Chef Jim Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm shopping for a nice quiet island somewhere. Hopefully I could come back when all is well. No kidding. We have a boatload of money in equity in our house after only 4 years. I told the wife we could live for 10 years on that on some quiet island. She said then what? We jump off a cliff?? No then we start to draw from SS and our retirement. D'uh....it's what I do for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Neither does CNN. You're simply not going to get anything but a narrative from any of the news agencies. The headlines alone make my stomach turn every morning. I've tried everything from AP to Reuters, and it simply is all a lost cause. Absolutely no one is interested in reporting the news...only what they want you to read. This is the problem , just stir the pot to bring in viewers , never mind the facts, This will get innocent people and police killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Not sure if you are all aware of the Pokemon Go hype. I am hearing about it and seeing people playing it everywhere I go. I thought this story about a black man who thinks he is at higher risk if he goes outside to play the game and therefore it counts as additional "white privilege." suited this thread. http://archive.is/3M3Ww This is how far the media is spreading this fear and misinformation. The premise of Pokemon GO asks me to put my life in danger if I chose to play it as it is intended and with enthusiasm. Let’s just go ahead and add Pokemon GO to the extremely long list of things white people can do without fear of being killed, while Black people have to realistically be wary.

reddogblitz Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Finally! THIS. Our problem is an economic problem not a race issue. While racism is part of our problems Read much? Do you think economics plays no part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All idiots now have a forum to spew their ignorance and hatred fanning the flames and pushing us all further apart. We're scroomed. (screwed/doomed) Twitter is the worst. Nobody can make a cogent argument in 140 characters. It is so liberal and #blacktwitter dominates it so much. I think conservatives are mostly afraid to post, because whatever they say, they'll be called out and their bosses will be told to fire them. I think most of the police traffic stops for tail lights being out are basically police fishing expeditions. I don't have statistics so am not really sure but I've long suspected these are a part of the war on drugs. The officer gets to shine the flashlight inside the vehicle and looks for other violations. Let's face it, a burned out tail light is not all that dangerous to the public. I am sure their in-car software could be altered to simply generate a postcard with a warning. Maybe it would be a good idea to curtail these types of stops. Might it be time to create fewer of these interactions with guns so available and officers so edgy? I am not advocating for not stopping suspicious vehicles, but perhaps it is not the best atmosphere for fishing expeditions Yup, if they made pot legal, this would all go away.

Bob in Mich Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Well, it is pretty obvious that the 'war on drugs' has become a large wedge between police and public. The war on drugs have allowed more and more infringements on rights over time. What infringements? - stop and frisk policing - traffic stops that are actually fishing expeditions are essentially illegal searches - traffic checkpoints are essentially illegal searches - asset forfeiture with respect to drug raids has gotten out of control. Police now rely on these funds causing conflict of interest. - no knock swat team raids on suspected cannabis grow operations endanger citizens needlessly - etc. Say anything concerning gun control and this site sprouts tens of constitutional scholars. They don't seem to speak about these other rights violations though. I have read here lots of times, 'if it doesn't affect me directly, I don't care'. Have you heard the protest chant, 'No Justice, No Peace!' ?? The injustices allowed in our war on drugs are coming back around. Perhaps folks should be more concerned when they see injustice affecting others around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Obama Invites Radical #BlackLivesMatter Leader to White House After His Arrest Last Weekend by Jim Hoft Original Article DeRay McKesson was a lead full-time paid protester in Ferguson, Missouri during the mass riots and looting. He later became a lead activist in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray riots and looting. (Photo at link) DeRay McKesson and the other Ferguson and Baltimore protest leaders were trained in Soros-funded agitation.

Sig1Hunter Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The shooting of Gilbert Flores is certainly questionable in the article linked by B-man. It boggles my mind why the proponents of the anti-police movement don't hang their hats on those cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, if they made pot legal, this would all go away. Twitter is the old saying about a lie getting all the way around the world while the truth is putting it's boots on on steroids. We don't have a racial disparity in marijuana arrests in my state. 0 to 0. And somehow the state hadn't gone to hell with all the crazy pot heads running around making kids smoke it. No one thing can fix racism and the friction with the polive. Legalizing weed would help though. Black people NOT getting arrested for weed have less reason to hate cops. Or white people for that matter. Edited July 16, 2016 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are believing it, and it is making them dangerous. There is no police brutality epidemic in this country. Are there cases of injustice? Yes, and they should be investigated.
