You rightists sure are bootlicking authoritarian apologists.

Personally, I don’t give a flying fuck what you are! You’re just an uptighthypocrite to me.

You lecture me but insert your personal racism because I’m white. Notice any double standard?I’m sure you’re the first one to run around screaming racismas soon as something doesn’t go your way! But hey it’s a free country. Hate all you want. Live your life as a victim if that’s your thing! That’s the beauty of living in the United States and having free speech.

Bootlicking??? Not hardly. I judge people as individuals first.You judge people by their race first and foremost.

You don’t have the facts on your side so you invoke white privilege to shut down any debate and to shield yourself from criticism and responsibility.So typical.

Do yourself a favor and be informed on the issues. You have a longway to go.

There are unjustified shootings. Every shooting should be thoroughly investigated. Judgement should wait until all thefacts are in.

So yes we are in agreement if someone is unjustly shot or abused.

The facts are entirely on my side, and you certainly don't seem to have been shut down.

Bottom line. We both want safe streets and neighborhoods. I disagree with you regarding Canadian cities having the same level of violent crime as large U.S. cities. Especially when considering cities like Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Memphis, etc....

You made a good point on community policing earlier.I had forgot to mention in an earlier post that many communities had a working concept as such in our big cities several decades ago. Large extended families with other large extended families used to be the norm in many big city neighborhoods.Neighborhoods that were more ethnic pretty much took care ofthemselves. Unfortunately, many people today don’t even knowtheir neighbors. We’ve become a transient society.

It would be nice if neighbors watched out for each other again.

Cupcake, the person with the reading comprehension problem is looking at you in the mirror.

Also, you have a fact problem.

You asked "Hillary Clinton sat with the mothers of Trayvon Martn and a couple of others at the National Democratic Convention. Fine no problem. However, where was her support for the five Dallas police officers murdered and others???"

Where was she?

She was cancelling rallies out of respect, and reaching out to Dallas authorities to find out what she could do, and calling those shootings "an absolutely horrific event" and saying every American should be concerned. In fact, "Clinton also called on communities across the country to show more "respect" to the police, as she paid tribute to the officers who risked and lost their lives in Dallas."

So fuck you and your fucking fact-free bullshit.

But it's adorable that you generalize as you tut-tut about how I "presume to know a lot about people" I've never met... in response to a correction of YOUR assumption about people you've never met.

And I bring you a message from my stepfather, whose 25+ years on the job taught him more about cops than you will ever know... and that message is... go fuck yourself with a wire brush, you lying asshat.

Your a little strange for a lefty defending the second amendment.

Tamir Rice was waving a toy gun around pretending to shoot. He also removed the orange piece at the end of the barrel to make the gun look real. His size had nothing to do with it. Concerned neighbors called the police. The police responded with a very unfortunate result.

They understand it a lot better than you obviously.
