    I won't name names but a family member works for a major airline. The industry took a MAJOR hit after 9/11 and people were losing their jobs left and right. Those left behind after major layoffs were doing their jobs and picking up the slack. We personally knew three people that literally dropped dead from heart attacks.

    One day, they received a company newsletter in which there was an article basically about learning to live with less money and one of the suggestions was to "dumpster dive"! No joke. Of course, employees were furious to be told to go through people's trash.

    With a
    Especially when the other person is experienced in armed robbery and overtaking a target.

    Your comment is a typical excuse. Why do I have to adapt to idiotic rules? Why should I say "black" or "African American" instead of the classic "Negro"? If you call a Negro an African American, will he stop being a Negro?
    Tolerant idiocy destroys the brain. A person who seeks out new words for fear of being intolerant is a hypocrite.
    Some tolerant oligophrenics go to the point of complete madness in their tolerant dementia - for example, in the new edition of the famous novel by the great American writer Mark Twain "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer ...." the word "negro" was removed.
    And I don't care if they think I'm racist or whatever. At least I'm not a hypocrite. And if the offender is Negro, I say - a Negro criminal. If the criminal is Latinos, I say - the criminal is Latinos .... and so on.
    But you can continue to kneel in front of the blacks and kiss their shoes. But you can proudly consider yourself tolerant. This is your choice. Not mine.

    Even if they withdrew the article, it doesn't matter. The fact remains. Crime and robbery will continue to grow, and the police will poke around a finger in their noses along with the politicians-neutered .

    I think this is the first stage. And when the population, out of fear for their lives, wishes for a strong hand and order, the second stage will come - the fascists coming to power. Of course, no one will call themselves fascists, on the contrary - at all corners they will shout about democracy and freedom .... But in fact, the country will be ruled by the fascists.

    Are monuments being destroyed in the same city too? Kiss blacks feet in the same city? Are the crazy BLM supporters in the same city too?
    I wrote above - this is just a pitiful beginning.

    AND..
    Why has the population not demanded the resignation and replacement of the infantile boneheads that implemented the policies which resulted in the farce in question against the people of Minneapolis?

    That would only be the case if you were taking the childish notion that 'Defund the Police' means abolish them with no replacement. I would bet that US Police have increased in the past 40 years. Even worse in recent years it has become highly militarised. At the beginning of the 80's there were less than 300,000 Americans in American Jails. Now there are about 2.4 million - the highest per capita in the world. This corresponded with the 'war on drugs' which found black people way over the proportion to their usage in jail and a fair amount of planting of these drugs so that they could get them up to the number demanded each month by the Private Prisons they now run where those sent to them on cruelly high sentences must work as slaves - again massively overpopulated by black. The US could be viewed as a Police State.

    Funnily enough the first police in the US were the slave catchers and they used as their emblem that taken on by Sherifs so it would be true that the Police force in the US as in other countries was not put in to serve the people which imo in a democracy it ought to.

    In a democracy the police ought to be there to serve the people not the Government. This I think you will find is the changes which people want. No one wants murderers and lawlessness but they also do not want to find people in jail seemingly based on the colour of their skin and they do not want people killed when they do not need to be killed and they do not want people arrested or kept in jail because the Jailers want to keep them there to work on a job which will make them a lot of money and that is basically the situation you have in the US at the moment. No country sees a rise in criminals from below 300,000 to 2.4 millioin in 40 years unless something strange has happened. Something else has happened and people are making bad money from people being in jail. Then when they are let out the only choice they have if they do not want to die is to move back in. They cannot get a job and the State refuses them Food Stamps. They cannot get a home and if family living in social housing try to help them then they will all be evicted and homeless. Some people describe the US current prison service as the new slavery.

    If the US were a Democracy then their police would serve the people. The police would not kill people unless they absolutely had to. So Defund the police is about making changes which will allow the police to be respected and to work for the community not against it as well as doing other things like either training Police who are going to arrive at the home of someone suffering mental problems or put these jobs over to someone else with experience as the police tend to end up killing them. Given the massive increase in people being put into jail in the last 40 years the intent is also to put some of the money which is currently used to finance a militarised police against civilians into other areas. The big rise in numbers in prison for instance came along with the change from 'war on poverty' to 'war on drugs' also corresponding with a decrease in jobs availiable - unless one get a place in Prison. People would like to spend some of the money which is currently wasted on the Militarised police to work to create better outcomes for people who currently find themselves in jail - work for instance, mental health help etc. That's the sort of thing 'defund the police' is really about. I heard someone say it was a call for talks.

