No I don't. They are exactly the same. Conservatives wanted to boycott Disney because they would not go along with their demands to stop recognizing gay people. Trump wanted the NFL boycotted because he wanted the NFL to be on his side. These are two sides of the exact same coin, and your partisanship does not allow you to see it.

Some Republicans wanted to boycott Disney when it had a gay pride day. They wanted to boycott the NFL. And on and on. Quit pretending that political pressure on corporations is one sided.

I agree about mobs not destroying cities. As well as US Capitols.

What I’m saying is building trust is a two way street.

When you say the police only show up to a radio call, that is what I'm talking about with respect to re-establishing trust. I think police should be out in communities during times of non-confrontation, establishing relationships in the community.

I see your point, and would agree somewhat, but when I talk to friends that are black their point is that when they do what you say, such as obey commands and such, they still feel threatened. I think the soldier who got threatened by 2 policemen just because they did not see his temporary plate is a prime example. As a white man that would not have happened to me. I agree with the general idea of not stimulating more conflict by running from the police etc. But police trying also needs to emphasize de-escalation methods as well as better physical restraint methods. I still think it is ridiculous that for young Mr. Wright that 3 police officers could not physically restrain one kid without having to use what turned out to be a gun and not a Taser. Ultimately this comes down to a lack of trust on both sides, which leads to fear on both sides. Black men and women fear they will be shot when confronted by police, police feel they will be shot by a black man. If I were running the show I’d focus on rebuilding trust; have neighborhood policing, have officers visit schools and such to establish rapport. I’d be telling black clergy to emphasize family ties and working with instead of against police. A lot to be done, but the verdict yesterday says that, at least in this case, justice can prevail.

I see your point.

Looking at the tape, this is one where the officer has to make a split second decision. He doesn't shoot odds are the girl with the knife kills the other kid. It's not at all like kneeling on a guy's neck for 9 some minutes. Again a split second decision. He either does something or the girl stabs another kid. This is why policing is a tremendously difficult profession and why I stand behind law enforcement. The taser may not have stopped it, he could have been stabbed, etc.

Too early to tell. You have to see who is getting picked earlier in round 1.

I stand with the police. And part of that stance is to have bad policemen like this guy held to account for his crimes. Justice was served yesterday.

Actually I was in his cousin’s wedding....,

I don’t know what it is, I don’t watch it.

Not surprising

I believe Fox refers to his show as entertainment and not news. Blame them, right?

He is an entertainer. That's what Fox had to claim to avoid a lawsuit as I recall.

There is no debate. He’s their guy.

Mold spores are around 3-30 microns in diameter and your mask pores were likely larger than that, thus not filtered as effectively. The difference between your mold situation and that of Covid is that the main route of transmission of Covid is through larger droplets and aerosols which are captured more readily by masks. The mold spores are released as individual spores and not in droplet form. When you have thousands of people, i.e. the public, dying from gunshots every year across the country what would you call it?

A big fat tub of goo for the interior of the D line

I could post rebuttals as well as do my own to this article. It ignores the fact that the virus is spread primarily by droplets and aerosols and not as free virus. It ignores that the studies of hypoxia involve only N95 masks. And so on. But you have made it abundantly clear you don’t care about actual science and want to wallow in self-pity.

Nonsense

I agree with the latter. Question: do you think that every one of these mass shooters over the past decade or so would have failed a background check?

How would you limit the ability of this kid in Indy to shoot dozens of bullets in a minute? You don’t see that as a problem?

Vaccines are improved with time such as the mRNA vaccines.

Need to get a handle on that for sure. There are so many things that could be done. The absolutist positions paralyze any progress.

No I don’t. Is that because you rapidly change magazines? Then perhaps we focus on changing that aspect.
