    I don't torch my Country at all. I don't give a flying fuq that something was approved if that something led to the murder of a person. Those you say approved whatever it is, ought to be charged as well.

    Are you saying that it is okay that Cops kill a person, in their care, who has a nasty history? Let's bring back lynch mobs, ey? So unfair. I blame the lefties, you?

    No I'm just going out of my way to make sure people know who their martyr was.

    Their martyr? Gawd, if the Cops had not killed him, he would have remained a nobody. That he is a 'martyr' you can put down to the Cops you seem to want to defend, because, and only because, they killed a black guy in their care who had a nasty rap sheet.

    All lives matter.

    His death was purely the accidental result of an approved maneuver that worked countless times before. But rather than recognize it had a hidden risk and should probably be reviewed these domestic terrorists allowed themselves to become pawns in yet another DNC orchestrated race riot.

    And btw don't let people see you say "all lives matter", come monday there will be a major push by reddit, youtube, google, twitter, facebook, instagram, amazon, microsoft, and dozens of other major labels to brand that phrase racist and all who use it racists.

    There are no doubt faults on both sides. But the precipitate-factor of these "demonstration activities" is the guy in the White House.

    Just because some juvenile-junkies used the demonstrations to rob-stores is NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER THE BLAME ON THEM. They were and are exercising their rights to demonstrate AGAINST a presidential governance that was inept and the principal cause of human death by its default of taking defensive action to prevent the deaths!

    That's the central-problem with blockhead Rightists in America. They think that "freedom" is constricted to business affairs and social matters are not predominent. Which is why the US has no National Healthcare program and No Financial-assistance for Tertiary-level Education!

    But, BIG-MONEY for the DoD - oh, we got plenty for that ... !

    Some juvenile-junkies - no afraid not, they number in the hundreds of thousands possibly millions nation wide. They "protest" by day and the destroy by night.

    And I'm sorry but I'm just not in the mood to give a damn about helping people with their healthcare right now. Normally I would be in support of things like healthcare for all, addressing income inequality, maybe even some environment stuff so long as its not part of a wealth redistribution scheme. But now? No, sorry but children don't get candy after trashing the play-room. And I'll never support more money for schools and education so long as liberalism has a stranglehold on the system. When our inner city school consume 500x the per-student amount but still churn out thugs, and when our universities allow professors to instruct students on how to riot then they wont get a damn ounce of support from me.

    I don't care about that crap you describe about reddit etc.

    Do you doubt the Cops killed him? If so.....why? Did not look accidental to me. It looked very deliberate, cool, in cold blood and calculated. How many minutes did that Cop have blocking his carotid artery?

    All lives matter.

    TEA PARTY ANYONE?

    From The Guardian here: The 'anti-lockdown' protests are about more than just quarantines

    Excerpt:
    Donald Dork does not know what to do with himself for the coming next four years. So, reelection-time for him has already started ...

    PS: And what has occurred with Covid-19 is the precipitation of his reelection campaign where his administration will be measured by the American voter towards whether they want yet another 4 years of it. (Covid's deaths will continue to mount, and they will have an important role to play in the November elections.)

    What I believe in is the factual evidence. Moreover, the reason the Lancet study was revoked was because of its lack of "authenticity" - which is very strange for Lancet.

    Since, however, it has been restated that the "hydroxychloroquine" solution is inadequate. See that from the Guardian here. AND KINDLY NOTE THE SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION - which is from a uniquely UK usage-study made by the University of Oxford. Which also declares the mentioned chemical's inadequacy in stopping Covid-19.

    There is no MAGIC FORMULA to cure Covid-19, as of yet. Just as there was none for its predecessor "SARS" in China (2002/4). So, the alternative remains to try to avoid Covid-19! And what is the best means for doing that?

    Lock-down
    , dammit!

    Which means, from Europe's experience that many Americans seem not to want, that "lock-down" is a measure of avoidance that has worked for the larger population in all European countries. It has not avoided Covid-19 deaths (especially amongst the elderly), but it has minimized their number.

    The only alternative objective thus is not to avoid deaths (with a magic-pill) but to minimize the number ... !

    You obviously do not believe in the mutuality of human emotion or sentiments and their autonomous convection (through the media).

    Too bad for you ...

    No one that has a lot of experience of living around black people is surprised at this level of violence.

    What happened in the U.S. is a warning to the world. Watch your radical leftists closely. They’re violent. They’ll loot, burn, and kill if not met with overwhelming force.

    That kind of maneuver is approved (only in some states) for aggressive action or people resisting arrest. Floyd was neither. In fact, he already had handcuffs on him. And, what was the purpose of the length of time he kept the knee there. He wasn't waiting for back up. So why so long? Especially when he was being told by Floyd and others around him that he couldn't breathe.

    Is the maneuver taught that a hand in the pocket makes it look especially cool?

    Where?

    There are indeed 15 tuition-free post-secondary schools in the US. (See here.)

    When each state has a free post-secondary instruction for all its residents, I'll ring the church bells.

    Don't expect to hear them any time soon ...

    The whole thing is disgusting. All of these "victims" are real pieces of work once you look into their record. Yet everyone acts as if it is systemic racism and blacks are so oppressed.

    What addle-headed nonsense.

    Let's see the factual evidence, the fruit of a university-level study.

    Till then, your post above isn't worth a pee in a pond ...

    Actually, if you were to honestly look into it, funding of college tuition is the most racist, anti-white process one can find in the US.
    I had to borrow to attend college. All of the black classmates I talked to were bragging about government paying for everything, even parking. And many of they would withdraw from courses after the deadline, so whatever government was paying for them was wasted.
    That’s when I started to turn from ultra liberal to moderate.

    Either trump goes or we have a hot civil war.

    This will not be tolerated much longer. Our most respected military leaders are turning on trump and denouncing him in droves. His own people are turning on him.

    Your chart is bunk, defense spending accounts for about 15% of the US budget, they conveniently left out non-discretionary entitlements.

    This whole Floyd issue is bunk, last year there were 10,000,000 arrests in the US, with 10 unarmed blacks killed (actually half attacked cops without a gun), 19 unarmed whites killed, and 89 cops dying. Black cops are just as likely to kill an unarmed suspect as white ones, and the number of unarmed blacks killed has been going down. At 13% of our population but with half the US murders, of course blacks will have more interactions with the police.

    Here's my anti-poverty program, finish high school, don't do drugs, don't have a baby out of wedlock, get a job, any job, and you have a very small chance of ending up in poverty.
