raumdeuter:When a Judge died during Obama's last year, McConnell refused to confirm Obama's nominee because he said it was too close to election and it is morally unjust to replace in final year. He even swore that if it happened in Republicans final year, he won't confirm it. . . then went ahead to push through Amy Barrett three weeks to election in 2020. Since they all want to be mad, let them all be mad. |

budaatum:https://www.npr.org/2021/04/10/986010977/supreme-court-rules-for-worshippers-and-against-California-covid-restrictions I didn't consider it necessary to butress my point you can check the link I posted for more. That said the court needs reform whether it is expansion or term limits or even age limits although some argue that term limit is not constitutional but expansion is and the number of circuit court judges and even supreme court justices increased as time goes by if not that expansion could be used as a political tool thanks to the GQP expanding the courts won't be such a bad idea many nations across the world have done so time and time again.It would make hearings faster and justices can be able to handle more cases too there are benefits and sane arguments to court expansion to meet the current realities of time.I don't think Biden will expand the court but his hand may be forced to. What do you make of such judgement read the link I posted and tell me how that argument is impartial |

Ibime:Exactly.She was even confirmed while voting was taking place and 8 days to Trump's humiliating defeat .The hypocrisy of the GQP is too glaring even for the blind.I watched Lindsey Graham swear that even if a republiQan is in power they will not confirm a justice on election year.Then came Amy covid Barrett and story for the gods later followed shameless people.Had RBG died in November when Biden had been declared winner I wonder if they would have gone ahead to do it even Trump who was busy trying to change the outcome might have still done same thinking the court will help him that would have led to a big problem had that played out. |

AmazonTopaz:This girl has gone nuts. Even buda understands that will be stupid to do. He expands the court then what? Some one dies is he gonna fill the space to even the playing field without partisan selection ? When the other side wins will you encourage them to expand the court or reduce it again ? The link you posted just makes you anti Christian bigot. |

Ibime:The senate did their job. McConnell does not have the power to confirm anyone or reject anyone. There are other members in the senate that has to vote from both parties. all the judges trump nominated none was accepted by the Democrats. They cooked up phony rape accusations. ACB they say she is racists for adopting black children and argued that it is racism. |

Weregonnalose:Very annoying lie. Which job did the Senate do? And who said McConnell had the power to appoint or reject anyone? The republican led Senate Judiciary Committee refused to hold confirmation hearing for Merrick Garland. Now what is the job of the Senate if not to hold hearings for nominations of the president? If they had held the hearing and voted to reject the nomination, that would have been a separate matter. The long term implication of this is that once the Senate is being controlled by an opposition party to the president, they can decide not to screen the presidents nominees until they are able to win back the presidency. all the judges trump nominated none was accepted by the Democrats. They cooked up phony rape accusations. ACB they say she is racists for adopting black children and argued that it is racism.That's what is paining you guys, that repuplican judges trump norminated were not accepted by the Democrats? Which is worse, Republican judges not accepted by the Democrats or Democrat judges not even screened by Republicans. I don't think presidential nominations will ever get bipartisan support in the US for the foreseeable future. |

wirinet:My brada the senate did their job. If it is illegal take it to the courts. One man does not have the power to reject. Nothing that has to do with republicans that the democrats accepts. Biden accuse a justice in the Supreme Court when he was nominated. The only black Justice nominated by a republican president. I have never seen you compassion for Kavanaugh what they did to him. Spare us this fake outrage. A neutral guy will not accept an eye for an eye. The democrats are notorious for using the media and their powers to tarnish people's life. Instead of Republicans to pay people millions to accuse innocent justice of rape, they just didn't go along with it. So yes the democrats are the worst |

Weregonnalose:Joe Biden during Clarence Thomas nomination was head of the withchunt to block him. He tried to stop the nomination, then later forced Thomas to be grilled over accusations by leftist Anita Hill.Joe Biden is a racist by todays standards whenever whitey does not want a black to be nominated. The caveat is that its not racist for a whitey to reject the bleck if the bleck person is a conservative. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Weregonnalose: 8:55am On Apr 11, 2021 |
basilico:Hypocrisy is a bitch bro. These people only open their eyes to what conservatives do. They close their eyes when democrats do it. A white woman who goes to a poor black nation and adopted kids that she send to school, shelter and provide their needs. They are happy with their white mother suddenly became a slave owner because orange man nominated her. But the intellectual geniuses here will believe ACB is nazi |

