http://bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES For white people.

One week of returning apologists and I'm already fed up.

You can find that in my recent post history actually. But yes, you are asking obedience in the guise of rationality. You love order above justice wher...

That's supposed to be what politics and Parliament is for. It doesn't work to correct racial and socio economic injustice. This "play nice" has to go ...

Yes, let's compromise on justice. Great idea.

Sounds like an excellent way of catering to the lowest common denominator and stick with the status quo.

Which one is it? They can't be not real and real terrorists at the same time. I was attacked by paramilitary unicorns!

Is that city or State? The Netherlands spends 4.5 billion per year for 18 million people. Budget is set to decrease slightly. I do feel the Dutch poli...

What is that?

That's almost twice as much money per capita as the entire police corps in the Netherlands and includes for us the forensic labs, port authority, poli...

TL;DR version: don't post on fucking Facebook.

I'll be the last to say the Bible doesn't contain any truths. :-)

Yeah. You're right, unfortunately.

Let's hope so. And then the healing needs to start; how on earth are you going to get those die-hard Trump supporters back into the fold of a united n...

Agree. I understand your reaction. But the reply is like slamming the door in someone's face, which, when you're hurting, is not going to help. I'm no...

I'm not sure it's that black and white. It's not as if white people haven't had an opportunity to become aware and once they were aware to vote for po...

I don't feel like I have enough information to go on. It's one thing if neighbours don't want to talk to the police, it's another if they won't talk t...

First of, did you talk to your neighbours? How do you know they knew who were in the gang?

Blaggard to make it less obvious?

I'm partial to fantasy and considering what's going on, what about "The Blackguard"? :razz: You can call the character Virgil.

:chin: If al your posts are like that then it's a problem. Quips and the occasional insult aren't an issue in and of themselves.

At least in the android store. Don't know about iPhone. They also made euclidea and pythagoras but those are two dimensional. That last one had really...

For those who like geometry, check out the app xsection. It's starts off easy enough. I solved all of them in the end so if you get stuck, give me a h...

Review a bit of Street's twitter link above as to why some of the ideas don't help. I was surprised body cameras don't make a difference to be honest.

Interesting research via that Twitter link.

So when we drop bombs on other countries, we shrug and it's collateral damage. But protesters beware! I'm sorry for the homeless guy but it's totally ...

I think you're correct in your assessment that these changes will not be overnight or that it's not just about police reform. But you mustn't confuse ...

Amazing disconnect indeed.

Specifically with respect to the murder charges for Derek Chauvin, I think there's more reason to assume he should be charged with 1st degree murder. ...

I was thinking that "black lives matter" really is lowballing it. Black lives are sacrosanct just doesn't have the same ring to it, I suppose.

But you like authority and order. Why are you complaining about rules being enforced on you? Fall in line.

Centre-right.

If you have a far right party and a centre right party, you don't have a leftist or leftish party. It's just that you have a reference frame where any...

Hillary a leftist? What a joke. Go away Chester, and educate yourself.

Why should we care about people acquiescing to injustice or those actively defending it?

I'm against violence if society has a system that allows for the peaceful enforcement of justice and fairness. If it enforces injustice and unfairness...

Good. Most of those who live there didn't give a fuck other than maybe signing a change.org petition and then sleeping soundly again. For years.

Yes, which gave the impression you got it and then you got back discussing looters and violence as a problem.

For whom?

I've read the entire thread including your comments. You're missing the forest for the trees with your looters and insistence on peaceful protest. It'...

Try again and find the right way to finish that sentence.

Order that metastatises injustice is preferable above no order? I think that really depends on who you're asking and who's losing from that injustice....

So despotism, feudalism, oligarchies and communism, are all fine and dandy because they provide order?

Order is better for whom?

Certainly. It's not hard to see with respect to the US. But I understand you're more a "befehl ist befehl" kind of guy.

oooh... Big boy. I'm not praising violence, I'm praising righteous violence. There's a big difference.

Right. So the political praxis and rules made blacks powerless. Violence to demonstrate they actually do have power (massive disruption of society, ca...

I don't live with that fear because I support virtue and justice but I can understand a xenophobic right winger like you gets worried.

What's politics for?

From that great Conservative thinker Von Clausowitz that those on the right seem to forget:
