Too bad for you that Bunkerboy's goose is cooked..... Trump is looking at a landslide loss on election day. Democrats will be in charge of all three branches next January and can start cleaning up the mess left for them by Trump's corruption and incompetence. Trump has a better shot of winding up in prison by 2024 than he does of still being president.
people with TDS are looking at one thing and one thing only; get rid of Trump no matter the cost.
The silent majority, even if they’re not Trump fans, are more concerned about what the radicalized left now stands for.- 1

I'm thinking the response would be "This doesn't address that there is a systematic issue". (Not my thoughts just based on listening to too much public radio during the pandemic).
I hear the buzz words systemic and institutionalized racism thrown around constantly by the left. But ask one of them to explain what that means and give an example and you get no facts. Just emotions based on false narratives that they have all bought into..

Your interpretation of that statistic is wrong. Just because more white people than black are shot and killed by police, it does not mean it's more likely to happen.
The percentage of white criminals killed by police vs total white people arrested is smaller than that for blacks. Thus, the likelihood (i.e. percentage compared to total population) is actually significantly higher for black people.
No, I’m not wrong. Compare the total number of arrests of white people to the total number of white people killed by police. Then compare the total number of arrests of black people, and compare it to the number of black people killed by police. That is my statistic. And it is correct.

Being a white male is so tough in American. Combine it with being a Christian, and it's practically the most dangerous minority to be a part of!
Yes, it’s true. Being a white criminal, you are more likely to be shot and killed by the police during an arrest than a black criminal during an arrest.
(But don’t let that statistic rain on your violent riots)- 2

You people aren't fooling anybody. Civil disobedience isn’t what bothers you, it’s what these protesters stand for. You know well that minorities will be the majority in 20+ years and the implications of such will politically and culturally flip this country upside down. And the white millennial and Gen Z kids growing up in this new environment are completely on-board. 'Snowflake culture' I think you call it?
Of course the right-wing is mobilized now, why wouldn't they be? But they are an older, monolithic and withering demographic. Look at a Trump rally for God's sake. Older and white as a snowstorm with dueling banjos as the soundtrack.
Either way, many places now are lifting curfews. Violence is subsiding and non-violent protests and marches are taking over everywhere. This is history in the making.
Wow, you are off your rocker dude.

It’s about time someone in a church of any denomination stood up to this insanity!
Meet inside the church? Can’t risk Coronavirus! Protest OUTSIDE the shirt? By all means, go ahead!
If you’re suggesting topless outdoor gatherings, then that’s a movement I could get behind. Or out in front of.

I agree, but we live in times where fact and logic don’t matter.
Actually, they do matter. If you use facts and logic, a lot of the time nowadays you are considered racist.

What were they doing in the video? Was there a racial tone to the video, or was it the word alone that was solely the issue?

Latrell Sprewell couldn’t feed his family on 3 years 21 million. I don’t know how the baseball players could survive on 283k minimums.

When's her peaceful sit-in at Fargo City Hall?
Hint.
Her case took nine months for charges (better yet, note the charges), and the trial sentence came down two years after her death.

LBJ worked hard (see Civil Rights Act of 1964). We have courts and legislatures take stabs at outlawing discrimination almost yearly. And yet the discrimination and unequal treatment continues.
One of my grandfathers (born early 1900s) was the most hateful, racist people I've ever known. I used to think when his generation died off we'd make progress. Then I thought my father's generation was to be blamed for the continuing inequality. He's gone and the problem persists.
America is simply a racist nation, with the discrimination baked into institutions and people, and I honestly don't know how it changes. I understand why people are marching and protesting another death of a black man at the hands of white cops. I see where the continuing frustrations fester and boil. But I'm white and can't ever hope to understand what it must feel like to try to live as a person of color in this country.
I have friends who are not white who tell me they are constantly afraid of being pulled over for "driving while black". I know black men - homeowners, husbands, fathers, professionals - who won't go out for a leisurely walk in their own neighborhood because someone is likely to call the police.
Maybe it is my generation. Maybe when the Boomers die off, America can finally live up to its promise of "all men are created equal". Right now, looking at cities across the nation burning every night, I don't see a way out of this mess.
We need to love and respect each other. I don't know where else to start.
We could start by identifying the real problem. But no one is allowed to publicly utter that this is a segment of a culture with a problem without fear of losing their job or being set on fire.
When you have a political party, Hollywood, and main stream media race baiting every single day, unfortunately, a lot of people start to believe them. Facts be damned. Statistics be damned.