The keyboard warriors want police to be calm and respectful like this cop. It is racist for police to make sure they go home to their family. Budaatum and salford1 both of you should comment on this. It because both of you were making noise how racist it is for the cops to make sure they see their children https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH6bsr61vrw |

Weregonnalose:I watched the video and I am shocked at the level of professionalism or lack of displayed by the policeman. First it makes no sense at all for a single police man in a vehicle to be patrolling the highways. Even in shit hole Nigeria, patrol vehicles consists of at least 2 police men. Second, the behaviour of the police man confirms what we have been saying all along, that the police as a whole is racially bias against young black males. Imagine if it was a black male that was driving the highways in heavily tinted car. Immediately the polics man confirms the driver is a black male, he would immediately draw out his gun. If the black make even tries to reach for his glove compartment or seat belt, he would be shot. Here he saw a white male with a rifle and was pleading for him to have the gun for his own safety. The white male came out of the car holding a rifle, pointed it at the police officer and shot him, without the policeman drawing out his pistol. Do you think such serenio is remotely possible if the guy was black? This video does not help your argument at all. Search for another one. |

Is it not same Nigerians that were mocking blm took the streets to protest against police brutality, people act like they don't understand brutality/oppression till it reaches them |

![]() wirinet:1: the other situation, the suspect has tinted glasses, and it was night how would they know his race? This case the white man has tinted glass how will he know he was white? So the quote below is baseless exaggeration Second, the behaviour of the police man confirms what we have been saying all along, that the police as a whole is racially bias against young black males. Imagine if it was a black male that was driving the highways in heavily tinted car. Immediately the polics man confirms the driver is a black male, he would immediately draw out his gun.More baseless exaggeration: If the black make even tries to reach for his glove compartment or seat belt, he would be shot.Watch the video below, and they don't know if he is black or not and the dude thought because he is an army lieutenant they will just see him and go away. The officer said it was a felony stop check the meaning of felony stop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf5KZSADDhg There was no gun draw here, even when he was running to the car to get a gun they did not shoot him and see what happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXhwZk6_cHU The only things your brothers know is to play the race card. You nothing else. Shameful You said the video does not help my argument. I my argument is not about color, but I it is about police should be allowed to come out gun drawn if they fear their situation is a felony stop. Both cases they don't know who is in the car. Your buddies talk about respect and disrespect but this officer shows all that and died. I can show you many more videos of gun draw on a white man. I can also show you a white unarmed getting shot. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Weregonnalose: 1:49pm On Apr 11, 2021 |
wirinet:Did they go with guns drawn? No, no they can see in the car but she has a gun and situation changed when they ask her to step out and she refused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIjee7FUcyc The original video he didn't stop immediately which makes him suspecious. But the lie if it was a black person in they will get shot is a lie. You are watching the videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zFrF8PCR08 He was expecting a dangerous drug dealer, a black suspect but he saw her. Notice he asked her to put the gun down. Even when she carries a gun. So why lie about getting shot when you try remove the seat belt? |

Weregonnalose:What is a felony stop? Please explain which section of the law is that. That you refuse to stop when flagged down by the police is not a felony by any stretch of the imagination, except you don't know what felony means. He stopped 100 seconds after He was flagged down. His explanation was that he was scared to stop in the middle of nowhere and in the dark for police, which have a reputation of killing black young men for the slightest excuse and then covering it up. He drive to a well lit petrol station and stopped. The first thing the police men did was draw out their guns. For what? Just because they did not initially see his license plates. Most other countries respect service men for sacrificing their life for their country, but in might USA, they treat a black service man in full uniform like shit. Do you think if the driver was a white service man, he would have been disrespected so badly? As I said there is a huge distrust between the police and blacks in the US. Even one of the officers alluded to that in the video (assuming you watched the whole video). Something needs to be done to address this mistrust. One of the best decision I made in my life was when I refused to stay in the US after getting a 4 year visa. I could never have survived the racism and police racial profiling. UK is a million times better. Before I forget. In The first video you can also not blame the black man for fighting back and shooting the police officers. The black guy cooperated until the police without warning grabed the guy and wanted to handcuff him. The police men were so unprofessional and violent. They should have first told him why he is being arrested and talked to him respectively while reading him his rights. Have you seen British police arresting a suspect? They would laugh with you and never stop calling you sir. They would tell you the reason for the arrest and accompany them to the police station. They would violently handcuff you for minor offenses like traffic offenses. Now do you blame any black man for refusing to be handcuffed by white police officers after seeing what happened to George Floyd? You think if George Floyd was not handcuffed Chauvin and his accomplices would easily have murdered him without a fight? |

