Of course it would as one huge complaint is about police leeway.
For example the chief in Atlanta said the shooter (who was white) was doing okay and was having a bad day.
A bad day!!!?? Dude drove to three separate Asian businesses and opened fire.

tHE SECOND AMENDMENT IS NOT ABOUT GUN RIGHTS IT IS PROTECTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO INFRINGE ON LAW ABIDING CITIZENS
yup. the problem is that would require a partnership of so many different disparate entities from private; gov; not for profit; universities; all with their own agendas own warts that it's just impossible to bring together. apparently....
I kind of link to people who post something witty on UNDISPUTED facts. I don't rely on Rex Chapman as a bringer of facts-he just has a good sense of humor...
On the other hand, the twitter accounts JDB posted and relied on when describing the kid killed in Minnie as a "POS" came from freaking Andy Ngo.
Andy Ngo is so far entrenched up the butt of fascist groups like Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys that he may as well be a member. In fact in the infamous Cider Riot case in Portland a few year back which resulted in members of PP/PB being arrested, an undercover video shot by a guy named Ben (who posed as a Patriot Prayer sympathizer) clearly showed Ngo on the scene as rioters were discussing their plan of attack including weapons. The expose is discussed here
Here is a perfect example of what "Ben" said about Ngo. In the first video he isn't filming while the Fascists are planning their attack on the Antifa folks at the Beer Garden. But in this video when some of the people who planned the attack (including Joey Gibson) arrive and start attacking the Antifa people (who are on Private Property), Notice how dorky Andy is now standing right next to Gibson and actually FILMING with his camera pointed towards the Antifa folks. Andy Ngo is a hack...
African Americans need a strong, moral leader like MLK, but is as blunt as Trump. He or she could use the bully pulpit to challenge the black family to be true to themselves through personal responsibility.
I have no confidence a white leader can heal the racial divide at this point.
Of course this leader would need to be equally blunt with all other Americans to live up to their moral and social responsibility in turn. The person would need to be honest and straightforward with this demographic in how we got to this place.
This leader would also need to believe the cause is worth potentially laying down their life, ala MLK.
It’s a worthy endeavor. We all serve the same God, and inhabit and love the same country. We all want to leave the next generation a better place for our children and countrymen.
This seems like a Utopian dream rather than a realistic plan. I view many of these as effects vs. cause whereas you view them the opposite. Culturally, there is such a distrust between police and inner city POC that trying to over-police, particularly with cities facing massive budget shortfalls in 2020 and 2021, is not a sound decision. I'd offer the reverse - set up some Hamsterdams and let the community police itself, to the extent it has any desire to do so. Perhaps that empowerment will actually cause people to take action against bad actors.
It is unrealistic to expect financial institutions or any other privately held entity to throw money at the problem, as they are responsible to shareholders and are not designed to subsidize or endure losses for the benefit of public good.
Credit scores are only a problem because they are a relatively good indicator of repayment risk. If there are better metrics, those would be used more frequently. There are all of these alternative lenders that promise to provide better access to capital, and in some cases they do. But, there is a cost for that. You can't expect to borrow a 30 year mortgage at 3% if you don't have a good track record of income generation.
Agree on some of the drug elements, but does how does increased access to illicit substances help the substance abuse issue we face in this country?
FWIW, I'm working with Centene on a deal right now and its quite interesting. I'm surprised how aggressive they have been to try and transact, remind me of Optum several years back. They're quickly diversifying out of the insurance business and into the provider and technology side of healthcare.
That’s an interesting take. And probably accurate. Obama wasn’t that guy. And I like Obama. In some ways he was too polished, too “academic” for lack of a better word for that role. He just wasn’t relatable imo. Charles Barkley combined with Obama type.
Anyway with this I’m talking out of my ass. My experience in living in the Deep South and other places and working in the urban core here is that blacks are a very disparate group. Like whites it’s hard to find a unifying figure. I don’t know. As unclebulk says just spitballin
Pretty stupid choice of words from the hack chief or spokesperson, but you and the liberal media immediately jumped on it as a hate crime because of ethnic reasons. In fact, it was revealed he preyed upon them for other reasons and it just so happens that many rub and tug joints are serviced by Asian women.
centene is growing like crazy. they built multiple new beautiful buildings here in clayton but pulled the plug on the last phase thanks to the blm summer of love here. i know much of what i write is unrealistic. as i said the cooperation from so many diverse public and private entities is unrealistic. i disagree on the cop part with you. the areas that are worse here have largely been abandoned by the cops. it's pretty patent that more police are needed but the resources just aren't there. as a result large swaths of areas are effectively abandoned and the gang crime is off the charts
I should clarify... I don't disagree with the idea that more police would be better. But, I don't think it would be acceptable to: 1) the inhabitants of those communities who have a cultural distrust towards police, 2) the police themselves who distrust and stereotype the people of those communities based on the fact that they are more prone to commit violent crime against them and others, 3) the taxpayers that would have to fund those increased costs.
Therefore, my suggestion was to actually provide the complete opposite and hope that somehow elimination of one of the two parties at odds may improve things.
Barkley would be good, or Dave Chappell. 😊 No one wants a professional anymore, anyway.
lmao and chappell has good common sense advice. i just saw him a few weeks ago talking about these school shootings. he said they have these practice drills telling all the kids where to go and hide and the shooter is one of the kids 😆
REVEALED: Daunte Wright was charged for attempted aggravated robbery
Daunte Wright, 20, choked a woman and threatened to shoot her if she did not hand over $820 she had stuffed in her bra in 2019, court papers obtained by DailyMail.com allege.

