Lol. Sure I'm gonna trust a website with messages on the screen from fake girls and constant pop ups.

The video is the video. Either he said it or he didn't.

Having watched it, it's textbook Joe Biden.

There are legitimate issues driving Black Lives Matter. It is shocking, however, that a movement that claims to be "anti-racist" is promoting a man who has so many times demonstrated a thorough racism within him. There are some statements which have a sense that the hearer is being too sensitive in calling out the race card. This is not one of them. This statement is actually a textbook example of precisely the ingrained racism that BLM claims to stand against.

Trump's a racist. Okay. There's plenty of evidence there. Fine. But Biden is also every bit the racist Trump is. It's not subtle. Yet BLM is promoting him as the solution? There is a very serious disconnect here which is part of why BLM is rapidly fading from glory.

BLM is done, they fucked up. There's a legitimate issue but because BLM only wanted to be about their particular group and the way they handled it, people are alienated and nothing is going to change. They really fucked this up.

And it's not just a theoretical issue, next time the cops have a "consensual" gangbang with a 17yr old in cuffs that could be your daughter, or mine. Next time they shoot an unarmed man --of any race-- it could be us, next time they phony up charges ... you get the point.

We had a shot, and they blew it. Now we've got to wait until it happens to a black person again, media doesn't care if they aren't black, and start the whole stupid thing over again because the cops are too goddamned ignorant to learn they can't go around pulling this shit like it's still the 90s and nobody has cameras or social media.

Well said. You nailed the heart of the problem: rather than talk about police brutality, militarization, and under-accountability, the media hyped a story about race. Policing issues are not about race. The statistics are clear. Does that mean there's not a problem? Not at all. But it means the problem was not and is not racism; it's abuse of authority.

I would disagree with you though in generalizing all abuses to all police. While some issues do seem to be universal to the institution (the militarization of equipment and tactics, for example), when it comes to the true individual abuses, such as the hypothetical rape you describe, I still believe that represents a small minority of officers. I hope I am not naive in that belief. I do agree that the majority of officers need to be condemned for the way they close ranks in protection when one of their number is called out for evil behavior. That has to stop.
