Oh yeah, the latest from the DOJ. Sick as hell, but, Wow! Why did it take them eight years to do nothing but file a report? I really hope Jeff Sessions sends in the team to really get to the bottom of this pit. I had hoped Obama would years ago now.
I agree. Sessions should be all over this shit. I will be following his investigations into police corruption VERY closely. I am a very strong supporter of Law Enforcement. The only reason I can see a cop doing something like that is as a scare tactic to dissuade a young man from continuing gang life. But in a place like Chicago, that can get that kid killed. Definitely not appropriate for that place, and perhaps a bit too "old school" for the current times.
No, just socialist. Nazi were socialist to begin with and then... well you know the story. Since then it is just a misused word commonly use by the left as shock & awe deflector.
I see both sides using the Nazi term. And the vast majority of countries with socialized medicine are democracies. Just like us having socialized primary education, police, fire, libraries, etc. doesn't mean that we're a socialist nation. But you know that. At least at one time you did.
Yep. Eventually, I just started avoiding threads that he starts or posts in; depending on the subject matter.
No sir. You never saw me conflate socialized medicine with police, fire and the like. Then you will always see me have a very different view on what is appropriate for the Cities, the State, and the Federal government. But I don't feel like expounding on it, except none of the above should evoke, Nazi.
Close enough to 1921 and Jim Crow. We are holding them accountable for criminal activity. More than we are people of other skin color, and for more petty reasons. EDIT: the Chicago PD revelations are pretty good evidence of what goes on, how it's government fucking with good people and making the situation much worse.
Are you saying you talk during movies at the theater? If so you're dead to me. I almost stopped watching Seinfeld because they did it.
I respectfully disagree. I've seen more white people being arrested on the news than I have black people. Now...is that different in Portland as opposed to, say, Chicago? Most likely yes. There's probably more black people arrested in Chicago than Portland. In fact, I'm certain of it. But that doesn't mean that it's a country-wide issue. These are issues that happen in isolated cases, that get blown completely out of proportion, and usually for reasons that have nothing to do with racism or discrimination.
Hey, sounds promising! Can't wait to see either how (a) this turns out to be a big privatization scheme, or (b) how, if it isn't, Denny spins it as libertarian. Hoping Paul Ryan is shitting himself right now:
Of course, the obvious answer is that it's really shitty insurance. Y'know, like "jobs for everybody!"... as a greeter at Wal-Mart, getting paid less than unemployment.
The prisons are overfilled, and have far more black prisoners than is fair. If the government says crack cocaine is a lifetime offense, but cocaine is a 1 year sentence, it is because crack was more popular among blacks. That's how "criminal" works. There are more white people than black. A lower % of whites arrested may be more as a quantity, but doesn't speak to fairness. For example, they could jail all 20M blacks and 25M whites and you can't say it's fair. 100% vs 10%.
I am not sure I am following you Denny. Are you saying the police should get the latest demographic spread and consult it before making an arrest?
