The bull shit has become so political that resolution will never be achieved, despite what many Americans think and feel. All you pun dents have taken the Black Lives Matter to such a Political Level that reason is no longer available nor wanted. There will be no resolution now, when Politics is involved, nothing matters but Politics. It never ends and the bull will continue. Thank you CNN and all the Bull Shit News and Entertainment industry ( Read China) and News has become entertainment.

As for the (Supreme Court), I have no reason to know who named that Political 3rd Leg as SUPREME. It has become so Political, that the Constitution , might as well be placed in a vault. To be opened only when the Supreme Court/ Politicians, finds it convenient for themselves.

As for the Supreme Court Judge: John Roberts. Correct me if I am mistaken but wasn't he the Final vote that allowed the Un-Affordable Care Act to remain? Now he is the deciding vote that has authorized another Obama plan called D.A.C.A. Gee, isn't that just wonderful. Why not just have the " John Roberts, Supreme Court allow Illegal the Right to Vote?, Heck, They are here, Why not make them Citizens? 14 Democrat Held States have! Care to Vote, Have Welfare, Medical all paid for by we Born, in the Country Citizens and includes the Legals that did their due diligence and became citizens. We pay, and pay, and pay.

I do not wish to sound like a Poor Me. But I am beginning to feel that, the more I do, the less I get. The more I earn, The less I get. Pretty soon, we will be nothing but one big Government!

I have conflicted feelings about the removal of statues, but I do have to agree that the statue of Lincoln depicting a Black man kneeling at his feet doesn't sit well with me.

Tim Kaine isn't helping when he asserts that the US didn't inherit slavery but created it. I hope what he means is that the US instituted slavery - like many other nations before it. But, who knows anymore; as you say the hope of having an honest conversation is quickly vanishing.

I caught part of your radio show this afternoon. I have to say I disagree with your position that the officer in the Brooks shooting should get his job back. I heard on a conservative leaning podcast that the use of force by a police officer in this situation is not legal. Neither of those officers were in danger of losing their life to a tazer. They had the guys car. They knew where he lived. This shooting is not defensable.

Agreed. The use of deadly force is the issue. Shooting a man while he is running away, unarmed is beyond overkill.

Let me get this straight. He created the chaos, Committed a crime. Disobeyed the instructions of the Police officer's, and was shot. And you think because he was running away and being shot was wrong? Have you had Police Training and experience?

Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985), is a civil case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, the officer may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."

A tazer is does not kill.

A tazer does not kill.

Man, do we need an edit function.

I am not trained as a police officer; apparently I have a different perception of 'chaos' than you do.

My brother-in-law was MPI (military police investigations) for three years. He was a Columbia city cop for 22, retired as a Captain. He then signed-on with SLED and worked with the Terrorism Task Force for 4 years. During that time he was hit in the head with a brick by a naked, mentally ill man; he was stabbed in the groin by a group of teens stealing beer, his shoulder was dislocated during a 'routine' arrest and his foot was broken by a crazed woman that attacked him with rebar; he never pulled his weapon. All the perpetrators were taken into custody, and tried.

I hold cops to a high standard. They have authority and a deadly weapon - they can call for back-up. This police officer had the name and address of this man, they had a few options that would have prevented this entire debacle. They could have let him walk home, impounded his vehicle and that would have been the end. They could have let him run, called for back-up and THEN gone after him.

Cops know they are going into a risky profession, they are trained (supposedly) that using deadly force is a last resort/dire circumstance situation.

Now we have a dead man, that gives a lousy politician a chance to pander and use two cops as examples in order to secure his position. I'm betting the cop is wishing he'd let the guy run.

I've seen people going off of social media and stopping conversations due to this very issue. Maybe conversations need to start behind the scenes rather than in public for everyone to see?

You have to accept the fact that when they say, "It's time for an honest conversation" what they really mean is, "I want to denounce people I disagree with"

Expand full comment

This is exactly why I don't participate on Twitter or other social media. People listen to a few words of a conversation, and they proclaim to know exactly what a person is thinking. They want to silence all conservatives, especially Christians; but I'll keep shouting from the rooftops "YOU ALL NEED JESUS !!"

Freddy, I'm not a believer but I would have no problem with someone like Jesus taking the reigns right now.

I believe the challenge has been created by the conversations between Christians that apply the Scriptures to themselves, Christians that do not understand that they need to first apply the scriptures to themselves and everyone else, who by default are not Christians. See 1 Peter 3:15-16 then mix cycle and repeat.

I do not presume to instruct you regarding anything political. What we are witnessing is basically "The Death of Fiction." Fiction is "pretend reality." If we completely disregard and change reality on a whim, then what exactly is fiction?

I alternate between angry and sad.

Very true. Then Hope enters my thinking and just maybe, we have enough of the Quiet ones to help turn this madness around.
