Why didn’t they #BackTheBlue last summer when rioters burned our major cities?
Just how are they “supporting” the police when it’s politically beneficial?
Because the January 6th commission is letting the police officers tell their story?
The Democrats just need information from them. How does that change anything about their “support” for the police? When have the Democrats ever asked for the police being beaten, tased and threatened with death, by a angry mob?
You don't want your claims debunked of Antifa and BLM being involved in the capital riot.
The idea is to move budget from policing to prevention. Helping people works better against crime than punishing people.
Chicago spends 37% of their budget on the police. Is that the safest city? New York City spends 7.7% of it's budget on the police. Do they have the highest crime rate?

So, is that not good enough for you? How many cops would you like to have walking around?
I actually don't care about how much police you are willing to have. You are paying for it and you will be living in a police state if you keep hiring more cops. What I care about is the idea that you can only reduce crime with more and more police. It's not true. Did you make your decision to not become a criminal based on the number of cops walking around? I don't think you did. Why are you always thinking that other people are so different?
People go into crime when they don't see any other chance to pull themselves out of misery. Instead of throwing money at the police, it would be wiser spend on preventing misery. Sometimes that doesn't even require tax-payer money. Just making employers pay better wages will reduce misery and even increase your economy. It will also lower your taxes.

Who said "get rid of the police"?
The "defund the police" movement, is one of reimagining the current police system to build an entity that does not violate us, while relocating funds to invest in community services.
Let’s be clear, the people who now oppose this, have always opposed calls for systematic change. only registered users can see external links

I believe we need to protect families who need help, and ICE isn’t doing that. It has become a deportation force. We need to separate immigration issues from criminal justice. We need to abolish ICE, start over and build something that actually works. only registered users can see external links

Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period.

When we say #DefundPolice, what we mean is people are dying and we need to invest in people's livelihoods instead.
EXAMPLE: Detroit spent $294 million on police last year, and $9 million on health.

Another unarmed black man, shot in the back, by a WI police officer! No matter the outrage at the killing of George Floyd by a police officer, knee on his neck, the killing of black men continues. Is this a defiance by the police that indicates they don’t intend to stop?

This is the same Sacramento Police Department that murdered #StephonClark. The leadership of the department, and all of these officers, must be fired. Then, the department must be dismantled and policing reimagined.pic.twitter.com/c8dORCjsKG

For those who think spending more on policing works, look at St. Louis.
We spend more per capita on police than 85% of police depts, yet 68% of violent crimes go unsolved. And police kill us at the highest rate in the nation.
Police don’t need more money. Our communities do.

ICE has kept a 7 year old captive & alone for FOUR MONTHS with no parents around.
This is cruel and unusual punishment. The Eight Amendment strictly prohibits government from acting this way.

Do we really think our local police departments need weapons of war like:

Bayonets?
Explosives?
Weaponized Drones?
None of these weapons belong on our streets against American civilians.
We must #DemilitarizeThePolice today. It's past time we did.

