i would not fund cops to have access to bullions of dollars weapons when people are going hungry cos all the money that could be allocated to health care and education was spent on ....bullets.

hospitals and schools have to beg for funds while arm dealers have a sure deal and will always be funded.

Hospitals are not begging for anything. Schools suffer under the weight of unions and bad policy. However, it is mostly Democrats that are teaching, especially in Collages and Universities.

OK. So you are actually responding to something she said some time back. Sorry, but it would help if you had quoted her.

Thanks

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.

well in america they dont truly understand democracy. everyone seems afraid if they arenot the majority that things wont turn out great for them. thats why minorities feel they have to speak up because if they are outnumbered with votes they can never influence anybody by sheer numbers.

As far as I know, I am on the same planet as everyone else, although I believe I live in a different country than you do.

I did not grow up in the US and have not had the experience of all this interaction with black people before moving here. It is painful to see it quite frankly. However, I disagree with all the blame blame blame going on.

this is why public hospitals which are free (in my country) are often underfunded. I guess americans dont have public healthcare at all. only rich can afford it.

I think getting rid of police all together would be a terrible idea but I think it's blatantly obvious by now that we need police reform

well it would be good if they got their act together but people are just fed up with them.
it will take ages for reform but they have to do it otherwise it will be anarchy if it isnt already.
