Strange....

Donald Trump doesn't SOUND like Satan*OR* Hitler....

I am guessing it's just more BS hyperbole from the hysterical Left Wingery....

Michale

Of course there are always exceptions.. That's a given..

But the few exceptions to the rule don't belie the legitimacy of the rule itself..

Michale

Washington State, first of all... :D

Anti-cop?? Yea, definitely a liberal...

Michale

Who said that shop owner was a liberal? You continue to falsely associate behaviors you disagree with or dislike as being the product of "left-Wingery" witchcraft. Should I assume any story of a man being arrested for sex with his farm animal is just another example of Wrong-Wingery values?

Hysterical anti-police rhetoric from the Left Wingery in 3.... 2...... 1.......

Michale

I am willing to address EVERY point in this commentary...

Is anyone else???

Michale

Reichardt says the deputies were told that customers didn't like law enforcement there. The sheriff says his chief deputy called the owner later Thursday and says the request was confirmed along with a request to spread the word among other law enforcement agencies.

Yea... No anti-cop bias amongst the Left Wingery.. None at all. :^/

Michale

I posted an article about an unarmed white man shot and killed by police in nearly identical circumstances than other police shootings of black men..

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2016/07/08/ftp399/#comment-79494

Not a SINGLE comment from Weigantians calling into question the actions of the officers..

The facts are undeniable..

The Left Wingery (NEN) don't give a flying frak unless cops shoot a black person....

It's *ALL* about the ideology...

Michale

Give me a factual, verifiable and documented case of either white privilege or institutionalized that is based on bona fide facts without the use of mythical and subjective code words, dog whistles or the little hairs on the back of your neck standing up..

Find me the facts that prove this beyond ANY doubt from the last 7 years and I will shut up about it...

Michale

To be more accurate, White privilege, like institutionalized racism is as mythical, in the here and now, as a unicorn...

Michale

That's a very good explanation of what white privilege was..

Just like my explanation of institutionalized racism is a very good example of what it WAS...

Now, if you can find me an example of that in the here and now..

THEN... and ONLY then.. will you have a case that white privilege still exists...

Until such time as those facts are presented....

White privilege, like institutionalized racism is as mythical as a unicorn...

Michale

"White privilege" does exist, and as a society we were very honest about its existence and what it meant back 30-something years ago. Why in the world would we have created Affirmative Action if we weren't aware of how it unfairly affected minorities in the workplace? This is why I get confused when people say that society has to wake up and recognize the problem exists so that we can do something to help fix the damage caused by "white privilege"; ummmmmmm, we did.

I know that white people get offended when someone says that it was easier for them to get a certain job or to reach a certain level of management than it would be for people of color, because it suggests we did not have to work hard or put any effort into achieving our goals; they were just handed to us. Here's how I explain "white privilege" to people:

"White privilege" does not make running a marathon easier for whites, nor does it lessen the accomplishment for whites (nobody just runs a marathon like its no big deal, it takes hard work and training to get into that kind of shape!), but what it does do is that it adds extra difficulty for people of color just to be able to reach the starting line!

Awwwwwww You can NEVER have too many facts!!! :D

OK, OK... The points been made... :D

Michale

And I DON'T mean evidence like "code words" and "dog whistles" and "super duper decoder rings" kind of evidence..

My bust....

Michale

You don't have to ask questions to be cute... :D

Apparently, it comes naturally for you. :D

Michale

Remembering that I am nothing but a knuckle-dragging ground pounder, this is my definition of institutionalized racism...

A health-inspector out on his rounds is harsher on his inspections when he is inspecting businesses that are owned by black people..

THAT is racism...

A directive comes down from the Director of the Health Department that says ALL health inspectors must be harsher on businesses owned by black people than other businesses.. This directive is followed by the entirety of the health department on a systemic and on-going basis...

THAT is institutionalized racism...

If anyone has any actual factual evidence of institutionalized racism????

Put it out there...

