Black Police Sergeant: ‘We’re Called Things Like Uncle Toms and Traitors to Our Community’

Posted on 12/11/2014 5:24:56 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Jorge “Jinho” Ferreira feels the tension between being black and carrying a badge every day as a sheriff’s deputy in Alameda County, California.

“I feel like you have to prove yourself on every level,” said Ferreira, 39, who patrols about 30 miles east of San Francisco. “You have to prove yourself to the black community, you have to prove yourself to all of your co-workers, you have to prove yourself to society.”

With the nation roiled by two grand juries’ recent decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men, some black officers say that as they enforce the law, they also wonder whether the system they’re sworn to uphold is stacked against black men.

The rule of law recognizes no color.If it's illegal it's illegal for *all* races.And when a law has been broken it doesn't matter what color the cop is.There can be no doubt that that was Martin Luther King's position.

There is an element(probably well over half) in black society that incapable of civilized behavior on a daily basis. I have no idea why anyone is surprised especially blacks who deal with them on a daily basis. They are incapable of meaningful impulse control. Normally they are just like everyone else, but push the right button and boom!

PD’s have been bending over backwards to recruit these guys, and now even more so.

For Oakland PD, having a long, documented history of membership with a street gang is, perversely, NOT ground for being disqualified for employment.

It just looks bad if all the “customers” are black and all the officers are white (or just something else).

Wah, wah, wah...this guy could just about be RETARDED and work for Oakland PD, just so long as he’s black, which he is.

Obama has the black disease. A large percentage of them think that the law is something that only chumps obey.

Obama is carefully nourishing Ferguson-type outrage and rioting in order to create a new climate in which local policing can be more Federalized.

That is why he’s talking about the Feds getting involved with local police bodycams.

Let’s revisit these 20 seconds from one of his State of the Union Addresses, shall we?

You see, FEDERALIZING ALL COPS is another part of his plan.

He MEANS what he says in his speech.

He lies so often it’s tempting to ignore EVERYTHING he says, but all of a sudden he’ll lay plain his plans with breathtaking (and reckless) honestly.

Look at the things they are arrested for. Seriously folks. They think they can do anything they want, and I mean anything, and they’ll get away with it, or at the very least should.

They’re Black.

I don’t like saying this, but over and over and over and over, it’s the same old thing. They get picked up for crime. They get convicted of the crime.

I’m not saying Whites don’t commit crime, but generally speaking they suspect they might get caught, and they know that if they do they will pay a penalty.

There’s no Jessie, Al, or Holder standing by to intervene, act like it’s a race crime to hold them to justice.

Blacks, wake the F up. At least those of you who can’t understand why you’re arrested a larger percentage of the time. STOP COMMITTING THE CRIMES!

Notice nobody every says they’re not guilty. They only say they’re arrested too many times.

I feel horribly for the folks who try to play it straight in the black community.

Would a federalized police force be a standing army? Sounds unconstitutional or .. Something. Wouldn’t it violate posse comitatus? Not that it matters

I respect any black cop who stands for the rule of law.

I believe they truly ARE victims of discrimination: from people of their own race.

I also firmly believe there ARE bad cops out there. But they are not representative of the whole.

Eric Garner should NOT be dead today. The grand jury made their ruling, and it ought to be respected, but his case is vastly different from Ferguson.

The sycophant media refuses to ACKNOWLEDGE the differences in the cases, but honest evaluators are able to see them.

And black kids who try to do good in school are called sell outs. What they are really trying to do is “buy in” to the American Dream, but if they succeed than it shows it can be done. This destroys the easy out of the welfare check and crime being the only way.

Yes, it would be tough to be black and trying to get ahead in the USA, but NOT because of us “racist” white conservatives!

your community is in shambles and likes to murder itself, others, and burn things down.

they have nothing in common with the black community except darker melanin levels. other than that nope.

imdon’t identify with neo nazis, white trash welfare whores, white murderers, or white collar embezzelers. i m happy when they are caught and go to jail. i don’t know why blacks can’t detach from the hive mind. it holds them back and the good ones wrongly believe that when bad ones are punished it’s somehow a judgment on them.

the good ones don’t act like the thugs. look and act like a thug you get treated like one.
