    Huh?  I believe I just said that if that department has a problem, it should be corrected.  How does that make it, as you say, an "American problem"?  Each Police Department (just like any private company) is only as good as the people who work for it, and lead it.  The Bills were in the AFC Championship Game this year. The uniforms and logo look pretty much the same as they did a few years back.  So what changed?  Answer: the people who run the team and wear the uniforms.  Nothing more complicated than that.

    A New York Times examination after the death of George Floyd found that while black people make up 19 percent of the Minneapolis population and 9 percent of its police, they were on the receiving end of 58 percent of the city’s police use-of-force incidents.

     

    A massive study published in May 2020 of 95 million traffic stops by 56 police agencies between 2011 and 2018 found that while black people were much more likely to be pulled over than whites, the disparity lessens at night, when police are less able to distinguish the race of the driver. The study also found that blacks were more likely to be searched after a stop, though whites were more likely to be found with illicit drugs. The darker the sky, the less pronounced the disparity between white and black motorists. The study also found that in states that had legalized marijuana, the racial disparity narrowed but was still significant.

     

    An August 2019 study published by the National Academy of Sciences based on police-shooting databases found that between 2013 and 2018, black men were about 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police, and that black men have a 1-in-1,000 chance of dying at the hands of police. Black women were 1.4 more times likely to be killed than white women. Latino men were 1.3 to 1.4 times more likely to be killed than white men. Latino women were between 12 percent and 23 percent less likely to be killed than white women.

     

    A 2019 study of police stops in Cincinnati found that black motorists were 30 percent more likely to be pulled over than white motorists. Black motorists also comprised 76 percent of arrests following a traffic stop despite making up 43 percent of the city’s population. It’s worth noting, again, that multiple studies have shown that searches of white motorists are slightly more likely to turn up contraband than searches of black motorists.

     

     

    I could do this all day, or you could just attempt to educate yourself.  it's not just this PD or that PD it's rampant and systematic all across the nation.

    Let me guess....you think our laws against theft are there to protect white people's privilege? 

    In 88 percent of the cases in which the department used force, it was against African Americans. In all of the 14 canine-bite incidents for which racial information was available, the person bitten was African American.

    In Ferguson court cases, African Americans are 68 percent less likely than others to have their cases dismissed by a municipal judge, according to the Justice review. In 2013, African Americans accounted for 92 percent of cases in which an arrest warrant was issued.

    If what you say is true, then shouldn't the Ferguson Police Force work on the correcting the problem? Do you know that they haven't? What does it have to do with any other police force?  Policing is a local issue.  So long as there is a way to get some outside oversight after if/when an incident occurs then we would know the system works....no?

    I'm assuming you haven't read any of the report on the Ferguson PD.  It's a perfect example of systemic racism, basically the handbook for it.  Instead of charging people, they gave them money to resign.  America has a problem, and people being mad about kneeling football players isn't going to help a GD thing.

    Folks want to argue about state-by-state policies and how effective lax vs stringent policies were when in reality the US as a whole just needed to be more united in our efforts to lower infection rates.

     

    Living in a state with strict policies I can attest that folks stubbornly walked around without masks or social distancing and they were vocal about it being a political statement.

     

    So hard to blame policies for failure when Americans don't have the grit or will to follow them.

     

    My concern has always been mutations that would make Covid-19 more transmissable and/or lethal.

     

    The more infections circulating the more opportunities for the virus to evolve...it is just a simple numbers game with random mutations.

     

    We have heard of variants arising from countries with poor pandemic containment, UK variants, Brazil variants, and now the "California" US variant?

     

    Study links the dramatic rise in cases in CA the past few months to a new more deadly variant...will likely account up to 90% of cases by the end of next month.

     

    https://ktla.com/news/california/the-devil-is-already-here-coronavirus-variant-in-california-looks-increasingly-dangerous/

     

    Is what it is.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Mutant strains are why all the idiots making political statements need to stfu, and be vigilant.  The longer you cry about masks, social distancing, and vaccines is more time for the virus to mutate.  If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

  5. Does anyone really believe that big Michael Brown thought he could go full Nero from The Matrix from 35 feet away, and dodge all the bullets until he got to the cop?  Not to mention his pants had fallen halfway down.  So it was basically Nero in a potato sack.  He was also supposedly reaching at his waistband(which wasn't even at his waist) for a gun that wasn't there.  Also, the Ferguson police force was overtly racist(it's well documented), so if anyone was stoking racism, it was them.  What is egregious is completely ignoring that fact.  Also, wasn't it perfectly fine for Trump to make statements that completely went against everything his CIA, DOJ, and FBI had found to be 'facts', but when Warren and Harris do it, they're in the wrong?  That's hypocrisy

    Senator seeks probe of natural gas price spikes during storm


    Natural gas spot prices spiked as high as 100 times typical levels, forcing utilities and other natural gas users to incur exorbitant costs

     

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/senator-seeks-probe-of-natural-gas-price-spikes-during-storm

    This is also in the article:  The Biden administration and Congress should consider financial support to utilities and customers “that may be facing a cash crunch or rate increases as a result of the spike in natural gas prices,'' Smith said.

