They matter, of course, but the progressive elites won't dare name check them “They’re inconvenient to the industry. Some reflect poorly on President Joe Biden. Others make Hollywood denizens look like hypocrites of the highest order. The causes reveal the ideological limitations of an industry that purports to be modern-day truth tellers but acts like a Democratic Super PAC.” We’re days away from the 93rd Oscars ceremony, and we all know what that means. Progressive lectures A show that, in the best-case scenario, wraps up after three grueling hours A new, new ratings low Kids in Cages (there is more about each topic at the link) Chinese Censorship Concentration Camps Big Tech Censorship Blacklist 2.0 Businesses Crushed by Riots It’s hard to quantify how many small business owners watched their dreams go up in literal smoke since then, and the Left’s false narrative that insurance would make amends for the damages proved more Fake News.

We’re still waiting for a single celebrity to speak out on behalf of these small business owners, meaning they won’t broach the subject come Sunday. It’s worth noting this reporter directly asked eight celebrities who donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund about the plight of businesses destroyed by the protests. They chose not to reply.

This post is dumb so let’s turn this into constructive discussion. Having increased cameras on cops is a good thing. One of the things I have a hard time believing is the atrocities they commit while knowing people are filming them. Imagine what they did like 20 years ago when the cameras were not always on them.

What’s more common...this situation or the chauvin situations? Shouldn’t we be more upset with the ones that happen far more often?

Be that as it may, I did think you were painting every law enforcement officer with your broad brush, but I was hoping I was wrong. People with your mindset have been responsible for a lot of pain and misery over the years. 1

Half of the studies did not even show an decrease in police use of force, so your insinuation that most cops are changing their behavior because of cameras is false.

Seems like the cameras worked against citizens by not only being used to prosecute criminals but also preventing frivolous claims being filed against them. If only there were such a thing for doctors...
