Was this cop justified? (Oakland, Mission Viejo: restaurant, food, racist)

Now I'm kinda seeing why people are calling you racist, irrational etc.

Because I'm against a high fat diet?

well I just got here and this quote from your post..

Also, historically, juries have been quite friendly to law enforcement when they are made up of people who come from normal communities, i.e - Not the ghetto.

seems to indicate a bias

That's not a bias, it's a historical fact. People in neighborhoods of high crime and poverty, tend to not favor law enforcement when it comes to trials.

I'm not sure how that makes me racist.

there is a percentage of cops who are on a power trip, revert to pushing people around or using more violence than they should to get control of a situation. cops like this give good cops a very bad name.

if you have to taze a granny, verbally abuse a skateboarding teen or use a closed fist to take down a teen you need to be re trained.

Damn. That second cop was a complete and total jackass! Those kids will grow up with no respect or trust for the police. He wanted respect but respect is something that is earned, not forced.

As for the granny...no comment.

You know what makes you racist you inbred garbage eating leach. The reference to fried chicken and all your other worthless BS you've been posting.

Okay, so basically nothing makes me racist and you're just lashing out at me because you disagree with my viewpoints?

Since the Civil War, traditional slave foods like fried chicken, watermelon, and chitterlings, have suffered a strong association with African American stereotypes and blackface minstrelsy. This was commercialized for the first half of the 20th century by restaurants like Sambo's and Coon Chicken Inn, which selected exaggerated blacks as mascots, implying quality by their association with the stereotype. While acknowledged positively as soul food in the modern age by many, the affinity that African American culture has for fried chicken has been considered a delicate, often pejorative issue; While still present, this perception has been fading for several decades with the ubiquitous nature of fried chicken dishes in the US and a gradual ageing and dull acceptation of this stereotype.

Umm, you do know that fried chicken is enjoyed by numerous cultures and people. I'm a Mizrahic Jew and I have eaten fried chicken (in moderation).

For all the cop lovers, here is an update with the BART cop story:

Key witness takes stand in Mehserle trial (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2010/06/18/BAMI1E1D58.DTL - broken link)

Just reading how crude and insensitive this guy is you would wonder who the thug is? People have given too much power to cops to shoot/kill anyone they deem dangerous for whatever reason and it is simply nuts!
