"White trash" isn't even racist to white people because it implies you have to specify that trash is white because it usually isn't, unlike other races.

That's...one view on the matter. Another view is that "white trash" implies that whites are inherently trash, or at least prone to "trashiness". A further different view is that while "white trash" isn't necessarily racist, it certainly is classist/elitist. Etc, etc.

There's still stuff like "redneck" too, and shit now we're talking about racial slurs in this thread. Also I legit thought you had me on ignore for a while.

Teargas will fuck you up whether you have a flimsy surgical mask on or not. The only real way to protect against tear gas is to have a full facemask covering that protects everything, including your eyes, and an independent oxygen filter/supply. The surgical masks and the N95 masks people are wearing for "protection" from covid will do shit all against tear gas except maybe trap particles of the gas inside with your mouth and nose so you get a more consistent dose.

N95 or P100 masks are only supposed to catch dusts, microbes, or particles. Teargas is a chemical irritant, so carbon filters in a painters mask (designed to filter organic vapors) are needed to neutralize it, not particle/HEPA filters.

My recollection from the Ferguson riots and listening to/watching the chaos unfold on TV was that the police during that were using some new sort of tear gas that bypassed the CNN reporters' gas masks, too. I mean it was CNN, but still.

I'm pretty sure they used CS gas at Ferguson (The current iteration of tear gas). It forms physical crystals as well as being a chemical irritant, so it acts as an abrasive when it gets into your eyes, but wets out everything. I had heard a few years back a couple of companies were supposed to have other riot control gasses in the pipe (ones that caused systemic inflammation in people (though only mild)) I haven't seen any of those come to market though.

P100's are "oil resistant" and suitable for organic vapors. They would definitely hold up better to tear gas. They also make cartridges for vaporized organic acids, though, if you're in that kind of environment, you should likely rethink your choices.

Honestly I have to agree with the Ivan guy all in all
I care about this incident as much as blacks care about the hundreds of innocent whites killed by blacks every year
Which is to say I don't care at all and its annoying when someone makes a big deal out of it. Maybe the guy was completely innocent and its an entirely undeserved death, oh well. I've never seen blacks speak out about undeserved white deaths at the hands of blacks, so why should I for them?

While I can't speak for everyone, i think you are focusing on the wrong aspect. Tragic about the black guy, maybe not, that's your opinion. The problem, that the media does overlook in its race baiting, is that it seems this type of heavy handed policing is becoming more normal and acceptable.

Local ”community organizer“ suggests rioting at a newer police precinct instead. Destruction is clearly the goal now, not actual protest.

It's literally what white trash means. You would never call Bill Gates "white trash." If you call someone white trash they're some inbred hillbilly with cars on blocks in their front yard. The dictionary definition of white trash is literally "POOR white people" emphasis added. And not just that, but specifically Southern.

"4.4 A worthless or disreputable person; now, usually, such persons collectively. {white trash}, the poor white population in the Southern States of America; now also used outside the Southern States of American and in attrib. use. Cf. white a. 4 a."

And ironically talking about incidents (or at least the way the media does), only enables this heavy handed policing.
Remember, only 5-10% of police killings are white officers killing blacks, but if you talk about the other 90-95% you are an all-lives-matter scumbag because these incidents only matter when its white on black.

I will say that "white trash" is not inherently racist (although the way some people use it, it might as well be).

Also which dictionary did that definition statement come from?

... that barely got more than a single page of responses. Yet a nigger chimps out, cops handcuff him, other niggers chimp out around them, and the original nigger dies (cause of death yet to be determined) = already at 23 pages within 24 hours.

I think the main reason that thread didn't blow up, and this one did, was dissent. Nobody in their right mind is going to argue what those two did was a good thing (shitposting doesn't count) or that they shouldn't be charged/convicted. In this thread, however, it's a split issue.

I'd just like to see accountability in cases like this where the police have clearly fucked up. I've seen it too many times where some cop fails to follow procedure and gets people killed only for some thin-blue-line towing jackass to unconditionally come to their defense. It's always along the lines of "Well, if cops are punished for violating policy, they will hesitate to act, and that will get officers killed!" Then don't volunteer and stop acting like your life MAYBE being at risk means you get to wipe your ass with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

That's not to say I'm in favor of making departments totally fucked like in the UK or that I'll ever carry water for the kind of idiot who hears a story like this and burns their own neighborhood down in retaliation. Both just provide examples for Blue Lives Matter types to point at as reasoning for why nothing can ever be done to hold the heckin' coperinos to account.

Is it? There seems to be overwhelming support that it was a murder, with a handful of noisy dissenters. Just by looking at reactions to posts on the first page it seems to be a 90-10 split. And I think thats really saying something considering how this board usually rolls.

I never said it was a 50/50 split. Even if opinions lean one way, the thread is split between debate/slapfights and the occasional update on the situation. In the thread that was brought up as a comparison, no debate whatsoever.