And, by the way, this is not just an American issue. Slavery has taken place in many many places. Ancient Greece. Rome. North Africa. Africa. Europe. China.... If you want to see what happens to civilizations who owned slaves, open a history book and look at slavery in the distant past, say 2000 years ago, and see what the future had for those civilizations. History repeats itself. You will thus find out what the US will go through as a result of the reckless actions of the "forefathers".
Of course, recognising the huge mistakes of their ancestors doesn't absolve their current actions. Things are the way they are and every human being should respect every other.
Incidentally, it appears, historian friend of mine tell me, that the Jews were enslaved because they were the attackers and oppressors of the time. That part of history EA's written by the Jews and they decided not to write or tell the full truth in their favourite books, e.g. the old testament.
I agree that death-by-cop is a crime, one that is excused because of the status of cops in the US. By the way, the only country in the "developed" world were cops have very little education+training is the US. In many other countries, cops must learn not only how to shoot but also take courses in human behaviour, in history, in psychology etc. Not in the US.
In history, many slaves were soldiers of a defeated enemy. In the last 500 years slaves were just overrun by better armed forces. In the US the African was an easy target but in the rest of the new world, the local native Americans were even easier to enslave. Whites did not get off Scott free. Indentured servants often ended up in a life of slavery
There has been constitutional admins to give equal rights to everyone.
The simple facts are that democrats won't let the issues die down and make work more feasible to support a family than welfare and have taken away the need for a mother-father parent system to raise children.
Children of minority's are raised to believe the system owes them something and until that is fixed. nothing will improve.
All races can walk into the school in their district and get a education grades 1 thru 12.the system is there, USE IT.
Make good grades, get a scholarship, have average grades, get a job. What 1 races ancestors did to another races ancestors is history, learn from it and don't repeat it.
The Democrats won't let the issues die because these issues have not been fixed.
You say make work more feasible to support a family instead of welfare? You want to know what that means in hourly pay?
Living Wage 0 children $18.66 one child $40.34
Welfare payments vary by state, but the average family of four in the United States can receive as much as $900 per month. A single person may receive as much as $200 per month. Try feeding and keeping shelter for a family of four on $900. That's why I laugh when you blab about big black families have many children so as not have to work. You are so out of touch, my friend
Come on, tell us how that is impossible. Children of minorities are right to believe the system owes them something. Welfare crumbs is not it.
So you think All races can walk into the school in their district and get a education grades 1 thru 12.the system is there, USE IT.
Do you really believe education in a ghetto school is equal to a white neighborhood? In my county ghetto schools get the hand-me-downs from the white schools.
Books are dilapidated and out of print. Labs have no equipment. PE classes have no equipment. The wonder is that ghetto kids still strive to do something with their lives. Even with drug dealers in the school corners, they still manage to shine.
Phart, you live in a world of lies. You've been given the wrong ideas about what the REAL WORLD is like.
I don't see those income requirements you are stating. This must be for a completely dependent on the outside world family that has no garden, no resources for self sufficiency at all.
Familys around here would live like kings on 40 bucks a hour! Wow.

THESE TOTALS ARE MEDIAN NUMBERS IN MIAMI. THERE ARE MANY BIG CITIES IN THE US WHERE THE COSTS WOULD BE DOUBLE OR MORE.
RENT. $1500.00. Average rent in Miami
ELECTRICITY. $. 225.00. Only if window a/c is used
WATER/SEWER. $. 79.00
CELL PHONE. $. 150.00 $50 for 3 people
FOOD. $. 450.00.
MEDICAL INSURANCE $. 250.00
GAS. $. 320.00
———————
$2974.00
Using these numbers, one income earner would need to make about $20/hour. Your self sufficiency is well and good if you live in a rural area, but, most of the population lives in the cities.
The justification for using people like that, was that they looked different and had a less technically advanced society. They were of a different race and therefore inferior and therefore had only economic value. The definition of racism.
"Before 1860, the Democratic Party supported limited government and state sovereignty while opposing a national bank and high tariffs." Doesn't that sound like the current Republican party?
"The GOP was founded in 1854. The party supported economic reform and classical liberalism..." (doesn't that sound like the current Democratic party?) "...while opposing the expansion of slavery. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president.
Under the leadership of Lincoln and a Republican Congress, slavery was banned in the United States in 1865." So, you say 'gotcha!' it was the Republicans! And you deny everything else. Childish, but to be expected from a present-day Republican.
"After 1912, the Republican Party began to undergo an ideological shift to the right. Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the party's core base shifted, with southern states becoming more reliably Republican in presidential politics. After the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, the Republican Party opposed abortion in its party platform and grew its support among evangelicals. Its 21st-century ideology is American conservatism, which incorporates both social conservatism and fiscal conservatism. The GOP supports lower taxes, free-market capitalism, restrictions on immigration, increased military spending, gun rights, restrictions on abortion, deregulation, and restrictions on labor unions."
So does the shame of slavery stick to whatever the party was called at that time
or does it stick to the people who had the ideology that made them want to continue slavery so bad, they even went to war over it?
The ideology that kept supporting slavery was conservatism.
The ideology that led to the abolition of slavery was liberalism.
So do you like it that ideology of the Republican Party once was liberalism?
Will you vote now for the Democratic Party, because they once supported limited government and state sovereignty?
Will you denounce conservatism, because it once supported slavery?
The California representative, who is the ranking Republican member on the House Intelligence Committee, was interviewed on Thursday on the Sara Carter Show podcast where he made the claim, The Blaze reported.
“I’m still positive, and I guess I have to be, that people are going to go to jail, and they are going to be prosecuted for the Russia grand fiasco and the Russia hoax,” he said on the show.
Durham launched the investigation into allegations that the investigation into alleged connections between Donald Trump and Russia were politically motivated.
“It may not be as broad as we want it to be,” the representative said of the report.
“But look, there are some major perpetrators,” he said. “I think, as you and everybody else know, we’ve made over 14 criminal referrals. That doesn’t mean 14 individuals. That means 14 different criminal referrals involving multiple individuals.”
He also warned the Biden administration to not stick its nose into the investigation or it will face consequences.
“That would be a big issue, especially if Republicans get control back of the Congress because we have subpoena power,” he said.
Durham’s investigation, which has been ongoing since spring 2019, has so far resulted in just one successful conviction, that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. He plead guilty to altering an email used to justify surveillance on Carter Page, who was working with the Trump 2016 campaign at the time.
Clinesmith apologized for the error and said that he committed the document falsification only to save himself some time. He was sentenced in January to 12 months probation and 400 hours community service.
In June, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said on Fox News that he was angry the report had not been released earlier.