Otherwise, the facts are clear....

And I mean evidence like "code words" and "dog whistles" and "super duper decoder rings" kind of evidence..

REAL, tangible evidence for which there is one possible conclusion and one possible conclusion ONLY...

When you have THAT kind of evidence??

We'll talk....

Michale

No, I'm asking because I honestly don't know what you mean when you say that institutionalized racism ended the day President Obama was elected. And, if I am to understand what you mean, then I need to know how you define institutionalized racism as it existed BEFORE Obama was elected ...

Oh, please, say it ain't so. :)

Apparently, Paula seems to think so... :D

Kewl.... :D

Michale

When you say "institutionalized racism", what do you mean, precisely?

What do YOU think I mean??

Michale

I feel like too many people look at what these shooting deaths for what they symbolically represent to them and the black community but ignore the reality and facts of what occurred. Like the one person told me during Ferguson, what Michael Brown and Officer Wilson came to represent was more important and much bigger than who they are and what they actually did as individuals. We are outraged (and rightly so!) when we discover evidence that exonerates blacks that should have never been indicted, much less convicted for the crimes that caused them to spend decades in prison. Yet we demand that officers face trial for shooting even if there is no evidence to support the charges against them. It's not about justice, it's about revenge.

Has anyone from BLM ever apologized to Darrin Wilson for how he was/is portrayed in Michael Brown's death? He was doing his job and didn't want to die, and that cost him his job, forced him to move his family out of state, and continue to receive death threats. I have no problem pointing out when the police are guilty of causing the death of blacks that aren't justifiable; I just wish that courtesy went both ways.
-ListenWhenYouHear

Of course, Listen is a product of "white privilege" too, right?? :D

Every time I type "white privilege" I laugh and think back to that Orlando Jones scene from THE REPLACEMENTS... :D

Anyone who thinks "white privilege" exists beyond a Left Winger inane totally BS talking point is delusional and is unwilling to assess any blame where it REALLY belongs...

"White privilege" doesn't abort 30,000 black babies a year.. Black people do..

"White privilege" doesn't brutally murder 10,000 black people a year.. Black people do...

"White privilege" didn't burn down Baltimore or Ferguson black neighborhoods. Black people did..

"White privilege" doesn't kill hundreds if black people in Chicago every month. Black people do...

I could go on and on, but what would be the point??

With ya'all, it's ALL about fanatical ideological slavery...

And you can't debate rational and logical facts with a fanatic...

Michale

I think I understand Michale and what he is trying to do here. And, as many times as I say I've had enough of his worldview, that's as many times as I keep coming back for more.

There's a name for that kind of behavior and I'm guilty as charged. :)

When you say "institutionalized racism", what do you mean, precisely?

Oh, please, say it ain't so. :)

These are the facts...

Michale

Oh, so now I am representative of the entire country!!!???

Whoever you took that hugely broad brush from, they want it back.. They need to paint house.. :D

Michale

I am ROLLING in white privilege...

hehehehehehehehehe

Seriously, you people should take a step back and see how utterly ridiculous and totally inane you sound...

The scary part is, ya'all actually BELIEVE it!!

Ya'all can't address the facts so you just resort to childish name-calling and immature personal attacks...

You remind me of that guy in THE REPLACEMENTS..

"Dem cops jus tryin' to keep the black man down!!!"

Hay Paula, the 60s are calling.. They want their racial activism back.. .

Heh

Michale

Can you find it in your heart to at least try to understand why BLM doesn't mean that other lives don't matter, too and to see that relations between the police and minority communities/citizens is the end point of a long and winding continuum of policies and policymaking that directly or indirectly impact on the health and life of communities across America.

Nope. He can't. He won't. Coz if he admits the accuracy of any point it will make the next point questionable - and if he admits that, it will cast doubt on his position on the next point. Easier all around to put his fingers in his ears and scream "NO! I can't heeeeeeeear you!" Plus he just enjoys baiting us.

