There were 6 officers arrested. Here is the news article with pictures of the officers arrested. You can decide if any were white or not white. It really shouldn't make any difference all we need to know is 6 police officers were involved.
Oh I understood it. That is why I can confidently call it Mumbo Jumbo.
If you understood it and disagreed with it you would have said why and discussed your reasoning. Rejecting it out of hand as "mumbo jumbo" shows you didn't understand what you read (and really, did you read it? Probably not).
It's cute to see people saying race didn't matter. It was about about police brutality all along.... That surely was not case in Ferguson, or Eric Garner or Rodney king.
When it was all about white officers, the topic strayed to socioeconomic disparity and how predominately black neighborhoods are controlled by white people. Now that three black officers are involved, all of a sudden I don't see that.
Dillon Taylor
Gilbert Collar
James Whitehead
Joseph Harvey Jr.
were not equal in media attention to
Mike Brown
Rumain Brisbon
Eric Gardener
Freddie Gray
The premise that race of the officers has nothing to do with this is laughable and quite frankly dishonest.
Now that the officers aren't all white, people in the PC department have had to shift gear. First it was "black lives matter" then black leaders found themselves under pressure and to win support from whites and became a victim of their own environment of extreme political correctness. White liberals hijacked the movement to become "all lives matter" they diluted the message of "black lives matter" and now it has been diluted even further to simply being against police brutality.
For years officers of all colors have been doing these things to people of all colors, I would say on a grander scale and more widespread, even. It's just now in the information age we can instantly report an incident that would have gone unreported in 1995 in a matter of minutes to millions of people.
My point is mostly black people (and many white people) turned this into a white vs black thing with "black lives matter." It implied that if only the police departments and city governments were staffed by non-whites that things like Michael Brown wouldn't occur. Now its shown, that is not the case. So what I am saying is this is an important case and the races of the officers involved are important and relevant. Because now we can stop with the poor black citizens vs white privledged cops crap and move on to start combating police brutality from officers of all races against victims of all races.
Another point. The media and lawyers have proven how untrustworthy they can be with this whole Donta Allen story.
Why else would it be that when FOX News puts up that composite image of the six officers, the three Black ones are arranged in the top row, with the three White ones below?
Personally, I like the checkerboard pattern... :-)
