I saw a darkie breaking into the house across the street...Follow

Mindel,

Don't get that attitude with me. You're not too old to get a spanking.

toot,



Sure she would. She's already admitted to being a closet heterosexual. Granted given where she lives I can understand her not being interested in the limp d*cked liberals she's surrounded by on a consistent basis.

Mindel,



That's just a front. We all know all you need is a good humping.




I would adapt, improvise, and overcome.

Naa, I already said something yesterday about him being upset his wife wouldn't take it in the pooper and he was all "eww'ed" about it. Although maybe hes the one that likes it in the ***.

You know it intrigues you. Also, I wasn't even the one that brought it up first. That was Anna.

Also, I still don't see whats wrong with that.

Its ok Anna. There is nothing wrong with it and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. You are a special snow flake!

Somebody arguing the specifics of an incident based on anecdotal evidence from a skewed perspective is really meh.



I've worked on tens of thousands myself & the population we serve overwhelmingly believe they were unfairly targeted and are not guilty....
about 10-15 percent accept personal responsibility for their predicament
Now granted, Cambridge may in fact have a problem, but the way POC who are involved in the justice system feel is not the best indicator.

I know there is & has been institutional racism in this country for many years,unfortunately this story is not gaining a lot of sympathy.

In the cases I have worked with (in California) the "unfairly targeted" have an extremely high chance of not seeing ANYONE of a different color than their own DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS.

From Cop, to nurse who draws blood, to deputy at Booking, to Pub.Defender, to Dist.Atty. to judge, to the head of the DUI program, to Admin. Per Se hearing officer at the DMV...they are ALL Hispanic/Latino.

And yet they still complain about being targeted for DWB (driving while brown)

This has nothing to do with the Gates fiasco but it has more to do with it than a feel-good, historically motivated, empathy that denies the possibility that Gates was acting the ***.

In the example I used, racism is just another tool of self delusion & denial.

I have previously lived and worked in a predominantly Black area and the same was true there. It always amazed me that Tookie Williams (Gangster, Robber, Murderer) was more apt to be a "Hero on a T'shirt" than Tom Bradley (LAPD sergeant during the Watts Riots,Police Chief,Longest serving Mayor in the United States, Airport named after him (thats bigger than John Wayne Airport) etc.

Until its OK to be skeptical about BOTH sides of these incidents, we have a long way to go, kinda sad.

In one of my early posts in this thread, I asked "anyone remember Zsa zsa Gabor ?" & no-one answered.

Is it that hard to admit that a rich white woman was arrested for essentially the same thing, many years ago ?

Mark Fuhrman using the "N word" actually has nothing to do with whether or not O.J. killed Nicolle & Goldman. (allthough, at the time, I personally was kinda glad he got off- just for the health of the Nation)

I know my fact-based and generally conservative posts are not well received here, but I honestly would like to see some healing in This country instead of so much frikkin Anger & Divisiveness.

The biggest, most public, Racist with the biggest following in this country is Louis Farrakhan. And I would like a few of you to Actually think about that.

Especially from the perspective of....I dont know.... maybe Morris Dees ?

Terrifyingspeed, maybe if we were talking about your town, your point up there might have some traction but it doesn't apply here. Your point doesn't apply to Cambridge PD or court system. I think too you definitely have issues (whitemansburden), but let's not get into that.

So what do you do, with your "tens of thousands" of cases? And why am I posting in this thread anymore?

Most POs and Attorneys that I've met, even in major cities, do cap out at less than "tens of thousands" of cases. If you are doing that many, are you really focusing on any at all?

Also, statistically, the justice system is the good indicator of institutional racism. There is a very extensive body of research to support my assertion.

Terrifyingspeed is like west coast Varrus.

Ideally they should. The fact that they don't is a reflection both of racism in the justice system today, and the past racism which accounts for their current socioeconomic status. Unless you mean to say they're genetically predisposed towards crime.

Nah, I started on this team. If it weren't for the cursed drink, I would probably have my gold star.