wirinet: What is a felony stop? Please explain which section of the law is that.Felony stops are also known as high-risk stops, because of the possibility of violence. Almost all such stops involve multiple officers and squad cars, and some also involve aerial surveillance. In a felony stop, the police usually approach the stopped vehicle cautiously. They will order the driver and passengers out of the vehicle at gunpoint. It is not a law. It is it is a procedure. That man has a tinted car, he refuse to stop when he was asked to stop. He drove for a mile or more before he stops. At that point police will be wondering why? Does he have anything to hide? Is he wanted? Hence the situation became felony stop. That you refuse to stop when flagged down by the police is not a felony by any stretch of the imagination, except you don't know what felony means. He stopped 100 seconds after He was flagged down. His explanation was that he was scared to stop n the middle of nowhere and in the dark for police which have a reputation of killing black young men for the slightest excuse and then covering it up. He drive to a well lit petrol station and stopped. The first thing The police men did was draw out their guns. For what? Just because they did not initially see his license plates.If you watched the video you would know this you said was bullshit. He drove for miles after he was asked to stop. His explanation would have been nice if he had stopped and followed their instructions. He was after he stopped he refused to follow instructions. He was calm and does not look afraid when he told them no that he won't get out of the car. Police kill more white men than they kill black men. The media has fed brothers with fear and lies which will more like cause death in an encounter. The police draw out their guns because it was a felony stop. And that time they don't know who is in the car. Stop with this race BS. If you watch the video you would know. It's not about the license plates. It is about safety. The lieutenant was an asshole. Most other countries respect service men for sacrificing their life for their country, but in might USA, they treat a black service man in full uniform like shit. Do you think if the driver was a white service man, he would have been disrespected so badly?They fight overseas our police fight at home both of them are service men. He should know how to take orders. Dude, did you watch the video? You sound like you did not watch the video to the end. The law is the law. Service men or not. Yes if he was white the same result. Only racist see everything through the lens of race. Blacks can be racist too. Before I forget. In The first video you can also not blame the black man for fighting back and shooting the police officers. The black guy cooperated until the police without warning grabed the guy and wanted to handcuff him. The police men were so unprofessional and violent. They should have first told him why he is being arrested and talked to him respectively while reading him his rights. Have you seen British police arresting a suspect? They would laugh with you and never stop calling you sir. They would tell you the reason for the arrest and accompany them to the police station. They would violently handcuff you for minor offenses like traffic offenses.After the above I don't think you are a sane person. British police laugh with someone they want to arrest even if the person is a violent maniac like the Rigby killer? Show me a video of what you claim. I guess they are having a good laughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVWUWZQR8Zw Now do you blame any black man for refusing to be handcuffed by white police officers after seeing what happened to George Floyd? You think if George Floyd was not handcuffed Chauvin and his accomplices would easily have murdered him without a fight?Another rubbish remark. You will be killed 10 seconds in the US with this kind of reasoning. You sound very unreasonable and your excuses are beyond ridiculous |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by wirinet(m): 4:52am On Apr 12, 2021 |
Weregonnalose:And what's makes this a high risk stop? Because the driver is a black male? This are the situations that require a felony stop ; Felony stops are rare and are much more intrusive than regular traffic stops. They are conducted when: It is not a law. It is it is a procedure. That man has a tinted car, he refuse to stop when he was asked to stop. He drove for a mile or more before he stops. At that point police will be wondering why? Does he have anything to hide? Is he wanted? Hence the situation became felony stop.Just because a person goes an extra mile or 2 before stopping does not make him a felon. If you watched the video you would know this you said was bullshit. He drove for miles after he was asked to stop.You are being dishonest here. Look at the video and listen properly and read the media reports of the incident. He only drove to the next well lit public place to