    With 330 million people from every country, race, and religion on the face of the earth, we do have our share of oddities. But in general, our government and people are good. And our constitution is sound. That which you point out is/are confined to heavily left wing cities, which over time, because of our representative elections, have the capacity to change, to improve or to degrade according to the will of the people who live in that district. Americans in general also retain the capacity to learn new information, be shaken from the fog of deceit and get up to speed so to speak. Count out America to your own disappointment. What is so great about your country?

    "Defund the police" is a slogan that supports divesting funds from police departments and reallocating them to non-policing forms of public safety and community support, such as social services, youth services, housing, education, healthcare and other community resources. Activists who use the phrase may do so with varying intentions; some seek modest reductions, while others argue for full defunding as a step toward the abolition of contemporary police services. Activists that support the defunding of police departments often argue that investing in community programs could provide a better crime deterrent for communities; funds will go directly toward addressing social issues, like poverty, homelessness, and mental disorders.[1][2] Police abolitionists call for replacing existing police forces with other systems of public safety, like housing, employment, community health, education, and other programs.[3][4][5]

    Given the increase in population since 1980, this is a no-brainer
    Thank you, Obama administration

    Why isn't this simply a result of blacks, per capita, committing more crimes that whites?
    It could, but only by those who are ignorant, willful or otherwise, of the definition of the term.
    Given the actual history of police forces in the US, this is unlikely at best.
    In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed by New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore in 1857

    So you agree: they should not stand by as rioters burn, loot and kill..
    Right?

    Why not?? There are more than enough guns for every American to have one, and in this day and age when it appears law enforcement will be less able to deal with violent criminals, it would be STUPID not to buy a gun and get familiar with it. Why does that seem ridiculous to you? Just about everyone I know has at least one gun. I really can't think of anyone who doesn't. I find the thought of people not owning one a little strange.

    Using a gun is way easier than driving a car. Have you ever tried using one?

    ok honky.

    You use these terms because you know they invoke reaction. You know, I know, everybody knows it. But you do it anyway. You do it because your trying to make a point, that is really not relevant other than show casing you racism

    You might not be black, but you are ignorant.

    ****** was also an acceptable term years past, but you don't use that, because you are walking a fine line of being an ignorant racist fool.

    Try to validate and defend your terminology all you want. Nobody is buying it. Your a racist and your motivations are noted.

    I'm a white dude, and conservative, and you're just a fool.

    You are, there's no doubt.

    Latino has never in history been used to demean another race like negro or ****** has. You know what has been used? "Your a piece of ****". Thats been used in the past across racial lines, and now I am seeing why.

    My two girls are black. Do I kneel before them? No. But ill call out an imbred, racist, piece of **** every time i see them. Hypothetically of course, in order to stay compliant with forum rules.

    I think your assessment is faulty. Do you know ANYTHING about German history?

    Anti-Semitism is a very large part of it and it goes back a long way. It's in other countries too, but generally more in Germany than in other nations

    I agree with you 1,000%. Blacks (oh, am I allowed to say that?!) can and do refer to another with the "N-word" and no one bats an eyelash. So ..... it is absolutely, abundantly clear that the legal use of vocabulary is fundamentally a racist enterprise. "Blacks can but whites can't". I should be fined or go to jail for using the same word as a black person who suffers no negative consequence what-so-ever? Jesus wept!

    The idiocy continues. Looky here: :arrow: I have seen a whole lot of American, forensic police TV programmes. You know what I mean - some guy in the laboratory labouring over a skull to determine the victim's identity - by forensic, anthropological methods, of course. And his findings? Yep! As God is my witness the fool says, "By an intensive inspection of the skull I was able to determine that the victim was African-American". :eyepopping: Give me an F-ing break!

    As the philosopher and enlightener Charles Louis Montesquieu said in his work "The Spirit of the Laws" - "Every nation deserves its fate."
    The inhabitants themselves chose this power.