Michale is an excellent example of a certain type of American: the rolling gasbag of white privilege. The important thing is to identify those of his mindset who can be salvaged and keep the rest as far away from the corridors of power as possible until they die out.

What kind of "self-reflection" and "soul-searching" is required for me to comment on a black scumbag who gunned down 14 people, including 12 cops??

Just curious...

Michale

It happened, it's bad and it's sad that it happened..

But to use THAT as an excuse to burn down your own neighborhoods and kill cops???

Again... WTF???

Michale

Says the lovely young lady who's not.. :D

Michale

White people have been acknowledging their responsibility for a hundred years... THAT is what Affirmative Action is..

And things have not gotten better, they have gotten worse..

And *WHY* have things gotten worse??

Because the black community refuses to accept ANY responsibility...

A black person guns down 12 cops and 2 civilians..

And it's the WHITE community that needs to look at itself and it's actions..

WTF????

Ya'all can't hold the black community responsible for ANYTHING...

Because ya'all are afraid of losing their votes..

It's THAT simple....

Michale

Actually, I have laid out a dozen questions and facts that ya'all refuse to answer or address..

Ya'all can't because those facts PROVE ya'all are wrong....

So, you just ignore them.....

But it's OK.. I am used to winning by forfeit... :D

Michale

Yer right. I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who sires almost 2 dozen children by 6 or 7 different women..

I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who burns down their own neighborhoods..

I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who kills cops....

I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who murders by the TENS OF THOUSANDS, members of my own race...

Your absolutely right..

I CAN'T see things from that perspective.....

The fact that YOU can says more about you than it does about me...

Have an awesomely frabjous day... :D

MIchale

In a manner of speaking..

We voted for Obama...

Every community has it's share of problems..

But the BLACK community is unique in that it, as a whole, REFUSES to accept it's own responsibility and seeks to blame OTHER communities...

Whites didn't burn down Ferguson and Baltimore.. Blacks did..

Whites don't shoot hundreds of whites every month in Chicago...
Blacks do..

Whites don't have dozens of children out of wedlock.
Blacks do..

All of these are real and serious problems within the black community THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHITES

Ya'all go on and on about the white community's responsibility for the black community but completely and utterly ignore the black community's responsibility..

Why???

The answer is simple...

Political expediency... The Left Wingery *CAN'T* hold the black community responsible because then the Left Wingery would lose their votes...

That's all it boils down to..

Michale

If there was any doubt that you are incapable of self-reflection and soul searching or even of assessing situations or putting yourself in the shoes of ANY of your fellow citizens, there is none now. :(

Have a nice day!

If you have a logical and rational and, above all else, FACTUAL answer to that question, I will shut up about the entire issue..

But the ONLY logical, rational and factual answer is that black lives DON'T matter to the (O)BLM group.. It's just an excuse to push their racist and hate-filled political agenda...

Michale

He had NINETEEN kids by 6 or 7 different women..

And THAT is the norm for the black community...

Now, you tell me that THAT is not a good portion of the problems facing the black community...

Michale

If you have any FACTS that dispute this conclusion..

Michale

Blacks account for approx 13% of the population, but they account for over 34% of the abortions according to the CDC>.

How many white males killed by other white males?

Blacks account for approx 13% of the population, but they account for over 96% of the cause of black deaths..

Are you saying that ... what the heck are you saying?

I am saying that, if black lives matter, why is the OVERWHELMING cause of black deaths, other blacks???

Michale

Michale

How many white abortions per year? How many white males killed by other white males?

Are you saying that ... what the heck are you saying?

I'm confused about how you apportion responsibility ...

If that's what you have to believe to support the group, fine.. I don't fault you for that..

But the facts CLEARLY show that, as Listen points out, to the group, ONLY black lives matter...

The point here is that the white community needs to take its share of responsibility for the state of affairs in police/minority community relations.

What the hell do you think AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is!!???

The "white community" has been taking it's share of responsibility for a hundred years..

