What you get when you elect a draft dodger to be Commander-in-Chief. His tootsies didn't seem to bother him marching over there.Quote:

Exactly. He is an idiot for not letting up and should be sent to prison, but there is nothing that says he is racist just as there is no proof the other three non white cops with him are racist too. Just as any time a black cop kills a white guy or even a black guy, it doesn’t mean they are racist. Maybe they make a mistake and get to heated or in some cases they are scared shitless so they shoot and kill a guy, but I don’t think we have a race problem within our law enforcement system. Hell a lot of departments are run by black people. The media and in my opinion, a lot of left leaning people want to keep race and hate alive. People claim to want racial harmony but I don’t see it. Constantly telling a race that people hate you and your life is unfair and you can’t get ahead because of your skin color and the cops are after you and you know that your ancestors were slaves, does nothing but fuel the hate and racial divide. Enough is enough.Quote:

You’re confusing law and law enforcement. The killer will be dealt with by the rule of law.Quote:
