The police brutalize African-Americans. Many white people know this. The above man's complaint to the police shows that he knows this.

But sure, tell me again how police are not engaging in brutality or that the brutality disproportionately affect the poor and minorities.

What police brutality? I see a guy who is fighting being cuffed. I see the cops using the force needed to cuff him. I see no brutality.

My brain said "They didn't even taze you."

But my heart said "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! breathe in AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAH!"

What's "black" about getting tazed?

Of course not. It always takes 3 cops to pull down someone with his hands behind his back in order to put cuffs on him.

Where is there any force more than needed to cuff him?

And more cops means it's less likely that anyone gets hurt.

Today's candidate for "They didn't shoot him" for dumb show.

Yeah. I coulda just wrote - sigh -

Seriously, blacks want to be tazed because it's better than being killed by multiple shots from multiple guns by frightened maniacs under cover of power.

They arrested this guy normal with no "police brutaity". Supposedly that's how black people are treated. So, no problem. <alt-leftists' heads explode>

Sure. Getting tazed is usually better than getting shot. Thank you Captain Obvious.

by frightened maniacs under cover of power.

Vast majority of police shootings are justified. Don't attack police, drop your gun when ordered, and chances you are going to get shot are very small indeed.

First, dude was acting a fool in the airport, which is a don't;

Second, they treated him well - he wasn't tackled out of nowhere, he wasn't bodyslammed like it was Wrestlemania, and they fucking warned him that he was going to be pepper-sprayed - never mind any thing involving a weapon. I'd love if more cops were like that, and I've said before that some cops I've dealt with were actually perfectly reasonable, and even though I didn't have anything to do with what they were investigating, it made sense that they would see me as a person of interest.

Truth told, he may even be against police brutality despite being a Trump supporter apparently. I'm still laughing, though.

Yes.

Yes.

What, exactly?

Watch the video - instead of forcing him down, just hold his arms and get the cuffs on. No need to drag him down, etc....

When someone is resisting they might bolt. Hence taking them down is normal.

I think some people have never been around Hispanics and blacks.

I know a little Spanish. If a couple of Hispanics do not like a white guy or are agitated by a white guy the word 'blanco' comes up. Analogous to nigger. Blacks who I know and do not consider racist can mouth anti white slurs ion occasion when agitated.

The highlighting of every expression interpreted as racist has become an obsessions. Moral grandstanding.

Having police justify their behavior is not the kind of proof I was expecting.

Blanco isn't analogous to nigger at all. Blanco/a and negro/a are the normal terms used for "black" and "white" when referring to skin color / ethnicity.

'blanco' is NOT the white version of 'nigger' ffs

My understanding is that a common Hispanic word for anyone north of the Rio Grande is "gringo". It is from "griego", "Greek", used for anyone who speaks an unintelligible language.

Going the other way, "spic" is from "spiggoty" as in "no spiggoty English" ("no speak-a the English").

As to black people, "negro" is the Spanish word for black. It got distorted into "nigger".

Some black people use "honky" as an insult for white people. That word is likely a distortion of "hunky", in turn short for "Hungarian".

Another such insult is "cracker" from poor rural white people. The most plausible etymology of that one IMO is a shortening of "corn cracker", and I'm not sure how that comes about. From growing lots of corn?

The first Europeans to mention black people were ancient Greeks, and their term was "aithiops", meaning "burnt face" or "burnt-looking". This was borrowed into English as "Ethiopian".

On the other side, a word for white people in the Yoruba language of West Africa is "oyinbo", which apparently means "peeled person". Another West African term is "toubab", but its origin is less clear.

In East Africa, a word for white people is "mzungu", which apparently means "wanderer" or "dizzy".