Are things any better??

No.. Because the black community refuses to accept ANY responsibility for THEIR actions..

30 thousand black abortions a year. Almost 10,000 black males killed by other black males..

THAT has absolutely NOTHING to do with the "white community"...

It's ALL on the black community..

And the Left Wingery who acts as the enabler for ducking responsibility..

The point here is that the white community needs to take its share of responsibility for the state of affairs in police/minority community relations. As whites, we should focus our thoughts, actions and comments on that!

Which has absolutely NO BEARING on today...

NONE... ZERO... ZILCH.... NADA.....

Humans used to live in caves and wear animal skins and poop where ever they wanted to...

But that ALSO has absolutely NO bearing in the here and now...

Can you find it in your heart to at least try to understand why BLM doesn't mean that other lives don't matter,

I could.. Possibly...

IF the BLM movement didn't violently attack ANYONE who counter's their message with the obvious message that ALL lives matter....

Here's how I see the BlackLivesMatter movement ... given the history and the historical challenges that still permeate the present of black life in America, it might be called BLMT! - BlackLivesMatterToo!

It SHOULD be called that..

And, if the goal was truly what the Left Wingery claims is the goal, it WOULD be called that..

But the group doesn't WANT to acknowledge that point..

Their group is ALL about black lives and black lives ONLY...

But even THAT is total bullshit because they don't give a rip about all the black abortions and all the black on black violence..

Look at Chicago and try to tell me that black people REALLY care about black lives..

Michale

"Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I'll show you what you value."

That has taken on added meaning for me in the wake of recent discussions here.

Charles Blow of the NYTimes makes an excellent point about the root causes of the tension that exists today between police departments the minority communities they serve.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/14/opinion/blood-on-your-hands-too.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region&region=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0

The phrase that I like to use, generally speaking, is that we are ALL in this together. Charles Blow explains how you can draw a line between policies made in Washington and state capitols - particularly tax and fiscal policies and national and state budgets - directly to community/police relations, for better or worse. Joe Biden has a saying (it was actually his dad's phrase) which goes like this ... don't tell me what you value, show me your budget and I'll you what you value,

Here's how I see the BlackLivesMatter movement ... given the history and the historical challenges that still permeate the present of black life in America, it might be called BLMT! - BlackLivesMatterToo!

You will recall, Michale, being the true defender of the constitution that you are, that black lives used to matter only 3/5 as much as white lives!

Can you find it in your heart to at least try to understand why BLM doesn't mean that other lives don't matter, too and to see that relations between the police and minority communities/citizens is the end point of a long and winding continuum of policies and policymaking that directly or indirectly impact on the health and life of communities across America.

Where's the outrage???

Where's the protests???

Oh... That explains it...

Michale

's ironic....

A racist hate group can loudly proclaim in earnest that they want dead cops and the Left Wingery falls all over themselves to kow-tow to the racist hate group..

Good and decent public servants who PROTECT these (O)BLM racist morons express an obvious joke in frustration and their lives are ruined...

Jan 2017 can't come soon enough!!

Michale

That's a question that defies answer...

Do you want to know where the most dangerous place for a black person to be.

In this place, tens of thousands of black people are killed every year..

That place is the womb....

So, if we take the number of black abortions per year and the number of black deaths caused by black people every year and go back over 30 years...

Black people are responsible for MILLIONS of black deaths....

So you might understand why it's hard for me to wrap my brain around the concept that black people actually BELIEVE that black lives "matter"....

It goes back to ya'all's superpower thing..

The black community can save a couple lives a year by addressing the unjustified killing of black people by cops..

TWO black lives....

Or the black community can save almost TEN THOUSAND black lives by addressing the brutal killing of black people by other black people...

If they do the latter, THEN they can stand proud on the idea that black lives do, indeed, matter...

But doing the former simply proves it's all about pushing an ideologically WHACKED agenda and that black lives DON'T matter....

Am I wrong???

