Justice in America is increasingly dependent on the color of your skin, both because of leftwing judiciary as well as the FEAR of consequences normal citizens have going against the system. This is especially true for White law enforcement officers.

I worked in retail for 15 years before I switched careers. As a result, I believe I have paid my fucking dues for around Christmas time and minimise my interaction with shops and people I don't know. I get all my Christmas shopping done before November (or at the very latest December 5th) and do my final grocery shop 7-10 days out from Christmas. If I need milk or bread I will go to a servo and just wear the markup. This reduces my exposure to every shitty Christmas song in creation, a third of them I am convinced Mariah fucking Carey is solely responsible for.

This is not a derail, I just need to provide some context. After checking out the video from a neo Nazi "free speech" youtube clone website, and seeing Mr Mannerbund also made videos titled, "Turn back time in South Africa" and "Israel's eye in the sky", I am fucking annoyed with myself that I didn't buy any popcorn last Wednesday. Maybe I can scab some off the neighbours because this thread is going to be fucking awesome.

Law enforcement has a history of racism in this country ever since it was founded and developed on the backs of slaves.

"Whereas great disorders, insolencies and burglaries are oft times raised and committed in the night time by Indian, Negro, and Molatto Servants and Slaves to the Disquiet and hurt of her Majesty's subjects, No Indian, Negro, or Molatto is to be from Home after 9 o'clock."

The worse case short answer is Capone era Chicago. Here in Seattle drug related shootings between rivals are common. Someone was shot during a drug deal a block from where I live.

Seattle police report that with relaxed law enforcement and prosecution policies criminals are comming here to exploit it.

Local reporting says that homeless camps are being used as fronts for urganized crime.

Recently there was a car jacking by 3 teens who drove around shooting at random.

Blacks have absolutely taken over America. We've got piccaninny Senators, jigaboos in the House, and a coon on the supreme court. They even put a darkie into the White House! — Can you believe it?? Prisons are full of white men (mostly sent up by black judges) while black thugs are free to walk around with automatic weapons, immune from police. College admissions is done in Ebonics now instead of English. Corporate Boards of Directors often have a token White Christian, but that token is typically a mask-wearing cuck who votes for baby killers.

The whole system is so rigged in favor of blacks, that White men have taken to painting themselves black when applying for a job or a bank loan, or even when hitting on a hot chick. But to stop this, our black overloads will soon be imitating Hitler and forcing whites to wear white stars on their clothing.

Many states are controlled by an alliance of the Black Party, lesbians and the Jihadists, and their legislatures are already taking steps to suppress the white vote. It's just a matter of time before there's a constitutional amendment to make each white voter only count 3/5.

Real Americans need to arm themselves with AR-15s before it's too late. Use a name like Muhammed X Slaveson when you apply — if the gummint suspects you're White they'll deny you your gun.

Well, statistically, we won't be able to tell the difference. Remember: the saying goes, “One bad apple can spoil the bunch."
This is especially true for law enforcement. The "good ones" as you refer to them now, are simply the observers that keep their mouths shut as their fellow police officers abuse their position, and the populace.

Nothing in Steve's post is 'personal history'. It's a mish-mash of vaguely sourced hearsay.

The closest it gets to being 'personal history' is the unsupported claim of an event "a block from where I live", which might vaguely imply that it's an eyewitness account, but which context suggests is not in fact anything more than hearsay. It's noticeable that Steve makes no claim to have seen or heard anything first-hand in any part of his post; And that he provides no sources other than the vague 'Seattle police', with no link to the particular police statements, nor any indication that police statements are being quoted or even accurately summarised.

We are right not to take his word about what Seattle police did or did not report. Or about what "Local reporting" might or might not say.

Unsourced assertions about the claims of third parties that vaguely support a political stance are the very essence of bullshit, and can and should be called out as such whoever makes them.

And your insinuation that calling this bullshit out would be unacceptable on this board if it came from "a trans person, or a black person, or a female person" is bullshit too - it's unsubstantiated, defamatory, and factually wrong.

Man, a year or so ago, there was a carjacking a couple blocks south of me. I heard the automatic gunfire from our house, and then the carjackers, in the carjacked car, struck my husband's favorite tree. 4 people were injured; dunno if anyone died.

Then there was a driveby shooting at a neighbor's house across the street, and the another neighbor on the block who has kids.

The thing the victims have in common is that they are excessively obnoxious as neighbors; one has threatened me on the street on front of his kid for merely being disappointed visibly in his illegal parking in the bus stop, and the other is host to a tree removal service company/family that occupies a third of the street side parking on the block.

Neither is good or acceptable; there are children in one of those homes!

At one point I also found a bag that had clearly been used to ship a large quantity of weed in it. At least a kilo weight from the creases and the size.

My suspicion is that the drug war is propping up neighborhood distribution networks; an affordable dispensary on the block would make all this bullshit go away.

Maybe then, we could turn the taxes towards better educational funding in the neighborhood.

The Seattle police have self-interested reasons to report that people are moving to the Seattle area to commit crimes.

The anecdotal report of a crime in a neighborhood is not evidence of more crime being committed because there are either fewer police or less enforcement.

As someone else pointed out, no one dismissed a personal experience. So why you keep repeating that canard is a bit disappointing.

And there is no evidence that you know this forum's culture well, let alone, pretty well.

Man, I wish I could get shmecked that reliably!

Hearsay; unreliable personal experience: (unstated: crime is getting worse and I know this because) crime happened!

Valid personal experience: I have watchrd people complain about worsening crime, but measured statistics I have seen indicate crime is not getting worse.

Also valid personal experience: I have had many experiences with discrimination and bullying therefore bullying is a problem (for me).

Observe, the unreliable personal experience takes an observation and jumps to a non sequitur: that their perceptions create a reality of worsening crime.

The valid experiences do not suffer from this non sequitur; the former uses actual measures crime statistics to test the perceptions of personal experience; the latter merely makes observation that an experience has happened and all on its own indicates a problem for the speaker, from their perspective.

The key here is the isolation to perspective in the latter and the use of statistical validation in the former.

Making claims of reality, rather than merely of experience of that reality, is where it breaks down for Steve.

Well, mostly it's because I'm pretty sure ZiprHead likes his Shmecking to involve breasts and feminine behavior. I cannot say for certain what gender based kinks or fetishes hold sway in their universe, however, so YMMV.

Me on the other hand, well, I think that's where we'd be getting into "couldn't afford it" range. Which is to say, you couldn't afford me. Hell, Amazon can't afford me and it isn't for a lack of trying.
