the movie I mentioned upthread, Irresistible, actually takes this concept, and builds a hilarious story around it.  Check it out. It is an equal opportunity offender- it doesn’t care what party you are.

Is this a serious question?
Is that a serious answer?

I hear a lot of jargon, not much by way of serious practicable proposals.  

It seems to be "police stop killing unarmed black people", which of course is a rare event as compared with other sources of death.

If police somehow did that, gangs would still persist.

The details on that shooting are almost nonexistent.  One or two people apparently opened fire on the car, no reason given, occupants were black.  They drove into the wrong neighborhood, no reasons given, wrong these days anyway, it used to be an OK place if you needed gas or a burger.

The APD has been emasculated from taking any kind of aggressive action against people setting up "armed camps", maybe that will change now.  The mayor, who gives a nice speech, is making some serious mistakes in my view.

They all are. Speech after speech, saying the same BS they were saying 60 years ago. How long is enough time of failed policies, for people to demand real changes in leadership?

Another 60 years? 80 years?

People can "demand" real changes in leadership all they want, but they don't vote for it, ever.  They think they do at times, but the country is not designed for "real changes" quickly.  It doesn't happen.  The people don't really want it, generally speaking.

The vast majority of us are fairly "comfortable" in our lives.  We react to news about what happens to others.

Dealing with widespread segregation and poverty quickly gets you into talk about reparations, which is fairly unpopular among the whites.

Reparations would be very difficult to manage, I think, in terms of who qualifies.

Universal income is at least more practicable, I think.

Nah.  They are not accountable to facts.  At all. The very thing they are supposed to hold society to, which is a clear and reflective mirror, is now an orchestrated and distorted picture that suits whatever they desire society to see.

that’s why a majority of citizens do not trust them, and many no longer trust them at all.
HB, it was a joke about basketball.

I'm still curious about what "BLM" wants, aside from the chants and mantras.  Defund the police?  I don't even know what that means in practical terms.

Reduce their budget to spend the funds on something else?  

The police force here is 60% black which is about the constitution of the city.  Does that need to change?
