No Charges Prison For Guards Who Allegedly Boiled Schizophrenic Black Man to Death - GMDino - 03-19-2017 http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/florida-wont-charge-prison-guards-who-boiled-schizophrenic-black-man-darren-rainey-to-death-9213190 Quote:On June 23, 2012, Darren Rainey, a schizophrenic man serving time for cocaine possession, was thrown into a prison shower at the Dade Correctional Institution. The water was turned up top 180 degrees — hot enough to steep tea or cook Ramen noodles. RE: No Charges Prison For Guards Who Allegedly Boiled Schizophrenic Black Man to Death - bfine32 - 03-19-2017 Why do folks have to trivialize this by trying to make it about race?

The title of the article calls him a black man; simply an attempt to make this about race and to dismiss the larger issue. Try this experiment: just put the name Darren Rainey into your search engine, hit enter, and see how fair you have to go to see the word black in the title. I used Yahoo and went 3 pages deep before I quit and never saw it. Yet the one thread that is linked in this forum does so. Some folks are just not happy unless it is about race. From video clips I saw; at least one of the Officers was black and the man that kept asking them to help Darren is white. But folks that give less than a damn about this man want to use him to support their agenda.

You should be ashamed of yourself and anyone that fails to call you on the BS should be equally ashamed.

I guess it is made about race if you only read the headline and not the actual article. ![]() RE: No Charges Prison For Guards Who Allegedly Boiled Schizophrenic Black Man to Death - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 03-19-2017 There has to be more to this than what is stated in the article. In today's climate LEO's are being severely reprimanded for using harsh language. Miami is not known as a hotbed of reactionary conservatism. I have a very hard time reconciling this account and a decision that no charges be filed of any kind, which leads me to believe that the whole story is not being reported in this article.

The story is not about race which begs the question as to why ethnicity was mentioned by the OP in the thread title.

Though, in truth, one must ask why the editor of the Miami New Times chose to include it in their title.

Why not just say, "Formerly living being no longer living?" The details could be included in the article. No wait, by mentioning any details about the victim or the perpetrators of the act which resulted in his death we would be trivializing it, so no article, just a headline would be better. And maybe it should just say, "Being, which may or may not have formerly been living, now may or may not be dead." Yes, that would be the best way to communicate the pertinent information without bias or prejudice or hurt feelings.

It's probably just an after-affect from the way many major news outfits conducted themselves during the past few years, specifically in regards to what seemed like a deliberate effort to create racial tensions. I do believe minorities are disproportionately affected by unchecked LE (and institutional) power. I also have seen first hand some unsavory reporting (such as referring to fully grown men as children in order to create a more dramatic effect).

Yeah, the media has been stoking those racial tensions for decades - ever since they started poking their noses into lynchings and firebombing houses and churches back in the good old days, they have just ratcheted up racial tension in this country when race relations were humming along perfectly fine. ![]() RE: No Charges Prison For Guards Who Allegedly Boiled Schizophrenic Black Man to Death - GMDino - 03-19-2017 (03-19-2017, 05:51 PM)bfine32 Wrote: Why do folks have to trivialize this by trying to make it about race?

I posted the story for the story. I guess some people are always looking to deflect? But fortunately we've now wasted a whole page talking about race by saying it's not about race. Fantastic work. I'll try to be more sensitive in future post titles to those among us that want only the purest of information. ![]() As to the story: It seems the person who made the decision to not charge anyone has never charged an officer. I'd think you would at least in 20+ years seen a officer go to trial to determine innocence once or twice.

Yea, you're right that it is important to shine a light on those types of injustices. I guess the question becomes where is the line between exposing injustice and pushing a narrative? This isn't directed at you, by the way. This is something that anyone who consumes news should be asking themselves, imo.

If they just labelled it crime, then the world view of people who think that racial prejudice is over wouldn't be confirmed any more.
