The cops in this movie are exactly like the real life cops today


Not all of them, but lots.

Especially if you are black.

reply

That's utter nonsense.

reply

Not even close, bashing the people who will put their lives on the line to save your life is not solving any problems

reply

Black people are about 500 times more likely to be killed by another black person than they are a cop. That might a very conservative number. Especially in the past year.

reply

Actually, a black person in America is 14.5x more likely to be killed by another black person than by police.

And a white person in America is 13.3x more likely to be killed by another white person than by police. So about the same

2021 statistics: 2574 black people murdered by other black people, 177 killed by police. 14.5x more likely to be killed by a black person than by police.

white people: 2599 murdered by white people, 302 killed by police. 13.3 times more likely to be killed by a white prison than by police.

You're a fucking moron!

I think you need to know something. This movie takes place in the 1950s and everything said by Dudley Smith to Exley at the beginning of the film was considered okay. As a cop you actually could beat info out of a suspect if you thought he was guilty. You could shoot a criminal in the back to insure he doesn't get off from a crime you knew he committed. You could plant evidence on a suspect you knew to be guilty. It wasn't until 1968 that the rights we have now to an attorney and not talking to the cops about anything came about.

1, 2 Freddy's coming for you. 3, 4 better lock your door.

reply

A cop in 1953 might have more of a chance of getting away with shooting a suspect, but it was certainly never official policy, or legal, prior to 1968 or any other time.

reply

Eat a shit sandwich, please. You buttholes who bash the police continue to be the biggest irritant in society!

reply

I would say very few cops are like the ones depicted in this film. Cops like Chauvin are almost impossible to find. But that won't stop liberals from saying we have systemic racism throughout the police. It helps them raise a lot of money. It panders to the black vote.
In one of the more stunning lies in recent political history, the Dems then claimed it was the Republicans wanted to defund the police. After they spent the better part of the last year running on defunding the police. The Democrat City Council in Minneapolis literally voted to get rid of the police.

reply

You have a conservative on here I wrote a post about because he is a nazi saying how white people shouldn't breed with blacks because it will lower their iq and they are criminals.

and no conservative would criticize them. the only conservatives who chimed in defended him

and you act confused people say there is rampant racism?

reply

I am not confused at all. There is racism in America. It is now almost entirely directed at white people. It's largely ignored.

You can say anything negative about white people. All you want. All day, every day.

But better not do that to black people. Oh, I'm sorry, it is now Black people. We have to capitalize it now. Respect.

Liberals are scared to admit black people even commit crimes. Not entirely true. The crime of being a black Republican is a crime against their own race.

reply

hahahah got any stats to back this up? hot tip one black guy calling you a cracker isn't statistics.



"But better not do that to black people. Oh, I'm sorry, it is now Black people. We have to capitalize it now. Respect. "

hahahah aww the victim here. yes you cannot say "black people are subhuman and criminals". you an though!! I literally made a post here about Overton doing that very thing! and as I said, NOT A SINGLE conservative here criticized him and multiple defended him. so try again!

reply

There is nothing to try. Racism exists in America and it's mostly against white people. Period. You'd have to be blind not to see it.

reply

lol keep being the victim little soy boy. multiple studies show otherwise! Fox News has infected your brain!

reply

It's the truth. Black people denigrate white people all the time, on tv and in films and any public place, in schools, everywhere, and they largely get away with it. A black man can punch and kill a white man and see no prison time, even with plenty of eyewitnesses. That's the truth in America 2022. Black people can burn buildings to the ground, assault and kill people and it's called 'mostly peaceful'.

You want equality? Real equality? First thing you should be against is affirmative action. It is not by accident America's academic standing in the world has decreased since its implementation.

reply

LOl you mean the guy who said the N word, got hit and fell and died by accident? WOW you sure are reaching!

you are a permanent full time victim.

reply

Yeah, a young black man punched an elderly white man and he ended up dying because of it. If I did that to an elderly black man I would be seeing about ten years in prison. He won't see any.

black privilege.

reply

lol no play dumb games win dumb prizes. provide someone by being a racist POS, black or white, you may get hit. and you may fall and die.

zero sympathy

HAHAHAH yaa man when will white people finally have power and a good life in america! its always been black people in charge and gaining all the wealth and having all the power!

you are a fucking clown

reply

You mean it's appropriate to kill someone if they use a racial slur?

reply

the death was an accident. but it is appropriate to expect a reaction if you get in someone's face and use language like that there may be a physical reaction. anyone would. you are on the street and a guy starts saying one of the most offensive things, you will likely get as reaction

Cook was a regular there, and despite employees asking him to leave, Cook parked and started arguing with Pujols inside the store. he called him the N word. was told not to, and used it again. he hit him once and the fall killed him. he didn't mercilessly beat the man. it was one hit with an unforeseen consequence.

