CNN is lying when they say Ferguson protests were ‘peaceful’

[church mouse guy]

The op is about the actual lack of peaceful protesters and CNN trying to make it look like peaceful protests are the majority of what is going on. They tried to accomplish this not by interviewing peaceful protesters (because they could not find any) but by only having "experts" be interviewed.

CNN is lying because they are scrambling to deflect thinking from the fact that Ferguson and its mishandling by Nixon and others partially caused the massive defection from the Democrat Party. Two thirds of white working people have left the Democrat Party. That is why Hillary so desperately needs extra-terrestrials and zombies to register and vote Democrat in 2016.

Zaac, you've said a couple times that there are standards that keep black men off the police force. I can't quite wrap my head around that. How can a universal standard be racist? Can you give an example of an actual standard that could possibly be racist?

I'm not saying there isn't. I just can't understand how there possibly could be.

That is a good question but it is off topic in this thread. Maybe you should start a thread on that.

I can't hardly wait to hear it, if he answers at all.

Hey Sapper. Long time no speak. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I didn't say racist in reference to the standards. But they can be discriminatory. If you can show that the qualifying standards or something about them disproportionately disqualifies people of a specific race, color, religion, age, etc, then the qualifying standard is deemed discriminatory.

That's why I said that it's probably not a bad idea to have the DOJ look into the hiring practices of the Ferguson Police Department. 3 out of 53 when nearly 70% of the town is Black? That's just crazy and dangerous because anything the police department does is going to be looked at like an "us against them" situation.

If I were the mayor, the first thing I would have done upon taking office is started to even out those numbers.

It creates a very dangerous situation for the police when you've got communities of black people who essentially feel like they are once again being lorded over by white slave masters on a plantation.

People, no matter what their skin color, need to be able to have a connection to the people who are policing them. But the Ferguson situation is just crazy. 3 out of 53.

I'm not saying there isn't. I just can't understand how there possibly could be.

I believe there was a case against BMW a few years ago where they were using criminal background checks as a condition for hiring. There was also one against Pepsi. It's not illegal to require a background check. But if your requirement disparately impacts one of those protected groups, then it's considered discriminatory.

And when there is only 3 out of 53 black police officers in a town that's nearly 70% black, something is wrong.

What if only 6% of the qualified applicants are black? Would something still be wrong?

 

[Zaac]

What if only 6% of the qualified applicants are black? Would something still be wrong?

It still presents a case of prima facie discrimination. In a city that's nearly 70% black, what are you including in your "qualifications" that's disqualifying so many Blacks in comparison to Whites?

This is where the EEOC violations occur.

It could be something perfectly innocent or that looks innocent to the people doing the hiring.

But if the disparate impact presents a case where a disproportionate number of individuals in a protected class are being "disqualified", then legally, the qualifications need to be looked at.

Or at least become consistent and be "extreme when it comes to curt and pithy" all the time, like me!

You have such a high opinion of yourself, I'll bet your feet never touch the ground! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[righteousdude2]

Curiosity killed the cat and it might kill The Dude too. You know, that's not how ignore is supposed to work! You are supposed to ignore me. Your ramblings show your anger...you have trouble putting together intelligible thoughts when you aren't flustered, but when that anger kicks in your rambling starts to make no sense.

Just a brotherly reminder, Mr. Wade!

Why don't you go and right another vanity published book? Or pay to have your name in another Who's Who?

Look like the green-eyed monster got you again!

Song of Solomon 8:6 - Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.
1Corinthians 13:4 - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it his not arrogant.
Philippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
James 3:14-15 - But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
Psalm 37:1-3 - Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
James 3:16 - For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
Proverbs 14:30 - A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.


Oh, one more thing Mr. Wade .... I believe you meant to say "write' not ' right? And you claim I "ramble" when I get angry; silly wabbit. Trix are for kids, not immature adults!

The truth is, I'll let the Bible do my speaking about your anger and hate towards me. I think you need to put me on IGNORE, since reading my comments causes you to stumble over your own admitted hate and wanton disregard for me.

You are correct. I made a misspelling, from my phone, in my haste.

No ignore for you. You provide a daily dose of amusement for me. I enjoy laughing at the absurdity of the things you post.

He's not going anywhere Matt. You present a challenge for him and he has to show those who think like him that he can keep the mean and nasty schtick up and remain in the group.

Plus it gives him the attention that he CRAVES.

Your ego must be huge. Did your wife hide all your mirrors?

BINGO! Man you are good at what you do! I's craves da 'tention, man!

Speaking of absurdities...

The funniest part is that you still have me on ignore, so you have to take extra steps to see every one of my posts.

Your ego must be a difficult thing to avoid! In fact your knees must be pretty skinned up from tripping over your ego all the time. So don't flatter yourself. I took everyone off ignore, because like you I was getting bored and needed some late night entertainment. Man I miss Leno :laugh::

Man you took us off IGNORE because we make you feel relevant. For a good minute you kept up that sham of "somebody else read your comments and told me about it".

You can't stand not having attention. That's why you make ridiculously inane threads and posts that make no good sense or serve any purpose other than keeping you "relevant" with the board's "political conservatives". :laugh:

And your only reason for being on the board is what???

You hardly create a post thread. However, you are always in the mix, stirring the pot of racism and religious bunk. If you think, I am here only to be relevant with other conservatives, then you must be here to be a constant pain in the rearward portion of everyone's conservative derriere. :smilewinkgrin:
