How dare you speak sense.

I blame the ****ing awkward furniture used in American schools.

Um tbh I used to get annoyed when I logged into tumblr and saw all the posts about how officers only attack black people which is not true, but after seeing some videos of these attacks some of them are really shocking.

And it's surprising how most if not all the videos come from the usa.

But where are all of the videos of white people being thrown about?

Not reverse racism?

No-one feels the need to record white people being restrained because it's not something they feel the need to complain about

Reverse racism doesn't exists, that's like gay people can make homophobic comments about straight people

Literally watch cops, traffic heros or any of these non biased shows you get on TV.

You'll never see it happen to white people on the Internet, because apparently only POC are ever treated badly (by anyone)

White people can be and are racially abused but its seen as acceptable so nobody takes note

I'm not targeting all the cops in the entire world?

The cop was OTT, he shouldn't have done what he did, she just refused to leave a classroom which is nothing bad, she didn't give him a reason to do that.

idk what you mean or how this relates to my post but drag it

Well that's not really a valid comparison is it?

The term "homophobic" is specifically about "homosexuals".
Racism is a broad term and can affect any race, not just someone with dark skin.

She was under arrest. Is he supposed to stand their and wait for her to finish her tantrum or do his job?

It wasn't hard to understand

They are other ways of getting her out, she may have been under arrest but she didn't do anything wrong to make the police wrestle her down. I've only seen cops get violent in dangerous situations.

it didn't relate to what i said tho

Well it depends what she was under arrest for. :think:

If she'd just murdered a dinner lady then all the power to him.

I'd like to see what happened in the 30 minutes preceding that video.

It did (joy)

I just knew before I clicked on the thread that the girl would be black. Just one more case to add to the mountain of incidents involving police brutality towards black people.

She wasn't physically resisting him, the police officer was completely in the wrong.

Now, is that because there is a problem with black people being targeted or the internet is obsessed with violence against black people?

Neither, it's because there is video evidence of officers not adhering to procedure and abusing people.

Probably more to do with the fact that nearly all cases of police brutality that come to light involve black victims. There's been so many over the past few years in particular that it's hard to deny that it's a valid problem.

But she just sat there, she didn't even attack him for them to wrestle her down.. He took advantage of his job...

But as Livia said, we only saw a 30 second clip.

He might have been stood trying to remove her from the room for half an hour beforehand.

It's like on Big Brother, how differently we perceive situations depending on how heavily it's been edited. I'm sure you could edit a tonne of footage to make it appear for 30 seconds that Helen Wood was victimised every night during BB15. But we know this wasn't the case. :laugh:
