Stop Dismissing Everything You Disagree With As ‘Politically Correct’

SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" - Nope, just that 1% bad cops have screwed things up for 99% good cops, and we have forgotten the lessons from Rodney King beaten back in 91, so until we learn to respect our differences and stop using the label of PC which started back in the early 80's "Political Correctness: has always meant one thing and one thing only - treating people who are different from ourselves with fairness and respect" quote John Maxstadt Laredo Texas July 7, 2016.

CPT Pedro Meza I disagree. It is not 1% of the cops. It is the people that do not understand or remember Mr. King. If people would remember not to go on a drugged up 20 miles high speed chase then their odds of an ass beating go down significantly. Not saying it was right that the cops beat his ass, but they didn't just walk up to him.

If you are fighting the cops and you say, "I have a gun!". Then you jam your hand into your pocket while fighting the police and your ass gets shot. That one is completely on you. There was no 1% bad cop.

SGT William Howell - I was a Parole Office in Los Angeles at the time of Rodney King, so no we Law Enforcement do not have the right to beat down any one; I also worked the prison system for two years. And no we still do not shoot a man as we wrestle him down, the issue of saying he reached for his gun so I shoot him multiple times is consider Lawful and awful, and with everything that a Law Enforcement Officer does that falls into Lawful but Awful has consequences.

CPT Pedro Meza So you are saying that Rodney King was all the fault of the police? Nothing to do with running? So tell me what do you do when a guy says, "I have a gun"? then he reaches into his pocket while you're fighting. What kind of ninja trick do you do? At what point is he allowed to shoot?

You know how this would have ended with everyone alive. The guy turned around and put his fucking hands behind his back like he was told. Was the cop right? I don't know. I was not there. I saw the same 10 seconds of video you saw. How long had they fought? Did he lose control of his hand? You can't see any of that.

I'll give that guy my support because cops make life altering decisions fast and with the judgement of fuckers that have never had to walk a day in his shoes. If he is wrong he will pay. If he was right he will pay. 12 police officers already paid for no reason.

LTJG (Join to see) - How is that even remotely what I said? Where are you even getting that? It sounds like because I'm telling you you are mistaking the meaning of a word and you don't like it, that you are accusing me. I'm sorry but your last response kills any credibility you had left. You literally attacked me for disagreeing with you on a definition.

"Giving people of all genders and sexualities the same rights as everyone else is most certainly politically correct." So far I get the impression that you are against political correctness, which would mean that you are against giving people of all genders and sexualities the same rights as everyone else.

Get the impression? So assume?
You can't have a fruitful discussion like this I'm sorry.

ENS Political Correctness. Conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated. Liberals add if you don't agree Racist, Homophobe, Bigot, Uneducated or whatever the Scarlet Letter of the day is.
That is what Political Correctness is today. Don't agree with me or my agenda, and I will make you the scourge of society. Equal Rights for everyone is common sense, not political correctness. Attacking those of faith for not agreeing with the LGTB agenda, that is political correctness.
Giving people of all genders and sexualities the same rights as everyone else. Pedophilia is also a sexuality, do we give them the same right to marry the children they want? To engage in sex with the children they want?
The LGTB community is already trying to lower the age of consent through the IASHS On its website, the IASHS lists “basic sexual rights” that includes “the right to engage in sexual acts or activities of any kind whatsoever, providing they do not involve nonconsensual acts, violence, constraint, coercion or fraud with children as young as ten. Now no one could ever coerce or defraud a minor into doing something they don't understand could they. Oh but don't call them pedophiles that is POLITICALLY INCORRECT they like to be called MINOR ATTRACTED PEOPLE!

CPT Pedro Meza - I'm quite positive some sociologist or psychologist somewhere is tracking the social ramifications of the experiment. Just as the Nazis studied the social ramifications resulting from the various means of executing victims of the halocaust. The fact that individuals choose to study social ramifications resulting from an action or chemical does not automatically make it a social experiment.

SFC Justin Scott - What is a social experiment?
It typically investigates the effects of a policy intervention by randomly assigning individuals, families, businesses, classrooms, or other units to different treatments or to a controlled condition that represents the status quo. Notice that Vietnam soldiers/veterans fall into this definition. These guys were refused treatment by the VA because they lacked VA status and it took a court case that forced the ARMY to treat them.. How is that for a controlled condition; refused treatment for 40 years.

CPT Pedro Meza - You are ignoring intent. Just because someone chooses to study those effects after the fact does not make the original action a social experiment.

SFC Justin Scott - You fail to see that the study is part of the original experiment. I think you need to better research Vietnam Soldiers/Veterans social experiments. Curious what is your definition of social experiment.,
