The Jacob Blake shooting troubles me. Both because I see it as a case where excessive force seems to have been used and the social reactions that followed. I've listened and read comments and statements from various sources from sports personalities to people on the street. Most seem to be saying they believe motivating factor behind the police shooting the suspect was his race. And if all other things were equal and the encounter with the police was exactly the same and the suspect was white they would not have shot him. Is that really the majority view of the African-American community? My conclusion is they would have shot the suspect under those circumstances if he was White or Asian or Hispanic, or Native American. It wouldn't have mattered. And I base this conclusion on statistics that report the number of police shootings where the most common race of the suspect shot is white. Along with this I've seen interviews where black's are asked to provide a number of how many black and white suspects police shoot. The answers do not correlate to the actual data, they are way, way off. Why is the perception of the community so far away from the actual statistics? And if police presence in the community is a problem why do recent surveys report that African-Americans responses reported that 81% of those surveyed want the same amount of police patrols or more? This guy was yielding a knife, he was white, the cops were right there and they just let him be. 1 hour ago, Doc said: Those 2 guys were racist POS's but it's not even close to the same thing. Had they actually gone after anyone, the cops would have taken them down. This. Yes, the racist was threatening people with a knife, nothing happened even with police right there. Had that been a black guy threatening white people he would have a ticket on his toe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he continues to outright lie to people, not with different lies, but the exact same lie puts the onus on the morons who continue to believe him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden isn’t tough on crime, he’s confused what to do about it. Kamala isn’t though. She’ll lock you up for anything, with or w/o a DNA test.

Crime Bill speech on the floor in 1993 (on c-span where he said he was one of the primary architects of the sentencing committee), 27 years later, Joe has apparently "evolved" and cannot bring himself to condemn the rioting and looting in the Democratic cities. Why can Biden not come out and ask the rioters and looters to stop? Why doesn't Joe come out and ask Ted Wheeler and Kate Brown to request Trump activate the National Guard? If he is not soft on crime, he is soft on anarchists, rioters, and looters, instead encouraging that behavior with his silence. Maybe that would be more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems is the crime bill he sponsored treated 5 time drug users similar to murderers. It was "tough on crime" but not the kind that helps out communities.

Using the term Gestapo makes light of the millions of victims that suffered at the hands of the real Gestapo. You know the one that operated in a nation where no dissenting speech was allowed at all. The nation where no due process was allowed. Get back to me about the Gestapo when the media is one hundred percent gagged in its criticism of Trump. When the courts become predetermined appendages of the rulers. You are an idiot! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
