can you imagine if they made a white entertainment television? why isn't BET racist?

note i'm not condoning touching dudes (or anyone), i just think the whole "what if it was the other gender/race" as an argument, as if it's that black and white with no gray area. "if i change the facts of what happened, can you imagine the outcry?!"

also OBJ doesn't need to be charged with anything. that cop can still have discretion while he's reeming kids out for underage drinking and still be able to tell OBJ to stop being a piece of poo poo.

charging someone with simple battery for slapping your rear end in a football locker room after winning the national championship is like giving a dude 10 years for having some crystal meth. it's way excessive but doesn't mean what the person did was legal. the cop can have discretion and not file criminal charges AND OBJ still be wrong at the same time. poo poo's wild, i know.

e: i predict they will drop the charges anyway and they just did this to send a message or something, so all of this will probably be irrelevant anyway.

also you'll have a hard time convincing me that it's not just some white cop on a power trip over some black people (not just OBJ, the other dude in the video that he's talking to at the beginning)

if joe burrow had slapped his rear end there'd probably be no charges (if we want to entertain the 'can you imagine if it was a woman' notion then i think it is fair if we entertain the 'can you imagine if obj was white' notion)

That cop's rear end is registered as a deadly weapon, OBJ lucky he didn't get shot for attempting to disarm

Atleast its not the thread where a cop says the word pig is worse then saying the n word with a hard r to a black person

Former Maryland cop charged with rape, attempting to infect victim with HIV

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/01/23/us/maryland-former-cop-rape-hiv-indictment/index.html

quote:

Martique Vanderpool, a 30-year-old who police say is HIV-positive, is accused of raping a woman after a traffic stop, when he was an officer of the Fairmount Heights Police, according to the Prince George's County Police Department.
After Vanderpool and another officer stopped the woman's car last September, Vanderpool asked her to get out. One of the officers handcuffed her and called for a tow truck to take the woman's car, according to a PGPD release.

Because it was a very similar even from last month where a female sports reporter got buttslapped by a passing runner while she was reporting on a marathon

sorry man, i get what you're saying but it really does change the outcry in these kinds of situations if it's a woman, not a man. is that fair? no. is it realistic? unfortunately, yes.

Skyscraper posted:

there's a history of female reporters being targets of harassment in locker rooms that isn't usually followed by public sympathy for the player caught on camera doing the harassing if she presses charges.

the point is it shouldn't really matter if it's a man or a woman, they don't deserve to be sexually harassed or assaulted just for being there, and sympathy for the victim shouldn't be conditional on their gender or profession. this isn't a hot take :confused:

To ignore the same dynamics of oppression against black people vis a vis white cops is a really interesting take.

Like yeah. No one should be harassed but acting that all other things are equal is disingenuous.

That's a fair point, I just think it was strange that the profession had to change with the gender in your analogy. I might have said "would this be ok if it was a female cop?" and it's interesting that you didn't.

No yeah, let's argue power dynamics to make it justified to unwantedly touch someone else in a questionable way. We teach kids to keep their hands to themselves, what's complicated about this?

Because it was an example of something that literally happened relatively recently. It's not "let's change X and Y to make the worst possible contrast", it's "same poo poo happened to someone else".

Crack, generally speaking, has harsher penalties than powder cocaine despite the fact that a gram of crack necessarily has less active drug than a gram of powder.

It's entirely so police can continue to arrest black people for next to nothing and throw them into the prison slavery system.

Oklahoma of all places just got rid of their 6:1 crack/powder trafficking weight disparity and set both at the old weight for powder (28g)

The feds have made their disparity less, going from 100:1 to about 20:1 in 2010.

A Maryland police officer who fatally shot a handcuffed man in the front seat of a police cruiser will face a murder charge, the police chief said Tuesday.

This happened last night and the cop in question is already being charged - so at least there isn't even an attempt to make this go away.
