I am looking for something more than completely unsupported supposition based upon the outcome of a white officer killing a black suspect, yes. Would it have to be an admission by the officer, a very unlikely scenario, no it would not, but I would want something more than just the outcome. Maybe some history of animus against blacks. Maybe some racially charged statement just prior to the shooting or suffocation, maybe membership in a racially charged organization, something.

Black and gunned down, yes, but gunned down for being black, that seems an unsupported supposiiton. Maybe he was gunned down for being male. Maybe he was gunned down for surprising the officer and race and/or sex had nothing to do with it.

Hmmm, Sam Briton or Kristi Noem. I'll take Kristi Noem, thanks.

Sarah Palin backed aerial hunting of wolves. Why do hot republican governors like shooting canids?

It didn't hurt Atticus Finch's reputation to shoot a dog. I guess Gov. Noem is no Atticus Finch. Of course Atticus shot a rabid dog.

I think you have gotten stories conflated. Trump has a mushroon d1ck, not a tater one.

Well semi-secret anyways.

But he is not arguing for it using a double negative.

Indeed. So I have read, though I suspect rather than becoming desensitized they became aroused.

A mistake I have made myself, and more than once.

Wrong thread.

Seems to me the stock has been volatile and is risky and seems wholly unconnected to its inherent value. I think of myself as having a high tolerance for risk, but this stock exceeds my tolerance level.

If you want to curtail these types of encounters you ought to teach black youths to submit peacefully to arrests, not to freak out, argue, resist, or cry out for help when they are not in distress but they foolishly think that escalating the situation will inure to their benefit. Teach these black youth to submit and to follow directions while their friends film the encounter and call a law firm they have already vetted and have in their phones, a lawfirm that deals with criminal defense and civil rights litigation. Propagating the myth of institutional racism only leads to ignorant and counterproductive responses to police encounters. Some here support creating the myth that most encounters will end badly which results in behavior that leads to bad outcomes. I submit the Tims of the world cause more harm than good. Well intentioned ignorance often does.

You have to marinate them to tenderize them. Still they are a bit stringy and need a bit of salt. They make a good adobo.

What if the experience of LEO is that nealry all of their black arrestees since George Floyd immediately go to the "I can't breath" gambit?

Groups concentrated in poor parts of cities are subject to greater police interaction. It stands to reason that rural folks down long dark roads come into contact with police significantly less than folks on stoops in the city or walking down busy city streets patrolled by cops. Some groups have a strong ethos against calling the cops on other members of thier group, some enjoy the power and drama of doing so, appealing to authority to back them up in a dispute resulting in arrest. All groups have the option of cooperating or at least acquiesing, or resisting or fleeing. There seems to be a culteral disparity in which paradigm is adopted by groups and that explains disparity in outcomes. There is an element of self-fulfiling prophecy in police interactions. Groups that believe the outcome will be extremely negative are likely to be nervous during police interactions and more likely, therefore, to react in ways which lead to bad outcomes. This is a self-reinforcing negative mechanism difficult to eliminate as it allows partisans to blame the other side for how things are. Some, a very few, but still some cops are bad cops, even racists who should never have been hired to enforce the law. The problems are not institutional, they are not in training or policies or directives or sanctioned practice, they are anomalies, dangerous anomalies.

I wonder how close they will get to me before they cross over to avoid me.

Quick google search shows 5 shelters in the state. I am not sure of the morality of putting a vicious dog up for adoption. Of course the discription is more of an untrained dog than a vicious dog, a stupid and excitable pup though the allegation is that after kiling some chickens it also nipped Noem. My wife, a city girl (My grandmother would have called her a painted up city woman) gets emotional about these things. When our pets have come to end of life and it is clear they are suffering and need to be put down she cannot do it. Even though they are her pets and my daughters pets neither is capable of doing what they have decided must be done. Because they are emotional about it I took those animals to the vet and had them "humanely" put down while holding them, 1 dog and three cats so far and the fourth cat is 15 so presumably that will happen again in the next year or two. The charge each time is over $100. To me that is a waste of money when a cartridge is much cheaper. Still, so they don't have the image of me blowing away their pets in their heads I pay the fee and don't discuss my upbringing and what we did on the farm.

Couldn't hold a candle to Black Jack Lanza.

Pretty happy with the Packers so far. I would have loved to see them get Braelon Allen as I think at 20 he will get a bit bigger and a bit faster in the next two years, but the homer pick aside they seem to have added some guys who can play and others that can drive current players to new heights to keep their jobs. Pretty successful dracft while yet again, for the third decade, pretty cobnsistently drafting in the mid to late 20's and 30's.

Difficult to discuss this with a person who does not understand the definition of "institutionalized".

A conspiracy refers to an agreement between two or more people to commit an unlawful act, or to deprive another person of his legal rights. The agreement to act must be moved toward a conclusion, whether or not it is actually accomplished. A conspiracy may exist when the parties use legal means to accomplish an illegal result, or to use illegal means to accomplish a legal act.

Because the roads are not designed to hold cars at that speed and because you lack the training and judgment to drive at that speed and even if you don't care about endangering your life you are endangering the lives of others. Take it to a track.

I have killed animals on the farm including a dog, some cats, a few racoons, a fox, hundreds of rats, a horse and a heifer. Rabies and injuries were the most common reason. Troubling the chickens was the next most common reason. Worrying the cows the least common reason but the most serious reason. The cats, well they sometimes get stepped on by the cows and they need to be put down. The other animals listed all got taken care of by a firearm. The cats with broken backs or nearly severed limbs, well those got dispatched by whatever was to hand, a spade, a hammer, a bit of two by four, whatever. I remember being emotionally upset the first time I saw my grandfather dispatch a dog that was worrying our cows. I was maybe 4. He had warned the owner, a neighbor, several times. The dog got into the pasture again. The dog was just playing, but its play was to run around dairy cows each worth thousands of dollars and each potentially losing milk production from being run and being freightened. My grandfather nonchalantly walked into his office in the milking barn, grabbed his 30.06, and shot that dog from a standing and unsupported position at around 300 yards. Gramps was an exceptionally good shot. Over the years I rapidly became desensitized to killing animals, even those I knew well, even pets that had come to the end of their lives. We did not take old dogs who were sick to the vet, we took them out back. Animals were animals. Chickens that had stopped laying became dinner, we particpated in helping the neighbor castgrate lambs and we killed and butchered a few lambs as our reward. We hunted rabbit, whitetail, geese, duck, pheasants. We fished. Occasionally grandpa would buy a steer from a feed lot and we would help in butchering that.
