... deny there is institutional racism?

Unfortunately, there is also Cultural racism which is an important issue we need to move on from, hopefully with better education and better understanding as opposed to rioting...

And beyond that, we still have various destructive aspects of 'Tribalism' lingering from the dark days of history...


More of a question is how best to move on. A big part of that is to understand that history is best left to the past. Very good to learn from that. Stupid for history to be repeated.

We should be enjoying a much more rich and better here and now. Why continue to battle old wars into a forever-world-of-destruction?!


Here's one very good long overdue move:

Why Nascar is banning the Confederate flag from its races

Really? How long does it take to move on from a civil war?!


Stay safe!

When Mississippi changes its flag, maybe.

Individual Black criminal's do not represent most Black's, as the sick and evil Right Wing believes.

Individual White racist's do not represent most White's, as the sick and evil Left Wing believes.

Yes, both sick and evil sides believe that the negatives they attribute to most Blacks, White's, Asians and all the other innocent victims of their hate.

Are believed, by them, to be inherent in the groups they attack.

What data do you have to substantiate your claim?

Sorry, guessing you don't watch any news regarding the Left Wing and Democrat politician's claims of institutional racism against one race. And that the few represent the majority. As the evil Right Wing's similar claims against Black people, because of the few.

I totally oppose the sick and bigoted Left Wing hate filled rants, that because some White's are racist's. Most actions of White individual's must be from a bigoted belief.

I totally oppose the similar sick and bigoted Right Wing hate filled rants, that because some Black's commit crimes. Most are criminals.

The hate filled bigoted rants of the Left and Right. Must be consigned to the "Sewer of Bigotry", where they belong.

You guess wrong. Do you deny there is institutional racism?

So in other words, no.

Interesting, when I see generalized stereotypes of the "right" they seem to be how OAN could describe themselves.

Interesting, when I see generalized stereotypes of the "left" they could have been written by the OAN editorial board.

Why am I sure OAN is proof of string theory and alternate universes?

The buck stops with the individual/s in all these cases and has nothing to do with politics, but it does shine a light on the inherent racism that many individuals have over there (no matter how much 1 denies it).

As are corrupt & racist cops. After all, if they were decent professionals, there would be no need for Internal Affairs departments. :-)

They're certainly their own (and everyone else's) worst enemies. :-(

7 more normal union cops

58 more union incidents, unknown number of cops

It certainly seems that corruption and racism at police union levels over there is 1 of the main causes of driving the current problems to their present point and that needs to be cleaned out first and foremost.

100%. Fire the lot. PATCO time.

Not just one union man, but many.

“Eric Garcetti panicked and blamed the men and women of the LAPD for his failed leadership,” Jamie McBride, director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said.

Garcetti: “We must lead,” he said at that meeting. “I got calls from mayors around the country, some of them saying, ‘I’m so excited,’ the other ones saying, ‘What the hell did you do? Now I (have to) shift money.’ That’s exactly the point. It starts someplace, and we say we are going to be who we want to be or we’re going to continue being the killers that we are.”

“We’re worried about him, and we are worried about his future and the safety of our citizens,” McBride said Friday. “Yesterday he smeared every single police officer in Los Angeles and across the nation by calling us killers.”

On Friday morning, LAPPL issued a blistering statement in response to the comment that stated: “Eric has apparently lost his damn mind,” and suggesting that if the city had a charter provision allowing the removal of a mayor for illness or incapacity, “we’d plead for it to be invoked.”

Funny thing about that -Jamie McBride- Garcetti is your BOSS!

Another funny thing, George Floyd is dead by hands of Cops. And the Union said, https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/06/08/lapd-police-budget-cuts-garcetti-nury-martinez-lappl-george-floyd-looting-protests/ wrote:

In a statement from the Command Officers Association on the LAPPL website, the group “emphatically” condemned the Minneapolis PD for Floyd’s death

Guess when you call them what they do, they can't even remember their own words.


National union.

National Association of Police Organizations director Bill Johnson said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has kept “moving left” and has gone “off the deep end” with his calls for law enforcement reforms.

Unions bring misconduct

Unionization emboldens violent officers
A recent University of Chicago working paper found violent misconduct among sheriff’s officers increased about 40 percent after a state supreme court ruling allowed the officers to unionize. The incidents examined in this paper are among the most serious types of violent misconduct, including sexual assault and excessive force.
Additionally, the authors write, unionization “may increase solidarity among officers and thereby strengthen a code of silence that impedes the detection of misconduct.”
Use-of-force complaints more likely among unionized officers
A 2006 report from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics found unionized police agencies garnered 9.9 use-of-force complaints for every 100 officers, compared with 7.3 for non-unionized agencies. During the disciplinary process, about 7 percent of those complaints were sustained, or found to have merit, in unionized agencies. In nonunion agencies, the sustain rate was more than double, at 15 percent.
Unionized police may be more likely to kill civilians, particularly nonwhite ones
Economist Rob Gillezeau recently previewed his research examining the relationship between unionization and police killings of U.S. citizens. While provisional, his initial results suggest the police unionization happening in the 1950s through the 1980s led to “about 60 to 70″ additional civilians killed by police each year. The “overwhelming majority” of those civilians were nonwhite.

Just a typical police union man.

AFL-CIO doesn't want them.

Union out of control.

USW get out of Dodge.

Police Chief says resign.

A White Power union boss

A real King Donald Supporter.

If there is any question about what is wrong with the police, it comes from their Union and their Blue Code. Fire the lot!
