@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn I think it starts with talks like ours and ppl coming to understand each others perspectives. Then the next step is to call out the things that lead up to it as the other race. We hold ours accountable and diffuse and you guys do the same.
All valid points dude. and from a white perspective, it does seem like the negative overshadows things, to some extent. I don't know what the solution is though.. that's the real bitch about the situation. It's like a fk'd up cycle. That part about people either being "sweet" or "fk it/aggressive" is pretty spot on too.
@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn We often don’t get heard or cared about because the fatigue causes us to “crash out” feed into stereotypes and then ppl go “see”, “they deserve it”, “typical” etc. The good is overlooked and the bad is magnified
Interesting thought. I don't disagree with that man, but at some point people have to take responsibility for changing stereotypes. On that point, you think he responds more aggressive to people, partially *because*, he's been treated like he's violent and aggressive his whole life, whether not he actually is? So it becomes like, Fk it, of that's how I'm going to be treated one way or the other, might as well play the part? Kind of like how black woman walk around seemingly on offense with their attitude? (That's a good faith question - like to understand more about the "why" part of how people act)
@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn …at me and slurs thrown my way. I even got told by a cop that I was a drug dealer by the type of coat I had on. The only thing I can say is as long as he’s not giving into it and doing something illegal to go to jail? Then he should be allowed to be upset and speak
@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn Understand this because I’m apart of this community, although I’m light skinned. I don’t agree with how we handle things sometimes and resorting to the “F*** it” mentality is not what I agree with but I understand it. I used to have a big Afro as a kid and I had drinks thrown…
@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn …get kicked off for telling someone to move. Being looked at as a threat for just existing will make you react in different ways. Some ppl go overtly “sweet” to avoid confrontation and some get “angry” about the status quo and this is the latter.
@TroubleComingUP@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn Didn't say anything about arresting him bro, just that he was overly rude, aggressive, trying to intimidate people, just a whole lot of unneeded nonsense that just furthers stereotypes and makes life harder for black people. The efforts should be going in the other direction.
@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn That’s how “perception” works and when did we start arresting ppl for what we “think” they’re going to do without any real evidence?🤨
I was just making sure I was clear with what you were saying. It's weird how two different people can see the exact same thing, and have totally different takes on what they saw. His demeanor *was* threatening, his tone *was* threatening, his entire behavior was way out of line. He was like half a second from swinging on someone and everyone could see that, but you either don't see that or don't want to acknowledge it, again, probably for a variety of reasons. So, just means we see things different. Have a good one.
Twitter is a weird social experiment and this is a great example. 😂
🚨WHEN SHOULD POLICE STOP TALKING AND START ACTING?
A 12-year-old calls 911 asking for help. Officers arrive expecting to assist a child in trouble but the father answers the door enraged, shouting threats and saying he’ll “put the officer in the ground.”
Meanwhile the child who asked for help is still inside.
At what point does de-escalation end and force become necessary?
If an officer is being threatened while a child is in the home, should police keep trying to talk it out, or intervene immediately?

@NetworkDirecto1@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn Atp you don’t seem to care about what I said because I’ve stated it twice already for you. Or you lack comprehension. From what we saw? There’s a man upset, not touching anyone and complying while “voicing” frustration and you still don’t see that😂
@TroubleComingUP@Seekingtruth257@gecffmn So we were not able to see the original incident, just the aftermath and his behavior. Let's focus on the behavior that we were able to see, his entire demeanor, tone, body language, do you think that was threatening?
