Texas Mounted Officers Apologize For ‘Poor Judgment’ After Leading Man Behind Horse By Leash

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-police-apologize-man-behind-horse-rope-handcuff_n_5d48fd97e4b0d291ed05a58f

The Galveston Police Department issued an apology on Monday evening after an image was circulated on social media showing two mounted officers, both white, leading a handcuffed black man behind their horses, attached by what looked like a rope or leash.

Adrienne Bell, a Democratic candidate running for Congress in Texas’ 14th District, posted the image to Facebook, saying the scene had invoked “anger, disgust and questions from the community.”

....yet some folks on this platform will insist that nothing is wrong with this...

Besides the USA the next 2 most populated countries in the Americas are Brazil and Mexico, and they vastly more dangerous than the USA. The left, for some reason likes to compare the USA with Europe, so her you go.

http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/mass-shootings-by-country/

The Crime Prevention Research Center looked at the death rates that resulted from mass shootings between the years 2009 and 2015. Here are the average death rates, in millions, per country, between 2009 and 2015. The countries are already listed in order of the highest death rates to the lowest median death rates.

Norway 1.888
Serbia 0.381
France 0.347
Macedonia 0.337
Albania 0.206
Slovakia 0.185
Switzerland 0.142
Finland 0.132
Belgium 0.128
The Czech Republic 0.123
The United States of America 0.089
Austria 0.068
The Netherlands 0.051
Canada 0.032
England 0.027
Germany 0.023
Russia 0.012
Italy 0.009
Now that we've looked at the average mass shooting death rates, let's compare those to the frequency at which these mass shootings occur. The countries on this list are also on the list of mass shooting death rates, but the order is noticeably different. The top eighteen European or American countries in terms of mass shooting frequency include...

Macedonia
Albania
Serbia
Switzerland
Norway
Slovakia
Finland
Belgium
Austria
The Czech Republic
France
The United States
Canada
The Netherlands
Italy
England
Russia
Germany
Now for the list of European and American countries paired with their mass shooting frequencies.

Macedonia 0.471
Albania 0.360
Serbia 0.281
Switzerland 0.249
Norway 0.197
Slovakia 0.185
Finland 0.184
Belgium 0.179
Austria 0.119
The Czech Republic 0.096
France 0.092
The United States 0.078
Canada 0.056
The Netherlands 0.059
Italy 0.017
England 0.015
Russia 0.014
Germany 0.013
Your article did state the differences in what countries tag as a mass shooting. That aside you're also ignoring the fact that the sheer population size disparity between the US and other countries listed above also skewed the stats to it's advantage. Especially the last purpose of your link

I don't think you should try to downplay what is currently going on right now

I hope you are not black, then I would understand your hatred for blacks and define you as a white supremacist.
No one is contesting whether the arrested person is a serial or one time criminal (mind you suspected), put putting him on a leash and dragging him to the police station is inhuman in the 21st century. The Galveston Police Department would never do that to a white criminal.
Even the Galveston Police Department found the picture appalling and apologised, but here we have a sadist hailing such barbaric treatment.

The El Paso shooter did not upload the, now widely-circulated, manifesto says the owner of 8chan, the website on which said manifesto was found.

Increasingly, there are rumors the recent shootings could be a false flag designed to shift attention from the upcoming declassification of files pertaining to the Russian collusion hoax and its chief players.

Stay tuned.

680 undocumented immigrants are arrested in Mississippi - Trump's immigration plans are working

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/07/us/mississippi-immigration-raids/index.html

US immigration authorities have detained some 680 undocumented immigrants in what a federal prosecutor described as "what is believed to be the largest single state immigration enforcement operation in our nation's history."

US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi Mike Hurst told reporters the arrests took place at seven sites in six different cities in Mississippi on Wednesday. "Today, as a result of the hard work of these men and women in law enforcement, we've set another record," Hurst said.
Officials declined to provide details about what sites had been targeted, citing what they said was an ongoing criminal investigation. CNN affiliates reported the raids occurred at food-processing plants throughout the state.
The arrests came as a result of administrative and criminal search warrants executed by special agents from Homeland Security Investigations, Hurst said.
"Today, through the hard work of these men and women, we are once again becoming a nation of laws," he said.

New movie where elite leftists kill "deplorables" on a game ranch.
In the wake of a trio of deadly massacres, the studio is evaluating its strategy for the R-rated Blumhouse satire in which elites stalk "deplorables."
"Did anyone see what our ratfucker-in-chief just did?" one character asks early in the screenplay for The Hunt, a Universal Pictures thriller set to open Sept. 27. Another responds: "At least The Hunt's coming up. Nothing better than going out to the Manor and slaughtering a dozen deplorables."

The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum's Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals.

America is actually under attack from the Deep State/Shadow Government.

I believe the shootings are false flags designed to regain political momentum after the totally uninspiring Dem debates.

White supremacy and gun restriction are now front and center of the Dem policy machine. Free healthcare and benefits for illegals didn't seem to do them much good, so the Deep State introduces chaos to redefine the nature of what is the trending political discussion.

