The Observer 641 Posted June 4, 2020 Last night, Obama urged mayors across the country to review use of force policies. Hasn't been president in over three years and did more in a 10 minute Zoom address than Trump has done in over a week to settle down these protests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't really have much to do with Trump actively trying to calm things down right now. He lacks leadership in moments like this. Tweeting is worthless right now, he needs to be addressing the nation on TV. If he can't help calm the situation then he probably shouldn't be President.

Not sure how showing he had drugs in his system matters. A healthy person wouldn't have survived. It's like pointing out a person didn't survive a strangulation because they had pneumonia. I am truly grateful for Newbie for expressing what I cannot. I'm too tired to constantly ram in your brains what should be obvious. Who here has defended the actions of the Po Po in this case?

peenie 1,915 Posted June 4, 2020 There is a silence in this country. Imo, the silence is that many Americans are glad that the police are aggressive with blacks. They feel safer. They don't want to reprimand the police because they protect them and their neighborhoods. They don't understand how police tend to treat all black people harshly and over police us because they just don't experience it. It seems like we're overreacting. You just don't believe us or you do know and are happy about it because it serves your interests. The same can be said for racists in power. You don't mind them because it doesn't affect you in any negative way. You can condemn it publicly but deep down, I believe many are fully aware of the injustices but since it helps them they turn a blind eye. It easier just to say blacks are in the position they're in due to fatherless black homes or they're lazy or crime prone. And at the same time, if there were fathers in the home and a culture that demanded education, hard work and family loyalty of all our people, police brutality and racism wouldn't break us, we'd break it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you say that the police "over police us", do you mean white police officers or all police officers? It seems like in many high crime areas, there are more black officers, so they would then be complicit. Right? For example, 5 of the 6 Atlanta cops that were arrested for excessive force yesterday were black. Also, when you say, "if there were fathers in the home and a culture that demanded education, hard work and family loyalty of all our people, police brutality and racism wouldn't break us, we'd break it." I don't know what that means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a Black Violent Crime problem in this country and no one is allowed to talk about it. Young black males (age 13-40) make up about 3% of the population and are responsible for about 57% of all violent crime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,062 Posted June 4, 2020 Floyd’s family is getting 10mil+ from this, they would have killed him themselves if they knew this would be the payday. Cousins from as far back on the family tree as Adam and Eve will now be coming out of the woodwork for a slice of the pie. People will probably get hurt or killed, surely some will overdose. Make no mistake, this is the greatest thing to ever happen to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a lot of you guys love his policies and I'll give him credit for some of that but there's more to being President than just that. People tell him to shut up because he's a terrible speaker and always manages to make everything about him. He needs to have a prepared speech and address the nation to help calm things down. He can't give one of his typical rally speeches. It needs to sound like he actually cares about what's going on and cares about everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
