But Palestinians are targeted as antisemitic

@@kickinbackinOC Unfortunately, it hasn't been a regression. In fact, excluding the last handful of years, we are probably the most progressive we have ever been as a nation. Unfortunately, we are still disgustingly in the past on so very many fronts. At least now these issues are recorded at every moment and they cannot simply be denied any longer. It is a long, hard road, but I believe in our ability to be kind, decent human beings. The protests give me hope.

I mean, there is a joke in there somewhere, where the right claims the left are a bunch of "triggered snowflakes", while it is FAR easier to offend a typical right wing person than it is to offend a typical left wing person. Granted, there are still plenty of easily offended people on the left, and some, I assume, not as easily offended people on the right. Admittedly, it would be best if the main conflict in the US was a class struggle all along, but elites were smart, and they divided along cultural and racial lines. Nowadays, it might honestly be too late. The elite have truly consolidated almost all wealth, and power, and it will take a miracle to set things right without SEVERE casualties, and even then only if all people unite.

@Losing Bigly but by 2029 the 1.5 degree global climate goal will be reached and the earth will heat up without a break and there will be no way to stop it

@@jonasrmb01 Reminds me of the old episode of the Twilight Zone where the earth fell out of orbit, and the sun was burning up the planet. There was no night. I believe it was called "The Midnight Sun". Something like that. Anyway, your comment about the earth heating up without a break and no way to stop it just made me think of that episode. I was just a kid, and it was very scary. It's stuck with me all these years.

Your breath stinks.

David Hoffnung they apeal to their audience for ratings. just as the liberals do

Antonio C-P Truth. Almost the entirety of popular "news media" on "both" sides is just frothing sensationalism. It isn't Fox's "conservative" stance that bothers me so much as how they go about it - and in this way, they stand out to me the most. That said, the rest aren't really any better. The best recommendation I could make to anyone is just to get your news from multiple sources, trying to include dryly factual reports in the mix with all the editorials - and draw your own conclusions from the mix while being aware of the biases held by each source.

Antonio C-P I also want to point out a different thing... I think the reason that I and a bunch of other people enjoy Comedy Central's silly editorial "news" programs more than Newscorp's inflammatory editorial "news" programs has more to do with the flavor of the content than the content itself. CC raises heavy issues with a light heart. They make infuriating stuff hilarious - and it's funny when they're wrong, too. Fox, instead, uses emotions of fear, anger, and the in-group mentality to deliver their content. It makes me physically upset to watch programming like that - and yet, I can totally deal with some goofy guy making a joke about horrible violence in the middle-east. I think having different voices (the more the merrier!) out there is essential for the American Experiment to work out - but I also think that the voices capable of humor and subtlety catch the ears of many people easier than otherwise. Flies and honey and all that.

Gandalf Greyhame I think YOU should for thinking you have any kinda authority over another poster.

Grape koolaid You didn't watch the video did you lol

Matthew Ferguson I watch all of daily show vids. Are you saying this poster opinion has authority over another's opinion?

The quote is from Eric Garner, a black man killed by a chokehold from a white policeman back in 2014. The officer wasnt indicted, but New York did settle for compensation for Garner's family, which, if you stop to think about, isn't it weird? A crime is commited, the state aknowledges it, pays (rightfully) due to a settlement, yet no one gets arrested?

Unfortunately, it's been around longer then that. People are just now understanding.

We've been through this before. Many times. If I remember right this is what started Black Lives Matter. I'm hopeful that this time at least some progress is and will be made because of just how much it all got thrown in our faces (a lot of cops just apparently saying fuck humanity during these protests and beating up everybody, including journalists and random bystanders). I've been in a lot of uncomfortable conversations this last few weeks, for the better, and Minneapolis is actually charging the cops for murder + currently working on a police "do over". So I'm cautiously hopeful this time around. But I'm not going to be too surprised if we see this again in another year.

It's the "normal" guy with any sense of what decency means that speaks, anything else (color, age, gender, whatever) that is called into question, doesn't has any effect, because "old" common decency, and nowadays, common sense, is what drives the entire humanity forward!

Ofc he/her can, but in the end there are questions (real issues) that go beyond anyone's little life problem may be...And that's why I LOVE HUMANITY!

Add another to that.

Dont expect much sympathy from the right/conservative crowd. They dont care. They are to worrying about damage control and trying to mitigate the damage on their own side and blaming the other side, which is totally missing the point.

Xxx

***** "The president is black and a democrat! What did he do about Treyvonne Martin or Michael Brown? Absolutely nothing! He basically said the whole sympathy cop out statement "that could have been my child" Your statement is completely wrong and at the very best ignorant... Obama actually made statements about how they had to come to justice and find out what happened in those cases, but what did you seriously expect him to do? It's literally out of his jurisdiction to make any judge on what happens to these murderers, and is in no position to even say whether he thinks the murderers are guilty regardless of how obvious it is. Nixon got in major shit and almost screwed up the proceedings to the Charles Manson trial by simply staying that he thought Manson was guilty (because it was painfully obvious he was). Obama is too smart to make a mistake like that. Perhaps your uneducated, or maybe you really are a moron, but before you go on calling other people idiots maybe you want to make sure that what you're saying actually makes sense.

