Back to the topic of the thread:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...hpModule_99d5f542-86a2-11e2-9d71-f0feafdd1394

Plot Twist: he banged himself up in the back of the police van according to the other criminal locked up in the back.


Will be curious to see how accurate it is and if it is accurate how downplayed the media will make it. Sounds like another Trayvon/Brown scenario where people overreacted before the facts were made clear.

As I mentioned yesterday on this topic, my jury duty last month dealt with an unarmed black kid and a Latino cop where the kid bashed himself all over the van and inside the van, bit and spit blood to avoid being seatbelted, etc.

The difference was that my case wasn't about police brutality as it was the technicalities of what constitutes resisting arrest charges. But the stories are sounding eerily similar based on that article.

As ignorant as Hustini and Andrea are, they aren´t wrong. The American Dream isnt a lie. It cant be, its a dream. Sometimes dreams come true, sometimes they dont. We dont call it the American Truth or the American Standard of Living that everyone will achieve.

However, its much more difficult to climb the social ladder these days. Especially in major cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago where poorly thought out policy has seen those good blue caller jobs one could use to move up in the world disappear. We all have stories about relatives moving to the US and climbing the socio-economic ladder, working hard, and making a life for our families. However, most of this was done some time ago when we had a growing middle class and economic infrastructure was in place to encourage upward mobility. However, today things are much different and unless Pappy made his mark in the last 5 years, his story isn´t relevant.

No one is saying it's easy, what we are saying is that you can always better yourself here. It's up to the individual if they want to or not

Unfortunately, people jump to conclusions to hastily. Which further accents the underlying problems concerning Police and their relationships with the communities they protect.

Media isnt helping the situation either, constantly plastering the tele with videos of police brutality, never covering the good things police do, so that the public are only exposed to the negative aspects of law enforcement.

    Interesting. Can't believe you had jury duty for essentially the same thing:D

    That's their perception. We can't honestly be intelligent because we don't follow their mindset

    Ignorance and intelligence are two different things. For example, your comment a few pages back on the Civil Rights Movement was ignorat as fuck.:D

    I see the big picture but I see it differently. So again, because I don't see the big picture the way YOU see it makes me ignorant?
