It’s odd to argue the police really aren’t that bad because they shoot everybody.

No one here has ever argued that the cops never unjustly shoot white people, Einstein. Keep arguing with the boogeyman in your head and/or that one person you came across on Twitter.
maybe if you spent just a little less time HERE and got out in the real would you would know what I said is actually true.Quote:

You telling me to get out in the real world? Holy ****, I may never recover from this fit of laughter!! :laugh:
Kind of hard to get good cops with the way they are attacked by the media and people these days.Quote:

Or perhaps because the work attracts a particular type of person that is far more predisposed to do things they shouldn't do like abuse their power. But those people don't want to get caught abusing their power. They just want a quiet time abusing their power out of the spotlight.Quote:

A recent poll illustrates the ideological divide between conservatives and others and explains why they are so fiercely resistant to Critical Race Theory.
Essentially, conservatives strongly believe racism is only personal, whereas Liberals (and others) believe it is systemic.
Which is why many conservatives feature the “I didn’t do anything bad” narrative, conveniently neglecting that much of their lifestyle (including their beloved freedoms) is built on a foundation of systemic inequalities — racism being chief among them.Quote:

Stories like these are tough to see, we need major change in how our justice system/police go about their business. Held for 33 days, no charges for doing anything wrong in the end, weren't wearing clothes in description of actual perpetrators (they did however fit "black male"), still will have this on their record unless they fight it as well (in a state they do not live), no previous criminal records as well.
It's very interesting how many people seemed to switch their opinion when it was just the term used compared to actually giving the definition then asking. If you describe what CRT is in actual words instead of people seeing/hearing just the term (which may be partisan/political as this is getting at) then a majority support teaching the general idea.Quote:

The issue is that conservatives look from now forward and think the solution is in equal opportunities in the systems NOW. I think the solution has to have nothing to do with race since it's a 3rd rail but in attacking the main contributing factors in the racially twisted outcomes by making life dramatically easier financially for the bottom half of the population. Of course to do that we'd have to fix the tax collection system (not currently racist) and fix the absurdly broken housing system (not currently racist) we have, and the reality is that the people in power who can make those changes have no interest in making those changes.Quote:
