Black Officer Addresses BLM Movement

[Peteyandjia]

I woke up every morning, put my freshly pressed uniform on, shined my badge, functioned checked my weapon, kissed my wife and kid, and waited for my wife to say the same thing she always does before I leave, “Make sure you come back home to us”. I always replied, “I will”, but the truth was I was never sure if I would. I almost lost my life on this job, and every call, every stop, every moment that I had this uniform on, was another possibility for me to almost lose my life again. I was a target in the very community I swore to protect, the very community I wanted to help. As a matter of fact, they hated my very presence. They called me “Uncle Tom”, and “wanna be white boy”, and I couldn’t understand why. My own fellow black men and women attacking me, wishing for my death, wishing for the death of my family. I was so confused, so torn, I couldn’t understand why my own black people would turn against me, when every time they called …I was there. Every time someone died….I was there. Every time they were going through one of the worst moments in their lives…I was there. So why was I the enemy? I dove deep into that question…Why was I the enemy? Then my realization became clearer.

Thanks for posting this...

Great read thus far...

Hopefully the cop hating assholes here give it a read...

And fuck you guys btw.

The comments said by the Black Dallas police chief were also good. But the Huffington post and other far left liberal outlets won't report this stuff as it doesnt fit their narrative.

 

[ripskater]

This black officer asks why his own community turns on him? Because the black community has a major problem. And nobody can fix it unless the black community makes a change itself. And I'm not talking about every black person.

If you get a chance, could you link an article to this some time?

did this [really] deserve its own thread? the cop sounded uninformed, and the 'complaints' -- some of which are in improper english (a commonly used device . . . ) -- are tailored for himself. there was no real digging, no real research.

merge this with @sodapopinski thread.

There is a huge gap here between perceived risk and actual.


The 10 Deadliest Jobs: Deaths per 100,000


1. Logging workers: 128.8
2. Fishers and related fishing workers: 117
3. Aircraft pilot and flight engineers: 53.4
4. Roofers: 40.5
5. Structural iron and steel workers: 37
6. Refuse and recyclable material collectors: 27.1
7. Electrical power-line installers and repairers: 23
8. Drivers/sales workers and truck drivers: 22.1
9. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers: 21.3
10. Construction laborers: 17.4

Out of approximately one million police and law enforcement personnel, with 126 deaths per year, the death rate for police is 12.6 per hundred thousand.

The most dangerous job in the U.S. is being president. Eight out of 44 presidents died in office, about 18 percent. Four were assassinated, just over 9 percent.

Most policemen killed on the job die in accidents (mostly auto), not from firearm assault, according to the FBI.

Data released by the FBI on Monday shows that 2015 was one of the safest years for U.S. law enforcement in recorded history, following a sustained trend of low numbers of on-duty deaths in recent decades.

nothing nobody doesn't know.

How many police would be dead or injured if they didn't protect themselves the way they do?

The category should not be "US law enforcement." It should be "big city law enforcement". That is where the serious danger is right now with all the violence. And those law officers are much higher on the list of dangerous jobs right now with BLM blocking traffic and attacking cops.

Show the numbers. In my first link, it says most of the 126 deaths per a year are auto accidents. Just driving around in a car is the biggest killer.

"Of the 76 cops who died in the line of duty in 2013, 18 of them were from gunfire. The rest were traffic fatalities or slips and falls."

I made a thread on another black guy saying something similar earlier.
http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/what-is-meant-to-be-the-point-of-racism.3289623/

Fabrication of racial tension has harmed the black community so much more than anything "systemic racism" could ever hope to do. Now these asshole dishonestly report things to create an adversarial relationship between black people and the rest of society. We've seen the disastrous results of this phony adversity, and still other groups are trying to join in and do the same. It's down to women claiming mistreatment FFS, when women in this society are treated better than any group has ever been treated in the history of humanity.

They need hero's and not the kinds that are good at sports or make money rapping and glorifying the hood culture. They need parents who come home from work exhausted and still manage to find the energy to play catch or read a book and make sure they did their homework.

 

[voxom]

sigh. so now we are trying to pretend that the most dangerous part of the cops job is driving, and not the fact they deal with often violent criminals every single day.

maybe it's the fact they approach each person they talk to with extreme caution as to why they aren't being shot/stabbed/bludgeoned to death as much as they get in car accidents.

and of course, since they take such extreme caution people will try to twist it and say that means the risk of their job is just a "perceived risk".

nope, their job is very risky, and they take extra precautions to try to make it as safe as possible when doing it. t's not a "perceived risk", an actual risk that they take a lot of measures to make as safe as possible




ps. more people die annually by falling out of bed than they do by shark attacks, therefore sharks aren't as dangerous as beds, right.

Would you mind telling that to BLM who think black people are gonna be murdered by any cop that pulls them over?
