Here's what they really should be doing:

Start Snitchin'

Yes, that's right, become the eyes and ears of the police and get rid of all the gang elements in their (and our) neighbors.

Then join the Community Watch.

Then get in the police cruisers and become Citizen Police.

So, was there even a mention about the thousands of black people killed every year by other blacks due to the gang violence that plagues their communities? I'm going to guess the answer is a resounding 'no'.

Snitches get stitches.

Thanks for the article. And yes, NAAM is a Very important presence in increasingly gentrified Seattle. (Not every response to Mr Mudede's posts has to be a troll.) Maybe we should look at our neighbors as if they were (gasp) our neighbors! People we actually care about! Sorry, I'm going overboard here!

That particular folk etymology is generally understood as having no basis in reality.

Facts = still important.

@1 & 2, Hmmmmm once upon a time the problem was those fucking Italians, Damn Irish, don't get me started on the Jews, and fucking Christ those filthy Puerto Ricans danced on Broadway, fuck. Godless Dutch in New York, crazed Scotch Irish, n fucking 'A' the filthy Welsh in the mines. God have mercy will these hordes of savage thugs ever stop?

Jury Finds Texas Man Not Guilty in Shooting Death of Drunk Driver Who Killed Two Sons

A jury returned a verdict of not guilty today for a Texas father accused of the shooting death of a drunk driver who killed his two sons.

David Barajas was accused of fatally shooting 20-year-old Jose Banda in December 2012 after Banda plowed into a vehicle that Barajas and his two sons had been pushing on a rural road in Alvin, about 30 miles southeast of Houston.

And none of those groups suffered "benign neglect". Instead, they took over.

@8, wow, Jose Banda leaves Seattle Public Schools and is instantly thrust into the hard, rough life that is everything outside of Seattle.

Who would sign a petition to get SROTU banned from SLOG? I sure would.

"An unarmed black youth is killed and instead of investigating the police officer, the department besieges the neighborhood like an occupying army"

An unarmed with youth was killed by a black police officer around the same time. The police officer has not been arrested. It is true that the police department didn't besiege the neighborhood but then again a lynch mob didn't act in a way that required it. It happened in UT and his name was Dylan Taylor. Just like there was a stand your ground shooting of a white-Hispanic man (Daniel Adkins) by a black man (Cordell Jude Lamar) that happened at the same time as the Trayvon incident. We were told it was racist because if ZImmerman was black he would have been arrested, tried, convicted and executed within a week. Lamar was not arrested for over 3 months and only then when he killed someone else. He was allowed out on bail even when he committed more crimes while on bail. His trial was never even covered by the media. Racist whites thought black lives were worth 3/5 of a white persons. Racist blacks don't even place that much value on the lives of people murdered if it contradicts their victim complex industry mantras.

@13: Congratulations! You represent the phenomenon described by Mike Pesca in today's episode of The Gist! To summarize his point about this: Dillon Taylor's death does not coincide and demonstrate the over-policing of a white neighborhood by black police officers. Michael Brown's death does in fact coincide with the over-policing of a black neighborhood by white police officers. What's more, we care about Michael Brown's death because his whole community started protesting. It's not like he's the only black kid who's been killed by cops, but he's the only one to recently spark massive protests. If the protests hadn't happened, his family would be grieving and no one else would be paying attention. (Sad but true).

Moreover, there's a lesson from Dillon Taylor's death that neither you nor any other conservative seem to be keen on bringing up: the cops in this country are out of control. We need citizen review boards for complaints against police and we seriously need to change the way that they're recruited and trained. Go read some of the stories on Police State USA if you want to realize how ridiculous it's gotten. Did you know that the police in many places are sending in SWAT teams for search warrants? Sometimes they shoot your family dog, and sometimes they bully people while in plain clothes. Nevermind that they go around pointing their guns AT PEOPLE. I've never owned a gun, but I could've sworn that many gun-safety people recommend never pointing your gun at something that you do not intend to shoot.

typo: "An unarmed white youth..."

