No one actually said anything about violating anyone's civil rights. Glad you're so mindful of the savages in roxbury though. Your heart must be bleeding all over your shirt as you type.

No, no one did. And these "savages" (which has a nice racial tint, historically, terminology wise) are human beings.

No, that wouldn't be a civil rights violation.

I'm so tired of people defending the criminals also. They are scum. They have made their own life choices and dont care about the law until it catches up with them.
And no, that doesn't promote that is ok for the cops to be judge, jury, and executioner.

Right, no one here is promoting violating civil rights!

Default re

Savage is not a racial slur. So stop right now. I know what racial slurs are and I haven't used any. How about trash is that a racial slur? Loser? Disgrace? Heathen? Sloth? Nope none of those are racial slurs.

Right, savages was never used as a racial slur. Got it.

Yet, it was an incredibly common racial slur against native americans (primarily) and blacks for a long long time.

Heathen is often used as a religious slur.

The words seem fitting for the behavior displayed in many of those videos by the people of Roxbury and blacklivesmatter. I dont care what color they are.

this thread about a similar incident on the other side of the country didnt descend into veiled ( //www.city-data.com/forum/bosto...te-racism.html ):
//www.city-data.com/forum/curre...-murdered.html

although some of the commentors posted unsympathetic and inappropriate responses.

i feel sad for the families of the victims and the suspects of both crimes.

Those claiming every Roxbury resident is a savage and/or thug are nothing but racist trash. On the flip-side, those who outright deny the existence of thugs in Roxbury and get their panties in a bunch every time they hear thugs being referred to as thugs are a bunch of brainwashed idiots. In this particular case, the shooter and many of those fine young lads and gals in the video can certainly be referred to as thugs and savages.

I haven't seen anyone complain that actual thugs are being called thugs. They certainly are. There are far too many thugs.

There are also a ton, a really unhealthily large percentage, of police officers that engage in horrific behavior. I've seen it first hand. Stealing from citizens. Lying on the stand. Abusing civil rights. These aren't outliers.

I've got a feeling there won't be any morons chaining themselves to barrels on 93 over this savagery. This thug got what he deserved, when you shoot a cop you get dropped. The police have video of the incident and are preparing to release it from what I read, and BPD showed it to "local leaders" already to lay any knee-jerk cops are bad liar abusers misconduct accusation BS to rest. From the sounds of it this cop did none of the things you brought up but we will see.
