Well hypothetically I wouldn't wind up in such a situation but if I did I would likely run, get my ass beat by the off duty cop, and my parents would ground me until i'm 18.

Hypothetically you would because that's how hypothetical situations work.

not in my hypothetical world.

But what if you were?

RR and Nas don't need folks like you, or me, to do their bidding for them.

We live in a country where is this now national news. A married white cop roughly detained a black kid involved in a fight who was trespassing on his property. The cop appeared to be an an empowered bully in the video- certainly, but I would say that it's no longer in a person's self-interest to use force against a black suspect.

We don't know the circumstances prior to the video, but I certainly question whether his primary motivation was racial hatred that trumped his own self-interest. It could be, but if that's your narrative based on just the video you are pushing an agenda.

When does this stupidity end? Why are you hellbent on trying to convince us that no white person is racist? Why do you believe that you are being victimized?

Because it fits his usual bigoted narrative . Like when he talked about a "firearm" being recovered. Later amended to state that a bb gun was found

Ridiculous. Somehow, a shitload of white cops arrest black people everyday without incident.

But yeah, it's probably not in their self interest to use excessive force. I agree they should stop doing that. Threatening to fucking kill the "suspect"(is this kid even a suspect in a crime) is probably also against a cop's self interest.

When did I say I was being victimized? I'm the one who believes in facts and evidence. You are the one who believes in invisible facts that we just must cling to. Just assuming racism is the path to a total meltdown. It's automatically assuming that an asshole is only that because of the person's skin. It's neither productive nor hopeful of anything better. And it leads to things like this:

You want to tell me that the judicial system is racist, as it pertains sentencing. I believe it. You want to say that black people have been put in a terrible economic position because of racism? I agree and say let's look for answers.

To assume that racism is present in police encounters absence of any context other than the race of those involved, and we have entered into dogma.

So you think cops are simply targeting blacks because of their race and killing them or beating them up? Just their hatred fuels them?

Well, to be fair, ruffcorn is a white suburbanite, and Seacrest said it's racist and offensive for white suburbanites to criticize this cop, so it's sort of a lose/lose here for us white suburbanites I guess.

Yes?

In any case, I’m not sure statistics of this kind are what truly undergird the hurt we feel in these times. When a black man is killed by a cop, do we grieve more because there are 46 million of us as opposed to 198 million whites? I doubt it: most Americans never hear about the white men's deaths at all.
Rather, we operate according to a meme under which cops casually kill black men under circumstances in which white men are apparently let off with a hand slap—and occasional cases of just that are what often get around social media, suggesting that they are the norm. That meme is quite understandable given the existence of racism in America. However, in 2016 that meme is vastly oversimplified.

You feel comfortable to label me based on a few arguments. You don't even attempt to understand what I am saying without resorting to name calling.

Your arrogance is amusing.

To suggest that I don't understand what you're saying is akin to saying that I don't understand that water is wet. Your racist tendencies are readily apparent.

Imo you may be the most reprehensible person that has ever regularly posted here

Again, the issue at hand is a grown man who put his hands on a child regardless of color. I have an issue with a quick tempered individual like this patrolling in my neighborhood. I also haven't heard a statement from our wonderful bitch of a mayor either, but that's besides the point. How is this guy not trained in deescalating issues without having to use force?

It's insult after insult from you. You have the agenda. I don't. If you want to debate facts I'm here. Want to play the victim card, well you seem to have that one down, but you are beyond ridiculous at this point.

Was the cop previously in the milatary?
