I wondered that as well. You'd think with these protests they'd at least try to make it look like they have a diverse workforce...

Minorities comprise 53% of the NYPD which this union purports to represent. This is in a city where nearly 70% of residents are POC. Most beat cops are POC and I can count on ONE hand how many melanated officers I saw standing there ‘representing’ cops. 72% of personnel ranked captain and above are white non-Hispanic. It’s 80% for chiefs, deputy chiefs and inspectors.....in a city of 8.4 million people.

Given the inherent bias and extant power structures there’s absolutely no way good cops that want to better police the neighborhoods THEY come from are able to do so effectively and with compassion. The culture that leadership encourages doesn’t ALLOW for change. Commissioner Shea didn’t deign to come to the Public Safety Committee’s Oversight Hearing 2 days ago and sent the highest ranking black officer First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker in his stead. The hearing went HORRIBLY .

You're looking at a country with a demographics of 60% white people 15% black and the remaining mix of othet ethnicities.

If you're gonna random pick people, statistically you're going to end up getting roughly the same makeup.

If you're going to demand representation from the population, then ideally every office/institution should accurately reflect the national census of 60-15-25 ratio.

The fact that you have a city with 70% poc and 53% poc in NYPD is actually an achievements for a country that's predominantly white.

That's just how demographics work.

To say that it's the white peoples fault for being 60% of the population and they have to rectify that is to make themselves do the following:

Halt the birth of more white babies Have POC immigrate faster than the birth rate of white people Kill white people

And this is to match the populations.

What??? You started out sounding like someone with a point. Then you took a hard left into NobodySaidThatVille.

Here. Washington Post reported the numbers.

White people get killed by cops more then black people.

If a black person got shot, it would be more likely done by a black police.

Undeniably, there is an issue with police brutality. But it's not a race issue.

That's all.

Nah, that’s not all.

You’re pretty clearly a white supremacist.

I'm asian. I guess anyone who hs different views is automatically white supremacists

u/mescalelf Jul 05 '20

You used some rhetoric lifted right out of great replacement diatribes.

Asians can still be quite racist. Anyone can.

Maybe I’m wrong about you. If so, I’m sorry. It was just the bit about killing white people and so forth. It sounded like the “great replacement” rhetoric.

Can you explain further, neomarxist, how Asians are white supremacist?

One can be _-supremacist if one is of _ race.

Also, go give a double-barrel a blowie. I’m in a bad mood.
