You want to immediately make it an issue of politicians, glossing over the police responsibilty in these situations. Lori Lightfoot has been the mayor of Chicago for a year...did she go in and tell Chicago police to treat minorites worse than they would treat other suspects? Did she start this? Of course not. It has been going on for decades. I hate saying it sometimes, but my late father, a police officer, recognized that there was a fundamental problem with police training goinig all the way back to the early 80's. Honestly, I don't know exactly where Lightfoot stands each point of this complex situation, but I assume she, like others, is for ending police immunity. If you really want to change the situation, that is a good place to start. That is not saying that all police are bad, but it gives us the chance of getting those who are bad, off the force. Nothing. If somebody says Blue Lives Matter, and somebody responds All Lives Matter, what happens? Community policing would solve a lot of these problems.

If that was an isolated incident, you might have a point. But it isn't an isolated incident. Athletes have been taking a knee for 4 years now, to bring attention to police brutality in their communities. There were countless incidents before this one, and there have been many since. Is it possible that "99%" agree what happened was wrong, was the result of the ongoing attention the kneeling protest brought to the topic? Their intent wasn't to "smear the whole country", it never was. If you feel smeared by it, that is you. It was never to disrespect the military. Many of the guys kneeling have family that serve. Their intent was to bring attention, and put some pressure on the powers that be, to recognize this issue. I'd say they have been very successful with that. But they want equal treatment, not your sympathy. You aren't the center of the universe... This might be the most ignorant post on the topic that I have seen yet. Normal, mature, well adjusted adults don’t need athletes or celebrities engaging in some token behavior to help them decide when something is wrong. But, if that’s what you need, more power to you. 12 hours ago, Buftex said: See that's the problem.

If somebody says Blue Lives Matter, and somebody responds All Lives Matter, what happens? Never mind. You broke your own record with this one. Ending qualified immunity? Yeah, great idea brainiac. I’m sure your late father would love to work under the threat of being sued for everything that someone else thought he did was wrong. You do know that qualified immunity doesn’t prevent bad cops from being sued, right? It protects good cops from ridiculous lawsuits and from losing everything they’ve worked their lives for because some crackhead or sovereign citizen wants to sue them for some bull####.If you end qualified immunity, no one with half a brain will want to be a cop.

B-Man Posted August 22, 2020 Author Posted August 22, 2020 Reclaiming Our Culture from the Left Original Article Everyone knows it: the death of George Floyd was just a pretext. The rioters who continue every night to wreak havoc in Portland, and who are poised to engage in new orgies of destruction all over the country don’t know much and care less about Floyd. They’re quite open about engaging in a “revolution” with the goal of destroying the existing order and replacing it with an authoritarian Marxist regime. But what we are seeing today is not new. Its seeds were planted decades ago. Now the question before us, if we want to preserve the United States as a free society,

You missed my point completely, on the kneeling athletes...there seems to be no way to argue this one with any nuance. Or maybe just my poor wrting skills, are not making my point clear. I will say though, If you are correct, what does it say about all of the people who stedafastly take the sides of the cops in this instance? We live in a society where "normal. mature, well adjusted adults" are in short supply. I undedrstand what you are saying in regards "qualfied immunity". It seems that perhaps it doesn't need to eliminatied, but a stricter adherence to it's original intent needs to be adhered too. 1