A lot will be revealed soon

If you don't want to be separated from your kids then don't commit a crime. If an American citizen commits a crime and is arrested, is he allowed to stay with his kids? Why should illegal immigrants be granted a right that is not even granted to Citizens? Are illegal immigrants above the law? You liberals should get lost with this your sentimental nonsense. If you don't like kids to be separated from their parents then tell the parents to stop breaking the law. If a parent decides to foolishly commit a crime, then you don't blame law enforcement for doing their jobs and enforcing the laws of the country

These foolish liberals are basically rooting for open borders even though they lie about it like they always lie about everything. If you are saying that anybody is free to just come across the border and law enforcement shouldn't arrest them if they do then what is that if not open borders? The country might as well have no borders then. When law enforcement tries to enforce the country's laws these idiots try to start playing emotional games about child separations. All the American citizens in jail for one crime or the other, are they with their children? If I tell you that liberals are some of the most stupid sets of people you can ever come across, don't doubt it. Where on earth have you ever seen a country where anybody is just free to come in whenever and however they like without following due process? Then what is the need of claiming you are a country when you are basically a no mans land where everybody is free to just come in and flout your laws and nothing will be done to them? Only in the brainless heads of the lunatic liberals

Grinning Trump gives thumbs-up with baby whose parents were shot dead in El Paso terror attack

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-melania-baby-el-paso-thumbs-up-hospital-parents-mass-shooting-a9049086.html

It is the sort of photo politicians have long been known to favour: adorable baby, thumbs up, big smiles. Few, however, would surely pose this way in such grave circumstances.

Donald Trump has sparked global revulsion after being photographed grinning with a two-month-old child who was made an orphan during Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso which left 22 people dead.

The infant’s adopted parents, Andre and Jordan Anchondo, were both killed in the supermarket massacre, while he himself suffered broken bones when Ms Anchondo fell on the child to shield him from further bullets.

But when the baby, called Paul, was brought to the US president at the University Medical Center of El Paso, the 73-year-old appeared untouched by the child’s tragic plight. Both he and first lady Melania smiled for cameras, while the commander-in-chief also threw in a thumbs up.

You people need to start using your brains to think critically. If a father goes out and robs someone and he is arrested, do you blame the police for taking him away from his children or do you blame the irresponsible father who decided to commit a crime? People like you will surely blame the police and call for the robbers to be released because they shouldn't be separated from their children. Use your brain!!!

Police arrest armed man at Missouri Walmart

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/456804-police-arrest-armed-man-at-missouri-walmart

Missouri police say a man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly showed up to a local Walmart with a loaded rifle and a bulletproof vest.

Police in Springfield, Mo., said nobody was harmed and no shots were fired. The suspect, a white man in his 20s, was detained by an off-duty firefighter until officers arrived on the scene, authorities said.

The man allegedly showed up with a “tactical rifle” and bulletproof vest, the Springfield News-Leader reported.

Springfield Police Lt. Mike Lucas told the outlet that the man, wearing body armor and military-style clothing, was taking videos on his phone and making comments to people while pushing a shopping cart.

Lucas said the suspect then left the store, where the off-duty firefighter held him at gunpoint until police arrived shortly after.

“His intent obviously was to cause chaos here, and he did that,” he said.

Lucas said the suspect had more than 100 rounds of ammo, adding that police are still working to determine his motives, including whether he intended to shoot anyone.

“His intent was not to cause peace or comfort to anybody that was in the business here,” Lucas said. “In fact, he’s lucky he’s alive still, to be honest.”

The incident follows Saturday’s mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that killed 22 people and injured dozens others.

A separate shooting in Dayton, Ohio, one day later killed nine people and left others wounded.

IMHO I believe the left is doing all it can to eliminate the right
In Canada a man who identifies as a woman has sued and driven out of business ladies who offer Brazilian wax. In their homes. The last one is a married woman . How do you let a man who does not have the female Instruments in your house for a waxing you know nuthin about.
The left acts crazy but their overall agenda is to force down liberalism, eliminate conservatism & religion which aided by tech and MSM label deride the right as phobic (trans, 53 gender, homo etc). They know what they are doing and they have an endgame.Communism. xtianity their first target.

Was about to ask this question myself, but now waiting for your response, Shopkeeper. Should aliens enjoy impunity and immunity from the law that's not available to citizens?
Besides, had the aliens assaulting the border not already separated themselves from the rest of family members left behind in Central America?
And these could be wife, husband and kids.

They whine everyday, but ask them for what solutions they have to the issue and let's share from their ideas

Ask them that when citizens of other countries come towards the border what do they suggest govt does

If both parents commit a crime and they have children, should law enforcement not arrest them or should they take the children also into jail with the parents so they don't separate the family?

Ask why someone will leave home as a man and on the way decide he's a woman and want to enter female bathroom.

last week i asked one of them why someone who decided not to go to college should have his tax dollars to pay for someone who wanted to ho to college and if someone decided to become a pro boxer should govt also pay for his personal trainer. I haven't heard anything

Jeffrey Epstein found dead in his cell in New York!!!
They say it's suicide, I say how? Just a week ago he was found unconscious on the floor of his cell with injury marks around his neck and they said it was attempted suicide, he was placed on suicide watch since then so how was he able to commit suicide barely a week later under the watchful eyes of the authorities? They will say we are conspiracy nuts but I tell you this guy was Murdered!!!! They didn't want him to talk. Just yesterday more information came out linking him to more high ranking Democrats like George Mitchell and Bill Richardson and today he mysteriously winds up dead.
