Do you want this? Maybe, you do!

Do you think Obama CARES about Freddy or the others.

He wants to nationalize the police force!

See to the core of things. My God!

If you are at a mall now and a gunmen starts firing, you better WISH you had a law abiding citizen with a gun.

You don't hear these stories on the same news that covers this.

You don't hear about the woman who had a gun in a crowded church and saved everyone when a gunman started shooting.

You don't hear about the many, many, many law abiding citizens that save scores of people because they can STOP a mad gunman.

That will all be gone if law abiding citizens cannot own guns.

Everyone will be a sitting duck against a lone gunman( and if you didn't know, criminals will ALWAYS get guns)

Just law abiding citizens will be disarmed.

You see how much Obama wants guns.

If he disarms the law abiding and militarizes the police force, WHO WILL HAVE THE GUNS?

Do you want that

It IS the real issue, my Friend. The US is a beacons of freedom in this world. YOU can go to school. YOU can wear the clothes you want. YOU have sexual freedom. YOU can criticize the government.

YOU can talk like you are now. YOU take it all for granted like you would throw a used tissue out the car window.

It won't always be here for you if you can't think for yourself

All governments engender "useful idiots "when they are trying to do clandestine things that they want to distract from.

The useful idiots carry the banner.

THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT![/B]

NO NEED FOR THE EXCESSIVE CAPITALIZATIONS.

Answer the question: what is it I am failing to understand? What part of freedom of speech have I failed to uphold?

I would love for you to actually answer what it is "I should be focusing on," because I'm not sure what is more harmful to society than damning infrastructures such as systemic racism.

That is the thing about you- you get asked questions and you deflect them. I posted some tough questions for you, and what I got in response was this--silence.

I think it's important that people talk about police brutality and make a big deal of it. Just last year here in Knoxville a cop got caught on camera choking a college student. The picture spread like wildfire on Facebook and people raised hell about it and that cop ended up getting fired. That sort of power abuse by cops happens everyday in the U.S and more people need to be making a big deal out of it or it will only get worse.

OK--I have a story about a teacher losing his job because he made a comment about Obama about what he THOUGHT of him.

Should he lose his job?

If it is no, you should be paying attention to that rather than an issue which is MADE to be an issue for the purposes of obfuscation.

Simple--Do you want a national police force?

Yes or No?

Is that format easy enough for you, Bella?

He tried three times already to find a white cop who abused a black kid.

In EACH case, he was proven wrong, so he hunted for another.

In this case, the boy fell in the police van, reports are saying, and so the police did not put him in a seat belt.

For that, six cops were arrested for homicide, if I have the facts right.

Here is the answer: Irrelevant. You can change the system all you want, but the reality is blacks still are not on equal playing level, likewise the same for other minorities. Change the police system in any fashion you like, until you address system racism these issues are not going to simply disappear.

Yes, we need to address the brutality of the police, but that isn't going to dismantle the systemic racial infrastructure.

The fact blacks have the worst health the US compared to all races, have a very low income, educational level, higher death rates on average, face greater poverty, and lets not forget get racially profiled is the bigger issue here. Why do you think some protesters are angry?

When you have been oppressed for centuries and not much has changed after the Civil Rights Movement, is it really a surprise to you that all of this is happening.

Don't you get it? The transformation of America is our loss of freedom.

That is oppression of everyone--black and white.

That is what YOU should be looking at, if you are humble enough to drop your arrogance.

Considering the number of names you have thrown at me in this thread alone, and the way you have talked down to everyone despite having no tangible evidence for your claims, you can take a seat.

Again, I will ask you- do you have any black friends? Do you have any minority friends at all? Have you personally experienced racial discrimination? Did you have to sit on a different side of the bus because of your skin color? Were you called a thug or savage for wanting your voice to be heard? Have you faced barriers in annual income due to your race? Have you been called names in a derogatory manner because of your race? Do you face a greater chance of being in poverty and not getting the financial support you need? Do you have to worry when walking outside in the dark that you will be shot down for looking 'suspicious?' Are you a parent that has to worry at night that their child won't come home? Will you get choked to death, get your spine crushed, or run away in terror from the police due to your skin color?

But the kid whose mom slapped sense into him (to save him being next not to school his manners) didnt need the press to tell him that Freddie Gray wasn't an isolated case. He has had his own friends killed and beaten. So while foolhardy, he decided to stand up to power.

People get tired of being sheep. Sometimes they do stupid things but if thats what it takes to get attention...

And then she saw just how brutal the deputies were. It wasn't just race, other factors were important, too. For example, a homeless white guy would be targeted for abuse faster than a black doctor or lawyer, though a homeless black guy would be a preferred target over a homeless white guy. Of course it's much easier for whites to become doctors and blacks to wind up homeless given how the system works out in practice. But the violence she saw from her fellow deputies sickened her so much and made her feel dirty that she transferred to a small town (as she couldn't go back home anyway, she was now one of THEM, the hated police, and deputies count as police).

Hopefully there will also be a lot of Habeus cases being brought in Baltimore too.
