Farrakhan is a false prophet and sensationalism lover. As for welfare robber barons like Trump & various other corporations have been on welfare for decades.
Are you now Islamaphobic for making that statement? Maybe you're a racist because you don't agree with a black man's message or worse AN UNCLE TOM. Some of the Ministers people would label you. IJS. Social Welfare and Corporate Welfare are both bad, but Corporations pay salaries....and those salaries pay taxes. What about double taxation?

He did. A great majority of you guys are racists. Smh
LMAO. You don't know the definition of Racist then. We must get to the point that allows us to realize that just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them racist. By your logic if someone states that social welfare harms African Americans, they must be a racist. Cray.

Then we can expect you to "balance the situtation" by speaking on behalf of the airport shooter in Ft. Lauderdale?
Not with the information we have so far. I'm sure you'll find a bleeding heart liberal to find a way to defend the actions of this nut. Really can't compare the two situations IMO. You'd have to assume that all unarmed people that were hurt/killed were actually criminals intending to do harm.

Contrary to popular opinion all blacks do not think or act alike. We are not monolithic. Some are liberal, some are conservative. like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams as someone has pointed out. I voted for President Obama. I don't agree with everything he as done or said.
As for islamophobia concerning the LGBT community, you have to take that up with muslims. I am a christian.
Thank you...was a part of my rant on prejudice. We're not all a like.
Regarding taking something up with Muslims ...just pointing out hypocrisy. As fellow Christians, we get persecuted (as Jesus said we would) for stating our beliefs. Muslims are getting a pass on their beliefs because of the battle between Liberals and Conservatives.

I love how people justify criminality by bringing up history.......the "yeah, but what about them?"....attitude. Of course that changes when something happens to their loved ones. Then it's..." let's go get those *{

You seem to take this side and run with it. If the story is true, do you have any interest in the others cop's stories...or any interest in what prompted the guys to be stopped in the first place. I doubt any of that interests you as much as this one side of the story.
Of course, but there's already plenty in the conversation that have the cop's side covered. I'm pushing the other side of the argument to help balance the conversation. The 60min story showed an officer that was struggling with a perp and fearful of pulling her weapon in light of all the current tension. She winded up very hurt with some brain injury. As a sideline quarterback I would have pulled my daggone gun and said "I'll shoot" and see if the perp calmed down. She had one arm free to pull her weapon. Her partner was really spectating (based on limited video) and didn't jump in until late in the game.

Was he white-hispanic?
DAMN, you beat me too it. Them white hispanics must be stopped...LMAO. Seriously, it's gonna take some time to unravel this mess. I have great concerns about crazy man getting a gun on a plane and then loading at his destination. What's the protocol for traveling with a fire arm? I vaguely remember some news about this a while back when the gun issue was smoking hot.

Brings to mind the 2015 case of John JK Howard 18, who forcibly raped his african american team mate with a coat hanger. He should of at least gotten life in prison. But because he was white he got 3 months probabtion.
All you redneck racists can go to hell.
You take the actions of one person and apply it to an entire group? Hmmmmmm? Sure sounds similar to taking the actions of wild law breaking kids and applying their sins to an entire group. Double standard?

I guess all members of the clergy are child molesters. This is very easy to prove because several years ago the Catholic Church admitted that they had a problem with pedophile priests and even covered up the information. Buy your reasoning anyone in the clergy must be a pedophile or at least an overwhelming majority.
Of course not, my dad is a minister. That doesn't dismiss what's happened. Just because we have 10,000 kids molested instead of 10 million doesn't mean the issue isn't serious. Percentage wise of course the number is low. So I guess we should accept that .05% of kids will have to deal with molestation.

