I hate all politicians equally, on both sides, both Democrats and Republicans. I just happen to hate a few far right policies more than I hate any specific politician. But I still hate some specific Democrat policies as well, such as the student loan takeover orchestrated by Obama. But I hate it for very specific economic/social reasons, not because of the letter behind the dude's name who rammed it through.

If you actually read my posts on NPR, instead of replaying some version of what you *think* my stances are inside your head... You'd know that. I have been quite vocal about it. There's been plenty of times people on the liberal side had to explicitly tell you guys you were barking up the wrong tree with that mindset with me.

First paragraph was good and shows we are closer together on politics than you think.

The second paragraph was your usual arrogant, snide BS that turns people off.

Yeah? Don't care. If people didn't lump me in with everyone else who doesn't adhere lockstep to all of their viewpoints, I'd prolly be more polite.

I have read some version of your first sentence at least 20 times on NPR. Doesn't stop me from getting lumped right in with those who wanna sniff Biden's jockstrap the next 20 times. That's a "you" problem.. Not a "me' problem.
 
For those of you that have once again spilled NPR into a non-NPR thread:

Whatever, dude. The simple truth of it is, that the dude's race gets him a lot of traction in this story. Nobody is making a young black guy the centerpiece of a local news piece, in the very same exact conditions. You like to use that word "woke", when I am simply bringing your attention to the fact that races get treated differently in America both in the moment when it comes to police, and during the aftermath of improper police behavior. I know you are stuck in this "Rah Rah Rah!!!!!! America is the bestest!!!!" mode of thinking, that doesn't allow you to think too deeply about stuff like this. The truth is.. It really isn't, when talking about certain issues.

This dude might actually get PAID. Zero chance a young black man gets paid in this exact same situation.

Just curious.. Do you see the Pennsylvania "kids for cash" scandal (where mostly ethnic kids were victimized by two judges) as a symptom of "woke" targeting? Or do you think there might be something wrong with the American justice system, where the most vulnerable members of our society are targeted to send them off to for-profit prisons, simply because they are less able to defend themselves adequately?

I don't know where this old white guy is getting the money to take this to federal court.... He either has it himself.. Or some entity is paying the bills. Do you think in either case, that would be a good investment if the victim was young and black? You think that jury is gonna pay them as much as this old white guy is likely to get? Or pay them AT ALL?

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm..."....

Assuming one is prone to thinking, and looking at deeper, often unpleasant aspects of our society, that is.... Definitely not gonna assume that, in your case.

Take your woke BS to NPR. You are clueless.

So IMHO there are two kind of Cops, be they Trooper, Deputy, Constable, or Officer.

Type #1 Goes into Profession to HELP PEOPLE.

Type #2 Goes into Profession for POWER, BADGE, N GUN.