The police chief in Atlanta is black. It was a captain who made those comments.
But just to be clear, you’re saying those comments were made out of racism?
I have to live up to your expectations. Didn’t realize you don’t care about women’s rights if they don’t fit your narrative
lol wow they're a threat to the society!!Here are some thugs and POS standing around...
Who said they were a threat to society? Overcompensating dbags are no less POS just because they would crap their pants in a real situation. As long as they stick to facing off against cardboard signs, they probably won't get hurt.
Well sympathizing with a mass murderer who just committed a vicious hate crime while showing a lack of empathy for the victims is pretty ****ing weird coming from a police captain.
But yeah, it's got weird, racy vibes.
It's not fear, it's a lack of empathy, minimalizing racy vibe.
You could have told me he's talking about a dude that ran over a bunch of geese and that press conference would of made a hell of a lot more sense.
This idea lies at the heart of all racism, classism, our you-name-it-ism and a fundamental problem of our politics today. This started with the left and Democrats; unfortunately the GOP is adopting this also. There are many reasons for this including the weakening if not destruction of many social structures that worked toward producing a common social culture. We are on a irreversible and undeniable path to fundamental changes in everything we do and how we govern. That has been the goal since “fundamentally changing America” became a political objective. We are seeing that change in progress now in our social views, in government, and economics. I don’t think it’s a good look; but I’m just an old white guy.
Don’t discount your value. Old white guys write the checks
They are just preparing for when angry ol' Gestapo Joe sends his Federally funded local police to break into their house. I wonder how many people Gestapo Joe bombed in the middle east today. How much does dropping those bombs contribute to adding to the Greenhouse issue.Here are some thugs and POS standing around...
Federally funded local police? So, that’s a thing? Not to mention that libs want to defund the police. You are confusing your talking points.
The $820 cash was tucked in the victim's bra and defendant Wright placed his hand around victim's neck and choked her while trying to pull the cash from under her bra.

The guy who said that wasn’t black it was the dumpy balding white dude. He wasn’t the full chief of police.
Or at least be a black lieutenant in your military uniform at a gas station...then the cops will respect you and not pepper spray or hand cuff you :-(

Several important (even if obvious) lessons learned from that video.
- Serviceman complied and did not try and flee
- He's alive
- He was treated horrendously by terrible police
- Gutierrez was fired, but they still need to can the other guy
- That man deserves a huge sum of money that will hopefully take care of him for a long time
- That type of restraint and calm under those circumstances will hopefully keep Mr. Nazario employed for a long time. I'd hire him
Who in their right mind would sign on at the Police Academy at this point. No win situation.
My parents spent most of that time on right and wrong any having respect for the law. You know, not having a warrant and a rap sheet. Silly old fashioned stuff like that.
A person’s color shouldn’t preclude someone from presenting evidence that they were a criminal engaging in criminal acts. That is the root cause of his death. Call a spade a spade...
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...lington-nc-traffic-stops-policing/7225318002/ has a story up about a city in North Carolina that has ended administrative stops. It is worth a read.
I have mentioned before, the idea of adminstrative stop policing came from work in KC and there was limited to very small areas with the absolute highest crime rates. Suddenly everyone started doing it and problems ensued.
Also in that story is a Black officer who says he fears every time he is out as a civilian and a police car is behind him.

Wrong. My parents absolutely had that talk with me about what to do if you get pulled over, etc.