“We were supposed to have the Durham report over a year ago,” Jordan said. “I just don’t know where that is.”
Trump was also aggravated that the report was taking so long.
Trump issued a statement in June decrying the time it has been taking Durham to produce the report that many believed would have been issued prior to the 2020 presidential election.
“Where’s Durham? Is he a living, breathing human being? Will there ever be a Durham report?” Trump said Friday night in a message from his official 45 Office email account.
But a report from Fox News said that Durham is taking his time on the investigation, with many concerned about how quiet he has been.
One source with knowledge of the investigation said Fox News on Monday that the probe has been “eerily quiet,” with another source saying that there has been “radio silence.”
“It’s dead quiet,” another source said, but they said that they are “sure it is ongoing.”
“He is not the kind of guy to be idle,” the source said to Fox News. “He is a very diligent, hardworking, serious guy.”
The source said. “He wouldn’t stay in that job a minute longer than he has to.”
Durham’s investigation has produced one criminal charge so far, against former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who was accused of altering an email related to the surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
That prosecution, though, did not allege a broader conspiracy within the FBI, and the conduct it involved had largely been laid out in a Justice Department inspector general report from last December. Clinesmith in August pleaded guilty to making a false statement to Durham’s team.
The offense carried a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service, and no fine.
AMEN
The Americen people deserve to know why our citys were burned and property was stolen and nothing of substance was done about it. WHO paid the bail,WHO paid for the food and water for those people? WHO organized those riots? WHO?
DEFUND BLM!
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people.[1][2][3][4][5] While there are specific organizations such as the Black Lives Matter Global Network that label themselves simply as "Black Lives Matter", the Black Lives Matter movement comprises a broad array of people and organizations. The slogan "Black Lives Matter" itself remains untrademarked by any group.[6] The broader movement and its related organizations typically advocate against police violence toward black people as well as for various other policy changes considered to be related to black liberation.[7]
How do you defund a private entity?
NOT the world health organization, WHO as in what person or persons or group.

Nice statement!
'Even democrats' supports the fact that democrats in general have higher morals
and the whole statement supports the fact that more Republicans are racist.
There are also racists who vote for the Democrats... Who would've thunk it?
The Netherlands were great a trading slaves, it was a big part of the economy.
We have learned (some things) from our mistakes.
Was it moraly right? No, but was it legal? Yes. So why was it a mistake? Was it done by accident? No.
DID YOU personaly own or sell a slave? No,neither have I. So it was not "OUR" mistake. It was our ancestors. it was also the ancestors of the blacks that were bought from other tribes and resold. SO no one is owed,no one owes. It is time to drop the subject world wide and move on.NO one is selling or buying slaves now,so there is no need to keep harping on the subject.
We are no longer slaves,we are taxpayers.
So is quitting actually an option, if you then can't pay for housing or food?
It's difficult applying for another job, if you're always working.
Please simplify.
You know, even Azeris are racist.