Y'all kill me, literally.

That bullshit black on black violence neglect chestnut. Is, again bullshit. You really think black folks don't notice their children are dying, and aren't trying to stop it? Save your breath, yes, of course you do.

We need to start snitching huh? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU SNITCH TO WHEN THE POLICE KILL YOUR CHILD? Ferguson PD get caught in a lie every goddamn day lately. This same department had officers charge a black man for "destruction of government property" because he bled on their uniforms while they beat their ass. Officer Darren Wilson was a part of a PD in another MO town that had so much racial tension with the mostly-black populace that the city council voted to fucking disband it, fire everybody, and start again! That was three years ago! What the fuck does snitching have to do with this situation, you heartless inhuman fucking hyena?

(These fucks gave Wilson's GoFundMe, which was secretly started by Ferguson PD, 400K! Almost a half mill! Why? He hasn't lost any pay! Literally all that those racist fucks contributing and commenting on his page calling him a hero and a martyr knew about him was that he was a white cop who'd killed an unarmed black teen. The bounty for black life since the days of the colonial slave patrols that birthed modern police has certainly improved!)

The point isn't that it's a white man who killed a black teen; it's that it was a white police officer, a working-class servant of the state and the power structure—which is itself overwhelmingly disproportionately white, and overwhelmingly disproportionately hostile to blacks—killing a black teen. Forrrr jaywalking. The stories in the wingnut media that Brown attacked him are fake and discredited. The disgusting comments from Ben Stein's fuck ass that Brown wasn't unarmed because "he was armed with his incredibly strong, scary self" reflect white America's fear of living black bodies.

I read about Dillon Taylor, and heard Killer Mike shout him out on CNN too—i and honor him, along with all the other names I've heard, because he was a young unarmed American who lost his life at the hand of the police. You ask where the outrage is, I ask you the same.

Where's the white outrage, the crowds of angry folks taking to the streets, angry at the police for Dillon? Maybe that would seem like kind of an aberration, certainly not a frequent and fucking cliche occurrence, so they figure he definitely had it coming, wearing those headphones, likely listening to rap music! Maybe they know that the act of protesting the way things work threatens to disenfranchise them, to rob them of the benefit they get from this infernal, hateful machine. I don't see white crowds out and angry in the US when they perceive that their way of life is threatened.

That is, unless they're protesting on the other side, in Ferguson and everywhere else, for Mike Brown, for the rights of all human beings—because most Americans, regardless of color, are getting sick of this shit, and that really does scare a lot of people. And it should, cuz it's they ass!

@11

They were never the property of white people

Indentured Servants

#16 where is the outrage indeed?

@17 Jesus wept. SHUT UP you ignorant fool.

JBITDMFOTP

@16 - Well said Larry, as usual.

@18 - Lol, Brietbart. Seriously? You might as well post a link to the weekly world news. "Batboy killed by violent [black! black! black!] thugs!"

Sorry my @18 was directed to the racist shit Lew Siffer @19.

@22 Fear not. The unregistered @18 is also a racist shit.

@19 dude. The police are already correcting that story. The real story is drunk guy starts fight, loses said fight, to save face concoctes a story.

You want this to be a place for real discussion? Ban the rascist trolls. Its time to cull the herd.

God is an American.
Gun is God.
There is no other God but Gun.
Gun blesses us.
Gun bless the United States of America.

Can think of few things more futile than engaging with a white supremacist who can't/won't tell the difference between a few years of indentured servitude and the generation-spanning, spirit crushing, family destroying brutality of chattel slavery.

"heartless inhuman fucking hyena"

BODIED

as a pretty square mainstream merican, i join the prevailing disgust at the "what about black on black crime?" meme. there r already mechanisms for punishing and pacifying gangstas. the US has been successful in reducing murder rates over the last few decades. we r alarmed about police behavior bcause no comparable mechanism for restraining cops is apparent, to us.

i accept injust cops. but i want cops to keep the peace, and provoking riots and revolutionary sentiments is not what i have in mind.