     

    I'll bet that damn socialist Biden does it, too.

    Right.

     

    The Left is also into killing small business. There's that.

    This is how your boy Trump and Mnutia helped small businesses:   — An Associated Press investigation has found that scores of Roman Catholic dioceses in the U.S. had more than $10 billion in cash and other readily available funds when they received at least $1.5 billion from the federal government’s small business emergency relief program. The Paycheck Protection Program was intended for employers who were badly battered by coronavirus lockdowns. Instead of suffering financially, however, many dioceses are reporting in audited financial statements that these assets ended up growing during the economic downturn. Overall, Catholic Church recipients were perhaps the paycheck program’s biggest beneficiaries. Church officials say they needed government relief to pay staff because donations from the faithful slowed when churches were ordered to close.

     

    Just curious, do you Trumpanzies ever get tired of being pwned.  I'd imagine it's exhausting.

    On October 15th, Biden said he had a plan...yet we never heard what it was. You'd think someone that had a plan to help with the pandemic would have been a little more forthcoming or was he OK with people dying at the hands of the big, bad orange man?

     

    Biden never had a plan. He still doesn't......

    Wow.  Fascinating.

     

    You should read about the death, destruction, carnage, bloodshed, and devastation conducted roughly 60 years before this in order to end slavery forever.

    Oh, I actually know a lot about the war which lost the same amount of Americans as this just a flu that's going to magically go away by Easter.  Now if we can just work on making racism go away forever.  BTW, do you think anyone deserves a cookie for righting a wrong???  The word we use to describe that is actually shame.

    I didn't understand your first paragraph.


    At all.

     

    And where is the source for the rest, or are those your own words?

    Trump was limiting Biden's team access to most federal resources, because he didn't want to concede.  IOW, Biden couldn't get a head start.  

     

    They are Biden's remarks at the National Institute of Health just like it says.

    Whatever it takes.  Not that there was ever going to be a conviction no matter when the trial occurred.

    We've learned that impeachment is pretty much useless.  Even if it's a strong case, it's going to be a mostly partisan vote.  That bodes well for any president who would like to do whatever he wants.  They said you can't charge a sitting president with a crime, because that's what impeachment is for.  I guess you add this all up it means a president has immunity to act with impunity.  Pretty sad.

    It's really too bad that Trump wouldn't allow Biden's team access, because he was selling his won by a landslide BS instead.  

     

     

    President Biden announced Thursday his administration has finalized an order for 200 million more doses of COVID-19 vaccine to be delivered by July 2021, adding to the 400 million doses that the Trump administration had already ordered from Pfizer and Moderna by that date. The two drug companies both produce a two-shot regimen, so the total 600 million doses will vaccinate 300 million people — most of the U.S. population.

    "Within three weeks, round-the-clock work of so many people, people standing behind me and in front of me, we've now purchased enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all Americans and now we're working to get those vaccines in the arms of millions of people," Mr. Biden said in remarks at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

    This all  has happened before in 1976.  All of it.  The lockdowns are a new wrinkle in 2020 but otherwise, the big vaccine push feels familiar.  The government's 1976 swine flu immunization program even had it's own Dr. Fauci "personality."  The government, healthcare infrastructure (and media) don't care about the couple broken eggs in making the omelet.  They know there will be broken eggs.  They expect deaths and disabilities as a result of vaccine administration.  It just sucks if you end up being one of those broken eggs.  Nobody is coming to rescue you.

     

    They learned from that experience and that's why you have blanket immunity, vaccine "court" and the all to routine 100% denial that a vaccine could ever possibly harm you past a sore arm.  

    I'm going to need a little more evidence than 'guy who was gonna die soon anyways dies soon after receiving vaccine'.  All vaccines carry a risk.

    If the Repubs take back the House, look for Kammy to be impeached.

    Somebody has been listening to his girl Lindsey.  lol

    One problem with his statement.  He called them rioters, when they haven't even been to court yet.  They're ALLEGED rioters.  Another problem, Thanks for the heads up.  Now the Biden criminal enterprise can add Kamala to its list of pardons when it comes time to pardon all his criminal buddies.

