Race

People are looting bc a rumor a black man (who just killed someone) was killed by the police. Tell me this is about racial injustice and not just opportunistic stealing.

But the NBA does a lot of business in China, and even runs camps out there.

When a player spoke out about it, LeBron and co condemned that player for being ignorant.

Doesn't seem hard to me for LeBron to use his platform to condemn concentration camps.

Maybe I'm missing something though

Indeed. I believe James is right to be concerned with human right violations.

But its really really weird how inconsistently he applies it

It seems condening concentration camps is an easy one. But that might hurt James wallet.

Makes me have to wonder what his motives are

oh yeah...he hates your boy...that's it...
 
Literally for nearly 40+ years

The stance to break communist China was get your foot in the door with capitalism. Show them capitalism and it will eventually break that system.

The same people that stated that for 40 years

Are trying to talk **** about someone upset about things in this country and being Republican when it comes to China policy
 
This is going to end in a bloody race war/uprising with an unimaginable (for now) death toll.

Everyone here knows that, right? It seems to have already started.

Black man with no weapon walks away from Kenosha police

and is shot 7 times in the back. White teen with assault rifle

who just shot 3 people and KILLED 2, walks by Kenosha police

with his gun & they offer him a water and he gets to go home.

No greater summary of America exists.

people thought it over the top month or so back for pointing out
history tells us these regimes always end in bloodshed

we are witnessing the 21st century version of the Brown Shirts.
In real time

Instead of clubs and rocks it is AR-15s

James Baldwin provocatively argued that when it comes to policing in this country black people are still living under “the slave codes.”

so yeah, I believe the cops shot him 7 times for maybe reaching for a knife
Just like HRC was crooked because there " might be the appearance of possible wrongdoing "
All the while the accusers were being stripped of the right to operate a charity
////////////////////

In this case the enablers are drawing the same straw to justify their inherent bias

Good lord

so sure don't engage me any longer
Block me, have a temper tantrum
because you seem a reasonable person and you know I am right

But the video shows what it shows.
Didn't one Presidential candidate wonder what happened to shooting , if they have to, perps in the leg to disable ?
Wasn't there a chorus from the boys about that is not feasible in thee situations ?

Watching this video and many many before this is totally feasible.

How many white kids were shot 7 times in the back yesterday ?

Is all of this worth tax cuts ?

Is this what happened?

What happened to the post that denounced this version of events?

Here's an article on the 17 yr old shooter. I have no knowledge or opinion about this event. Been gone for a few days.
 
to my knowledge this is what happened ,

There are reports the shooter was treated --- with kid gloves

I am willing to stand corrected
but not by Andy Ngu or AGConservative of some other alt-right propagandist

Here’s the deal: I’m a white guy.

I’m pro Cop. But it’s up to us white people to take the

first step here. It’s up to us white people to admit the truth.

And the truth is that Cops don’t treat black lives

the same way they treat white lives.

Can’t fix things until we do that.
 
How do you fix it? Bust up the unions and end qualified immunity.

When congress created legislation to do so, Pelosi didn't vote on it.

Address that
 
I've gotten to know a few cops over the years. About half of them are great people and from what I can tell terrific cops. The other half should not be cops.

It's that way with a lot of professions. People get a job because their uncle helped them get a start and that's the profession they ended up in for life. For most professions it doesn't matter. I think with policing its a problem if a large share of the profession is unsuited for the work. And different people will be unsuited for it in various ways. Chauvin was unsuited for it in one way. His partner Tou Thao looked clearly unsuited for the work to me, but in a different way. And this guy in Kenosha, Rusten Sheskey, from what little I've seen looks like he was way in over his head in a situation that a competent cop would have handled very differently.
 
there is no incentive to be a good cop, just like teachers. The unions protect the bad ones. The good ones don't make more money.

Its not racism. If it was racism there wouldn't be twice as many whites killed than blacks from cops
 
Most big city cops are jaded or get jaded very fast. They don't care about the people they are supposed to be serving. They don't care about white people either. But treat them better than they treat minorities. Most of them just seem to be sticking around for the pension.

Small town cops are different. But their jobs are a lot less stressful.
 
I knew someone who went to an Ivy League school and became a New York City detective. A different breed. The NY Times actually did an article about him and other Ivy League cops. There were maybe 5 or 6 of them. He enjoyed the work for the first five years. Then he got ground down. This was a time when crime was falling in New York. Giuliani was mayor. What ground him down was the bureaucracy and culture. So he changed professions. I think a lot of cops go through that cycle, but they don't change professions. They don't have the kind of education and background that would allow them to do that.
