I haven't really been in this thread but I'm going to assume all is well?
Everyone is getting along?
Oh we're getting along famously.
One big happy family over here.

There's no difference dude, you are now just posting convenient excuses. No one HAS to do ANYTHING. That's the whole point of the system, no one is held accountable. I wasn't even talking about big pharma when I mentioned doctors, that's a separate issue. Believe it or not physicians actually have very little to say when it come to pharmaceutical companies. There are many other ways doctors harm minorities.....neglect, less than stellar care, psychological abuse, refusal of care and just plain murder.
Nurses are unionized and studies show that nurses treat poor and minority patients differently which affects outcome, no outrage against white nurses.
What about in finance/banking? Banks who refuse to give loans to minorities forcing them into a system of poverty, where is the outrage?
What about housing and real estate?
My point is there's nothing unique about the police, they are just a glamorous target. You can put a face to the bullet so to speak.
Big pharma can do whatever they want. The average physician has no say in any of this. Most doctors don't get paid anymore if they give aleve vs. tylenol. Surgeons don't get most of their money from prescribing drugs. And if you're getting favors from pharm companies to prescribe one drug over the other it is illegal and many physicians get in trouble for it. Physicians involved in politics and management are not you average physician.
Those topics never come up, because police shot Marcos and Marcos was shooting at him.
But people here seem to have no qualms talking about ALL cops.

CORRECTION.
The union argument is a cowardly cop-out, no pun intended. Racists of all professions do not need a union to not be held accountable. Even if cops didn't have a union, the people that hirer the cops are racists, the people who try the cops are racist, the people who charge the cops are racist, the people who train the cops are racist.
Miss me with that.
These philosophy 101 glossary terms have me dying over here
At some point if you're going to engage in ad hominem you have to naturally expect some back.
It not being the same does not mean it's any less unethical. Just look at the heroin epidemic the "medical" industry has created organically.Broken system isn't the same thing as a corrupt system that actively infringes on civil liberties and ignores the law. Individuals that actively engage and choose to be apart of that are not the same as individuals working within a broken system that at best gets over on the poor.
That's a pretty harsh analogy.Figures you can't grasp the analogy.
Didn't expect you to be familiar with the Nuremberg defense or superior orders.
I'm talking the present day epidemic. You know how many people started shooting dope because they couldn't afford to keep up with their oxycodone habit that began with a prescription? Something like 80%.
lol the medical industry didn't create the heroin epidemic, the U.S. government did. However, the prescription opiate epidemic is heavily perpetuated by doctors.
Thought you were done here.
Decided to cheerlead? Can't make your own arguments so you're resigned to cosign others?
Fair enough .
This isn't just about cops killing certain ppl or ppl in general. I know I felt this way for a much longer time.The police are a scapegoat for a lot of deep seeded issues in this country. The police are literally not killing people en masse like the media portrays it. The statistics are out there, the likelihood of being killed by the cops in this country is less than 0.00002 percent, and the likelihood of getting killed UNARMED is even less. My mistrusts for the police doesn't stem from fear of being killed at their hands, they are just one of many tools of institutionalized racism in this country. Unfortunately I cannot support the public and black people's blind scapegoatism of the police when there are politicians, doctors, lawyers, judges, neighbors, teachers, who have just as much blood on their hands.
If you think all cops are the same, then all white people are the same and deserve death and no sympathy.
Bleh, doctors are supposed to serve and protect they take an oath to do no harm and I know for a fact doctors kill more black people than the police.
Again no threads about politicians, judges, lawyers, real estate agents, banks....who create these environments where people are violent to survive and inevitably clash with law enforcement. But the pawns take the blame
Anybody can say this.Crazy part I've probably been harrassed and had probably more terrible experience with the NYPD growing up than some of you with the pitchforks in hand
Doctors are scumbags and hospitals are death traps health wise and money wise.This isn't just about cops killing certain ppl or ppl in general. I know I felt this way for a much longer time.
This is about how they treat those they're suppose to serve and protect. This is about the relationship they have with the community. It isn't a sudden thing. Been like this for decades.
Their studies coming out more and more about what type of ppl the NYPD are more likely to target and why. Those stop

It has always been an epidemic to some extent, but NOTHING like what it is present day.
sources?
I mean last time I checked heroin has always been an epidemic in this country but i may be wrong.
your experience is just that YOUR experience..Actually my last running with them was a positive one, I reversed down a one way street on my old block in Tremont and these two walking patrols pulled up to me and asked for my liscence, dudes had an attitude so I was ready to take the L dude came back and was like "I'm writing you 6 tickets" I was ready to spaz and he just laughed and said he was joking and I was good with a warning
I was surprised as hell....for sure I thought dudes was gonna hit me off with a summons.
That because making a thread on NT is pointless (in the macros sense at least, on the micro other ppl reading may gain something). To think making a thread about it on here and discussing with yall is progress is to be deluded. If you honestly feel that's the difference maker I pity you. You're too far gone.Anybody can say this.
With the way you portray yourself on here I can see why you would be so passive about the police harassing you though. So to put it simply you are you b don't worry about other ppl. That **** is unacceptable if it happens one time. This aint a competition about who got jammed up by the cops the most and is the least mad about it.
Doctors are scumbags and hospitals are death traps health wise and money wise.
Difference between the popo and a doctor is doctors can't harass you. Quite frankly, it's one thing to just kill somebody when they come in sick or dying it's a completely other thing to conduct repeated abusive patterns on specific groups of ppl.
But like I said to steezy and said to you before this aint a competition and they'll get theirs all the same.
Also don't be confused this wasn't a thread made to talk about why they hate the police. One poster shared his opinion and now instead of acting like it isn't an understandable viewpoint depending on where you live we're getting a lot of what about the individuals and what about this profession that kills black ppl more.
Feel free to make the thread about corruption in the legal system. Not sure how you could think NTers are silent on that. Been several threads about how privatized prisons is a business, corrupt judges in on the scheme, and countless innocent men doing decades in prisons being freed due to DNA evidence or by other means.
Same for politicians and the healthcare system threads. I guess you'd be surprised about the replies.
Hmm good we are progressing, I honestly don't thin you really care about what kills black people in this country. I am call all the police haters in here out, you don't care. You are more or less like those white people who think they can start a new hippie revolution. I have yet to see you create a thread about the housing system in this country. I have yet to see you create a thread about social determinants of health which kills more black people than the police. I have yet to see you create a thread about how uneducated your children are(i don't mean just black children, it trickles down .
But yea you're right, the police.
