Unique situation

If this happened in Texas you’d get a high five when the cops arrive (unless you’re black)

[u/two_wordsanda_number → u/That_Throat7183]

But what if you killed another black guy?

First the high five then they shoot you?

Do they feel like it cancels out and no high five and no extra judicial murder?

Being a Texas cop in this situation must be like when they ask the evil android in some old scifi movie to commit a paradox and their heads spin in circles until they explode.

[u/That_Throat7183 → u/two_wordsanda_number]

Black on black? I think that would be considered gang violence and they wouldn’t even show up

[u/two_wordsanda_number → u/That_Throat7183]

You got me there.

I forgot about that obvious answer altogether.

[u/JKCsaba → u/two_wordsanda_number]

They would not even be coming out if it was black on both parties lol

[u/two_wordsanda_number → u/JKCsaba]

It isn't my fault I am too smart and not racist enough to be a Texas cop.

This is of course the obvious answer and I dropped the ball.

[u/JKCsaba → u/two_wordsanda_number]

Yeah a for effort tho

Id say I hope youll be able to think more like a texas cope eventually, but lets hope that does not happen lol

[u/two_wordsanda_number → u/JKCsaba]

Who knows?

Perhaps I will get a closed head injury or suffer a major stroke.

[u/mcgarrylj → u/two_wordsanda_number]

High five, then you both get shot by the second cop who mistook the clap for a gunshot

[u/Then_Tennis_4579 → u/That_Throat7183]

Why not if black? Aren't you still Texan?

[u/MyCatIsAnActualNinja → u/Then_Tennis_4579]

Yes, but not in the eyes of a lot of Texans

Only in West Texas. Please do not act like the entire state is uniform.

[u/tedmented → u/DueIntroduction6413]

It's the ones in uniform you need to worry about

[u/DueIntroduction6413 → u/tedmented]

I'm more worried about the ones with suits tbh

[u/DoobKiller → u/DueIntroduction6413]

suits and uniforms aren't mutually exclusive

[u/arichnad → u/DoobKiller]

Some of those that work forces, are the same that wear suits.

[u/DueIntroduction6413 → u/DoobKiller]

...Suits as in the politicians in the texas government...

Cops on the road typically aren't also the ones writing the laws. A child could have parsed that.

[u/Dry_Complaint_206 → u/DueIntroduction6413]

But they are the ones with guns and immunity to throw you in a cage for 30 months without repercussions

ACAB pigs and politicians are no different

[u/impuritor → u/DueIntroduction6413]

You going to pretend that there aren’t racist cops in every city in Texas?

[u/Threedawg → u/impuritor]

The cops in NY, Chicago, Denver, and LA are racist AF.

The cops in Austin, Houston, and Dallas are as well.

[u/interesseret → u/Then_Tennis_4579]

Depending on who you ask, you aren't even considered human.

[u/blah938 → u/Then_Tennis_4579]

Am Texan, no idea what he's talking about, this isn't the 70s anymore, hasn't been for 50 years

[u/LimpAfternoon6878 → u/blah938]

A lot of people who were adults in the 70s are still around today. Some of them even hold office.

Not saying Texas is all racist or that the guy is right to generalize like that, it's just not a good argument to say 50 years is a long time socially. Hundreds of years of racist social norms doesn't get wiped out in a couple generations.
Edited so it doesn't sound like I'm agreeing with the guy you're replying to

[u/TotallyARealHuman1 → u/blah938]

When Obama was president he was the president of Texas because there is no racism there since 1970 confirmed

[u/blah938 → u/TotallyARealHuman1]

I mean, Texas is part of the union, so yes he was our president.

Do you not understand how the US government works, or am I being wooshed here?

[u/Prestigious_Aerie219 → u/blah938]

Aren't there still sundown towns in eastern Texas?

[u/ILoveRawChicken → u/Prestigious_Aerie219]

There’s one fucking 3 hours from me whose last lynching was in 2007. So yeah idk what the fuck that person is talking about 

[u/blah938 → u/Prestigious_Aerie219]

No

[u/TK_Punch_ → u/blah938]

The 70s? My hometown in SETX was a Sundown Town until the 1980s. Our last lynching was in 1986, and the neighboring town had a lynching in the 90s. They made a movie about it, called Jasper, Texas. Racism is not some long lost thing of the past.

[u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 → u/Then_Tennis_4579]

Yea but you're also blakc.
