This does not say, "But don't because you can't?" (as said by a post-er). This says, Empathy is not a multiple choice questionnaire.Tech, I have empathy for more than one person, more than one group of people. And I can empathize with this group for totally different reasons than that group. One of these groups is black Americans. They badly deserve our empathy. For me, politics has nothing to do with this.
Dialog restored- have state and city attorneys on the same page as the LEOs. No surprises when all parties get to the courthouse.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 12:07 pm+1.

It's why they commit the crimes- they think they won't be caught or charged. Its just not that serious.
For example- It's illegal to spit on the sidewalk in some places. Who is enforcing that law? Haul away a couple loogi shooters and people will think twice before they hock one on the curb.
The NCAA each year publishes rules and "areas of emphasis" for lacrosse officials.
Same thing can be done in precincts around the nation that experience a high percentage of these discriminatory crimes or any other crimes, for that matter.

The former Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in 2014 won’t face charges following a re-examination of the case evidence, the St. Louis County prosecutor said Thursday.
A grand jury in November 2014 declined to indict Darren Wilson, a white officer, for shooting Mr. Brown, an unarmed Black man, in August of that year.
Mr. Wilson, according to a Justice Department report, confronted Mr. Brown, who was 18 years old, for allegedly stealing a box of cigarillos from a local liquor store, and Mr. Brown walked toward the officer, who had ordered him to stop.
The shooting sparked protests and riots in Ferguson and around the nation, leading to a national discussion about racism and police violence, and helping to galvanize the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Justice Department investigation that led to the report found no grounds to indict Mr. Wilson. The investigation detailed racial bias in the way Ferguson police and courts treated Black people, leading to changes in the St. Louis suburb.
A grand jury in 2014 declined to indict Darren Wilson after he shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed Black man.
The case got renewed attention in 2018, when Wesley Bell, a Ferguson City Council member, defeated a seven-term incumbent in the Democratic primary and became the first Black prosecuting attorney in St. Louis County.
In a press conference Thursday, Mr. Bell said that making the decision to not charge Mr. Wilson was “one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do as an elected official.”
Mr. Bell said that after a review of the evidence, his office wouldn’t be able to prove that Mr. Wilson committed murder or manslaughter under the state’s definitions of those crimes. But he said he didn’t intend for the decision to exonerate Mr. Wilson.
“The question of whether we can prove a case at trial is different than clearing him of any and all wrongdoing,” Mr. Bell said. “The only question is whether we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred. The answer to that question is no, and I would violate my ethical duties if I nonetheless brought charges.”

Is observation racist?
ie, What percent of the NBA is made up of black players? Is it then racist to comment that blacks are good basketball players based on that observation?
Would anyone argue that in general blacks are inclined to be better dancers than whites? In their culture, music, dancing, and singing plays a bigger role than the average white family, hence, better dancers. Why is that comment racist rather than about observation.
