As blacks from Baltimore and other parts of the country riot in response to Freddie Gray’s April 19 death following his arrest on the 12th, The Atlantic reports that blacks increasingly “experience the police not as benevolent defenders of the peace but as an arbitrary menace.”

I’m guessing police feel the same way about most blacks.
The Atlantic reports that blacks increasingly “experience the police not as benevolent defenders of the peace but as an arbitrary menace.”
...
The same could be said of Libertarians.
You don’t say....
Hearts out to some of these “arbitrary menaces” who must certainly be losing the heart to even respond to calls in the ‘hood, aka “District 9”
this is what 3-4 generations of children raised without fathers and without authority figurers or social norms, taught starting at home, will do to a culture
I’m not a policeman, so I don’t know how thy feel, but I know how I feel.
Not only the police.
Taking bets on how many of them know what either of those words means.
Hard to be a successful criminal when the police are always butting in.
So the answer is mayhem, pillage and plunder-not to be confused with arbitrary menace.
Gee, what a co-incidence. I was begin to think that a particular race was an arbitrary menace, too....
I prefer conscious uncoupling!
Workers at the famed scientific Kenny Bunk VFW Bar Poll* have been receiving replies suggesting that the homies think this may be a new menu offering at "Arby's."
Yes, BG, we do this sort of work after having been fired by Karl Rove and the DNC. It's a data-gathering assignment from the justly famed law firm of Atty. Algonquin J, Calhoun, Esq. No matter how "Arbitrary Menace" translates into Ebonics, there's going to be big money in suing the police and municipalities.
Exactly what is an African-American? How many generations removed from Africa must you be before you are an American?
I am not an (Whatever)- American. I am an American. I don;t know or care or give a rats ass where my great great great great grandfather came from. Didn’t know him it doesn’t effect me.
I am PROUD to be an American. There is no other Country in the world I would rather be a citizen of and live in.
Parts of the country riot Holder approved?.
Free Republic: Americans increasingly view feral, out-of-control minority rioters as an arbitrary menace.
In the US we use the one drop rule.
But, many blacks define it as having been thru the American Black Experience, which excludes Obama and modern day immigrants from Africa or the black Caribbean.
Myself, I'm a card carrying member of the Mayflower Society.
IMO, it is not the police that African Americans are finding as a menace, it is what they represent - the laws of civil society. There is only street law in inner city neighborhoods. We saw it in Ferguson - “Snitches get stitches.” The first market being burned down was the sentence meted out by the street for getting the police involved. They burned the wrong market as it turns out.
But in the END, the STREET LOSES.
This article is misleading. A lot of blacks view the police with hostility. But there are a lot of blacks who are too afraid to speak up who would be scared to death if the police left their communities. They want the police. They know that the police keep black thugs, who would be preying on other blacks, in line and keep the communities from falling into utter chaos.
There is a working class Catholic black community near me who definitely don’t view the police as a menace. A drug dealer started operating out of their neighborhood and they were quick to call the cops and point him out. Its a shame that people like this get tarred with the brush that they also are irresponsible and ungrateful.
In other news, only 2% of those polled could define either the word “arbitrary” or “menace”.
