"You're starting from the point that "the police are racist". The numbers don't bear that out(yes, there are racist cops)"

"Yes, there are racist cops"
Is just another way of saying
The police are racist.
I don't know why you can't see it that way.

Do you really think an organization where racists operate freely can't rightfully be described as racist?

but according to a left leaning media you'd think the police in majority were out hunting black people.

You just made that up. That isn't depicted in any mass media you've seen either. Link up if you want to make me look like a dum dum!

But let's look at what the numbers bear out.
Here are some numbers we all saw.

One cop pulled George Floyd from the car and choked him out, while three other cops stood around doing nothing.

What those numbers bear out is "police in the majority" will let the racist cop commit murder.

Maybe that's not racism. You're so intent on claiming it's not racism that you don't seem to be bothered by the fact that even if it isn't racist, it's quite obviously murder, which one might think ought to bother you more.

But you spend most of the conversation denying cops are racist, like denying racism is a bigger concern for you than the fact that the cops are murdering people in the streets.

And if you can't agree that we both saw that, then you need to get your eyes checked.

White people like Pretti, even. You probably don't think that was police fascism, just like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner and George Floyd and Elijah McClaim was police racism.

Any of this getting through to you?

Racism is bigger than racist cops. It's bigger than the other three cops that let Chauvin murder Floyd. It's bigger than any police department. It's at least as big as the history of this nation.

But you seem to believe "the police aren't racist." All those racist police, and yes there are racist police, but somehow they don't add up to anything bigger.

That's like saying there's just a few isolated incidents of priests raping boys, there's nothing bigger connecting these unfortunate isolated incidents. Yet the media unfairly portrays most priests as predators.

It's not just that it's wrong.

It's that it's a lie, told by liars.

"Iran is ranked as the 5th most resource-rich country globally, with an estimated $27.3 trillion in total natural resources, primarily driven by its massive oil and gas reserves.

It holds the world's 2nd largest natural gas reserves and 4th largest crude oil reserves. Iran also possesses significant mineral wealth, including large deposits of coal, copper, iron ore, and zinc."

IF Iran would just open their natural resources to US corporations like Iraq did, and other countries have... we could stop killing their leaders and innocent population, who have about as much control over what the Ayatollah did as we have had over Trump lately.

Just give our Corporations what they want, and the American Military they now control will let Iran alone. Somewhat.

Trump Hit by Humiliating Result in Damning Fox News Poll
www.thedailybeast.com

... The latest Fox News poll, conducted between April 17-20 among 1,001 registered voters, shows that for the first time since 2010, Americans say Democrats -- not Republicans -- would do a better job handling the economy, 52 percent to 48 percent, marking a major shift on one of Trump's core political strengths. ...

Beyond policy, the data highlights deeper concerns about Trump's leadership. More than 6 in 10 Americans say he does not care about people like them. Just 37 percent believe he does -- a drop from 44 percent in 2024.

Meanwhile, 55 percent say Trump lacks the mental soundness to serve, up 7 points since late 2024 and nearing a previous high of 56 percent in 2023.

Perceptions of competence are also negative. A 56 percent majority says the Trump administration has not been competent in managing the federal government, while only 43 percent view it as competent overall. ...



Here's a "frickin intellectual genius," Marine.

One day I'm going to raise either a Manx, Russian Blue, or Bengal kitten with a mommy like this.
