Doctornick | 419 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 1 minute ago, Estil said: Too bad BLM recklessly disregards that notion...they don't even bother finding out what really happened...they just automatically presume not just mere guilt, but presumed racist. Darren Wilson and the Duke Lacross players are the most perfect example I can think of why presumption of innocence (or at the very least, take the time to find out what really happened!) before presuming a white person accused of doing something wrong to a black person must be presumed guilty of a racist HATE crime as the BLM types do. I too Cody, hold the right to presumption of innocence just as near and dear as you do...even if the reasons I feel that way differ somewhat.. You're speaking like BLM is an individual, I'd be willing to bet 90% of them agree with you on innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The media however doesn't care at all and will destroy your life without factual evidence (that's something that needs fixed) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So getting pulled over, police smelling weed and asking the driver to step out and search the vehicle automatically equals racial profiling. No way for the driver to just say "I don't have weed, go ahead and search my vehicle"? If the police are wrong, let them prove themselves wrong. Standing your ground and forcing them to remove you from the vehicle doesn't really help you in that interaction. He'd have a much better case if he was taken to jail after willingly exiting the vehicle and letting them search for weed that wasn't present. Hypothetically, if the officer was black, would you feel the same way? Or if the driver was white? Race doesn't matter in this situation, no matter how much you think it does. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if your thought was, "well if he were white, he wouldn't have been pulled over, or asked to step out of the vehicle" - because after all, that's white privilege) I can link you to at least 3 videos of cops caught on camera planting drugs while searching a car. If you're trying to prove that there are crooked cops, I agree. Never said there weren't any and that doesn't mean that it would happen more often than not in the scenario above. Unless you're implying that planting drugs is another method of "systemic racism" against minorities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cops found to be acting in self defense after investigation, yet Michael Brown is still labeled as an unarmed victim and is used as evidence of racism in police....read that over and over again until it clicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
