The video didn't play.  Hmm.  A lot like no republican senators seemed to see Trump's photo op with the bible in front of the church, tear-gassing peaceful protesters.


I don't like Trump, duh.

I don't like Biden, either.  But I'll say again, I would take a citizen chosen at random over our current president.  I'd take any of you over him.  

Well I explained that it was an actual question already, so he can go take his nap. 


Let's get snarky:  COVID victimizes the elderly at a severe rate?  Damn, there goes 100,000+ republican votes, down the drain.  Trump must not be good at math.

Snark is not a good thing if you want your respondents to respond respectfully.
It tends to beget more snark instead.

It's been my experience that if I stand toe-to-toe with officers and shout at them, I get my ass kicked

no, I was not protesting the past few evenings

back in my youth, I fought the law,........ and the law won.

while at school in chicago I loved the cops.  Seemed to focus on bigger issues and not worried about some college kids.  Always had good interactions with them.

In missouri.. it's a mixed bag.  Some are great.  Others spit chew down your door when pulling you and your family over for doing 45 in a 35 while holding the butt of his gun (still at his side) and basically defining a napoleon complex.   I've come to the conclusion that either through training or practice many cops escalate in order to show dominance.    i'm not suggesting it is easy being a cop.   No... walking up to a car not knowing if they will shoot or not has to be stressful.   But I think given a chance to diffuse, many choose aggression.

Are you talking to me?
So, you imply that I am a liar, but then in another breath demand that all posters treat you respectfully?
How is that working for you?

OK.  But what you're saying is that the Kansas City cops mistreated a black protester while the Michigan State Police allowed far more leeway to white protesters.  Maybe the Kansas City P.D. is just a sort of wild-west/yayhoo police force while the Michigan State Police force is not.

could be..

no.  I was just comparing the two.

Probably around a decade ago, I was having a discussion about problems in society and how to fix.  I was asked by a white friend if I would trade places with a black man.  It hit me.. I wouldn't.  It evolved my thoughts.  Many people have hard lives....  Some have  it easy... regardless of race.  But it was thought provoking.

Do you remember the 1961 book Black Like Me?

A white journalist from Texas successfully disguised himself as a black guy and traveled through the South in 1959.  It was an eye-opening experience for him.

I never read it.   I bet it would be eye-opening.
