Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

[HoughMade]

So a "speedy" trial timed for an acquittal just before November 3rd. That will be quite the October Surprise.

It's cute that you think a trial could take place by November.

Well the crowds wanted him tried and convicted last weekend.

The free reed article i posted was on freds site and maybe even on American Thinker.....but as with most things, gets buried or moved.

Easiest place found in recent search was where i snagged it. Dunno diddly about that site and dont care.

As for the numbers i posted, its pretty much common knowledge and available.

Telling me they are not real without a link......doesnt make it so.

Look it up.

I know several folks that work in the public school system that agree with it too.

Edit: the black male drop out rate nationally is 40%.
I'm not gonna look up the reading level scores of those that get shuffled through the system.
Am content to go w Fred Reed article that Cali had 70% and that some yrs ago, and proly a safe bet things have not improved elsewhere.

Ever heard of "credit recovery" in the schools?
Program on computer, mult choice, you just loop it till you pass. Seriously.
If they read it they might get through it faster. But they don't have to.
That plus grade fixing, it's beyond pathetic.

And they wonder why kids are graduating yet not being functional (lacking basic reading and math skills....or work ethic).

The White House is falsely claiming that the anti-ramming security barriers outside the Chabad Jewish community centre in Sherman Oaks are actually weapons placed by "Antifa and professional anarchists".

I detest all liberals.
Religion, orientation, race, gender, class.....
Doesnt matter.

Been around and seen the damage done by making excuses.

No wounded conscience to salve here.
No guilt either.

Expect people to behave

Maybe too old school for such a progressive site.

I pretty much think most people have an agenda and are dishonest.

Also think todays media is a clusterfork.
Knee jerk tabloid BS.

Most of it cannot be trusted.

The looters and rioters are not protesters.
Already have protesters being killed ( some young gal and a retired cop plus a bbq store owner ).

And cops didnt kill em.

There are too many people who want anarchy or just to raise hell. They need gone.

Dunno how to do that perfectly. There is risk.
But i also know damn well a lot of people that supposedly are for the protest are cool w the BS too.

This nonsense just solidifies my view that way too many people suck. From the troublemakers to the apologists and the GD politicians.

World has lost its friggin mind.

Watching Ellison's press conference now.

What's up with the sign language person? What is she mouthing? It's not words... it's like she has a really bad facial tic. I would think that she'd be mouthing the words in English to go along with her signing.

She has been on for ****ing days now, I can't take her, I turn the channel. I had a great Aunt that was was deaf, she could say everything needed with one hand and without the annoying body english.

So, about that viral video purporting to show LEOs profiling and arresting a black man during the recent riots, not realizing he was an FBI agent, is a fake. The video was recorded a year ago: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fbi-agent-arrested-protests/

For some reason Snopes does not label it as false, but rather miscaptioned

 

[OakRiver]

Nor does it support mine. I read the whole thing and overall was stunned by the ignorance.

You're a braver man than I. After seeing the title of the piece I was worried that if I clicked on it I might end up on a watchlist.

I just don't get it. She can obviously hear, so what the heck is she mouthing? Looks like complete nonsense. There are a lot of deaf people where I work and even when they're communicating with one another, they're usually mouthing the English words to go with the signs, and for sure when they're communicating with the hearing people.

 

[Hookeye]

I thought the facial expressions to show inflection of the speaker's words.

It almost looks like Klingon.

Drew Brees getting absolutely torched on twitter, by his own teammates even, for saying that he didn’t agree with Kaepernick kneeling.

Why is Drew Brees getting torched? I thought the other side wanted to have a dialogue. So much for listening to someone with an opposing view.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

No. They don't correspond to anything the speaker is saying. They're totally random.

Maybe Mandela's interpreter set the standard?

Indeed.

A relevant comparison: the timeline of the trial for Mohamed Noor (note: conviction handed down 30 April 2019, not included on this timeline):

I am not seeing a lot of progressive thought that we cant openly discuss.

 

[jamil]

I'm just wondering which progressive site it's too old school for.

 

[foszoe]

Yeah....if someone were to spout those ideas in my presence, my response would be...more verbose.

Glad I didn't read it. Don't usually see you react in such a way.