I mean maybe you are a pussy, but if someone was doing that to me I may swing. although hearing too many stories like this (a skull fracture from a fall of a hit killing the person), I may be physical in other ways.

also good to know you are mourning a convicted pedophile though.

reply

He didn't accidentally punch him. He did it on purpose. He is therefore fully responsible for whatever happens, including death. But his black privilege is so powerful that he will never have to go to prison. Even when he does it again. And he will do it again. Why not? Look how easy he got off this time.

reply

quotation please where I said he "accidentally punched him"

yes and I purposely drove today, that doesn't make me responsible for anything and everything that happens, there are always extenuating circumstances. its literally why we have different charges based on intent.

Nooooo the situation is that which other factors are considered.

hes 23, with no criminal record at all. but you are sooooooooo obsessed with being the victim you cant help it. your obsession with minorities and perceived black privilege is laughable.

yaa man when will white people finally get power in America!!!! blacks have always been in charge, make all the money, make up all the politicians ect! about time we rose up!!!!I am guessing you are old and overweight? you feel powerless so all you do is comment on here mad you lost your privilege and you cant go around calling black people the N word anymore?

gotta love all that black privilege. all those videos of those black people approached and questioned by police for doing such horrible things as sitting, waiting and one even was cleaning up trash in his community

reply

I am obsessed with justice. He didn't get it because he is black. Period.

Black privilege is very real today. And dangerous.

And it's gonna get a whole lot worse, too.

reply

these things have happened before. having a good enough reason have gotten white people off as well

no you are obsessed with the fact you dont have a special position over others anymore. you feel threatened by that

reply

That's the kind of logic that will keep black people committing violent crimes for a long long time. When you let someone get away with something, not only does that person pay attention to it and will likely do something like it again, but others do, too.
Have you noticed all the violent crimes in the past several years? The random ones? The majority of them are committed by black people.
The black guy who walked up to an elderly Asian woman and beat her in the back of her head with a bat. Random.
The black guy who walked into a store and knifed a woman to death. Random.
The black guy who murdered another woman at her place of work. Random.
The black guy who followed an Asian woman to her home and knifed her to death. Random.
The black guy who threw a woman onto the track to be killed by a train. Random.
The black guy who beat a nurse to death. Random.
Not once did Al Sharpton call for a national discussion. I doubt he mentioned any of them at all.
See? There is a very serious black problem in America. And because America gives them so much latitude, it will only get worse.
And who pays the most? The poor black neighborhoods, who now have to do with less police protection.
Started with Ferguson. But that insanity was mere prelude to George Floyd. St. George Floyd.

reply

LOL "here are random black crime anecdotes" see how violent they are.

should I comprise my list of violent white crime anecdotes?

you are obsessed with it man. you need to seek mental health services.

you count all the evidence that pushes your victim black narrative, and ignore all the counter evidence or identical evidence of white people doing the same,. seek mental health services old man

reply

Those are just a few in the past few months. The sheer volume of crimes by black people is astronomical. I'm not even counting the number of times they go into the local Walgreens and take whatever they want and just walkout without paying. How many Walgreens have had to shut down? Mostly in these poor black neighborhoods? And who does that hurt? And yet you will never address it. Because it's racist to admit black people do anything wrong. Again, that's black privilege.

reply

yes poor people; commit more crimes of all sorts! wow you solved it Sherlock!!

you don't think I can compile a list of white people doing the same? this is your problem. you count one stack and say "see evidence!!" and refuse to count there other stack.

you are obsessed and unhealthy

reply

I merely stated facts. The solution is well beyond what America is willing to do. And far far beyond what the black community is willing to admit and take responsibility for, since they blame every single thing on white people.

reply

yes agree America will never address poverty for real. corporations need uneducated poor people to work at mimic wage. the wealthy and powerful will contuse through legalized bribery to buy politicians and rig the system in their favour.

you never wonder why the USA doesn't even rank in the top 15 when it comes to economic mobility?

reply

The only thing I agree with is that black people commit a massively disproportionate number of violent crimes.

reply

yes poor people do.

how many millionaires do car jackings, sell weed or bait of coke, do break and enters ect?

reply

No. There are more white poor people than anyone else. But black people still commit violent crimes several times more frequently.

reply

If that was true, I think we would see more killings to be honest.

There are millions upon millions of interactions with police that happen ever year and it's actually quite rare when one ends in a killing. You've just been fed media propaganda and think it's something that happens all the time like what you see in this movie. It's alright, a lot of people have been tricked by the media when it comes to this topic, so you are not alone in this.

reply

Agreed, very realistic depiction of the police.

reply

There were lots of cops in this movie doing lots of things.

What an epically stupid post.

reply

You mean having to deal w stupid fucking people, lied to by morons, and raise other peoples piece of shit kids. Yes, then cops in this movie and exactly like cops today.
