How long are conservatives going to pretend that this isn’t an issue, while claiming the real issue is black on black violence? Democrats tried to pass the George Floyd act which might have helped prevent this sort of thing, but Republicans stopped it. Donald Trump is campaigning on giving police unfettered power and immunity against being charged for this sort of activity. Which side are you on?

Ever since the liberals have put themselves in black peoples business things have not improved for black people. Schools are worse than ever, committing crimes at a higher rate, also being victimized at a higher rate. Cities are filthy and in disrepair. More fatherless children. It’s almost as if they want them to be at odds with the police. This way the police catch the blame, not the architects.

I know you dislike when science disagrees with your beliefs, but Harvard economist Roland Fryer (a black man) showed that there was no police bias in police shootings. There is however bias in non-lethal force. This study hurt his career btw. Colleagues suggested he bury it. Not the right woke message. I wonder how many other such studies meet such a fate? Abstract: This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force –officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings.

A+++++ Not filling every hole but feels like they are hitting with the options they have at positions of need.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

In Brad Holmes i trust

I'm old but never understood the appeal

Lots of people live with cats, boyo. They're common household pets, and I'm proud of our foster work, for which you lack the heart and empathy to comprehend, because you grew up dumb and poor. And I make more money in a year than you did in 10 while chasing mall shoplifters on your Segway.

they've generally moved on to genocide

words have definitions, I know you psychopath leftists like to change definitions like they don't mean anything, but you are wrong

You don't fish. You troll

Again? That sucks. RIP

He saved Mandela from the gallows. Then he took a shower with his 10 year old daughter to relax. One of those was true.

His commentary is crassic

If you can talk you can breathe. Nuff said

Except of course, the only people celebrating Ashley Babbit's death is Dozer POS, you and the rest of your side. HTH.

Here is a good opinion piece by a Jewish student at Yale explaining why he is taking part in the protests: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/27/opinions/yale-student-palestinian-protests-berlin/index.html

No, we have bootlicking leftist morons saying Trump wants to be a dictator. The context is the exact opposite. Trump wants to destroy the corrupt chains that out institutions have bound the American citizens with. Trump wants to free the American people from the authoritarian state with their rogue government instituitions and their corporate monopoly minions which has used fear to erect the infrastructure to spy on and control its citizens 24/7. That is the context you fuking lying dufuss.

hes ok, will be back 4/28 suspended

He either got ip banned or.... I'm hoping this thread entices him to chime in.