"Yer not wrong"

Michale

I hope your planet has room for me, because I thought Obama gave an incredible speech at a very sensitive and emotionally charged event!

Let me repeat what I said above..

It puts absolutely NO onus of responsibility on the black community...

It's ALL #BlackLivesMatter...

It's NO #BlackParentingMatters or #BlackFamilyMatters or #BlackFatherhoodMatters or #BlackReponsibilityMatters....

As such, it was nothing but a pandering speech that put cops to sleep...

Michale

Please be packing when you do that, as your life will be in danger...

Which, in and of itself, proves how nasty and hateful this (O)BLM group is...

Michale

Why do you always put an 'O' in brackets before BLM when you are commenting on BlackLivesMatter?

What that says to the police is that Only Black Lives Matter.
-Listen

That clear it up?? :D

It's abundantly clear that to this racist hate group ONLY black lives matter...

This is easy to prove.. Got to a (O)BLM rally and stand and proclaim that ALL LIVES MATTER..

Please be packing when you do that, as your life will be in danger...

But, since you ask your question, let me ask mine..

How is it that black lives "matter", but over 96% of black males are killed by other black males??

That's a question that defies answer...

Michale

Which is EXACTLY what I said in comment #363, #364...

Bet ya, your's gets ignored too.. :D

Michale

Why do you always put an 'O' in brackets before BLM when you are commenting on BlackLivesMatter?

I hope your planet has room for me, because I thought Obama gave an incredible speech at a very sensitive and emotionally charged event!

The more, the merrier, I always say ... :)

I'm happy to hear you liked the speech. This may be a critical turning point ...

One last thought about the comment you made:
When the police leak to the press all sorts of stuff about the most recent dead person, leaked in order to damage that person's reputation and make their killing seem more acceptable, the media runs with that too.

The police do NOT leak information regarding an active investigation, or the individuals involved would face criminal prosecution. The press tried to claim that the video of Michael Brown committing strong armed robbery was released by Police Chief to discredit Brown's character. That was complete and utter bullshasta! I have been a public records advocate for years. The press entered a public records request with the Ferguson PD for any and all records involving Michael Brown. Because the police had decided not to press charges on Dorian Johnson in exchange for his testimony on what he witnessed during the shooting, the strong armed robbery case was closed. If there is an active investigation, the evidence related to it is not subject to release. If the case is closed, the evidence is subject to release according to public record laws.

HuffPost went beyond being reprehensible when they ran an article calling the Ferguson Police Chief a liar for saying that the only reason the video was released was because someone had requested it. The author was playing the semantics game, trying to argue that the reporter never named the video specifically in his request, even though the law still required the police to release the video because it was under the umbrella of things the request meant when it asked for "any and all records relating to Michael Brown".

I hope your planet has room for me, because I thought Obama gave an incredible speech at a very sensitive and emotionally charged event!

I liked the article you shared, and I agree with it. I believe the Guardian did a similar piece on the warrior vs. guardian approaches to police work around the same time as Ferguson. I don't dispute the DOJ's findings that the justice system treats some people worse than others, I do question whether or not those differences are intentional acts of racial discrimination or if they are economically motivated. Wealthy blacks do not face the same legal problem that poor whites face; but then wealthy Hispanics also don't face the same legal problem that poor Native Americans face either.

And you just keep brushing off the experiences black people have -- they don't count, they aren't real, people only think they're being harassed, it's their fault...

I hate that it sounds like I am brushing off the experiences of black people, but after re-reading my posts I can see why you would think that as my comments have been less than empathetic. I would point out that talking about the black experience is not the same as discussing the facts of a case. How people feel and how they are treated by the police definitely matter. But those feelings have no place in determining guilt/innocence in criminal cases.

While the DOJ have found that the police departments needed to fix the way they treated the black communities, the reports also made it very clear that race played absolutely no role in the shooting deaths and that the officers involved acted appropriately and followed standard policing practices. So the feelings and experiences of the black community are valid, but they are not factors in most of the cases that are causing the outrage.

