Aside from being able to easily find replacement cases for each instance that doesn't meet your ridiculous standard of what constitutes proven racism, I will also gladly debate each individual case with you. The Bloody Christmas incident was racially motivated. The wikipedia article makes several references to a long record of racial tension between LAPD and the Hispanic community. Anyone looking at this article, and refusing to see where it clearly indicates racially motivated violence, is simply refusing to acknowledge reality.

@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S.
Which it doesn't. It mentions tension, but not "racial tension", and it mentiones "racial profiling" once. In fact the whole word "race" is there once as in "racial profiling".
I mean the courts documenting "racial slurs" like in the case of the Danziger Bridge Shooting. These things can be proven. You just want to be lazy and conflate everything as racism.
I wanted proven cases, not hearsay.

I can actually pull up over three thousand cases of lynchings in which police were complicit and involved. There are court documents, newspaper articles, and a mountain of evidence showing police complicity and participation in the lynchings of over 3000 African Americans. Learn your American history before making such moronic statements and bets.

Did you follow the rules the first time?
No.
Why should I believe your claims now?
Police participating in over 3000 lynchings of African Americans? You are proposing another bet?
Your American history, not mine. I'm an outside observer.

Do the 3000 lynched African Americans not count towards the thousand cases? Even if only a third of them had proven involvement by courts and police, that would be enough to prove a thousand cases of white on black racist policing. Stop trying to deflect to a new bet. I'm still trying to hold you accountable for the first bet you made.

The first one was about blacks and you gave me Mexicans. Do you think I'm going to accept a blatant switch to "hey but there was this time in history america was really racist"?
Go ahead if you want but that's not a bet I'm going to accept. I'm sure there is a sore spot in every country's history.
When you said you can provide video evidence, I assumed you were talking about relatively recent history. Are you going to provide me with video and court evidence of each lynching of those alleged 3000 cases? No I didn't think so.

The Bloody Christmas case was rooted in racial tension between the LAPD and the hispanic community. If you actually read the article, you would know that.

Or maybe, just maybe it was rooted in tension between criminals in once group and law officers in the other. How could you tell?
Physically resisting a police officer will get you manhandled too whether you are white or not. And in 1951 the police were even more likely to act with force than they are today. The tensions were a lot harsher then.
Why indeed do you think that when a cop roughs up someone it is always because racism?

Here is a quote directly lifted from the bloody christmas wikipedia article, which I am pretty sure you didn't actually read.
"Despite previous police chiefs trying to improve relationships by quelling public fears of Mexican American crime, community leaders hoped Parker's appointment would really lead to an improvement in the situation. Problems occurred because of anti-Mexican sentiment among LAPD officers, many of whom believed Mexican Americans were generally delinquent and violent. This racial profiling led to numerous violent encounters between the police and Mexican Americans because both sides expected the other to use force."
The LAPD had been so infiltrated with white supremacists that community relations with people of color had completely broken down. The article provides links to several places showing that, if you would actually read instead of exercising willful ignorance.

Of course there is no video evidence, but there are court documents and newspaper articles.
Anyone reading this can see you moving the goalposts to avoid paying out. It's pretty obvious.

The fact that black officers toe the line when white officers are misbehaving does not change the fact that there are white supremacists in the ranks of police forces across America. You don't have to be white to be a racist. Racists come in all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and genders.
