THIS is why the police need to use their bodycams

[Dinsdale]

Yes, that's the ONLY time a white officer has unjustly summarily executed a black, unarmed suspect. Tell me you knew.

http://www.nber.org/papers/w22399.pdf

Using data from Houston, Texas – where we have both officer-involved shootings and a
randomly chosen set of potential interactions with police where lethal force may have been justified –
we find, after controlling for suspect demographics, officer demographics, encounter characteristics,
suspect weapon and year fixed e↵ects, that blacks are 27.4 percent less likely to be shot at by police
relative to non-black, non-Hispanics. This coefficient is measured with considerable error and not
statistically significant. This result is remarkably robust across alternative empirical specifications
and subsets of the data. Partitioning the data in myriad ways, we find no evidence of racial
discrimination in officer-involved shootings. Investigating the intensive margin – the timing of
shootings or how many bullets were discharged in the endeavor – there are no detectable racial
di↵erences.

If she drank alcohol or not isn’t the point in question here. She refused to give the officer her last name for the MIP ticket. Then she got mouthy. Then she was face down in the sand resisting and getting cuffed. Then she spit on at least one of them.

Don’t see how the cops will be in trouble here at all.

[Joe in PB]

Another aspect with the who would want to be a cop question is, at some point cities will have to fill the police ranks with whomever they can find, and then things will really turn to shit. Total anarchy......

Oh yeah, and citizens don't have a need for firearms......

But either way, it doesn't help Screwey's case.

If you don't submit to the authority of the State at the time and place of their choosing, for whatever reason they deem necessary, you deserve to be assaulted.

I'm so glad you guys won the American Revolution.

[Joe in PB]

Unfortunately it appears as more time goes by, there is less and less difference.

[Softball Bat]

We need another 'Roided Up Badge Monkeys thread.

No - America needs to be broken up into at least 2 different countries. PS: Does the majority of Canada still want to do away with Quebec?

We have 50 states.
We just need to obey the constitution.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

We just need to obey the constitution.

The Constitution isn't for it's citizens to obey.
It's for the government to obey.



Maybe you should read it.

[Softball Bat]

True.

Such is why we have -----> guns (2nd amendment).

Maybe we should use them.



:wink:

[Softball Bat]

We wouldn't need a federal government if that were truly the case. (You can feel the air of the liberal collective gasp @ that statement.)

Our constitution calls for a federal government.
Just nothing remotely resembling the out of control monstrosity we have today.

Lefty is right -- departments need to go bye bye.
Starting with the dept. of education.

You know, Reagan ran on eliminating the dept. of education.
He got elected and guess what?

He didn't follow through.

It was also under Reagan (R - "conservative") that the national debt went out of control.

But he can really thank Nixon (R - "conservative") for that.
Nixon thought it was wise to take the country off the gold standard.

Sword to the heart.


So you see, you can sob about the liberals, but the so-called "conservatives" are equally responsible for corkscrewing the country into the turf.

And now you've got this Drumpf asshat (R - "conservative") who gets his nuts licked daily by total idiotic R-voters.

Makin' America great again.

To the tune of a $1,000,000,000,000+ yearly budget deficit.

rotf...


His days are numbered, though.

[Softball Bat]

Not bad.

I think you balk at two things.

1. Trump's days are numbered
2. His budget deficit (because it isn't really all his fault)

You also don't want people to assume you are a Drumpf nut licker.

:)

[Screw_Michigan]

2. His budget deficit (because it isn't really all his fault)

GOPtards like 88braincells only care about deficit spending when Ds are in charge. Tell me u knew

Complete and utter bullshit. That might make you feel good to type that out, but you are just lying to yourself.

[smackaholic]

I agree with about 90% of Softball Bat’s last post.

Once you get past the whole flat earth thing, 'tarts a pretty solid dude.

About all I can pick on there is this idea that those of us that support Trump think he's a conservative.

He's about as conservative as Tricky Dick was.

What he is, is someone who thinks it's a good idea to actually put our nation's interests ahead of the rest of the planet. He is also a reaction to the stifling PC nonsense that has gripped the nation for too long. The only topic I might call him conservative on, is his loathing of the suffocating federal regulatory behemoth.

[Left Seater]

Holic is correct on Trump and conservative.

Also Softball needs to expand on what he means by Trump’s days are numbered. Does that mean next week, next month, this year, the 2020 election or the 2024 election?

I expect Donald to be over before he finished his first term.

The FBI raided M. Cohen's office and seized a lot of information.

They don't do that unless they know that crimes have been committed.

Don is in deep shit and he knows it.

Of course you do understand that when the Democrats finally take over the executive office, there will be a special counsel appointed to dig up as much dirt as possible. Meaning politicians being politicians, no one going forward will be immune to bad press, fake news, and lengthy investigations after their inauguration. It's just another reason why presidential candidates suck, and will continue to do so.

This country is already in civil war, but most people are so disconnected they can't or don't want to see it.

You're right. It's being destroyed from the inside by white supremacist authoritarians and criminals in the executive branch looking to extract as much public money as possible for personal financial gain, aided and abbedded by white authoritarian Republicans in Congress.

Thanks for clearing that up, glad we can agree on something for once.

[Joe in PB]

I think your point is applicable to all of Congress. Most seem to be for whatever is best for their party and themselves as opposed to what is best for the country, for example, illegal immigration sanctuary cities and states.

A couple more things Screwy, what proof do you have that Trump is a white supremacist? You throw that around a lot, but I haven't read or seen anything definitive.

Also if Trump and the Republicans are white supremacists, what does that make the Democratic party, black supremacists?

It's not going to be too long before more people start asking themselves that question, and they're not going to like the answers they find.

I think the whole conversation about Trump as white supremecist grew out of his defense of the white supremecists in Charlottesville as nice decent people. It's a valid question, but has not definitively been answered. I think he's just a Trump supremecist.

Also if Trump and the Republicans are white supremacists, what does that make the Democratic party, black supremacists?

The first part of your premise (Republicans are white supremacists) is just a blatant strawman, which makes the second part irrelevant. And it's also totally wrong.

If by "more people" you mean a buch of cretinous rednecks, you're probably right.

More people as in swing voters, those who swing elections (see election 2016).

If the swing voters are the ones asking themselves that question, that totally explains the 2016 election. Because only fucking morons would ask themselves the question you posed.

[Joe in PB]

Democrats have shown they are 180 degrees out from anything Trump supports. Trump supports illegal immigration enforcement, Democrats support illegal immigration sanctuary. Democrats claim Trump is a white supremacist, making the question about whether the party is black supremacist valid.

Speaking of getting fucked . . .

abbedded?

So are the white authoritarian Republicans in Congress busy fucking (abbedding) the white supremacist authoritarians and criminals in the executive branch? Who is raper and who is the rapee?

abbedded. Sounds profane, like something a slobbering redneck from middle tennessee would brag about his new girl friend who finally made it to 6th grade.

And you still don't get it. Your premise was that all Republicans are white supremacists. Which is total bullshit. As is your conclusion that if Trump were a white supremacist, ALL Democrats must be black supremacists. Your shoes don't have strings, right? Just Velcro strips.

It appears you don't get it, my question was to screwy, but many in the Democratic party agree with his premis about white supremacy. So the question is valid whether you agree or not.
