The saddest part of all is that the people who are screaming the loudest are the very people who who never want to substantively discuss real solutions and benefit the most from keeping things exactly as they are. The citizens living in black communities overrun by violent crime, poverty, lack of ownership, lack of employment, and lack of hope should be angry right now - just not for the reasons pushed by those with agendas.

It is not just analyzing data involving cases where a black citizen is killed by police. It also involves all the data around violent crime that drives (1) the level of police response in black communities at a rate higher than any other group per % of population and (2) the nature of police responses in those communities. It also involves analyses of underlying socioeconomic and subcultural issues that have allowed the violent elements within many of these communities to create a virtual "war zone" between black men within the communities, and between black men and the police - all at the expense of the majority of good, decent men and women in those communities. It involves the need for real innovative and creative ideas in policing. I agree with you that we should be using all the technology at our disposal to breakdown data. However, it is not just the numbers. The problems are complex and deep, and everyone involved shares some level of culpability. We can do all of these things; however, it has to begin with honest, open dialogue, where everyone has the ability to look at themselves and their roles in how we have arrived here, and where we go from here. Unfortunately, the national dialogue is filled only with the voices from the extremes.

I’m sure the parental controls have taken effect on your computer. I do hope you come back to visit!

I really was hoping you would rise to the challenge, in both intellect and humor. You really disappoint me, first_and_ten.

He can’t spell and he is misusing the word he is trying to spell. Stupid, but amusing

Honestly, the two of you really are not very good at this.

Very middle school caliber. Not unexpected, though

This is the best you got. It really is amateur hour at PPP.

You can’t fix stupid

You boring, uninformed, and childlike posts should do the trick. A couple more and I will be nodding off...

Actually, just amusing myself. Hoping you get a little better at this before I lose interest

This is so amateur. C’mon, step up your game

Please, keep regaling us with your stunning intellect and rapier like wit. No, really We are all on the edge of our seats waiting for your next profound insight

Did I vote for Trump? And, just what is a Trumlet?

Please, Kreskin, tell me where I stand on all issues re Trump...

Somebody forgot to take his meds....

I don't know if he would or he wouldn't. My response was to someone who posted an article asserting that, at least part of, Roberts' motivation for his decision was based on his personal feelings about Trump. I have no idea if it is true. I am simply saying there is no place for that in any judicial setting - especially at the Supreme Court level.

Perhaps you should go back and read what I wrote again. The POTUS's actions are always reviewable. My point was that the actions are reviewed in relation to the constitution and existing laws, period. In that respect, he is exactly the same as any other person involved in a case before the Supreme Court. Who he is, what his position is, what the Justices think about him personally are all irrelevant. Do you understand the distinction?

My own personal view on Dreamers and illegal immigrants that are here truly trying to make better lives for themselves and their families is that they should be fast tracked for citizenship while, at the same time, immigation laws are reformed. Having said that, Supreme Court Justices exist to act as last resort, impartial guardians and their decisions should not be based on anything other than the interpretations of the constitution and existing laws. What a Justice personally thinks about anyone involved in a case before him/him should never be of consideration. If the Justice cannot remain impartial, then the Justice should recuse himself/herself.

Funny, you would think that the problem would have already been fixed during the collective 150+ years that Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, Sanders, and Warren have been in public office... However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps you don't believe/are unaware that Biden and the others, or the Democratic Party in general, ever tried to do anything to help those communities. So, please explain to us, policy wise, just what they will do to accomplish this task that they, apparently, have never focused on before? We eagerly await your attempt to take a swing at this....

Really? This is the best you could come up up with? You are just not very good at this Gary...

My guess it was after he agreed to let you go after that little restroom incident at the truckstop... You really are sooo adorable when you try to participate in adult conversations

Hey, next time you are walking down the street and see an officer, walk up to 1-2 feet of him/her and reach your hand toward his/her belt. Let us all know how it turns out....

Not even in the ballpark of the situations I am talking about. Of course, you know that. Maybe one day you might actually add something substantive to a discussion. Until then, you just keep being you, Gary...
