I'll believe you when a white tennis pro gets tackled by cops, because black with money obviously means nothing.
Wrong. It's just that non-white (quite honestly, I don't like these collectivist terms, identifying individuals by skin color) recipients of police excesses get extraordinary coverage these days because it's currently driving more views/traffic/interest/outrage.
The collectivist/Communistic view of human beings is the problem. You are not a skin color. You are born, live and die an individual and the US Constitution only recognizes individual rights, not collective "rights".

Don't you think it's a little presumptuous of you to make that determination with no data whatsoever and from the perspective of a white guy?
Disclosure: white-looking hispanic guy here. Always treated with respect and deference by cops. Have experienced first hand cops' rude and aggressive behavior towards friends who look hispanic or black.
Did you just 'invent' that graph? Next [@]SpamSandwich[/@] is going to tell us is that white privilege doesn’t exist either.
Edit: you know it's gotten bad when other whites complain about it.
Oh that Brooklyn Moment is absolutely hilarious... especially the comments.
I saw it somewhere else on YouTube earlier in the weak where the comments were akin to UFC vs. Olympic Boxing in the above (12? Nobody cares? Shocking!)

Why are you assuming I'm a "white guy"?
Also "the police" are all ethnicities. The issue with police is the legal allowance of behavior that exceeds what a normal person would conclude to be sensible. Protection from prosecution for violent responses engenders a culture of violent response.

How many white credit card fraud suspects get tackled by the police? Did Bernie Madoff get tackled, and thrown to the ground? The police officer had a conversation, shook hands, and patted James Blake on the shoulder before walking off, and then running back to tackle him.

That's totally me as well. I got into a car accident with a black gentlemen, and when the cops arrived they pulled me to the side, and asked if I was 'on the job?' meaning if I was a police officer.

Do you have a buzz cut and were you wearing a sidearm?

Allow me to properly finish that thought for you. This according to the majority US "Court of Popular Opinion™":
The collectivist/Communistic view of human beings is the problem. You are not a skin color. You are nothing but hands and feet to plow your coolective endeavors into upholding and serving the ruling Communist/Marxist apparatchik and thus glowing examples of effective propaganda.
Skin color, language or locality has nothing to do with it.
Have I pointed out yet that this "Court of Popular Opinion™" gets things wrong and is often quite disappointing?

At the very least a great great great great great grandson of one.

When I was younger I had a bad habit of neglecting to update the tag on my car. One day I was pulled over with a six month expired tag. I actually had the new replacement tag inside the car with me but had not bothered to replace it. So I wait as the cop spends several minutes in his car writing up a ticket. When he finished and walked up to my window, I sheepishly held up the new tag and said "sorry."
He was visibly annoyed, and after a moment's hesitation he brusquely asked me to "step out of the car please, sir!" He had me follow him to the back of my car where he proceeded to replace my tag while I watched. He did not give me a ticket. I was both grateful and flabbergasted.
I have trouble imagining this happening with a black dude.
The ‘everything should be free’ on the Internet bozo crowd is getting more than it asked for. It’s hilarious to see them posting here and elsewhere about how they block everything and have this nirvana-like Internet experience now. Oh wait... advertisers are still getting to them and their web viewing habits. Talk about an arms race, and it’s just getting started.
It is not our fault that the ad industry has turned the web into a cesspool of brainwashing. The behaviours of this particular app is despicable.
, neither, but I've always been told that I have that 'look'.
Assumptions are often made based on appearances. Sometimes fun to tweak expectations by "dressing down" or "up" and seeing how people react. I wore weather-inappropriate nice clothes yesterday and was constantly referred to as "sir", instead of "buddy" or "bro" or what have you...I found that amusing.

On 3 separate occasions I've driven past a red light right in front of the cops because I wasn't paying attention, and every single time I was not ticketed because I seem like a nice guy.

I figured that much... and it would've ruined the punchline... also genealogy can be tricky: you never know what "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" you might find under that tree and feel sorry that they're like, in you some way... eww! Better to skip a gen and error on the singular being responsible... some times.

That was funny. Why not so much these days?
Anyway... you missed my memo that the only good thing in Dallas are the Cowboys Cheerleaders!
So many examples of excellence in free-market economies... but this one stands out "collectively" and rather Communist in spirit :smokey:

Developer gets money from both sides. Stuff that. If an ad gets through then you haven't done your job and a refund should be issued.
