    A law isn’t usually racist (it was trumps claim, not mine) but the enforcement of one can sure be racist. Glad to know you knew trump calling Biden racist was dishonest, you don’t seem to have minded though.

    When Kamala called him racist, was it also dishonest? Never mind. She already admitted, “it was a debate”. Guess tossing the race card during a debate is no biggie. But that’s the left for ya. The R word is meaningless now because once everyone is racist, no one really is.

    Well you said

    And now it's they are unusual, well what makes these unusual racist laws racist laws and can you name a few. Enforcement is another matter but Trump sure did a LOT more that Obama or Biden ever did.

    It’s a violation edit someone’s post and leave out context. When you can quote me honestly we can continue. I never called laws racist, that was the guy you defend at all costs. Sad that his lies dont bother you. Aren’t you worried that calling laws racist is bad for cops and laws?

    Rap music was possibly a factor.

    https://www.bartleby.com/essay/The-Impact-Of-Rap-Music-On-Today-F3XPBW3VUXYQ
    Researchers from Iowa State University and the Texas Department of Human Services found that aggressive music lyrics increase aggressive thought and feelings, might perpetuate aggressive behavior and have long term effects (American Psychological Association).

    Interesting paper. It makes sense to me. Listening to music with lyrics about crime might lead to criminal behavior.

    In a free society we shouldn't prohibit artists from using whatever lyrics they choose, but parents should be aware of what their children listen to and the effect it may have on them. In the interest of maintaining a civil society and preventing crime, should there be a public awareness campaign against these lyrics or the artists who use them? I'm thinking something like the anti-smoking ads I remember seeing as a kid.

    Another strategy might be to reach out to these artists directly and encourage them to clean up their lyrics for the good of all. Do they even realize the effect they are having?

    Drug Free School Zone laws that greatly increased mandatory minimums within a mile of a school unfairly targeted urban, primarily minority, areas.

    Nope.

    Those rules exist regardless of the surroundings. No one is forcing anyone to live within a mile of a school, that's hilarious. We don't re-draw legal lines around poor areas to give stupid people a second shot at obeying the law.

    Of course. She didn’t say the word, “you are a racist.” She only said he supported racist policy and was friends with racist people. Like when people said Trump locks people In cages like the Nazis, they weren’t calling him a Nazi. It’s like words and stuff. Implying racism isn’t really calling people racist. It’s a get of mail free card.

    the car was making a hard right, the video shows that, this cop was not in danger, the car was not stolen, the kids just picked up their friend and were leaving, and they panicked when all the cops went crazy

    When the cop started firing the car was heading right at him. If he waited another milli-second he could easily have been dead.

    If he’s calling actual Nazis, Nazis, then he’s just stating the obvious. Calling Trump or anyone who agrees with him a Racist or Nazi is just being crazy. And the MSM and many Democrats have been non stop crazy for 4 years.

    Watch again. There's no way the officer could know if the fleeing vehicle would crush him or turn to the right when he started firing. It was coming right at him. Perhaps if the left and BLM would cease with the evil mantra to hate the police then this never would have happened.

    I watched it, this was a bad shooting, no reason for it, the cop was never in danger, he would of had to run and jump in front of the car

    Cite where those laws speak of the race of the offender and LOTS of people live with a mile of a school not just minorities.

    Which will get you shot has nothing to do with race and those other "innocent people" are not innocent if they pull a weapon or threaten a police officer. It's REAL simple follow the orders of law enforcement if they are attempting to take you into custody.

    When you refuse to cooperate with the police, refuse multiple orders and are in a potentially deadly vehicle the police will and should pull their weapons on you. Friendly suggestion, don't accelerate your vehicle towards them when they do this. Quit the hate speech towards our police or more young people will commit this kind of suicide.

    That scared feeling when committing a crime and you've put police officers lives' at risk? That's how you know you're fu***** up. They were criminals with stolen weapons and property, after 10 years as an LEO that was indeed a clean and necessary shoot. They had every chance to stop.
