It was banned in several areas, specifically because of Breonna Taylor. I think there’s a bill in Congress that’s banning it federally as well.
The whole situation was screwed up, considering the person they were even after was already in custody.
At the absolute most generous interpretation of the scenario, it was a mindboggling level of incompetence that should have seen heads roll. And the only reason we see anything happen is because of stuff like BLM.
It happened in March. It took until June for the Police Chief to be fired, and that was only after the shooting of David McAtee and “coincidentally” had all the bodycams malfunction at the same time.
But damn, isn’t it a shame how bad police bodycams are? They really should get a better manufacturer for those.
You responded to someone that they were pretending that all of our problems are of our own doing. They are not, but neither are they all the doing of whites - yet that’s precisely the approach taken in what now passes for our “national discourse” on race.
If it’s any consolation, and it shouldn’t be, it’s that Activision-Blizzard’s contribution is so miniscule compared to their wealth AND tax deductible to boot that they might as well have done nothing at all.
Capitalism and class struggle damns us all, no matter our skin color or heritage. Except the rich, who continue to prosper.
They should be banned, or at least near-impossible to get. But she wasn’t killed because she was black, she was killed because she was caught in the gunfire.
not exactly. crony capitalism is the problem. we had laws against that and against monopolies, for quite awhile, but the more socialist and globalist we get, the more crony the capitalists get, cause, at the end of the day, that’s how globalism works - a select class of the very rich and every body else is poor with no hope of rising above. in their twisted view, no one will be jealous of their neighbor then cause no one will have anything to be jealous of.
in true capitalism, everyone has the same opportunities with programs to help those who need the extra help. many of those have been abandoned in the push for globalism. and the more globalist it gets, the worse it gets.
oh you havent seen atrocities till you’ve seen communism in action. millions of dead people. some buried alive, after being nearly starved to death first.
I enjoyed how pirate’s did it, They used all the systems as tools and paired the situation with the correct system.
Democracy when picking what to do. Communisim when dividing the loot. Dictatorship in times of battle. They where not at all nice people and they did awful things. But they did know not to put all the eggs in one basket when picking a system.
We seem to be trying for all or nothing for simplicity sake and that’s just hurting everything in the long run.
Easy to make fun of the big dog from the outside; because you know the big dog won’t do anything.
Easy to talk about your own country, until you go to other countries for more than a “vacation” and actually try living there for a few years.
Too many self-hating Americans that don’t realize how good we have it here overall. Minus the few thorns that stick out every now and then. How easy it is to forget that everybody and everywhere, has its downsides. Yet, those downsides do not make up the majority, half, or even a quarter of the US.
They apparently hit the right house. They just lied to the judge in order to obtain the warrant. They claimed her house was being used as a drug drop through USPS. The problem there is that they didn’t ask the USPS at all to verify if anything suspicious was being sent to her address. Which they would have known, because the USPS had already been asked by a different agency and concluded that nothing suspicious was being sent to her address.
So far they’ve fired one person involved in the shooting, but there should be a lot of heads rolling over what happened.
It’s curious to see Australian-server players commenting on American racial issues, isn’t Australia like 91% white?
I’ve always found it odd to see foreign country players commenting on local American issues (such and such American police incident, protests in American cities, etc).
I mean America is like that family that screams at each other so loud that everyone else in the neighborhood can hear what’s going on. So it’s a little difficult to not have an opinion lol
