FWIW, black cops have a reputation of being harder on “their own”.
If Officer Wilson had been black, this wouldn’t have happened. He would have had a greater understanding about the situation and allowed his homies to walk in the middle of the street with their stolen cigars.
Most likely, lower standards.
Y’all make sure you indoctrinate the newbies to be able to separate your blue bros from ‘civilians’ so they know there is only one response to any resistance from the proletariat.
RACIST crap!
A white guy can’t police as competently as a black guy?
It that’s the stuff NAACP/DOJ/Sharpton et al are pushing then there can be no black police in predominantly white towns. Ohh, there’d be hell to pay for that. You know there’d be screams of racism, calls for “diversity”, and law suits.
Well backatcha. Don’t capitulate to the racist mob.
If that means more of them are law abiding and are willing to take a beating or shooting like the white officers have had o more power to ‘em. They migh understand how we furl after they get a taste of their own medicine...
But not too many or too quickly, because every so often folks deserves a chance to go out and loot some free stuff
Of possible interest ping.
Drug test.
Dohh!!!

Boy, did that ever cool down the "pig-callers."
Sloutching to the lowest denominator.
That’s not racist, is it?
A post by another FReeper on another thread got me thinking. Apparently, the Ferguson police force has a miniscule number of blacks, in a town that is predominantly black (that might have been why they felt they had to go to the state police to get a black officer to attempt to counter the protests). It sounds like an effort to attract more black lawmen and women to Ferguson couldn’t hurt.
Really? Just where are they going to these applicants? This will be an interesting issue. Hire at will. Just to keep the so called peace.
The idea that this wouldn’t have happened with a black police officer is wrong and insulting to blacks. You want to have blacks targeted less often? Don’t do the crime.
Good luck finding enough qualified young black males who can pass a background check. Sad, but that’s the ugly reality. We’ve seen it in our metro area.
Do they realize there are some requirements? A high school diploma for one.
Lower the standards
