raumdeuter: I'm not talking about the disrespect, it's more to do with the fact that right wingers have now chosen not to live in reality but in an alternate reality. They now purposely peddle very false narratives and it's now impossible to have decent conversations with any because of their outrageous narratives. Raumdeuter, please indulge me,do you think the last election was free, fair and transparent or do you buy into the narrative there was a wide spread orchestrated rigging of the last election? 6 Likes 1 Share |

budaatum: There is. A growing lack of trust between the police and the citizenry fuelled by other social problems like lack of good mental health care, lack of good social safety nets not to even add on the prevalence of guns. Its a gordian knot wrapping itself tighter with each event like this. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Weregonnalose:Sometimes the popular opinion is the truth. It does not make sense to always go against popular opinion because it makes us feel special or different. It's not everyone that follows police orders or any other orders for that matter. Just like opinion deviants, there are many social deviants. If everyone follows the law and police orders, there would not be need for the police. The US police need to be trained on how to handle such situations without killing citizens they are meant to protect. You hardly hear of British police, the Canadian police or even the Chinese police kill unarmed civilians anyhow. They are becoming like Nigeria's SARS.
This is what I call a feedback cycle. Police is usually brutal when arresting blacks. Blacks have been complaining of police murders for decades and nothing had been done to address the problem. Many blacks have been conditioned to hate and fear the police at the same time. When they are stopped by police, they already have the mindset that either they shoot first or the police shoots first. The cycle of violence goes on and on, increasing with each generation. The brutal manner George Floyd was murdered would have a lasting impression on Black kids and youths. if Chauvin is allowed to go Scot free. It will also further embolden more white officers to continue profiling and murdering black young men, because if George Floyd murder that was captured live with so many cameras can be found innocent, then would there ever be enough evidence to convict any other police murders on black youths. 4 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed:That's the reason for the defund the police brigade, to spend the money on "good mental health care and good social safety nets", but we all know how that narrative is easily twisted by the endemic lack of trust between many of both races that go decades and centuries deep. A tightening gordian knot indeed. 4 Likes |

LordReed: Exactly the same thing I said above. It's a vicious cycle of violence between blacks and police and something needs to be done fast. The US needs to understand that policing is not all about violence and force but maintaining peace and social justice. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Weregonnalose: The fact that we both agree on this gives me cause for concern. Its almost like I'm very ashamed of that. This would be my last reply to you ever. You must know that i am not minimizing racism in the US. Racism is very alive and kicking in the US. I am very surprised that nobody here have posted the very racist interview tucker carlson gave yesterday. It was almost like he was quoting hitler's mein kempt word for word. Tucker carlson and fox have now succeeded in normalizing and mainstreaming far right extremism such that people are no longer shocked when they do it. Yesterday, tucker boldly adopted the very white supremacist "replacement theory" and very few people budged about this because they are so used to it. This is a racist theory adopted by hitler's nazism being streamlined and you have black coons like yourself cheering him on when his beliefs run counter to your own welfare and safety. 3 Likes |

Q is claimed to be an extra-dimensional being of unknown origin who is believed to possess immeasurable power over time, space, the laws of physics, and the reality of magas themself, being capable of altering it to its whim. Despite Q's supposed vast knowledge and experience spanning alleged untold eons (and much to the exasperation of the object(s) of his obsession), Q is not above practical jokes for Q's own personal amusement, for a Machiavellian and manipulative purpose, or to prove a point. Q is said to be almost omnipotent and is continually evasive regarding true motivations and peddles an alternate dimension accessible only to the Q and their "invited" guests. The nature of the realm is said to be beyond the comprehension of "lesser beings" such as rational humans, therefore it is shown to irrational humans only in ways they can understand; e.g., a run-down gas station in the 'middle of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_%28Star_Trek%29?wprov=sfla1]nowhere'[/url]. |

wirinet: Police order and laws of the land are not the same thing. One of the laws of the land is to follow a lawful order. Police are afraid too. They are humans and they get killed in situations like this. The only way to calm the police and don't be a reason why BLM make 90million dollars is to follow their orders. If you are killed by following their orders... You will get killed 10 times over by not following their orders. George floyd would be alive maybe alive if he did not resist. If he complied they would have drove him the station. We should be careful with police instructions. They want to go to their families and are afraid as well. |

Oh wait, Biden has set up a commission to look into the possible consequences/effect of expanding d U.S Supreme Court Joe Biden in his early days in the Senate said such move was a "bonehead idea" and during the recent Preelection Campaign said he wasn't "a fan of packing d Courts" WHAT NOW?!

The election was conducted by mail, a concession to the pandemic. Instead of holding an election over just a few days, workers had more than a month to complete and mail in their ballots, which were due on March 29. Guess who lost! 3 Likes |

donjazet: The choice not to have a decent conversation is on "you" not you in particular but the poster. The main reason this thread has become unreadable is because of infantile insults thrown around everywhere. It's possible to state your facts, share your opinions and disagree while remaining civil. If you say it's possible for you to have a decent conversation because of something, then how do you expect them to reply to you? At the end of the day, it simply becomes mudslinging of "your mother is fat" vs "Your father is ugly" from people who are adults and some parents Rumdeuter, please indulge me,do you think the last election was free, fair and transparent or do you buy into the narrative there was a wide spread orchestrated rigging of the last election?To your other question, No election is 100% without some irregularities, but I think the last election did not have enough to make it unfree and unfair. In my opinion, The last election was free and fair and Biden is the rightful winner While saying that, any aggrieved person has the right to pursue redress at the court if they think the election was not fair, but the moment the supreme court rules. That is the end just like in other issues. If you and I disagree over anything, we both have a right to go to court, but once the court rules, then we take our L and sit down |

wirinet:Its different in a country without guns vs a country with more guns than people Police do not have spare lives too and are always on the edge as every encounter with police in America is potentially more deadly than anywhere else in the world. It's you duty as a citizen to obey the law enforcement If there were more guns in Canada, China and UK more than people, I believe the police in those places will have more shootings too In other countries, a normal road rage ends up with people flipping the finger, In America where normal road rage can end in shooting In other countries a bullied kid sucks it up, In America, they pick guns and shoot people America is not the only country where racism exists, Its not the only place where different races co-exist in same place rather its the place where there are more guns than everywhere else. A racist cop in Canada will probably use batons on you because he has no reason to fear for his life, while a regular cop in America that isn't even racist will shoot |

feedthenation: The last Republican regime confirmed 3 judges because there were openings, they did not increase the size of the court But if Dems want to, they should go ahead, just remember that when the other party wins, they will do the same thing just like we learnt with the nuclear option |

budaatum: Not only Nigeria, Even Mecca or Vatican if they have more guns than people will be like America Do you know how many times people get very angry at the next person and after a cold beer they just forget it and move on? Its part of life to be very angry and to calm down later. Do you know how many times people play soccer or any sport, felt robbed and feel like killing the other team or referee, but later they just calm down and move on with life But when guns are in the mix there are some people we all have met in life who have explosive personalities, Imagine that one with a gun 2 Likes 1 Share |

budaatum: A repeal of the amendments might not be possible but full background checks and mental evaluation for potential gun owners can be done. Make it harder for sick people to get guns. Also consider that those countries do not have a border with a cartel run country so getting illegal guns will be harder than in US 2 Likes 1 Share |
