” West Side Story ”
When you’re a Cop,
You’re a Cop all the way
From your first Busted skull
To your last full days pay .
If you’re a Cop,
When the shit hits the fan,
You got bangers around,
You’re a Klan kinda man .
You’re never alone,
You’re never unprotected.
You only fight for your own—
When empathy’s expected,
Humanity gets disrespected!
Then you are set
With a capital $,
Which you’ll never forget
Your the first to get paid
When you’re a Cop,
You stay
A Cop !
When you’re a Cop,
You’re the top Dog around ,
You’re the gold-medal kid
With the heavyweight crown!
When you’re a Cop,
You swing at the littlest thing.
Little boy, you’re a man;
Little man, you’re a king!
The Cops are in gear,
Our Steroids are a tickin’ !
The Blacks’ll steer clear,
They know ev’ry Civilian
could be Our next victim .
Here come the Cops
Like a bat out of hell—
Someone gets in our way,
Someone gets sent to hell !
Here come the Cops ,
Little world, step aside,
Better go Quarantine ,
Better run, better hide!
We’re drawin’ the line,
So keep your opinions hidden!
We’re hangin’ a sign
Says “Freedom is Forbidden,”
And we ain’t kiddin’!
Here come the Cops-
Yeah! And we’re gonna beat
Every last Fuckin’ mutt
On the whole Fuckin’ street!
On the whole—!
Ever—!
Mother—!
Lovin’—!
Street!

The war on drugs creates a permanent adversarial relationship between Law Enforcement and Communities , especially Those communities of people of color . You can talk , but you can’t hide from the devastation and havoc that been unleashed on Black People under the camouflage of the war on drugs .
To paraphrase Dr. Cornel West : “ The war on drugs is the public face of Intolerance, Racism, and Class Warfare “

“The Damage Done” – Extended Remix : Needle and the Damage Done by Neil Young
I’ve seen the drug war and the damage done
On our young daughters and poor sons
It seems Emancipation not for all
not all , The damage done
I saw them no-knocking on a cellar door
SWAT locked and loaded ready for war
Killing our children’s for them a daily chore ,
Please no more , The Damage done
The drug war made this country very ill
Gave us OxyContin and that Fentanyl
The working class is how the prison and the graveyards fill
Oo Oo the damage done
Those in chronic pain will get no help
For them the pain meds stay up on the shelf
This war on drugs become this holocaust
A Nation that’s lost the final cost
That drugs are bad for you is probably true
Without them they’ll use another ruse to come for you
We all suffer for the privileged few
Ooh , ooh . Ooh !
I sing this story because I loved this man
I know that some of you wont understand
That People of color have a right to live and prosper too
In this land
I’ve seen the drug war and the damage done , a little part of it in everyone
Every injustice is like a setting sun

@John Elway Nah look at countries like Finland, they help prepare inmates to go back in the real world and help them learn skills. They’ve found that 4/5 released inmates end up assimilating back into society.

@John Elway
They said the same thing regarding drugs and just saying no. Now that it’s impacting specific people they want to put emphasis on recovery and mental health…it’s clear cut.

Tim Scott doesn’t even believe America is a racist country. This is a joke of a discussion.

Y’all should talk about China *reforming* Uyghur muslims.

@Insomniay0 predominantly black issue lol more unarmed white men are killed than black men Google it don’t believe what the mainstream tells you.
Luke Saier
July 17, 2021 at 10:11 pm
@Insomniay0 10% of the NBAs revenue comes from China. Not to mention Chinas vast connections to all the shoe companies who endorse all these athletes. The NBA actively works with the CCP and players like Lebron James who make money from China refuse to condone the countries genocide. That’s how it’s relevant.

@Erling Larsen Not relative to the population, take a stats class, genius.
Insomniay0
July 17, 2021 at 11:14 pm
@Luke Saier Why does the NBA have to do it? Why not Nike? Why not Apple? The majority of large American corporations depend on Chinese exports, hell, the whole American economy is dependent on China for cheap labor. It’s just funny to me when people complain about BLM being Marxist and then complain about the products of capitalism in the same breath.
Erling Larsen
July 17, 2021 at 11:23 pm
@Insomniay0 so because there is more white people than black it doesn’t matter that more unarmed white men get shot. Thats probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Like every country we all depend on Chinese crap but that’s irrelevant to what we are talking about .
Insomniay0
July 17, 2021 at 11:34 pm
@Erling Larsen You must not read your own comments or here yourself speak if that’s the dumbest thing you ever heard. Of course the percentages are relevant, unarmed black men get killed at a statistically significantly higher rate than unarmed white men. The NBA is comprised of predominantly black men. The whole of China (economy, politics, human rights) is absolutely 100% irrelevant to this whole discussion and video.

They need a gun and a badge so they can go out on the street to see how things really are.

You can thank the media for that. People let conservative and liberal media how to think and feel about people before they even see them which results in a lot of negative situations. That recurring fear is built up everyday with selective reporting and through echo chambers.

Nice, but could be better. Police reform, yes. Pay good cops MORE. Change the laws and protocol of how police are allowed to act among the public. These changes in law will not help one race more than another; all races need to not be brutalized by cops. No laws will be enacted that say cops can still beat up low-income whites, low-income greens, and low-income purples, but the cops will no longer smash blacks and browns. Laws don’t work that way. PAY GOOD COPS MORE. FORCE COPS TO USE NON-LETHAL FORCE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. WE NEED TO QUIT REWARDING OFFICERS WHO ESCALATE SITUATIONS. NO MORE QUOTAS.

I love how people go know nothing about policing think they know everything. They have never been police officers, who are they to say that they need reform?

Keep politics out of sports. The only justice is justice. Not social, not racial. Authority is from God and He is just.
