He failed a field sobriety test and then resisted arrest, stole a taser, ran away and when he pointed the taser at the police he got shot. MSM is quick to ignore the fact that he attacked police officers, they only see the end result and act like there was no good reason for the shooting. Too bad so sad Rayshard. You were an idiot, and now instead of paying for a DUI ticket you're pushing up daisies. CTV just said "He was running from the police and got shot in the back. CTV is pure filth.

I like the idea, but the brick won't fit in my wallet. Hmm but like the Fed pumping money into the collapsing system, having these bricks everywhere is also devaluing the currency! And then the good run out.

Defunding has become a vague term. I suspect most people using it do not mean getting rid of the police. Reallocating some funds to other departments is one interpretation.There’s no question that police unions in the US have become belligerent monsters who terrify politicians. An exception is made for this particular union even by inveterate union-busters. It’s high time their wings were clipped.

In addition to the miles of string and tons of post-it notes you've already invested in this forum?

On an intellectual level I can say, looking on it and with a little time, that they should not have shot this individual. Don't get me wrong. I don't care about Rayshard Brooks. He is, in my opinion, the author of his own misfortune. He drank and drove, and he resisted arrest, took a police taser and pointed it at them. Too bad, so sad. A case of Darwin's law here. But I understand the police instinct, and I think almost any cop would have shot him under those circumstances.

At some point people need to take responsibility for their actions. This instance isn’t even close to being in the same ball park as George Floyd. But the world continues to have lost its mind, abandoning all logic and reason. I’m hoping this will pass soon.

I watched the video again. I'll have to agree with Eyeball. Timer: 6:55 The first cop did have things under control. No matter what other scenarios preceded that - the first cop got this chief under control. He had the chief's arm, and the chief was not really resisting - they were walking together - when the second cop came running and slammed into the chief. There was no need for the second cop to react in that violent way. The very presence of the second cop would establish that control even more. All he had to do was be there, to see to it that there wouldn't be any problems, and be ready to assist as necessary.

Mine was in reference to the Russians being their creditors. Of course these disaffected youth do not want vodka, but their comrades will see to it they get whatever they want. First step to deal with them, all of them should be photographed and identified using the new facial recognition software. Then put the information in the local police database.

Sure it does, This is Antifa, aren't they the CNN heroes? They glorified the movement for a while, if I recall. Shall we ask people who openly carry AR-15's what is in their hearts? No thank you. I can figure that out for myself. There is no need to pretend we are above second-guessing what is quite obvious. Only a fool would think they are standing there for the welcome committee.

Did you catch Michaelle Jean's contribution to race relations in the Globe the other day? "Of all the scourges afflicting humanity, the most devastating and recurrent is racism. Largely propelled by the ideological belief in the supremacy of a “white race," this infamy was forged in the fire and fury of colonial conquest, a true calamity inflicted around the globe." This despite the fact any reasonable assessment would show that white countries are the least racist in the world. And not a word about the racism in Africa, Asia, India or the Middle East from her. Then she goes on to mention slavery, but only the slavery which involved white people. No mention of the far larger slavery which brought black Africans up the east coast of Africa and into the middle east centuries before Columbus found America, much less the million or more white Europeans captured and enslaved by Barbary warlords and pirates. And of course, nothing about the slavery in China and India and other countries. It's all the fault of those horrible white people.

Already this tiny Socialist utopia is asking for goods from the "outside world" because as history has taught us,Socialism has to leech off of the capitalist system in one way or another to meet it's needs. They have that sense of entitlement common to that mindset. Brainwashing is alive and well.

The progressive shit show continues.