Do you not see the problem with the public pointing to Michael Brown's death and demanding change from the police? The officer was attacked and responded to a use of deadly force against him with a show of deadly force of his own. Are the police not allowed to defend their own lives? And for those that think Brown's death was racially motivated, I always ask, "What race would the person have to be for Officer Wilson to have allowed them to take his gun and kill him with it? White? Pacific Islander/Greek mix?" What that says to the police is that Only Black Lives Matter.

I feel like too many people look at what these shooting deaths for what they symbolically represent to them and the black community but ignore the reality and facts of what occurred. Like the one person told me during Ferguson, what Michael Brown and Officer Wilson came to represent was more important and much bigger than who they are and what they actually did as individuals. We are outraged (and rightly so!) when we discover evidence that exonerates blacks that should have never been indicted, much less convicted for the crimes that caused them to spend decades in prison. Yet we demand that officers face trial for shooting even if there is no evidence to support the charges against them. It's not about justice, it's about revenge.

Has anyone from BLM ever apologized to Darrin Wilson for how he was/is portrayed in Michael Brown's death? He was doing his job and didn't want to die, and that cost him his job, forced him to move his family out of state, and continue to receive death threats. I have no problem pointing out when the police are guilty of causing the death of blacks that aren't justifiable; I just wish that courtesy went both ways.

Of course you do..

It's a little bit better than the last one.. But not quite as good as the next one... :D

Michale

If the president is pandering, then maybe a warpath IS required....

Let me put it to you this way, Liz..

I endow ya'all with superhuman powers... Ya'all can solve ONE problem in the black community...

1. Cops killing innocent black males...

2. Black males killing black males....

Ya'all can only solve ONE of the problems..

Based on the comments here, it is obvious that ya'all would choose problem #1......

Congratulations... Ya'all have just saved one or two black lives per year.. It's only 2, but hay... BlackLivesMatter, right??

Congrats...

NOW...

If ya'all had chosen #2, ya'all would have saved over NINETY FIVE **HUNDRED** black lives...

So, you can see why it's so mind-bobbling that ya'all would choose to try and save one or two innocent lives over saving almost TEN THOUSAND lives...

Of course, there is no ideological/Party benefit to saving all those lives...

So, maybe it's not so mind-bobbling after all....

Michale

At least Obama showed up.. I would have bet quatloos he wouldn't have even sent a flunky....

So, there is that...

Michale

It puts absolutely NO onus of responsibility on the black community...

It's ALL #BlackLivesMatter...

It's NONE #BlackParentingMatters or #BlackFamilyMatters or #BlackFatherhoodMatters or #BlackReponsibilityMatters....

As such, it was nothing but a pandering speech that put cops to sleep...

Michale

Yep......

Michale

How utter ridiculous...

Maybe it's the cop in me, but *MY* first question would be, "Why does the poor kid want to get a glock? Is it to commit a crime??"

I mean, seriously.. What does this moron think?? That if we make it harder for the kid to get a glock, he'll just throw up his hands and say, "Well, shit!! It's too hard to get a glock!! I might as well get a book!!"

Are ya'all SERIOUSLY that delusional!???

If the kid wants a glock to commit a crime and he can't get one, he'll get a blade... Or a bat... or a hammer... or any one of a HUNDRED different items that he could use as a weapon to commit a crime..

Maybe you should look at WHY the kid wants a glock...

Maybe instead of #BlackLivesMatter, the black community should be thinking of #BlackParentingMatters or #BlackFamilyMatters or #BlackFatherhoodMatters or #BlackReponsibilityMatters....

But, noooooooo Let's just concentrate *ALL* of our energies on WOULDN'T IT BE NICE laws that will do absolutely NOTHING to address the issue of WHY a poor kid would want a glock instead of a book...

Yea... THAT'S the ticket... :^/

Michale

Obama's great Dallas speech???

