Problem with her and the rest is they can't tell us how they are going to fix it.

The problem is that you and yours like it the way it is and actively oppose doing anything to fix it

She is hitting the right notes for any decent American. too bad conservatives aren't

Are they not popular anymore? Are they so commonplace we don't even see them as a problem?

I think its more that the people who SHOULD be offended by them never were and see legitimate grievances as whining.

I don't understand their need to pretend it happens to everyone. It doesn't. I have never been pulled over while driving by myself. I have been pulled over as a passenger in a car driven by a black man several times and every time there was a weak excuse like not maintaining distance behind the car in front of us or "I saw your tail light flicker". Each time we were pulled out of the car patted down, "detained" while they searched the car before being released when they found nothing.

These cases didn't start last year. They have been happening all along. The black community has been telling us all along. They have not been heard. Now that cell phone cameras are everywhere we are starting to see that they have been telling the truth all along.

Complaining that somebody called the cops on you when you're breaking a law, regardless of how stupid, is a silly thing to do.

That's not the subject of this thread. The subject of this thread is people calling the cops on black people doing completely normal legal activities. The same stuff the white people next to them are doing without having anyone call the police on them.

Mowing a lawn
playing golf
babysitting kids at the park
waiting for a friend at Starbucks
campaigning door to door
shopping for prom clothes
asking for directions
eating lunch in a college cafeteria
working as a firefighter
delivering newspapers
cashing a paycheck
making a phone call in a hotel lobby

Anyone who proposes or votes for any law or policy that prevents even one legitimate voter from casting their ballot should be banned from holding any government position or lobbying

Republican black and white world view again. The only options are felony conviction and exoneration. Unindicted guilty as FARK co-conspirator equals innocent in their worldview. I defer to Congress to do their job instead of doing it for them is innocent in their worldview

Meanwhile in Dallas, TX, the new DA is proposing to do away with prosecution of thefts of "necessary items" which are under $750. If you don't like this then you are a bigoted hater racist nazi who's actively preventing "black and brown bodies" from "participating in their lives". Take that, whitey!

Never mind that most welfare goes to single white females. But don't let facts get in the way of your racist assumption the DA is trying to legalize theft for brown people

Theft is theft. No relation to this thread. This is about 100% legal activities. Next deflection?

Quickly even

Come on now if it happens to whites too you should be able to find at least one example as wuivkly as we found the dozens against blacks.

Back up your bs or admit you are wrong. We will wait

The progression

It never happened fake news!!
It happened but there were no russians. Nobody has ever talked to Russians
There were russians but we only talked about adoption
We talked about other stuff too but Not Dirt on Hillary.
It was dirt on Hillary but it wasnt illegal
Russia didnt influence the election. We did using their supplied intel
Using Russian intel against other Americans isnt illegal

but white people get the cops called on them for no reason too. ---- happens

Provide examples with links. Bpth siderism does t work on this one.

We aren't talking about 300 rowdy kids. We are talking about a person waiting for a friend at starbucks, barbequing in a public park, swimming in a public pool, golfing, campaigning door to door, mowing their lawn, babysitting at the park, working as a home inspector, delivering newspapers, cashing a paycheck.

All nefarious activities, no?

Stop trying to pretend we care if you call the police on illegal activity. We are talking about normal people engaged in every day activities having the police called on them.

300 kids at a party hell I'd call the cops and report all of their parents that I could identify to CPS

See how stupid and ridiculous that sounds? Until there are metrics to show that this is actually a serious problem, any action taken is knee jerk and absurd. There are bogus calls on a LOT of situations, so are they going to start making laws like this to cover every situation in which people make bogus calls? Probably not, because it's not racial. And once someone adds race to the mix, metrics and facts are no longer relevant or regarded.

A good start would be to reduce the police presence to levels that reflect the decline in crime so we don't have 15 bored cops rushing to every minor call.

We don't need 1990 levels of police to fight 2018 levels of crime.

It seems like a solution in search of a problem.

It only seems that way to people who willfully ignore all of the reported instances of the problem. There are numerous instances of the problem readily available

Funny how the people opposing this law that addresses an actual problem are demanding voter ID laws to fix an imaginary problem which numerous lengthy and expensive studies have failed to find evidence exists.

A quick google search can find more verifiable reports of police getting called for black people participating in normal activities in the last 6-12 months than the searches for evidence of voter impersonation have found over a 20 year period.

Not all repiblicans are nazis but all nazis are republicans and when they are on the ballot the "not a nazi" republicans happily vote for them because they think some nazis are fine people.

Yes democrats have some extreme fringe groups but we dont look to them for leadership or send them to congress.

Why is it the republicans look to nazis confederates and russians for leadership. No ideas of their own?

Nowadays, if you're a respected inker, you refuse to give anyone a prison tat. MCs and gangs have their own inkers. If you are caught making prison tats, it could mean a beat down. If you're caught with a fake gang tat, they skin it off.
This is why I laugh at "bikers" who wear SOA gear. No real biker wears that garbage.

My stepson had a tattoo shop in nuevo progresso but he had to shut down the shop and go private because the hired help wouldnt play by his rules that forbid gang tats. He only inks people who are looking for art. he calls gang tats cattle brands. He is actually doing better without the headaches of running a brick and mortar storefront. He does his work in peoples homes and has built himself a name in the valley.

Astonishing how many Trumpists are still saying the Mueller Report is Fake News while still saying it cleared him. Astonishing that Trump himself says that.

Not hypocrisy, willfull ignorance. They know full well what the truth is. They ignore it so their side can "win" even if the nation burns down because of it

We can and did. Thats how we know everything you say about it is the opposite of what the report says. Maybe if YOU read it you would stop trying to prove to us that the earth is flat and water is not wet.

This whole thing shows a basic difference between conservatives and liberals.

Conservatives have very black and white views. Things are either right or wrong. There is no gray area for anything. Not convicted of a felony means total exoneration. Everything to the left of fascism is communism. People are either rich or lazy moochers.

Democrats have a far more nuance view of any given subject. Yes there are some lazy moochers gaming the system but the vast majority of poor people are poor despite being hard working. No matter how hard you work only one person will be elected president and it is likely to NOT be the hardest working person. In the real world we all know that if 10 people give 110% at work only 1 will get the promotion. 9 will have to wait for the next opening. The vast majority of low wage workers are low wage because the next rung on the ladder is occupied, not because they are bad workers or low value employees.

Mueller did not indict Trump. He left that to Congress and the AG. He explicitly DID NOT make a judgement of guilt. Trump may not be a convicted felon but he is as corrupt and slimy as they come.

That's why our system works. Innocent until proven guilty.
#207 | POSTED BY JORDYPETE AT 2019-04-18 01:06 PM | REPLY

That's right. Not innocent until convicted in criminal court. Trump has been proven guilty. Explicitly NOT exonerated. Just not convicted because Mueller deferred to the AG for prosecution and the AG is a partisan hack. Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue with 100 witnesses and Barr wouldn't even scold him

There is a wide chasm between "not indicted" and "exonerated". The report explicitly says it does not exonerate Trump. Any attempt to pretend it does is a direct falshood

We need to keep building horse drawn carriages or the horse drawn carriage companies stock will crumble

Let obsolete companies die. Change with the time or die. I work in IT. Our company is in constant change. They need to learn how to evolve on the fly

When are you idiots going to figure out that we don't hate rich people. We just hate people who got rich on the labor of others who they kept poor and then sneer at the poor.
