Yeah I know but I wasn’t sure if that was sarcasm about my argument or if that was legit an agreeance.
I was referring to the police in this video.
Much like this video collage and this declaration of a crucial step met by two of the three co-founders of BLM yes. At least that’s assuming that wasn’t sarcasm on your part.
Like this group in black?
I agree with you, totally discredited.
Funny then how these days, we can just discredit a movement by simply recording and sharing a group member’s actions.
tl;dr COINTELPRO was a program set up by the FBI right around the start of the civil rights era to delegitimize and disrupt political movements by infiltrating and working to create a negative public image for the targeted groups among other nefarious activities.
Of course the American public didn’t know of the program’s existence until several years after its formation.
This is 100% the issue. Cops will never face consequences under normal circumstances. This is about finding rotten apples, scraping the mold off, and putting it back in with the good. Every precinct has rotten apples. All of them. In every part of America. And none of them are being chucked out even when they are repeat offenders. I hate the idea that we have to protest for every single time this happens. Every time they put a rotten apple back i the barrel with the rest.
Now all we want to do is burn down the orchard. We’re tired of getting food poisoning. I think that’s reasonable.
Cops who abuse their authority rarely even stand trial, much less get convicted.
If cops were held to the same standard as the rest of us, these abuses would not happen so often.
After rotten apples, more pests appear.
“You are rotten!” exclaimed the fruits of other orchards.
But why?
Where can we find people who break the vicious circle?
Please go over the history……They’ve been here before.
Also worth pointing out is that, if you want to continue the original metaphor: the farmer that burns down her own orchard because of a few bad apples, is the farmer that starves shortly thereafter.
The police are making the protests into riots deliberately. And if you don’t see that, you aren’t paying any attention.
In an entire area’s police force of decent size, you will find a few bad apples, but among those who riot, destroy and steal, you’ll find the entire orchard is rotten.
A bad officer = police brutality
A group of rioters = mob brutality
Same thing, basically.
