The idea that they were generally delinquent and violent came from the racists that spread their ideas and propaganda throughout the LAPD.
The fact that you are so quick to go along with the racist notion that these police were expressing, the notion that all Mexicans are violent criminals, is a pretty clear indicator as to what your true motives for defending these racists are.

@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S.
You are saying there weren't Hispanic gangs causing mischief (crime and violence) at that time? It's all just propaganda?
Have you ever entertained the idea that the police are doing their jobs as to protect the public from miscreants? If your place gets looted and ransacked, who do you call? My first bet would be the police.

Have you ever entertained the idea that racist propagandists have you blaming problems on poor brown people while they destroy the environment and suck all the wealth from the middle class?
Have you considered the possibility that you are being fed a false narrative about these folks?
Has it maybe crossed your mind that the people telling you that Mexicans are nothing but rapists and drug dealers are lying to you?

No-one is telling me "Mexicans are nothing but rapists and drug dealers". Those would be your choice of words if anyone's.
I am not much into conspiracy theories myself. "They" are not blaming brown people, nor are "they" destroying the environment and sucking the wealth out of anyone.
Who is this elusive "they" you are talking about? White supremacists? KKK? Freemasons? Illuminati? 4chan?
First of all I have never heard anyone blame "brown people" for the sake that they are brown, or anything like that. What I have heard and seen is that crime and violence tends to go hand and hand in poverty and lack of education and that it isn't exclusively a "brown" problem.
You are the only one who is highlighting "brown people" like they somehow are an exception to the rule.

When the claim that Trump had "called all Mexicans rapists and drug dealers" first came out the skeptic in me asked "can anyone be that stupid?". So I just had to check it out personally.
I found out, that the quote was first misunderstood, then taken out of context and spread like wildfire.
Even if it was granted he said "they are" instead of "their" I have a hard time accepting someone is so daft as to interpret his sentence as "Mexicans are nothing but rapists and drug dealers".
Here's the quote verbatim:
As I said, I am not sure if he said "they are rapists" or "their rapists" in the end, but it still doesn't mean he said all Mexicans are rapists, or drug dealers.
I wonder what kind of sick and twisted logic can turn all that he said there, into "Mexicans are nothing but rapists and drug dealers". That just isn't correct, at all.

So much denial. He said what he said. If you can't see the racism in what this man said, you are either willfully ignorant or practicing cognitive dissonance. How is it that you can imagine a PBS Newshour anchor reporting on KKK infiltration of American police forces is racist, yet you can't see the blatant racism of a man who is supported and endorsed by every racist organization in the whole country? How can you not see how he is spreading fear and hatred of Mexicans with these words?

That's not the issue here though. Could you not move the goalposts all the time?
If he is so much of a racist, why should you lie about it, why can't you stick to the facts?
And that KKK thing, KKK can support anyone they want, it doesn't mean the guys KKK support support them back. For all I know KKK might support you without you knowing it. (If they really like Trump, they might in fact support you too for making these kinds of lies, because these kinds of lies about Trump saying something he didn't actually say ultimately make Trump look good.)
Know the association fallacy? Realize how you just invoked it?
So to clarify, whether Trump is a racist or not, speading such untruthful and inaccurate quotes as his, does not hurt Trump. It hurts you.
Because he wasn't talking about Mexicans, he was talking about illegal immigrants from Mexico (and post-quote, other countries too). He wasn't making racial remarks, he was calling for a stricter border control to root out criminals. There was nothing racial about the talk.

Why is it that every time a Trumpist defends the vile things that he says, they always end up saying "what he really meant was" or "he was actually talking about..."?
This conversation has derailed. I would like to get it back to the original point. The original point being that I can indeed find a thousand cases of racist policing in America. I will continue to post them until that becomes totally obvious to even the most skeptical of observers. Here's a link to the one I did today.

lets just thought experiment for a second here.
racism & segregation wasnt some natural thing. Poor Blacks and whites didn't naturally hate eachother. It was forced upon them by government. And yes over time the tensions did rise, but still it was state mandated.
PBS which stands for the public broadcasting system is state funded broadcasting... is exactly the network that displays state run propaganda.

You are persisting days after I told you I was done. Now you are crawling around my blog. It's creepy and rude.
I must have really gotten under your skin to get such a ridiculous reaction. I'm sorry the propagandists brainwashed you into thinking public television is a communist conspiracy intended to turn us all into gay Muslims. You seem like the type that has the potential to grow beyond such nonsense. The first step is to acknowledge that you have allowed yourself to be conscripted into a culture war, and they talked you into joining the losing team. Those who stand against progress and evolution never win, they only manage to slow things down for those of us trying to move civilization forward.
I need for this to be our final correspondence. I really do have better things to do with my time. I have led you to water. It is now up to you to drink.
