The firemen point is non-applicable, as confronting people for photographs, whether right or wrong isn't even a part of their job.That's the point, the act of confronting people for taking photographs when it's perfectly legal to do so feeds the impression that they're thugs, even if nothing comes of it. When people take pictures of firefighters responding, do firefighters try to stop you (unless you're obstructing them)? And not all of the unarmed people who died from police encounters were going psycho. IMO, if they were known mental cases the outcry would not be so bad. Personally, I give police credit for running TOWARDS danger while the majority of us are running FROM it. There are many people paid the same or more than them who don't have to do that. So, is it PERFECTLY OK to stereotype the police on subchat BUT not the thugs who just happen to be black? You can't have a double standard. On subchat, probably not. On OTchat? There are people whose shticks revolve around double standards. :-) |
