Next time someone tells you that America isn’t a racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Did the black one offer to pay for that healthcare out of his own pocket?? How great is that?? Remind me again who gets the tab for the black ones free healthcare?? Sure is fun when your spending OPM. FTR what has the white one been convicted of again?? When the white one has been convicted in a court of law then you can gloat away. Unless of course "due process" does not include the white one?? I understand that the visceral hatred towards the white one are the blinders you wear. You just don't have the patience to let justice follow the course it should take.. Silly me, we are talking about the fat white one, why should he even expect "due process" ??? No need for useless court drama. The white fat guy has already been convicted in the eyes of skinny white FLP folks. The elitist FLP snobs on this forum are their own judgemental star chamber. Y'all don't even have the decency to let the legal system do what it is suppose to do. I'm not sure who the bigger danger to this country is. Trump or you self righteous judgemental folks? I still wonder why Bill and the Queen of evil showed up at the dumpsters wedding all smiles and giggles??? Silly me, that is when they loved the dumpsters campaign $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

A family from Guadeloupe told me the exact same thing about black Americans in 1991.

I mean it was like a Hollywood movie. It was just roots instead of Superfly.

Are you joking? You run around convicting people here and judging every single day.

So the FLPs here have been convicted by the angry, uneducated bitter snobs from Rochester. I’m not sure who the bigger danger is to the country, the FlP or your angry, backwards and uninformed yokels who should really shuffle off this mortal coil anyways.

I was thinking of this when I wrote the other one. With the funny outtakes from roots.

That part was similar to something he did in Con Air as Eight Ball. It was funny.

No. I didn’t see it, but I need too. Vince Vaughan is based on a real character from Detroit (I believe). Vince uses some of his lines.

He’s so angry in that skit.

He is terrific, as is the Rock in it. Better than the first. Plus I’ve always liked Una Thurman and there’s her in a thong in it.

ACLU-MN wins $70K, reforms on behalf of woman charged after recording police


https://www.kaaltv.com/news/top-news/ac ... ng-police/


A woman who faced criminal charges after recording Robbinsdale police while they held two Black men at gunpoint will get $70,000 in a lawsuit settlement, according to the ACLU-MN.

The settlement was reached by ACLU-MN on behalf of Amy Koopman.

In 2018, Koopman — who was a church secretary and seminary student at the time – pulled her vehicle over when she saw Robbinsdale police standing by a car containing two Black men, their guns drawn. She stood on the opposite side of the intersection and began Livestreaming on Facebook because she wanted to ensure the men would be safe and that police would be held accountable, according to court documents.

Court documents state that even though she never physically interfered with police or their actions, Robbinsdale police charged her with obstructing legal process, and threatened to detain her if she didn’t stop recording or provide identification.

The charges were dismissed in June of 2019, however a civil lawsuit was filed against the city for violating Koopman’s First and Fourth Amendment rights to record and speak to police, and to not be cited with obstructing justice for exercising her constitutional rights.

The parties reached a settlement of that lawsuit, and the judge dismissed the case Monday evening.

Along with the $70,000 payment, the settlement contains several reforms requiring the Robbinsdale Police Department to:

Adopt policies stating that bystanders have the right to record police conduct, and barring officers from taking adverse actions against bystanders who do so or who verbally object to that conduct.
Maintain a policy that officers who fail to follow department policies or violate the law will be subject to discipline, including firing.
Have officers attend training on the First and Fourth Amendment and state law on obstruction.
“I am proud and humbled to have been able to hold their feet to the fire and push them as far as we did toward reformation and reparation,” said Koopman. “I hope this puts other police departments on notice that there are citizens who are filming them, holding them to account, and who will fight them for as long as it takes to ensure that people’s rights are upheld.”

“The ability to record police, stand witness and hold police misconduct up to public scrutiny is critical to help stop killings by police and over-policing,” said ACLU-MN staff attorney David McKinney. “This settlement sends a clear message to law enforcement across our state that cracking down on people’s constitutional rights to record or speak to police is bad public policy, and will not be tolerated.”






Police criminals caught in the act lose in court once again. But society loses as well since those bigoted criminals are still walking the streets and menacing people. They belong in jail for long stretches of time and the same for anyone who defends them.

Sh*t training. Why the F would ANYONE, let alone a trained officer, unlawfully and FOOLISHLY......open someone's car door without permission, and surprise them like that?

If someone did that to you....how long do you think it would take you to figure out that it was a police officer, and not, say, a carjacker.....when it's nighttime?

Moron. That's a full on training failure. Systemic. Or, he was trained, and broke the SOP.

Bottom of the barrel and poor training leads to this. The kid could have shot him and said he was standing his ground. He didn’t know who opened his door.
