I didn't want to put my son in with animals, my oldest got whipped at home to act right and not take advantage of anybody , thank God he was put in the top advanced classes away from the dummies who usually had failed a grade or two and much older .. My youngest I didn't have to worry about , he didn't take any from nobody .. He fought one of the bullies down one day and the Principle told me it was school policy he had to be suspended , then he shut the door and shook my hand and said ''this is between you and me but I'm so glad Jamie beat that thug down, he was terrorizing all the other kids'' .. Jesus, love and discipline can not fail
Who are you referring to by "animals"?

That is what you are calling it, but I was trying to educate lanolin who seems to think everything in history is about how bad black people have been treated.

I didn't say anything about slave owners. I said slave traders. Not the same thing.

You also do not seem to actually exchange or discuss. I'm not affected by your personal persuasions and you are free to accuse or excuse as you see fit. I just know I do not care to live that way. I prefer trying to understand but I am not going to agree with lies either just to seem like I think I need to somehow make it up to people I never did anything to in the first place.

While I do have concern for injustice, I cannot see any sort of justice in what has transpired nor any sort of actual desire to make wrong right, in the big show the Democrats always put on. ESPECIALLY considering they are the ones running the cities with the biggest problems.

Not going to argue with you.
The first thing we need is police reform.
Stop training them to go all Mogadishu on citizens

The behavior in the video did not make me angry but I do think the teacher was out of her depth.

Seems Mogadishu may have set an example for some of the exemplary people in the riots. I didn't like the movie Black Hawk Down anyway. It was sickening. But understand that Somalia has been that way for years. I mean warloads and civil war.

Two wrongs do not make a right. The police (I forget which city) intend to sue rioters who attack them now and I say go for it.

Somalia. Really? smh

And by the way, it was a UN mission. Should they intervene here?

White person here, with white husband, in USA, neither of us can afford any healthcare so we have none. I pray to God every day that we don't get ill. Seriously, open your eyes and use them to look around you. I put this most politely.
In KY they are giving presumptive medicaid eligibility for the Covid 19 pandemic now to anyone who is under age of 65. There is no income limit that I know of. You can sign up and receive your medicaid number online. Check your state, they may have this program.

Really? :rolleyes:


Remember this movie from 1967? There have been many like it.

In other words, it is not a new problem.
School should be the happiest time of your life , it's tough enough , when I think of the bullies and kids dreading and hating school because of the animals they have to endure every day it breaks my heart .. I have no sympathy for your little brats .. I remember in the 80's, 90's some kids were afraid to make good grades because they were made fun of by the dummies .. I absolutely have no heart for thugs and abusers of those who try and were taught to do right , none .. You kiss their butz , coddle, beg, and bribe them , not this ole boy .. No matter what color .. If it were up to me if you couldn't make the grade , you'd be out in a trade or military school being properly punished and taught to learn a skill and how to listen and act with respect .. Now it's come down to blaming the police or wanting to get rid of the police, there's actual conversation about it, they're all going to hell .. Too many men today are taught to think like females or thugs ..

The UN is the most corrupt organization on earth, followed by WHO. They can never be expected to do anything worthwhile, and their history proves it. Indeed the UN should be disbanded. At the very least Trump should have asked for the UN to remove itself from New York and move to Brussels. A lot of issues could have been resolved with this simple action.

Getting back to the issue of policing in America, according to Statistica, there have been approximately 700,000 full-time police officers in America from between 2004 and 2018.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/191694/number-of-law-enforcement-officers-in-the-us/

It is unlikely that there would be more than 0.1% who are unfit to be policing. That is about 700. Probably a lot less. And if there was a will to clean house internally, every police force could be cleaned out within day. That is essentially a non-issue.

What Americans do not understand is that ever since Barack Obama became president in 2008, THE RULE OF LAW WAS ABANDONED by the Democrats. Proof? Obama was at the head of the conspiracy to illegally remove Trump from office. This is not conjecture, but the hard facts are now with the DOJ. But no one has the guts to arrest and prosecute Obama. And America is based upon the rule of law. So now the extreme Leftists want to abolish policing in America.

