Responding to your "antifa holding me at gunpoint" example doesn't make me a terrified conservative. Do you always use this kind of intellectual dishonesty?

Since we're making blanket statements about police, I'm sure you mean the black/other minority officers as well, right? Or is this more intellectual dishonesty?

Richie would later tell me that he saw what prompted the first shooting. A verbal fight escalated as the victim tried grabbing the alleged shooter’s rifle – twice. The second time, Richie told me, the victim came very close to getting his hand on the man’s gun, trying to grab it away from him. He may have actually made contact, but it’s unclear amid the mayhem. That’s when the shooter fired.

The most fundamental reason I support Biden is because Trump has, with absolutely no exaggeration, been the most corrupt president of our, our parents, and probably our grandparents lifetimes. His interference with the justice department alone is a level of corruption that dwarfs Nixon. Additionally, he is fundamentally incompetent in the position and as a result has cost us our position in the world and has allowed dangerous enemies like China to become policy makers in our place. We will likely never be able to make good deals with other countries again because Trump has shown how dangerously unbalanced our system can be if one bad president gets into office.

I could really go on for quite a while, but when the choice is one "meh" candidate and one unacceptably terrible candidate, that's pretty obvious.

In the primary I would have voted for Bernie, but it was after Super Tuesday where Biden had basically wiped him out.


If an autistic kid is having a fit, why would you have an armed police officer with only basic first aid training respond? You wouldn't. But that's the system we have, and we've literally had cases where cops were called to assist with a mentally handicapped person and ended up shooting them. Defunding the police is an absolute necessity and is actually supported by the police as long as you call it by a different name. People hear "defund the police" and they just hear take away money, but it actually means "shift funding from police to other services to take unnecessary burden from the police"

"Defund the Police" is a terrible message. Police need to be reformed and there should be units that deal with mentally ill people. I know the people who back "Defund the Police" will say that's their goal but the messaging loses that point.

Yes, I do mean them as well.

I thought the leftists claimed black people can't be racist? How can a black cop be racist?

To paraphrase Biden:
"If you'e a pig, you ain't black"