Not so much.... :^/

Michale

NEVER... NONE... ZERO... ZILCH.... NADA....

This is a point that bears repeating..

A half dozen police shootings... A **VERY** motivated DOJ searching for the merest scintilla of racism, the slightest whiff of racism....

Comes up EMPTY HANDED **each and EVERY time**

EVERY TIME....

Why can't ya'all just admit what is painfully (for ya'all) obvious...

More often than not, ya'all see racism where none exists....

Michale

THAT evidence was "found" when the DOJ couldn't find any malfeasance or racism in the specific incidents that prompted the investigations...

In other words, it's a case of "We have to find SOMETHING" to support a pre-determined conclusion...

Don't you find it strange that the DOJ goes in all balls to the walls to find racism in specific incidents in Sanford, in Ferguson, in Staten Island and in Cleveland but have NEVER found any racism associated with those incidents.

NEVER... NONE... ZERO... ZILCH.... NADA....

And then the DOJ casts a wider net to find SOMETHING... ANYTHING so as to save SOME semblance of face...

And the anti-cop types just eat that stuff up...

Michale

As such, they cherry pick their "facts", and often just make shit up, to "prove" a pre-determined conclusion...

Michale

Yes, there's a problem there. Media sucks on so many levels. But that cuts both ways. When the police leak to the press all sorts of stuff about the most recent dead person, leaked in order to damage that person's reputation and make their killing seem more acceptable, the media runs with that too.

Also, the evidence of exhaustive investigations show long-term abuse by law enforcement in Ferguson and Cleveland and other cities. What about that evidence?

The mindset that ties the message of the NRA to a warrior mentality (a state-centric approach) is one that says that dominance via the use of force (and violence) is the way we protect ourselves. That sets up an ugly feedback loop where the two feed off of each other. The more people are “packing,” the more police officers feel the need to be warriors. In other words, the people we ask to “protect and serve” become the people who view themselves to be at war with us.

I find that pretty stunning. I really don't know how to react to that. I guess I'll have to start polling my everyone to find out whether everyone gets that talk. It certainly never came up in my life. Although nowadays I can imagine that comes up more as people grow more fearful of the police.

And you just keep brushing off the experiences black people have -- they don't count, they aren't real, people only think they're being harassed, it's their fault...

You then recite statistics that seem to reflect your view that all this stuff is exaggerated or untrue, but don't consider where the statistics come from, who compiles them, etc. The police produce the numbers.

Do you discount the reports that came out of Ferguson and Cleveland?

What could POSSIBLY go wrong.. ?? :^/

Michale

Ya'all see how bad it's gotten???

It's now "disrespectful" and "misguided" to proclaim ALL LIVES MATTER...

What a world we live in where a racist hate group sets the tone for "civil" conversation...

60-80 years ago it was the KKK....

Today, we have the (O)BLM....

Sad.....

Michale

Well, yer the exception that emphasis the rule.. :D

But it's always nice to find common ground.. Like a little bitty pokemon flitting around reality.. :D

Michale

you're preaching to the choir on that front.

I hope you can hold your nose and read FoxNews.. :D

Sheriff Clarke knows what is what about BLM...

I'de be interested in hearing whether or not you and yours agree with him...

Michale

The violence and hate-filled messages pouring out of Black Lives Matter seek exactly this kind of bloody resolution, or revolution, though they cannot admit it in polite society. Even as celebrities clamor over themselves to demonstrate their fealty to the hate group, they align themselves with one of the most destructive groups to the well-being and justice for black Americans that exist today.
-Sheriff David Clarke

Like I said.. (O)BLM is a racist hate group..

It's very easy to prove this...

Change every "Black" mention to white..

"WHITE" POWER... ONLY "WHITE" LIVES MATTER

If a group of whites got together and spewed bile like that and more, ya'all would scream RACISM to the high heavens...

There can be absolutely NO DOUBT that (O)BLM is a racist hate group..
