Blacks don’t have to follow the same rules and laws as anyone else. Because they’re black you know.

It would be racist to think otherwise.

Not just one, of course, but a start has to be made somewhere.

it’s been this way for awhile. they have to commit how many crimes before they get serious time? then complain how “more black men are incarcerated ...blah blah”

Same with just any rules of conduct of politically correct stuff...they don’t have to comply. Can say and do anything they want then when FINALLY there is push back “This is racist”

Must be nice to never have to own up to your bullshit.

The only way we’ll ever get to racial equality is to give some groups special treatment [said no rational somebody ever].

The simple solution:

Re-instate him
Put him in uniform and have him walk the beat .... in Zulu territory from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ... alone.

The issue should resolve itself pretty quickly.

Antifa/BLM is a paid terrorist organization of white and all colors of violent commies run by the deep state. Keep him and BURN LOOT MURDER terrorists out of local state and federal jobs. That includes a lot of F’ed up lazy teachers too. They are arsonist, enemy combatants who burn people up in their homes and destroy their land.

[[Blacks don’t have to follow the same rules and laws as anyone else.]]

that’s what it’s turning into for sure- I was watching a show about an old police case back in the 70’s, and even back then- some black folks and minority folks felt like they were above the law and didn’t have to listen to the police- screaming ‘get your hands off me’ pulling away- and walking away- refusing to listen to orders- (Yes, white folks do this too- however, it much more prevalent and demonstrative in the black community- especially today- many just feel like they don’t have to listen to police at all) so this has all been brewing for quite some time- it’s just a lot worse now-

Things are getting very ugly these days, and liberals are encouraging this crap- and the minority folks are taking full advantage of it to the detriment of this country and law and order- Liberals ignore black crimes, while swooping in to arrest white folks for just defending themselves against some minority criminals-
