Cops make 'sinister associations' when dealing with black men, warns FBI director in landmark speech
Daily Mail ^ | February 12, 2015 | CLAIRE CARTER, DANIEL BATES

Posted on 02/12/2015 11:14:04 AM PST by rickmichaels

Police can make 'sinister associations' when dealing with black men and American police are facing a 'crossroads' in race relations, the director of the FBI has warned.

James Comey made an unprecedented speech about policing and race issues at Georgetown University today - becoming the first director of the FBI to speak at length about the issue.

Mr. Comey made the speech, called ‘Hard Truths: Law Enforcement and Race’, at a time when racial tensions with police in America are high, following the police shootings of Michael Brown in Ferguson in August and Eric Garner in New York.

Mr. Comey admitted that officers had to acknowledge that ‘much of our history is not pretty’ and that they had to change.

He said police officers who work in neighborhoods where most street crime is committed by young black men may hold unconscious biases which means they can be tempted to take a 'mental shortcut' in dealing with suspicious situations.

'The two young black men on one side of the street look like so many others the officer has locked up,' he said.

'Two young white men on the other side of the street - even in the same clothes - do not. The officer does not make the same sinister association about the two white guys, whether that officer is white or black.'

Does that mean the black men will change too? Of course not but now the officers be viewed as weak and the fun will begin. They could be much more effective if the parents would hold their children accountable and enforce discipline; in other words just do their jobs.

After the 2014 election, some thought it was no longer accurate. I said that putting the R’s in control will allow us to see where everyone stands via their ACTIONS. It’s going to be interesting to watch what really happens. I trust the R’s about .01% more than the D’s. As far as I’m concerned they are like the offense and defense of the same team.

Thats an excellent analogy.

Let the race hustlers tell us why complaining about the gender disparity in prisons is any different from their argument.

I was actually depressed after the 2014 election, because it meant that the traitorous Establishment Republicans no longer had to PRETEND to be the opposition. As my tagline states, I’m still batting 1,000.

Next the Jackson and Sharpton will demand quotas in the maximum number of times a cop can stop and question and possibly arrest a black man. See a black man dealing drugs in the projects? Nope, can’t arrest him because the cop has already reached his black arrest limit for the month.

I once tickled a squirrel on the stomach. It bit me.

I tickled another one around the butt. It bit me.

I tickled a third on the stomach. It bit me.

I tickled a fourth under the chin. It bit me.

When I mentioned to a friend that squirrels bit me a lot when I tickled them, he called me a Mammalian-Superiority Speciest.

Yep and the current administration, Soros, the UN, and ISIS / Islam are fast owaring us right into it. All predicted in Revelation in the bible and yet athiests still deny there is a God.

The thing is, the US is founded on the Constitution. The constitution is founded on God given rights to a single citizen and we are all to be treated equal and the law is to be applied equally.

What this means is that any “law” that supports or condemns members of any “group” of citizens is unconstitutional. This is why the ERA was such a fiasco and Affirmative action was eventually wiped out.

And this means that regarding the treatment of “blacks” by representatives of the government is only relevant on a case by case basis. Two men of the same race can be arrested for identical crimes on the same night in the same neighborhood. One may have been blatant racism while the other was a righteous arrest.

Exactly. The FBI loves a disgruntled black Nazi... And they want to make cops impotent and as sorry as blacks, and to disarm the populace

its called having a discriminating attitude, which is one of the FIRST things a baby learns.....which faces to trust...who to be afraid of ...what noises are scary...what smells are pleasant...etc...

humans MUST be discriminatory for their own good....

if these cops wize up and know the score...then they'll live a long life...

they can not react everyone the same way....they look at young blacks idling down the street differently then they would an elderly man with a walker....

R's in the congress is not the same as a D in the white hut....that Dumbass has appointed moslems and leftists blacks and many gays to high positions and judgeships, etc...

you people were WRONG voting for obobla....you voted for him when you didn't vote for Romney and this is what we have now....

the stupid people in this country vote stupid, but it is outrageous and mindboggling when the supposed smart, conservative people throw the votes away like they mean nothing, and of course, come back and complain about America....

that is the gist of everything....patriots/conservatives not forming a strong block of voters....instead, we have the whiny purist who like to stomp their feet to get attention.....

“’The two young black men on one side of the street look like so many others the officer has locked up,’ he said.

‘Two young white men on the other side of the street - even in the same clothes - do not. The officer does not make the same sinister association about the two white guys, whether that officer is white or black.’”

Cops can learn from past experiences. Those past experiences tell the cops that blacks are far more likely to be criminals than whites, and thus are rightfully seen as more probably criminals than whites.

Cops also learned that orientals are far less likely than blacks to be criminals.

Cops even learned that Jews were also unlikely criminals.

What the article demonstrates is that while a cop on the street can learn from experience, the FBI head evidently can’t, nor can the Regime.
