Racism - Tribalism - Nationalism My team is great and yours stinks. It's a very natural way to be. Like the animals. That we are.
Don't blame the police for assuming it's a thug, if it walks like a thug, dresses like a thug and talks like a thug.
Although if "it" is dressed normally, walks normally, and hasn't said a word but just happens to be black . . .
Who racialized the various incidents that gave rise to the comments that so upset the OP? Conservatives, on here and elsewhere, have voiced concerns about police overuse of force, use of SWAT teams for minor arrests and growing militarization of police forces. The left ignored these valid issues and immediately leaped in with the race card. They didn't want justice or reason. They wanted show trials and public lynchings. Tribal "justice." When your argument is blatantly racial as opposed to rational, don't be surprised when people choose sides along racial lines.
