Meh, "underrepresented" is really quite the euphemism for the share of whites in places like Harlem or the Bronx, or for the share of blacks in rural Ohio trailer parks.

And no, German cities are not that segregated. In fact, our cities are less segregated than most American cities. Those Russian resettlers have mostly integrated to the point where you dont even notice them anymore in the streets. Turks and Kurds are more of a mixed bag, with about half of them being well-integrated and the other half intentionally keeping a distance from the rest of society and staying in their own social and geographical enclaves.

And just for the record: I'm living in one of the largest German cities which has a foreigner share of over 27%, and over 40% of the population either being foreigners or having a migration background. I know what diversity looks like in my country/city because I experience it every day as soon as I'm stepping outside.

I'm not sure if your conception of our neighborhoods and cities is accurate because you might for example see something on fox news lol.

Those were all contributing causes of death. There's no physical evidence supporting neck compression or injury as a cause.
This "disabled" and "weakened" man was 6'4" and 223 lbs and worked as a bouncer.
He is hardly the first large black man to have chronic heart conditions that lead to premature death by heart attack. If you want to talk about comorbidities, no shortage.

People who use manual restraint are taught to NEVER use it on people who are prone.

To wit:

C. Emergency use of manual restraint procedures must not:
7. Use prone restraint (that places a person in a face-down position).
8. Apply back or chest pressure while a person is in the prone or supine (face-up) position.

Why don't they? Because it compresses the diaphragm, making it harder and harder for the restrainee to breathe. And comorbidities don't matter for shit in the eyes of the law. If you go up and smother grandpa with a pillow who is in hospice dying of cancer, you have still murdered him.

Desecration of cemeteries is nazis / far right speciality.
So i will consider this violation to be an impersonation until the investigation proves it wrong.

Dude i don't pay for cable. Cable television use is probably worse than drug use on your intellect over time.

All those hyperventilating news shows drive me nuts and is probably why discourse is so bad right now.

My biggest problem with the current president is that he is a huge embarrassment on Twitter... very personal, he rubs me the wrong way and i dislike him. The reason I want him out of office so much is so he can't elect another right wing judge.

All in all second Bush was way more disastrous. Trump at least isn't ideological. I think it is insane that he won your primary, But I can't say I like anyone else on stage either.

I wonder how many will write in Yang? Third Way Yang, not cleanly on the left or right, Thanks for capitalist and socialist to love and hate.

Yeah, but nazis don't spray paint black lives matter on things when they're done.

We do it at hospitals and we are doing it with old ladies on the team. Why can't cops be as tough as nurses?

We have had a boxer recently, a mma fighter, cops, bikers, and we've never killed anyone or even had to sit on them like that. In our dementia unit we have old a veterans who are throwing down who knows what they think is happening they just square up.

And we are able to move them into a Room strapped their arms and feet to a bed and give them shots of medication without breaking the needles.

Sometimes we get the shit beat out of us. Cops seem like they are fragile or something. One of my interns was punched so hard in a therapy group that she landed outside of her shoes.

Why can't we have cops as tough as nurses and social workers?

Maybe send them to the military for a few years to improve their thresholds.