Either you have reading comprehension problems, you make up your own "facts" as you go along or maybe just poor memory.
You cannot find a single post that I have made in any forum that says such practices do not exist. I have never said that in my career and never will but here you are claiming that I have said that.
I am thinking there may be some validity to this being an alter ego identity.
I have said that the blue wall of silence, as is claimed by many people, does not exist. The idea that all officers will cover all officers or even anywhere near a substantial percentage of officers is bogus.
Just as in any profession or group of people, there will always be crooked police officers.
Some of the stuff in the 60 Minutes piece is pure nonsense. Things like statistics on race or money paid out by cities is drawing a conclusion with nothing to back up the conclusions.
I don't know if it can be found anymore but if you want to see nonsense on statistics you should read something called a fair roads standard back from the 1990s. LULAC, NAACP and ACLU wanted stops by police officers of minorities not to reflect only by population but by number of drivers licenses issues. That goes by the utter nonsense that everyone driving has a valid license. You could come ride Patrol with me and I can stop several people in a row that have no drivers license. According to the fair road standard this does not exist and I am imagining things.
You are either intentionally or unintentionally making up things and why le you did not make up the article for 60 minutes, it proves absolutely nothing. It certainly does not "refute" anything.
I may not be the only one with comprehension problems. With all due respect, you might be overly hopeful or delusional. Maybe your department is the beacon of true professionalism.

23 years and this is it?
Sure doesn't seem like an epidemic.
Maybe we have 23 years of too many keeping quiet. Also, 60mins was focused on Chicago. You don't think he's the only cop to be shunned?

I see your Michael Brown and raise you a Richard Wooten.

This was an excellent investigative piece done by 60 Minutes. A retired cop sure experienced some hate for not keeping quiet about what he saw. Code of Silence? His testimony sure refutes @tvc184 belief of no existence of this practice. Did Richard Wooten do the right thing or should he have kept quite?
Garry McCarthy: Officers are under attack. That’s how they feel, right. That’s how they feel in this environment, and they’re not going to put themselves and their families in jeopardy.
Frustration among cops deepened with a new order to be more selective about who they stopped, and write a two-page detailed report for every one. It was the result of a threat by the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the department for racial profiling.
Bill Whitaker: It doesn’t seem that filling out a two page report is that onerous.
Garry McCarthy: Oh, sure it is.
Bill Whitaker: It is?
Garry McCarthy: It could take you up to 45 minutes and one of the things in policing that we’ve been trying to do is knock back the amount of time that officers spend doing paperwork and get them out doing more proactive things to prevent crime.
There are reasons for the scrutiny. Since 2004, the city has paid out more than a half-billion dollars in settlements for police misconduct. A task force appointed by the mayor found evidence of racial bias, and reported that nearly 90 percent of police shootings involved minorities.
Richard Wooten: The Chicago Police is not racist, but I do know and do believe that there are racist police officers in the Chicago Police Department.
Richard Wooten broke ranks and talked to the mayor’s task force about what he saw during his 23 years as a Chicago cop.
Richard Wooten: They put me in this car with this guy, and my first couple of stops, I saw this guy stop a black guy. You know, several black guys on the street and they literally almost got strip searched right in the middle of the street. And I’m looking like “Wow.” Is this the way things are supposed to be done?
Bill Whitaker: You were called a traitor for speaking out?
Richard Wooten: Oh yes. At my retirement party when I got up to speak, a group of white boys in the back, they booed me, called me traitor, snitch.
Bill Whitaker: Was the booing the extent of it?
Richard Wooten: No. I went into the restroom, and I was confronted by a couple of the guys in the restroom about, you know, my position and how could I do that after 20-some years of service? But then as I’m looking into the urinal I see my picture that they’ve torn out of the program is in each urinal.
Bill Whitaker: They put your picture in the urinals?
Richard Wooten: My picture in the urinals. But I wasn’t angry Bill.
Bill Whitaker: You weren’t angry?
Richard Wooten: I was not angry. Because that just told me how dysfunctional we have of officers we have on the police department.

An Hispanic wanting to join ISIS? Voices in his head? Walking around with that mini-assault weapon?

No, you are wrong. They make outrageous claims which they can't/won't back up, then refuse to answer when called out, then accuse everyone on the board of being ignorant and racist. I want Left representatives on this board, but would rather do without than "debate" with such childishness.
Fair enough.

Rem_ is this a case of an unfair justice system?
No sir. NO ONE is getting behind those fools. With that said, please expect a race card professional to use this incident to push for some other incident to also be classified as a hate crime.

No coincidence. Remmus' spelling, grammar, and punctuation are far superior to either, or nappyroots. But it is weird that we seem to have only one, sometimes two people from the Left on here at a time.
That is strange. I hope all return. Will make for a spirited debate.

OOooooo. That's unexpected (Latino going Muslim). Wonder if his time deployed had an influence.