***** I can't comment on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but I can tell you that Obama can't do jack shit about Treyvonne Martin and Michael Brown. What did you expect him to do? He can't just swoop in and declare the officers guilty. That would be something that only a dictator would do.

@@jamesbraun867 how uncultured are you, you inbred swine?

Check out Some More News

Brandon Lester The problem isn't as bad in Canada-but our population is considerably less too. Checking recent history, even with the provincial review boards, there's been racial profiling, unarmed black men killed by white police officers-and no charges laid. This "phenomenon" could easily be called a *global problem.*

It is a horrible problem, I do wonder if its a training issue or the people we are allowing in the ranks of police.

j trace Yes-both-and more. Not just training but *continuing education* and evaluation can help immensely. Likewise, it really does help civilians to not appear threatening in any way. Police do scare easily-because of the nature of their profession. Still, the bad cops need to be weeded out, rejected, and (a few) maybe even kept on a watch list. All sorts of people apply to be police-even those with mental health issues. Good cops serve and protect; bad cops shoot first, ask questions -later- ... well, ... dead people can't answer. It doesn't take a genius to know that a bad cop shot and killed Tamir Rice-but guns aren't the problem-as we saw with Eric Garner. Breathing is a fundamental right.

I have often wondered how long someone can be a police officer, on average, before suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The carnage they see at crime scenes, the state of victims of violent crime and the constant stress of putting their lives on the line everyday could easily traumatize someone. I figure it is just a matter of time. I would wager that many cases go undiagnosed and untreated. Maybe we work these guys too hard. Maybe we should just assume that an officer has PSTD after a certain amount of time on the job has been served and provide treatment accordingly. I also think we should pay them more money for their service which might help to justify requiring that higher standards be met before someone can be a police officer, including an extensive psyche evaluation. Just a thought.

Chick Sage IMO, people who haven't had PTSD have a hard time comprehending it. Interesting thought, yours-if only the current government wasn't hell bent on cutbacks to health care services.... *$36 billion* is a bit much. Again IMO, if it were scientifically deemed _necessary_ for health-why not?-police should get in line-right behind veterans. The problem is that good ideas cost the government money-that they don't want to spend. (They have _other plans_ for it.)

RainPoetry this is a racist country?

Antonio C-P The very ground has prejudices against immigrants.

+RainPoetry - Exactly. To say "I am not racist at all" before even thinking about it properly, is the same as saying "It doesn't matter how racist I am, I ain't changing for nobody". We can never grow if we don't admit we're not already perfect, and nobody really reaches perfect, so life becomes either a journey of change from an innocent but naive state, through various partially informed states, to a relatively aware state if we're open-minded and determined enough... or it becomes a journey of random changes motivated largely by narrow-minded self-interest and a hopeless desire to avoid all change. And that's coming from someone who *hates* sudden, unnecessary changes in life.

Hello from 2020 👋🤦‍♂️

10grandredline well said! I'm a liberal, but a call for justice seems pretty apolitical to me :)

10grandredline Hum... Do I sense sarcasm?

AKArainkit "The courts are responsible for interpreting the laws as the majority of citizens see fit" is a dead giveaway, methinks. Unless it's just misunderstanding of Constitutional theory. I'd also argue it's a misunderstanding of the situation, the difference between systematic inequality and specific instances, and what liberal reformers actually want, but that's to be expected

10grandredline The opinions of the people are not important. the laws are important. the entire reason we have laws is so mobs dont decide how things work in this country

Antonio C-P I'm not sure this is entirely on the mark either. The opinions of people naturally shape laws over time, however, traditions of law allow us to logically negotiate these changes without endangering concepts we find important (cf. the rights of minorities). We can talk about law without resorting to vaguely misanthropic Burkean rhetoric

He may be a psychotic nutcase, but he's *our* psychotic nutcase! ...Which, by my own reasoning, means we should put him in *our* loony bin until such time as he is relatively stable, and then give him a job that does *not* involve access to a firearm or other hazardous implement. o.o

How can a machine indict you of a crime, and if the crime is not witnessed by a person how is it a crime? Crime requires Victims, perpetrators and witnesses. The witnesses give the statement to the peace officer, the peace officer brings it to a judge. This is recording footage of a roadway and reviewing it later. That would be entrapment at the very least. Using the freedom of the people against them in order to criminalize a normal behaviour. For one the cyclon cop (the video machine) is unable to judge, and it requires a human brain to make decisions like this. Sometimes the cop doesn't punish everyone on the road because "thats fucking stupid". People have the right to be secure in their persons from the intrusive eyes of government.
