I cringe every time I see the comparisons. Ditto for the Obama "indoctrination camp" nonsense.

Come on... This is like lowering the sheep into the TRex enclosure
Sorry, should have tagged your alt instead...Come on... This is like lowering the sheep into the TRex enclosure
And Joe Biden is a stupid old man.Corey Booker is real puss.
He's always been a gaffe machine, so yeah.And Joe Biden is a stupid old man.Corey Booker is real puss.
Yup...climate change is no joke.
Sadly, not surprising. I respect how difficult that job is, but unfortunately it draws a big portion of people that most of us wouldn't want anywhere near a position of authority. I've said it before....high school jocks and bullies.https://www.npr.org/2019/06/19/73424121 ... cial-media
Seems like one could draw the conclusion that racist people go into police work because they want to live out some racist fantasies.
Well said. You want to drive a deep wedge between black people and (especially) poor white people even further? Because reparations seems like a great way to do that.Black people don’t need another apology. We need safer neighborhoods and better schools. We need a less punitive criminal justice system. We need affordable health care. And none of these things can be achieved through reparations for slavery...
Reparations by definition are only given to victims, so the moment you give me reparations, you’ve made me into a victim without my consent. Not just that, you’ve made 1/3 of black Americans who poll against reparations into victims without their consent, and black Americans have fought too long for the right to define themselves to be spoken for in such a condescending manner.
Yes, humanity is fragile. I feel bad for the next generations as these changes to the climate cause mass upheaval.Yup...climate change is no joke.
Honestly, if you think about how wild the Earth is in terms of how much it changes, you realize just how fragile our existence is here. I mean, the last Ice Age ended 12,000 years ago, with glaciers stretching as far south as Middle America. That is like a second ago in the history of the Earth.
The logistics of direct reparations would be....complicated to say the least.https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video ... ictim.html

I also think there are too many former military members that become police officers.Sadly, not surprising.

There's a handful of people in this thread who would be disqualified for the job because of their postings here.Sadly, not surprising.

Preponderance:If anything, the preponderance of racist cops should probably reflect the preponderance of racism as a whole.
That's all I ask. Thank you.I think most cops are decent people trying to do their best, but the notion that the job doesn't also attract power hungry dadholes is naive at best. There is not a preponderance of cops who are racist, but there are more than there should be. There is not a preponderance of cops who think their badge and gun give them the right to treat citizens (of all races) like crap, but there are more than there should be. There is not a preponderance of cops who shoot first and worry about the consequences (in the rare instance that there are any) later, but there are more than there should be.
