[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gman: [QB] Ok JeffK I will try to talk about this idea that the black community feels harassed by the police. This is a very tough question. I would have to say that yes the black community is being harassed in places by police. However, I don't feel that this happens, for the most part, because of any racial hatred. I know that there are racist cops out there and that is a problem that will not go away. What I don't agree with is the way the black community reacts to this pressure. Riots and beatings are not acceptable forms of outcry. They need to deal with this in a better way. There are many minority groups out there that don't riot when they are harassed or seem to be oppressed. I think a good example of this is actually the police. The police in itself is a minority group. Every day police are yelled at, spit at, threatened verbally, some are shot, some are beat and assaulted, yet they don't go running into the streets burning buildings and beating every person that looks like a criminal. You have to admit that police take the same kinds of abuse that the black community accuses them of. I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if they are harassed there are ways to deal with it. I'm not saying "buck up" and "have a stiff upper lip" they shouldn't have to, but they aren't alone in this idea of harassment. If they really want to change what is going on, maybe they should look at how their community treats the police and accept that this problem is a two way street. [/QB][/QUOTE]
