    Partisan hacks = folks that didn’t like the idea of democrats abandoning Americans to die and then launching a full blown cover up at the very highest levels to hide their guilt.
    Count me in.

    True, without a doubt, that can’t even be argued.  The dems wouldn’t even argue it, they openly say this country should be “transformed”...aka destroyed.

    So you would of been ok with the Seattle Police shooting all these rioters that stormed and took over the police station? If so, we may have found some common ground.

    No. There is no evidence of any crime except trespassing which is a misdemeanor. A citizen, not the police, have the defense to prosecution in Texas that they were stopping a burglary (breaking and entering) in progress IF deadly force was reasonably needed. The police absolutely do not have that authority as demonstrated by SCOTUS in Garner. The police can use deadly force to stop a threat of deadly force.
     In Garner SCOTUS said there had to be a violent act or the threat of violence for the police to justify deadly force. Maybe she had something that looked like a weapon in her hand and was screaming “I am going to kill you #%£{@!!!”.
    If that is true, they need to release at least the claim and an explanation. At least from what I have seen, the officer doing the shooting was the only one with a gun drawn. Why with several officers with him trying to stop a small and likely unarmed woman coming through a window, was he the only one to even draw a weapon? 
    According apparently to their prosecutors, it does not even warrant a trial which means it had to be so clear-cut it it was obviously self-defense.
    It should not matter but again, swap the roles and see what the outcome would be. A white cop, surrounded by other officers, none of who feel threatened enough to draw their weapon, shoots an unarmed small black female coming through a window.

    I agree it is a moral issue..... but it’s also a legal issue.
    when a murder commits the crime against a pregnant woman(both die)= double murder. LEGAL issue
    murder is a crime .....manslaughter is a crime.  A life is now gone. LEGAL issue

    I don't look at it that way at all. My opinion is that many people are baffled/exacerbated/pissed that an officer that kills a Black person is held to one standard, but an officer that kills a White person is held to a completely different standard. I don't want to speak for others, but that is my opinion of why this is an issue.

    Exactly. My grandmother was a counselor for Birthright for decades. She counseled young women and men on alternatives to abortion. She saved thousands of lives in doing so. Funny, she never considered throwing away not one of those “unwanted” souls.

    I have no idea, don't have the answer.  I can say with some certainty that many of those mothers will raise the child themselves.  There are untold numbers of pregnant women that change their mind simply by hearing the heartbeat at a pregnancy crisis center.  That's never an option at the planned parenthood abortion mills.
    I know this, killing millions of unborn children is not the answer as so many seem to think it is.
    That's kinda like saying if we solve the problem of starvation in Africa, where are we going to house and feed all those people?

    LumRaiderFan reacted to tvc184 in Defund, or abolish?   
    Defund the police comes from an overthrow tactic used since Marx. If you say something enough times, people will start to believe it. You can call it brainwashing, indoctrination, re-education or whatever.  In some ways it is  almost like the Stockholm Syndrome where hostages start siding with the criminals that take them hostage and threaten their lives. 
    The police are not the problem in any neighborhood but they are portrayed to be such for political gain. Like in the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, MO. It was put out as a story that he was surrendering on his  knees. The facts, witnesses and physical evidence completely refuted that claim. The US Department of Justice and the FBI spent a year and a few million dollars and ended up with the same conclusion that the county DA did in a few days. That was there was no evidence of wrongdoing by the officer.  The police were not the problem there either yet it caused nationwide riots.
    Even with this defund the police mantra we need to ask ourselves, does the Black community feel the same way as they are portrayed? Do the protesters represent the entire Black community?
    Let’s see what the Gallup Poll survey says about that in a poll released in August 2020. 

    This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up According to Gallup 81% of Blacks want as much police presence “or more”. Compare that to 88% of Whites and 83% of Hispanics. That seems like very similar options especially considering the beating that the police receive in the press in the Black community.  Maybe even more telling is that 20% of Blacks and 24% of Hispanics want “more”’ police in they neighborhoods as opposed to 17% of Whites. So the minority communities (who the narrative is that hate the police), actually wants more of them than the White population. I can guarantee from experience, those minority communities in most cases already have a larger police presence and yet they want more. I am glad that they want more but that isn’t the narrative put out by the media who gets clicks and money by controversy and some segments that promote their own political status. From Gallup I believe it shows what I think, that there is very little differences in communities but there is no benefit to saying that in some people’s opinions. In fact it hurts some political opinions to say, we are pretty much all the same.
    If you look at the Gallup survey, you will find what I believe. People have very little differences and want the same things regardless of race or community including a police presence.  The problem comes from people that go to great lengths to try and convince others that they are different and that “they” (elected or unelected political figures) are the answer. The only thing they are the answer to is their own power.
    In my opinion....

    What the hell is wrong with just a good ol’ American flag?  I saw one of the huge ones flapping in the wind today and thought what a beautiful sight.  The freedom provided by that flag is what allows you to fly whatever flag you want to - ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY.  I just do not get this at all and take it as a slap in the face!

    Both are very rare and the latter is almost never, although the pro-abortion crowd will tell you different.
    Now, do you think these conditions would make the pro-abortion crowd happy?
    Absolutely not, their main concern has never been about the health of the mother and certainly isn't about the baby they want to kill.

    I really think every city that wants to defund the police should get a week without them, and see how it goes.  It's ridiculous.  I'm all for weeding out bad police, and punishing police who break the law (not punishing police who make a reasonable decision in the moment that turns out to be a mistake), but the idea that cities are better off with out police is absurd.  You can already see the effects on crime numbers in cities where police support is low.  Officers are not proactive anymore.  Why would you go out and beat the bushes and try to stop crime before it happens when you know that any time you do your job you could be tried and convicted in the media?  Why would you do that when you might be attacked for being there?  It's better to just wait for calls to come in and go after the fact and avoid confrontations.

    Randy Travis, IMO had one of, if not the best country voices ever. I was always a fan of his hits, but when I watched the video below with him and George Jones, it gave me a new respect for Travis. I mean, at his age, singing George songs in front of George had to be nerve racking, but he killed it.
