Hank Johnson (D - GA) thought Guam might tip over into the Pacific if we sent more military troops and equipment. The officer's skill in not losing it in the face of this basic assumption is commendable. Please find me the Republican equivalent.

This is good news.
44 years eh? And you blame CONservatives for the pig cops being protected from legal action, rehpremands. ? When's the last time NYcity, or CONservtives, controlled the New York legislature? An pretend COnservative as Governor?
If we only created statues of people who were upstanding citizens in all ways, there'd be no statues. Humans are imperfect. The issue is when the statue is being created to celebrate this specific fallibility. A fault which some people don't see as a fault at all but worthy of celebrating. That's a problem. And that's the real issue. Trump can say, Who's next, Washington?! And it seems like a worthy question, but it's not really a question. It's an attack. What he (and others) are really saying is, All our heroes have flaws! Stop going after mine! And... We need to go after these "heroes".cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 10:50 am I agree 100% on public buildings they have no right to be displayed. The problem is that some folks feel the same way about Washington, Adams and Jefferson. If people have a legitimate gripe do we tear down the Washington monument? Where do we as a country now draw the line to appease people that are offended?

almost forgot about that... good thing for the world Guam never did tip over. Hey... you never know. 
So some clarification... when does the Washington monument become part of the bullseye?Matnum PI wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:43 amIf we only created statues of people who were upstanding citizens in all ways, there'd be no statues.

Since this is the route we are now traveling down... time to eliminate tenure amongst all teachers as well. Hell it takes an act of Congress to try and get rid of a bad teacher. Why should a bad teacher be treated any different than a bad cop. You can ignore the obvious double standard all you want. The bottom line never changes. UNION POWER...get it to x wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:56 am Watching Minneapolis Police Chief Arradondo's press conference right now. He is an impressive guy who is in a tight spot. He stated he has broken off talks with the union over a new contract. Looking at many opinions on here, it looks like there are a meaningful majority who feel union reform is one of the big issues. I am, and have always been about a meritocracy. Unions to me are a lot of what is wrong with all government services, not just public safety. Federal employees get automatic raises and bonuses not tethered to any performance metric, just years in service.
Citizens and taxpayers deserve responsive, effective and efficient government. I am not against a fair wage and benefit package, but the BS that supervisors go through to remove non-performing or even insubordinate employees is so difficult that many times the employee is transferred, only to become someone else's problem.
Citizens and taxpayers also deserve to not fear their public servants, whether they be the IRS or the police or our elected representatives. We need to make it easier to "take out the trash".
Did he present his AARP card ? What difference does it make what he does with his spare time ? He confronted the cops, got in their face & was clearly confrontational. He wasn't asking for directions to the senior center.Catbird wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 6:11 amAre you ok?old salt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 5:19 am The NYPD cop charged with pushing/assaulting/injuring a woman protester was a Ward Mehville laxer who reportedly played at Kean College before serving in the USMC.

Common thread with the Buffalo push assault. In both cases the police were advancing as a unit, clearing the street or sidewalk, when a protester approached them, entered their personal safety space, blocking them, taking video of the police officer with their cell phones.
Police officers now need to be prepared for encounters with video warrior provocateur protesters who enter their personal safety space, trying to generate an incident captured on video. In both these cases, these 2 provocateurs got the confrontation they sought, but they were not prepared for the consequences of their actions when invading a police officer's personal safety space in a confrontational manner.
You are now referring to a 75 year old man who regularly volunteers his time for catholic charities as a "provocateur". Sad.
+1 The police trying to clear the streets had no idea who he was or what his intentions were. If you don't want to be pushed on your ass... don't get into the cops grill and talk chit to him. Sorry there old timer, you learned a lesson the hard way. I hope he is okay but his own stupid actions were the cause if his injuries.old salt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 12:03 pmDid he present his AARP card ?

Some of these a pretty dumb or ignorant but he's still "down a lap" to Hank Johnson.RedFromMI wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 12:00 pmHere is an article from 2013:get it to x wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:57 amCitation, please.RedFromMI wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:32 amPretty much anything Louis Gohmert says qualifies...get it to x wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 11:30 amHank Johnson (D - GA) thought Guam might tip over into the Pacific if we sent more military troops and equipment.