If you are a Christian, and can't hear #BlackLivesMatter without feeling the need to respond with a criticism that "All Lives Matter," then crack open your Bible and hit up Luke 15.
Don't have it handy? Let me summarize.
There are 100 sheep, but one goes missing. Jesus leaves the 99 and goes after the one.
The 99: "But... what about us? Don't we matter?"
Of course the 99 still matter, but they're not the ones in danger.
The one is.
To be accurate the title of the movement should be
Black Lives Matter If The Life Was Taken By A White Person So As To Be Used To Promote Racism, Regardless Of Intent Of Perpetrator, Or Statistical Proof. (Otherwise, We Don’t Care About Other Black Lives Lost)

My fear is they overcharge the cop and he is acquitted. They can prove murder three easily.
Murder 3: "....causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind,...."
these two requirements in the statute are what i feel may be hard to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Even though it looks egregious to anyone seeing this video, the defense will argue the act of knee on neck is not eminently dangerous; in fact, it is an endorsed practice by police departments and has been used over 200 times by the minneapolis police department.
second part- displaying a depraved mind- he has no look of aggression, anger, etc. he's just staring around aimlessly. Indifference correlates to depravity. But as a veteran cop, he's seen and heard it all. His fellow cop is heard making a wisecrack about "don't do drugs." They all thought Floyd was on drugs and thus ignored his pleas, and were not surprised he may have passed out. Is the jury going to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt it was an act of depravity? Or was it a veteran cop making the horrible mistake of not reacting to the situation because he had mistaken Floyd's actions as a result of drug use.
Pre-existing heart issues, preliminary reports indicating possible meth and fentanyl in his system. Did he die from the kneeling, or was he already suffering from a heart attack etc. and the cop's negligence just sped things along?
They should charge manslaughter instead of risking the overcharge and acquittal.

I would fully expect riots if the city decided to wait for a few days and not immediately apprehend the murderer, especially if his death was live streamed to the world for all to see.
The Floyd situation isn’t anywhere near as black and white (pardon the pun) as the Grand Forks shooting.
Going by the letter of the law, proving beyond a reasonable doubt the charge of murder by the cop is going to be difficult to prove. At which point the riot to end all riots will probably commence. -

I’m from southwestern ND. I sat around the dinner tables and in the bars. I am from there so no one guarded themselves. I am them. But I’m not anymore. That ended when I watched the full video of George Floyd being killed. And again when I’ve seen the reaction So you might convince someone else that it’s not the racism. But.not .me
Or maybe 100% think the cop’s behavior was wrong. But alarmingly, only some think rioting, looting, burning cities to the ground and murdering cops is the wrong response.

You see Oxbow is attacking for you for posting on this website since you're a lazy, no good Cheeto eating liberal. Nevermind that he and a few of his camp followers (MafiaMan) are seemingly on here 24/7. They are true keyboard warriors fighting the good fight against evil liberals while also holding down highly important positions that afford them the luxury of posting hundreds of posts on a website daily.
Well, someone’s gotta do it.

No. Those things you listed are deplorable. I'm just pointing out that Trump is a con man and a charlatan, always has been, and there was nothing sincere in that visit.
But the focus of the main stream media is on Trump at a church, or now accusing him of being a dictator because he mentions the military helping because liberal cities and governors will not attempt to control the rioting. And protect their own citizens

If it is your position, this is a free country and you are allowed believe whatever you want to believe. That is the great thing about America!
If you are saying it is my position, it has missed the mark completely.
It’s the position of the rioters and the mainstream media.

All of these jumps to conclusions are so beautiful! Could it be possible that the Reverend hates all of those things, and also doesn't want their church being used as a political photo opportunity? That is an option you know.
It could also be that the media distracts the weak minded into thinking Trump is the real problem here.

Interesting seeing the lowest of the low IQ people behind these ideas being interviewed on the CNN’s of the world. No follow up questions on how the h is this going to work.
Just, oh ok. That’s an idea.
