Pay Attention

You are hilarious. If he REALLY wants to help the black community, tell him to push for the police to stop murdering unarmed Blacks. Push for the indictment of the murderers and a national change in policing policies that sends white people to jail too.

So line the white men up to help with THAT and they might listen to ya.

Zaac, I agree with you.
Murder is murder and murderers must be brought to justice no matter their skin color or position in life.

I posted this AFTER Zaac's Amen:
BTW, I don't particularly like some of the things Trump has done and said but if I vote for him it is because he IMO is the lesser of two evils.

A big hearty AMEN Hank.

I am not a BLM supporter (because of the attendant violence associated with it.) except I would accept their BASIC philosophy and that is to say that ALL lives matter. Black, white, yellow, red, unborn, whatever.

However I do agree that there is no doubt police crimes which have not been brought to justice because of cover-ups, etc and that is horrendous.

I greatly admire law enforcement.
I come from a law enforcement family on my mother's side.

Law enforcement officers (LEO) know full well what they are getting into when they join the force.
If they make a wrong decision in a split second situation it may very well end their law enforcement career.

One thing every LEO knows - they are not above the law.

Unfortunately there is the Blue Wall of Silence - TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! IMO.

As far as I have seen on the news outlets, Police killings are investigated and many even tried in a court of law. Some are acquitted and some are convicted. Do you have a list of examples of a few dozen or so that are murders that have not been given any justice? I mean you think it is a huge problem I would think you would have a huge list of injustices.

You may need to pay closer attention. Most of them the prosecutors won't indict because they work with the police officers day in and day out. So no charges end up being brought. So instead of the dead person being afforded due process and brought before a judge for his "Crime", the officers are playing jury, judge and executioner LITERALLY. And then not being charged.

Some are acquitted and some are convicted. Do you have a list of examples of a few dozen or so that are murders that have not been given any justice? I mean you think it is a huge problem I would think you would have a huge list of injustices.

Here's a starting point. You seem to think murdering folks over stupid stuff and bypassing due process for their petty indiscretions and then just killing them is okay.

Ask the parents of one of these faces if they got justice.

I agree again Hank. The hypocrisy of the police in this regard is incredible. Because you will often hear them telling the folks in the urban neighborhoods that they've got to stop worrying about the "snitch" label and do what's right.

I don't know if you are really informed well. Do you have any names of shootings that were found to be murder and a Police Office did not get put behind bars? Surely there should be evidence of such a strong charge against Police.

I gotta tell you guys, from you guys comments, it sounds like you two have a problem with a white man reaching out to the black community to actually help them. Now isn't that a sign of racism on display? For the first time in the past 60 years we have a candidate (from either party) actually addressing the black communities situation and we have some folks that hate that. Now why is that? The only thing I can think of is that these folks don't want to see the blacks helped! Now who are these folks? Are they white? Something isn't right about this conversation......

Really, here are two Trump quotes about blacks.


“Laziness is a trait in blacks.”

“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