Therefore. what the police forces throughout the states should do is march on Washington in full strength and demand that the rule of law be reinstated in the country. Imagine 700,000 police officers marching peacefully to the Capitol (but also ready to use lethal force against anyone who tries to oppose them).

Which means that:
1. Every law favoring criminals over law-abiding citizens must be abolished.
2. Every sanctuary city and and state must be declared to be lawless.
3. Every mayor, governor, and politician favoring lawlessness must be arrested.
4. Every illegal immigrant must be deported.
5. Every anarchist must be arrested and incarcerated.

If this is not done right now, America will fall into the hands of those who reject the laws of the land and the Constitution.

UN proved how useless they are in the Rwandan genocide
Correct. And many other genocides including those in the Balkans, etc. The UN is a bloated Leftist/Globalist/Islamist organization that should have been abandoned or disbanded a long time ago. At the very least they should have been kicked out of New York and all funding totally stopped. That money should have gone to build that wall on the southern border.

"The current U.N. regular budget calls for $5.4 billion over two years. By a formula based on the size of a country’s economy and other factors, America’s assessment is set at 22 percent, or about $1.2 billion." This was back in 2017.

Getting back to the USA, there should already have been a very detailed and effective strategy in place by the Trump administration to deal with anarchists and rioters in America since 2017. And it should have been executed perfectly starting May 25, 2020 -- the day Floyd was murdered.

Knowing what happened in Ferguson, there was no excuse to leave things to be addressed in a haphazard ad hoc manner. And no words needed to be said. Actions speak louder than words. The press should simply have been ignored, since they want the destruction of America.

When the mayor of Minneapolis failed to protect his city, he should have been immediately arrested, and replaced. And you could add the mayors of New York, Chicago, Seattle, etc to that list of irresponsible and unworthy mayors. Every one of them should have been arrested under federal laws.

What has happened over the last three weeks is not happenstance. Yet no one in the Trump administration had been given charge of a national strategy -- developed and in place in 2017 -- to deal with domestic terrorism in 2020. Otherwise we would not have seen the anarchy that has destroyed so many American cities.

I understand what you are saying, and I remember that situation of not wanting to be seen as some kind of teacher's pet or brown-noser as being part of the mindset earlier than you identify, by decades. Perhaps it has been present in one form or another all along, being an aspect or attribute of man's natural state of rebellion against authority. Removing appropriate disciplinary actions from the curriculum has been a huge mistake, and it is likewise wrong to coddle kids and treat them as if they deserve rewards which they have not earned. That seems to have really become a big thing these days. It would be better to help children discover what they are good at and encourage and support them in pursuing those things than acting as if they are good at something they are not just so they can fit in with their peers.

Of course his family and friends and those who loved George Floyd will have nice things to say and have fond memories of him. They have also mentioned his wrongs in life.

What happened to the pregnant woman was horrible and should have never happened to anyone.

What does that have to do with the police officer who had his knee on his neck for 6 mins and another almost 3 mins after he was unresponsive?

A police officer with history of using fatal force before and 17 complaints against him. A former head of police in New Orleans, Nashville and Washington state, said it was difficult to draw conclusions about Chauvin’s complaint file without more information but noted that 17 appeared to be higher than average.

People are saying very little about Chauvin. Noone is making a saint out George Floyd and he paid the price for what he did in his past. People need to stop deflecting from the issue of THAT DAY and that's police brutality. He was murdered and he should not have been. What happened to him was the straw that broke the camels back. It has happened TOO MANY times to unarmed people and something needs to be done about it.

The police made him part of this when they killed him. It's not just that "it was bad that it happened to him". Its that it was wrong THAT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. People are NOT JUST protesting because GEORGE FLOYD was killed. They are protesting the system that ALLOWED for George Floyd and many others to be killed.

Chavin was repeatedly accused of misconduct and allowed to continue his career abusing hia authority without fear of being held accountable. I'm talking about the peaceful protesting which are many.

Also to add,.....When someone says "Black lives matter too". People shout "all lives matter"!! Not one person says that when the hashtag #BlueLivesMatter is stated. Don't "all lives matter then"? It would appear that it's the Black that people have the problem with. Say what you will but it's true. Just like many points that I made through out this thread have been shown true and all I had to do was be silent and let folks talk and show their true colors.