    One of the mysteries of 2020 style politics is the veneration of JFK by Trump Republicans, particularly those who are Q-inspired.

    Kennedy was the ultimate Cold Warrior. Trump loves that powerful, powerful little former Soviet KGB man hell-bent on restoring some manner of the Russian/Soviet empire. JFK pretty clearly likely won the presidency through the type of electoral fraud that Trump continued to harp on regarding the 2020 election, which showed no evidence of anything similar. JFK relished the quasi-royal trappings of the White House and rose to power through some shady dealings of his family. But that's where the Trump comparisons begin and end. One served honorably in the military; the other, well, he got bone spurs.

    Sling Blade's Carl Childers can confirm, "bone spurs shore can hurt mmm hmmm".

    Deadliest attacks on police in the last 100 years

     

    Amid a month of racial conflict and gun violence, at least three police officers were killed in Baton Rouge Sunday, adding to the tally of law enforcement officials slain in the line of duty in 2016.

     

    Before Sunday’s shooting, 60 line-of-duty deaths had occurred in the USA this year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Twenty-eight of the fatalities were firearm-related, a 56% increase from firearm-related fatalities at this point in 2015.

     

    Just 10 days before Baton Rouge, five Dallas police officers were killed in what was the greatest loss of life for law enforcers since 9/11.

     

    Though rare, these attacks are not the first time police officers have been targeted. Here is a look at some of the deadliest attacks on  law enforcement officers in the last 100 years:

     

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/07/17/deadliest-attacks-police-last-100-years/87222472/

     

     

    You know what else sane Americans knew was rare at the time and still to this day? That Black people are "hunted" by police every time they leave their house.  

     

    I'm sorry LeBron felt that way growing up.  And still to this day for some reason.  

     

    It's just not 1897 anymore.  Just because the Fake Media hypes up and plays up every single time a black person is shot by police (a number that had been decreasing for years) does not make it the norm, and it doesn't make all cops let alone all white people racist.  

     

    Sane Americans know this.  Unfortunately we don't have many of those left.  

     

    If there was a problem between Minneapolis police and the community, I don't know.  Maybe that liberal hole in the ground should have been addressing it in the decades the Democrats have run it.

     

    But here has always been the truth.  The Democrats don't care.  Racial violence is good for the party.  Same reason they don't care about illegal immigration.  Good for the party.   

     

    And Americans Black and White suffer for it.  

    Oh goodie we're going back 100 years.  That means we can just get the Greenwood riot from 1921 in.  Racism wasn't quite as rare then, I guess  Here's a discussion about it:  

    Scott Pelley: How many people were arrested, tried, for what happened in Greenwood?

    John W. Franklin: No one. 

    Scott Pelley: Two or 300 people murdered, an entire community burned to the ground, and the police were unable to find a single person.

    John W. Franklin: It's a real tragedy.

    John W. Franklin: All the thousands of claims that were filed by African Americans, not a one, not a one insurance company paid their claim. And our church was included.

    No insurance honored for black Tulsans, no arrests made, no complete count of the dead. The Salvation Army recorded only that it fed 37 grave diggers. The nameless were buried in unmarked graves while their families were locked down in the internment camps.

    Scott Pelley: I wonder if there are any doubts in this room about whether there are mass graves in Tulsa, Oklahoma. No doubts?

    Your therapist has appointments open this week I’m sure.  You can tell them that for a few moments you were confronted with reality and that it was very scary.  I’m sure you’ll get a lollipop and be reassured that you’re a big boy.

    Figured after they shut down nutbar Parler, you'd get your memes elsewhere.   I'm just really not good at facing opposing views that I just blew out of the water with FACTS.  The real gold of your post was the cheering on part.  Kinda funny you'd falsely accuse Democrats of that right after Trump just got caught doing it during his insurrection.

    Yet by several accounts, it is being investigated.  Here are three links. So I'm not sure what you're saying there about a message getting out.  There's news reporting, and there's editorializing/opining.  Too many times the two lines get blurred these days -- both ways. I wouldn't single out one source of opinion.

    I agree with this.  And the LAPD incident you pointed to was called out. None of us would have heard about it if it wasn't called out. 

     

    Seems like the LAPD is investigating and probably the people involved will be disciplined.  At least they should.  I'm sure there are a lot of people looking for something to come of the investigation.


     

    The message we were talking about was the defund the police message.

     

    ...and yes, one officer did bring this to light.  It would be great if it turns out he is white.  The larger problem is many times fellowship takes a back seat to people doing the right thing.  It reminds me of Michael J. Fox in 'Casualties of War'.  It's often easier to just look the other way
