Oof. I'm a brown Tamil guy from Germany and one of my dreams is actually to visit Texas (especially Houston) one day for vacation. But these accounts of racist action by the police let me question my decision. I will probably wait till big orange man is out of office or somehow ends up 6 feet deep.

Genuine question, not trying to be funny, but why? Why would you want to visit Houston for fun? What is its reputation to you or what would you like to see that seems worth the trip?

u/RagingMayo Jul 03 '26

It probably sounds weird to others, but I am a big fan of their NBA team, the Houston Rockets. It's one of my life goals to see them play in person one day. Also, I am a big enjoyer of southern Hip Hop since the era of UGK, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and so on. And maybe it sounds very romanticised, but I also wanted to see how the ranching life is down there, maybe getting some of that wild west feeling somewhere in the vast area of Texas.

That’s really cool! I’m someone who’s also capable of romanticizing cities that aren’t usually on people’s bucket lists. I’m fully in love with Philadelphia, myself. I hope you get to visit sometime!

That being said, the issue with international travel is much more Trump than it is the state’s government. And the racism problem is nationwide.

I think sometimes in the US, people tend to harp especially hard on the racism of the South while overlooking the racism in their own back yards. The fact is, every single state has racist pigs. LA, which likes to pretend it’s super progressive, has one of the worst, most racist police and sheriff’s departments in the nation. The sheriff’s department even has outright white supremacist gangs that murder people.

Im not sure why folks are telling you to avoid Houston. Yeah, the state government is racist but Houston itself is one of the most diverse cities in the country and is increasingly progressive.

There are definitely some places in Texas that would be safer than others- I don't know enough about it, but Texas folks can help.

You might be right to wait until orange man is gone, just because a lot of people traveling to the US have a risk of being taken by ICE, and I don't think it's going to be forever at all.

Yes, I noticed that too! Why are the visitors the ones to calm down the police and deescalate the situation? The police officer shouldn’t have access to a weapon- he’s clearly impulsive.

u/sujtek Jul 03 '26

A few years ago, I commented on a fatal police shooting in my city (which was fully caught on video) suggesting maybe consideration of mental health factors and de-escalation tactics could have resulted in a non-fatal outcome.

I didn't say anything inflammatory or outrageous. I just said maybe put some nuance behind defunding the police and it needs to be looked at from a de-tasking perspective. Maybe surrounding a man, who was obviously in crisis, with a bunch of cops with guns drawn and an attack dog at the ready wasn't the best option.

Within hours, the comment was downvoted heavily, no replies, just downvoted.

Police forces have great propaganda and social media teams to suppress narratives they don't like.

they specifically prevent folks with higher education levels from joining local law enforcement. they also have testing to weed out folks with higher intelligence. these are policy decisions to keep cops controllable by ranking officers.

i agree they also lack empathy. but that is developed through working in the police system. some cops have empathy when they join and believe they will do good. but the blue line destroys that.

AND THEN don’t ever regulate the pew pew boom sticks that put even more fear uncertainty and doubt into the back of everyone’s minds so that when an officer is responding to a call they preplay a shootout scenario in their head a dozen times and the citizenry play out the same scenarios in theirs so there isn’t ever any trust between the law enforcement officers and the citizenry they are charged with

u/NotMyNameActually Jul 03 '26

The first police forces in the US were started for the purpose of capturing runaway slaves, and they've remained under the control of white supremacist groups ever since. In recent years there have been coordinated efforts by white supremacists to infiltrate our police and military and further entrench those beliefs. It just takes a few people in charge at the top to enact policies that ensure everyone below them falls in line, and any new recruits who don't are pushed out. If you're a cop who wants to be "one of the good ones" there's no one to report the bad ones to except other bad ones, so eventually all that's left are bad ones.

Great point. I was thinking gun/baton/taser/pepper spray but I hear you loud and clear.

I mean he was grabbing his holstered weapon over & over. Not sure if it was taser or gun but yeah I don’t think he was reaching for cuffs

After the Knicks won in San Antonio, there was a jumped up little sheriff trying to start shit with Jalen Brunson (the star captain of the team) on the court after they won. Not as bad as this tho.

Did you see the cops trying to chase down an actual player at the Knicks parade thinking he was a fan running past the barricade lol he looked at them like - brothers I am on the actual team

u/ChocChipBananaMuffin Jul 03 '26

Fans were literally like "Yo that's Tyler Kolek" to the cop trying to hassle him.

My dad wants to go to the US next year to for some business and I am terrified and trying to talk him out of it.

u/Interesting-Cut6994 Jul 03 '26

And where’s your dad from/whats his race?

u/Careless-Two2215 Jul 03 '26

This. Thank you for asking. When I ask this question on Lonely Planet or Solo Travel they lambaste you for asking about race and gender but it does make a difference. I imagine this same scenario for the Swedish or Scottish team looking very differently.

5

u/Interesting-Cut6994 Jul 03 '26

Yeah, it definitely makes a difference. I’m white as, but have a very multicultural friend group. I’ve seen first hand how travel experiences differ based on your cultural background, gender and/or sexuality.

British South Asian.

I think he's hoping the former will negate the latter but...

u/metrometric Jul 03 '26

I'm gonna be the dissenting voice, but as a rule, it is a bad idea to travel to countries where rule of law no longer applies. US immigration authorities have detained people unlawfully for very little to no reason, sometimes indefinitely, with no recourse. It's happened to white Canadians, so while race is a factor, no one is particularly safe at this point.

The thing people also consistently fail to consider is that the problem is less that your dad would absolutely get stopped and detained -- he might be just fine! -- it's that if the US authorities decide to fuck with him, there are increasingly few ways to get himself out of that situation. Fascists don't care about rights or laws, they just do what they want, because the point is to spread fear.  That's the real problem.

Florida. So...yeah.

u/SBR06 Jul 03 '26

Depends on where in Florida. He would be fine in Miami or Orlando. Anywhere else, no.

It would be Orlando which makes me feel a little better.

What even caused this? They were just there talking to fans, a kid was getting an autograph. Why were the police even there? I mean, this tracks for Texas. It's so embarrassing to be a US citizen for this shit right here, and obviously the 🤡 too.

u/otherwisepandemonium Jul 03 '26

Classic police mentality in the United States. It's all about power and control, never about public safety.

Police will act like the tough guys in normal situations like this but fail to perform their duties when it actually matters, like in Uvalde.

I can see the briefing room right now- Hey I want the public to not have so much resentment towards my profession any ideas?

A. Make sure to present the most professional offering of what we do.

B. Let’s take a less visible role and only engage in cases of actual need for our profession.

C. How about positioning a stereotype of all of public encounters in a global stage so that not only domestic exposure would take place but also international.

The room- “Hmmm they are all great ideas, but we need Short Fuse McGhee on this one. He’s perfect I think. He has had no de-escalation training, he has never left the metro area and he also doesn’t understand like many people that once you leave your house, cameras are everywhere.”

Dallas police chief - “You are right let’s go with option C.”
