72 Philly Police Officers off patrol after Racist Posts

Such prejudices can be unimportant (negative against people with horn-rim glasses, versus those with prejudice against, say, black people.

Holding a prejudicial view doesn't condemn one to act on it. It's only important if acted upon.

If you're ready to display prejudice, odds are you are ready to act.

Such prejudices can be unimportant (negative against people with horn-rim glasses, versus those with prejudice against, say, black people.

Political prejudices then? Say, a police officer despises fascism and white supremacists and says that in public. Can they be trusted to protect and serve every member in their community?

Unless it's a town where people overtly wear swastikas.

[Cekoviu]

Yeah, if you're bigoted to the degree shown here, you probably won't be able to enforce the law fairly. I would support firing them.

That's true. But holding a position of power in which you're sanctioned to act on those prejudices make it far, far easier to do so.

[Ors Might]

That’s silly though. To the best of my knowledge, racial prejudice isn’t any more or less likely to show through than political prejudice.

Ah, my bad. I thought you were going to pull something absurd out of the bucket, such as “people named Frank.”
But no, you’re right.

People that say things along the lines of “prejudice has no place in our police force” really haven’t thought the whole prejudice thing through. Prejudice can result from any belief system via confirmation bias. You simply can’t eliminate prejudice on the whole without managing to find someone who has never formed a belief.

And in a town filled with people willing to commit violence against the fascist minority?

And when you do, you should be punished. Enough with this Crimethink bullshit.

[Kowani]

Yes, and? I’m not them, but I’m pretty sure that they were referring to those kinds of prejudice.


That’s completely false.

Do you have an actual argument besides "nuh uh!"? It's demonstrably true that the contents of people's thoughts don't inherently cause them to act those thoughts out.

Not every action of prejudice is a cop walking down the street and killing someone because of their prejudice, there’s a lot more that goes into it-and on that front, cops fail.

Stereotyping prejudice and discrimination, page 3 talks about subtle racism. In 44% of studies, whites, when chosen to give help to whites or blacks, gave less help or less helpful help to blacks. That is prejudice, which manifested in discrimination.

Which still doesn't make holding prejudice lead to prejudiced actions. We shouldn't be firing people for something they might possibly do to someone someday. Actions matter.

…Out of curiosity, who do you think’s most likely to act upon their prejudice? Those who actually have the belief or not?

One of the fictional ones. You know, the ones where they can blow up incredibly small parts of photos with no resolution loss to see a minute detail critical to solving the case.

People who hold the belief. That doesn't inherently mean they will or are even likely to act.

Except, you know, by the time they act, someone’s been hurt.

That's true with any crime. That still doesn't mean you get to punish people for things they might possibly do to someone, sometime, somewhere.

Unlike most crimes, we have the means to watch them-and public servants are members of the government, and thus, held to a higher standard.

Take it up with the legal system. It’s got a bunch of those built in.

Morality is subjective, try again.

Morality is never subjective. We just disagree over what it is.