stop. He was trying to avoid these kinds of incident where he will be murdered by the police with no evidence or witness. His explanation would have been nice if he had stopped and followed their instructions. He was after he stopped he refused to follow instructions. He was calm and does not look afraid when he told them no that he won't get out of the car.He had a valid reason for not stopping immediately. Not stopping immediately and not obeying Police immediately is not a felony crime. Besides in the US you are not obliged to obey illegal orders even if it was coming from the president. Police kill more white men than they kill black men. The media has fed brothers with fear and lies which will more like cause death in an encounter.Provide video evidence of police killing or even threatening while males in the US. You mean to tell me all the police murders of black men since the days of KKK were media creations. Your hatred of the black skin is worse than sexylasse or other self hating blacks on this forum. Both black male and white police officers will continue to die needlessly unless something is done to address the problem. The police draw out their guns because it was a felony stop. And that time they don't know who is in the car. Stop with this race BS. If you watch the video you would know.When they realised who was in the car nko? After the car stopped at a well lit public space and the police realised it was a black make in army uniform, should they not have lowered their guns and take a more less aggressive approach? You mean a military uniform means nothing to US police? It's not about the license plates. It is about safety. The lieutenant was an asshole.The stop was about license plates. The car was not reported stolen, it was a new car. The drive was not a felon. Luckily the lieutenant has sued the officers and the particular police department, we shall see who the asshole is. To you and your likes, in any encounter between a black and a white man, the blackman is always the asshole, whites are infallible. They fight overseas our police fight at home both of them are service men. He should know how to take orders. Dude, did you watch the video? You sound like you did not watch the video to the end. The law is the law. Service men or not.As said , the officer has been taught to only follow legal orders. The court case would show if the way the police behaved was legal. After the above I don't think you are a sane person.See who is talking about sanity. Someone with a rabid hatred for black skin, that thinks whites are always right, and has been posting video that is even counter to his arguments and biases. A sane person would not hate the black skin so much. It is your type that sold their brothers for mirrors and alcohol. British police laugh with someone they want to arrestShowing a 60 seconds video in isolation means to show what? When have no idea of the circumstances leading to the arrest and you already label him a violent maniac like the Rigby killer. In the video the British police acted more professional than Chauvin and his colleagues. They never went near his neck and the suspect was arrested alive. Even at that, the police authorities promise a full investigation. Where is the police investigation of George Flyod's murder? Another rubbish remark. You will be killed 10 seconds in the US with this kind of reasoning. You sound very unreasonable and your excuses are beyond ridiculousThis is why I agree with you. America is gradually sliding into a sort of apartheid, where black males are killed by police for minor traffic offenses. |

Even black kids are not left out in the madness in some backward city in America. I also remember how the former guy signed an EO for the U.S. State Department to suspended all training programs for employees related to diversity and inclusion. Thank God Biden ended that rubbish from the former guy immediately after being sworn in. Thank God for cameras too. They will keep getting exposed.

Shebi according to you the black army lieutenant was the asshole and the white police officer acting according to the law? The white police officer better hire you as his lawyer, as he still have to answer for his use of excessive force in court. |

wirinet:He was fired does not prove any he was wrong. LA galaxy fired their player from east Europe for a tweet his wife made. So firing someone does not mean they are guilty. Sometimes companies do it to remove backlash or pressure from them. Two things he said I find worrying. He told caron yeah you should be when caron said he is afraid. Caron at that point was not afraid though. Second the was a reference to a movie. They could fire him for those things but not anything else. The mace was justified, the guns draw was justified.

As the police tried to detain the man, he stepped back into his car, at which point an officer shot him, Chief Gannon said. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/11/us/brooklyn-center-minnesota-police-shooting.html?
