    It is not because of their uniforms, it is because they don't have the same energy of serving the black community like they do the white community.

    Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

    I’ve never heard of a widespread issue of firefighters not having the same energy of serving black communities as white communities. Are you saying firefighters take their time going to calls in black communities? Do firefighters not use as many hoses on a fire as they would for a white person? Could you be so kind as to provide factual data backing up your claim?

    That's a pretty serious claim. Do you have any evidence to support it?

    Yes. I have heard from Ice Cube and Al Sharpton saying that firefighters slow down response in black neighborhoods.

    Defund the police then, what's the big hold up? Democrats control the budgets of every big city in the US.

    So use sweeping generalization fallacies like you just did? Isn't that what racists do?

    Underestimate Ice Cube at your own peril.

    Most major cities that I have been in a have a fair representation of black police officers on their force and have had for years now.

    Baseless accusation. You'll of course provide exactly zero evidence of this. No real discussion will be had.

    Pot....Kettle.

    It's well known how blacks, in general, treat police.

    I love how they ignore that 12% of police ARE black.

    The OP post is like most libs -- they just make up things. It defies logic and common sense to believe the false point the OP is making. But thank God we have free speech.

    Generalizations are often wrong.

    They hate the police and FD? Are you speaking for yourself, or the entire black community?

    It appears that most blacks are satisfied with their police protection. About the same amount would like more protection that would like less protection.
    "The survey, conducted June 23 – July 6, showed 61 percent of black Americans supported police spending the same about of time in their neighborhoods while 20 percent wanted law enforcement to spend more time in their streets. Nineteen percent said police should spend less time in their community."

    That's not a bad policy at all. However, the black population in 2020, which constitutes 13% of our population- committed a couple thousand more murders than all the non-white populations combined, which is 87%.

    Do you suppose they are just treating people the way they want to be treated?

    Wow. Ice Cube, AND Al Sharpton? That's a 1 - 2 punch of facts that can't be ignored. I'm totally onboard. Which Starbucks are we burning down first? That's how we do things now, right?

    not sure if it happens in reality, but think that came from this story

    Are you claiming that Republicans defunded the police and elected Soros prosecutors that combined to cause the explosion of violent crimes by repeat offenders in blue cities and states?

    Good cops who turn a blind eye to the bad cops are just as bad as the bad cops.

    I moved to an all Black, inner-city neighborhood and lived there without incident for 20 years except for Black on Black crime. I bought in that neighborhood because it was the only property I could afford to buy.
    Precisely because I treated my neighbors as I would like to have been treated, I had no problems and the only time I had anything stolen was by White construction workers who were helping me with renovations.

    The house I bought was a duplex. The downstairs was vacant and an elderly Black lady who was a widow lived upstairs and had been living there for 40 years. I refused to throw her out for higher paying tenants or raise her rent as my more business savvy friends had suggested and I suspect that one of the reasons I was treated so well by my neighbors is because of the way I treated Mrs. B. (the upstairs tenant).

    After I got married, my wife and I bought her grandparents' old farmhouse in the country but I will never forget that there is no reason that people of different backgrounds can't benefit when you treat people the way you would want to be treated.

    That is a complete BS lie. But let’s pretend that they did. Why in hell would anyone want to help a community that twerks on ambulances while helping a shooting victim? Why in the hell would anyone want to help a community that burns itself down with riots in the street?

    blacks deal with cops at higher rates because they commit higher rates of crime. If you want to be treated fairly I suggest the blacks should change their violent culture.
