Do you know what bothers me the most with all of this police violence toward people of color and African-Americans in particular?
The (“copologists”) do…
If only he followed the officer’s command. If only he stopped moving. If only he stopped walking. If only he stopped talking.
If only he rolled over. If only he did not rollover. If only he stopped breathing. It never stops.
The white-splaining coupled with cop-splaining has become so nauseating that I summarily dismiss any white person’s perspectives on police violence, and that’s not fair because not all white people are racist jackasses.
The idea from these ignoramuses who make excuses for the white race soldiers, is that police are only violent because the victims of their violence make them commit violence on them by not bowing down in complete fealty to the people they hire to keep them safe.
Nowhere else in a democratic society are the servants’ overlords over the taxpaying citizens except in the United States. Nowhere else in a civilized society are police allowed to operate as American cops operate as race soldiers against the citizens who hire them.
The sad reality is that the acts of savagery that police commit against people of color and, in some cases, poor whites far exceed what the American society would tolerate against a dog, cat, or any other animal.
And so we must confront the seminal question of ‘why are white Americans so tolerant of police violence against Black people?

NO NEED FOR RESPECT
Michael Vick was sentenced to prison for allowing dogs to fight. Vick himself was not intimately involved; nevertheless, he was convicted and sent to prison.
Now, as a co-owner with my wife of our beautiful Lab-Mix Bud, I cannot imagine ever kicking Bud under any circumstances. I can’t even bear the thought of stepping on his tail by accident.
Why then would a police officer kick a human being? Why would a police officer kick another human being as officers in Miami Beach, Florida, and Orangeburg, South Carolina, do it anyway?
But the so-called police officers who kick and otherwise physically assault Black people, repugnant though they are, pale in comparison to the repugnant savages who get on social media to give succor and support to their repugnant attacks on oftentimes handcuffed, unarmed and helpless people.
When pressed by the (lame stream media), people like Kamala Harris claim that America is not a racist country out of political expediency. They need to check that lie at the door and spend a few minutes on social media platforms and read the comments coming from the savage creatures who dwell in the deepest darkest recesses of the dark web.
There is no redemption for those creatures; there is no reasoning with them; their souls are of another world.
They are the imbeciles who stormed the Capitol on January 6th2021. They are those who support those imbeciles. They are the ones who believed Donald Trump’s lie that he won the elections of 2020. —-In that bunch, there is not a single one of those racist creatures who would not relish seeing the extinction of the entire Black race and sees the police as the means to get to that outcome.
On March 6, 1857, the United States Supreme Court in a 7 – 2 decision, ruled that an enslaved man who had lived in a free State and Territory where slavery was prohibited was not entitled to freedom; that African ‑Americans were not, and could never be citizens of the United States.
That the Missouri compromise of (1820) which declared free all territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36º30,’
was unconstitutional.
That supreme court decision added fuel to the sectional controversy and pushed the country closer to civil war.
That supreme court ruling was the decision that would become known as the Dred Scott decision.
According to (Britannica)The court’s decision in Scott v Sanford was widely panned by Constitutional scholars and was widely considered to be the worst decision ever rendered by the supreme court >
In particular, it was cited as the most egregious example in the court’s history of wrongly imposing a judicial solution on a political problem.
A later chief justice Charles Evans Hughes famously characterized the Dred Scott decision as the court’s great self-inflicted wound.
Those constitutional scholars and the late Charles Evans Hughes must be turning in their graves at what the John Roberts court has done to this nations’ stability in the Shelby county Alabama Versus Holder decision in 2013..
The Dred Scott decision was argued to have pushed the country closer to the civil war, which began on April 12, 1861, resulting in the loss of approximately 750,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilians.
At the risk of getting too nerdy, I pull back, sufficing to say that the Dred Scott decision still guides police actions today. The average cop today is generally a guy or girl that did not do too well in school.
I know we have heard that in another locality; this time, it is true. There are no shortages of opportunities in the United States for white people.
The average white cop was a failure in school who gravitated to law enforcement to show that they are somebody.
I was shocked to see one department right here in New York showcasing on their social media page officers who were arrested and convicted several times and were still allowed to become police officers.
Police officers still believe that they have no duty to respectful of African-Americans and the courts have seldom di=one anything to dissuade them from that attitude.
If the Dred Scott decision pushed the country closer to the civil war, I wonder what Shelby County Alabama v Holder did?
Oh, wait-we have already begun to see. They stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, and with no real consequences for Trump and his white nationalist army, this is just the beginning.
I hope the Roberts court is pleased with its work.
At this point, never mind the court’s doctrine of qualified immunity.
