Faggot-knockin' is the new nigger-knockin'

I grew up in a "cop shop". Most of my friends were cops' kids. A good many of my dad's friends were cops. These were mostly big burly Irishmen whose balls, like, clanged when they walked. They didn't need all this fancy-ass taser crap to deal with the general public, and they didn't need to carry submachine guns to deal with common criminals. Hell, they didn't even wear flak jackets in case a criminal shot them, disdaining them as too hot and heavy and not effective enough to be useful. There was no less crime back then -- crime rates today are pretty much the same as they were when I was a kid, the hump created by the Baby Boomers has settled back down -- they just had balls, and didn't need all that wuss crap to do their jobs. Cops just ain't like that nowdays.

One thing that hasn't changed since then, though, was the fact that these big bastards were bigoted as hell. They boasted of going "nigger-knockin'" in the black neighborhoods to "keep the niggers in their place". When the police commissioner ordered them to invade a black church where a service was being held for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and beat the parishioners, they not only did it without hesitation, they laughed about it afterwards... Hey Julius, did you see that pickinini's eyes when I whapped his momma across the face with my nightstick? Little nigger looked like a fuckin' owl, didn't he!

So when I hear that the Fort Worth PD raided a gay bar and beat the crap out of its patrons, I'm not surprised at all. Because gays are the new nigger, to be hated and detested and kept from marrying the person they love in order to preserve the "purity" of the institution of marriage. The wonder is not that the Fort Worth cops did this. The wonder is that they don't do it more often.

  1. Hate to be nit-picky, but it was the Fort Worth police, not the Dallas police. Two different cities, same bigotry.

  2. Fixed. I knew that, just for some reason Dallas came out rather than Fort Worth, probably because of the general vicinity & a friend who lives in Dallas :).

  3. I had no idea about this. The FWPD regularly rounds up people for public intoxication right outside of bars.

    Of have never heard of them going into a bar unless at the Pour House. There they do security but we often stumbled out at 2:00am with just a goodbye from the police.

  4. And they did it right on the 40th anniversary of Stonewall.
