Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, moments after shocking police video was released showing an Illinois officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey after she called police fearing a home intruder.
In his first public statement since dropping his bid for re-election, Biden said the shooting of Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, by white Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, in her home in Springfield, after a dispute over a pot of boiling water, “reminds us that all too often Black Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not”.
Biden, who is recovering from Covid at his home in Delaware, said Massey, “a beloved mother, friend, daughter and young Black woman … should be alive today”.
I wasn’t interested in your analogy. You take the ludicrous position that there being fewer crimes by racist cops has some meaning that there are somehow good cops now, not the fact that laws were absolutely necessary to stop their behavior. And it still didn’t stop it anywhere near as much as it should have. And if those laws were gone, it would go back to being as bad as it was.
I don’t have to sow discord and division, we have an entire group of uniformed people in blue who do that just fine themselves when they do things like shoot an unarmed black woman in her home. You know, this event you seem hell-bent to use to tell us all about how there are good cops.
Oh I understand. It doesn’t make you not wrong both literally and metaphorically in one of the worst ways possible which is frustratingly sad in how it’s completely antithetical to your goal. But I understand.
You do know that just declaring someone to be wrong doesn’t make them wrong, right? You are not the arbiter of reality.
True. Sauce, logic, and objective reality is. Which I provided.
You have provided anecdotal hogwash based on feels making reals just as brainwashed through doomscrolling media as some of the worst MAGA Republicans I’ve ever met.
People can understand you. They can even agree heavily. That doesn’t make it true lol.
You didn’t provide “objective reality.” You said that civil rights laws mean cops aren’t as racist anymore, which is hilarious, because if cops weren’t racist, *we wouldn’t have to keep using civil rights laws to hopefully punish them for killing black people.
This seems to be a lot more about you excusing cops for killing black people.
No, you’re blind to what you’re typing is all because you’re just not reading the replies. You’re arguing against a hypothetical person you’ve already made up in your mind with a gamut of very different things every time you reply but it’s okay.
Nobody is arguing cops don’t kill black people at unacceptable rates nearly 2x higher than other races.
Nobody is arguing there aren’t racist cops, or bad cops.
You are arguing something completely different while not understanding the difference is a failure on your education system and multiple levels of failure at the local and government levels.
It’d be pitiable if it wasn’t for reasons I’ve labored on ad nauseum about already.
Trust me when I say everyone understands your position. It’s wrong. You trying to make up arguments other people aren’t saying is doing nothing but wasting both our times lol.
I have been saying the same thing I have been saying this entire time: There are no good apple cops. I have not wavered from this position. You have yet to show me anything that suggests otherwise. The closest you’ve gotten is that they’ve done less racist things than they used to.
