Good point.I wouldn't be surprised if the recent nationialist/isolationist movement is in part due to an instinctive desire to not look at the dirt in our own backyard. Our lawmakers, our law enforcers, and are courts - tons of dirt. It's mentally reassuring, but maladaptive in response, to find an other to focus on.
We've got a lot of leaves to rake up, as it were....
Your stats rely on the police themselves to report these assaults. But, the police has shown themselves to not be reliable reporters of any incident when they are potentially under any threat of investigation.
Just look up any case where the police are being investigated. Their report and the facts of the incident NEVER jive completely. So much of their account is utter BS that one would think we the populace would no longer assume they're going to actually tell the truth.
Good point.
I think we need to see the Trump era for what it is:
- It is not conservatism, even though it has some of those elements.
- It is not Republicanism (GOP), even though it has some of those elements.
- It *is* authoritarianism, through and through!
And if the Dems were smart, they'd couch it as autocratic authoritarianism, and run against that!
Well they firstly have to run on the middle-class economics message, which may be hard to take-back from Trump. I think they should run directly against him here, attacking his lies and hyperbole. I have no idea why they didn't attack the August jobs report. They never mentioned it.Guess I would have to disagree if the dems run on autocratic authoritarianism to attack Trump it's going to be more of the same for them. Losing races.
The dems better quickly move from resist to something that will help the American worker.
It get's people interacting and using those critical thinking skills doesn't it?

“Trump came in there to the factory last December and blew smoke up our asses. He wasn’t gonna save those jobs. And, if that’s the case, he would have saved us and Rexnord, a company around the corner from us that makes parts.
“We had a mix of Trump supporters and Clinton supporters at the factory, I’d say. The ones that really supported him are quiet right now. Some of them got let go yesterday, too.
“We talked about Trump on the job, after the election. You could always tell who the Trump supporters were because they never participated in the conversation. It was about even, blacks and whites, for Trump. Also, some of them wore the hats. Not anymore, though.
Frankly you've bored the **** out of me so far...
You have one site, few real numbers and those you do have are skewed. Don't ask why, I leave **** out so as to help make people think for themselves. But 'kill rate' is someone's invention.
If you want to look at corruption/abuse look at "in custody" deaths.
Good point.

How many of Trump's opponents have been assassinated? :roll: It's remarkable to see the people who are degenerating into partisan hackery.- It *is* authoritarianism, through and through!

But they should definitely include autocratic authoritarianism as one of their platform points. In earlier days they espoused freedom and liberty, and they need to get back to that.
Oh and why do you think there is an extreme dislike for police officers? Is half the damn country a bunch of criminals tired of police constantly foiling their evil plans? No, use your head. This many people don't yell fire, when there isn't a fire. And it's not just one department in one state. We are seeing it across the board, it's systemic. Not a broadbrush.

I did not know this until today, was going through twitter when I saw this:

An officer taking the money out of a man's wallet, then citing him. That ain't right. It just isn't. Anyway I was reading through the responses and someone made the claim that the cops steal more than burglars. So I looked it up and found that they do indeed take more than burglars. They can do so just on a suspicion that a crime was committed, whether an arrest is made, a conviction happens, or even charges filed. They get to keep whatever they seize for their own use. Which has led many police departments to resort to ganglike behavior to line their own pockets. Already they kill 30x more people than private citizens do, now they are stealing more than burglars. At what point do we say enough is enough and reign in law enforcement?
