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.

@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S.
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.

The fact that there was helluva lot of crime and violence in the Mexican American neighborhoods had nothing to do with the idea that they were "generally delinquent and violent". I see.

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.

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.

These are all white supremacist cops according to you.

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.

How many of these people are actually white? I wouldn't bet on it if any of them were, maybe Gisevius, but I wouldn't even be sure about him. Oh, but one of them said a racial slur, that must be the white guy right?
Ignatius Hill
Oh no, he's some other dude entirely! A black dude at that... This is turning out to be like a bad soap opera.
Yea ok, black guys can be racists too, I can attest to that now. ;D But um... this dude being a black somehow turns your claims on their head. I thought the racism was supposed to be white. You said yourself, the police are white supremacists, and then we get the only racial slur (the only indication there's any racism in this case, even as stated in the court) is from a black dude.

Yes, black people can be racists. They can be racists towards whites, and they can be racists towards other blacks.
With just a few hours of work, I was able to assemble thousands of cases of proven police misconduct against Americans of color. Some of these may have been perpetrated by black officers, but not very many. If you want to keep adding qualifiers, I can simply keep adding cases. I still feel that I have 100% proven my point here.
