Easy man to cheer for, doing the right thing, led an exemplary life. There should be a national outpouring of emotion for him, instead all you have are conservatives highlighting his life while national media and Fanlax libs are silent (but may eventually be forced to cover). His mistake: the narrative doesn't work for the left, so they have to avoid mentioning his name.
More troll bull shirt from Pete.

FYI, Pete, my immediate family is chock full of blue collar Irish Catholic cops straight from central casting. I'm hardly the pinko commie that you gaslight everyone into that happens to think Trump sucks as a president and human being.

Dorn is a brave man who ran towards the danger. Obviously a good cop. Almost all are. But the 5% or so that are bad are pretty awful in my personal experience.

The person avoiding a narrative is you.

Since you still seem to be saying that Floyd's death was unrelated to the knee on his neck. And you're still taking pains to point out Floyd's rap sheet. Which is completely irrelevant to whether a cop should be able (under color of the badge) to kill a man in cold blood for no reason in broad daylight.

I'm surprised you can get such good wifi under the bridge where you live.

Great news. So what's he doing about it?
Give it some time. This has been tee'd up perfectly for this administration to impact significant change. IMO, will be the election deal breaker. I can see in the very near future a Public Address or SotU that addresses the needed change. This is certainly in Trumps wheel house....which is why I believe it will be his most significant piece of work.
Well, obviously you're not talking about legislation. And you aren't talking about the DoJ, because Trump can't direct them to do anything.

So what are you talking about?

And tech---I'm not in a hurry. Trump is. The election is in 6 months.
serious question, which is more likely?

a) Trump and McConnell craft sweeping economic, voting, policing legislation attractive to black Americans, addressing centuries of injustice.
b) Trump and Barr reverse the Trump/Sessions reversal of Obama-era consent decrees with cities to reform their policing.
c) some form of martial law as we go into election season.

Gee, AFAN, why would she do that? BLM only pops it head out when a WHITE (mostly) uniformed thug kills a black. No protests for a long laundry list of other cops killing whites......cops DO mostly smell the world up. Evil...prevail....do nothing attitude. Why do you attempt to complicate a simple issue ? She's pointing out the LACK of protests when any of these victims got killed . Unsolved Homicide victims in DC
What you don't seem to understand is: let's say that these protesters did EXACTLY what this woman is asking, and protested Chicago's violence problem. Letter perfect according to this woman. So they organize, get it together, and march. Let's call this Protest A. Now according to you and this woman, "they're doing it right".

So in the middle of the march a different woman starts scream at them for totally ignoring the murder of a man up in Minneapolis. And like the previous woman, tells them that "this march is hypocritical because they're not marching because a man was murdered in Minneapolis, and what the F, you guys are protesting wrong". She screams at them for not having a Protest B, which protests the Minneapolis murder.

So now you get to tell me: which of these Protests is the "right way" to protest: Protest A, or Protest B?

Take you time, and get back to me. Until then, this woman needs to take some courses in logic before she yells at protest A for "doing it wrong".

:lol: No she doesn't. If she did, she be marching with them, and organizing them to direct their attention to things that she cares about.

She'd get off her *ss and help. What's she doing instead? Mocking a protest that has gotten millions of Americans to get off their butts and do something about the problem. Meanwhile, she has done nothing. The obvious question to that woman is: what are YOU doing to fix these problems?

Trump admin has just gone through a sweeping 3 month weekly conference call with each states Governors w/CV19. I am suggesting, and even speculating that this admin is actively crafting some 'doable' motion that will hit the street immediately with recognizable action.

Interesting perspective from Civil rights activist Robert Woodson

Wondering how poor blacks can continue to do so poorly in systems and programs administered by blacks and liberal progressives since the 60's

Woodson noted that government anti-poverty programs have made poor people a "commodity" for "a professional class of providers." He said that most of the trillions of dollars spent on poverty in America don't go to the poor, but to those who serve poor people -- and who "need poor people for their own existence."

"We have some perverse incentives for maintaining poverty in America. It is unfortunate, but two out of ten whites with college educations work for government; six out of ten blacks. It is an unfortunate situation where a lot of professionally trained blacks are in the position of being caretakers of the their low-income counterparts."

Woodson said there's currently no incentive to reduce poverty:

"The problem is, the majority of the money that is employed to address poverty is invested in people that are outside of that zip code -- professional service providers. They ask not which problems are solvable, but they ask what problems are fundable.

"They are answerable, not to their customers, the poor -- they answer to those who provide the money. So the conflict here is really over who controls the means of providing monies to the poor.

"I've seen endless examples of poor people that come together and design effective solutions to drug addictions, to violence and crime, only to have these inoovations ignored."

One would like to think that'd be the response, but if I had to put money down, it'd be on #3.
Hope that's not right.

Gotta remember that Trump's instinct has been, and will continue to be as we go into election final stretch, to stoke division.

Indeed, look at how he actually played the virus response.

He's likely to double and triple down on the 'law and order' message and, at this moment, that's incendiary. I don't think that will be less so down the stretch.

Imagine actual Trump rallies and the protests that will emerge in response.

I disagree completely and believe you are projecting based on your hatred of the man. On the contrary he has a 'united' message by making it known in no uncertain terms the black employment number is down and prison reform.

As you often say, he can walk and chew gum. So he may very well double down, but no need to conflate the two should he do the right thing and provide direction and action for the positive. This is a super easy win for him, and that is how his ego will see it....but will ultimately be a great American win. I certainly hope so for the all of us.

I'm not saying that he couldn't do the right thing.
Just as I thought it was at least possible that he could behave "Presidentially" when he was first elected.
But we've seen him in the job. A long time.

Nor would I disagree that there are potential positive messages he could reinforce...and indeed, I think he'll 'talk' about those as his political play. But those messages are more about reassuring some whites who like to think they are on the 'right' side of racism than they are sincere efforts to heal racial division and pain.

And he will try to play those cards.

However, I think ultimately his instincts are to divide, to send dog whistles. "law and order", "dominate"... And the heightened awareness of the issues just won't allow for being glossed over, and dog whistles are being heard loud and clear. So gloss will be rejected.

I also don't think he is temperamentally capable of communicating empathy for those actually most in anguish. That requires being able to admit vulnerability and pain oneself, and he's loathe to go there.

But sure, he could surprise us all and he could be embraced by the black community in response...

You keep responding to me while claiming to have muted me...you sure you don't like me?! :lol:

I agree that there's a minority percentage of police who are not such 'model citizens'...through Innocence Project speeches/meetings, I've seen videos of BOP guards in the federal prison system that would make you think that federal lockups are not much different than Shawshank Redemption, brutally inhumane guards without a cent of decency.

1. Riddle me this: why is it that the Left rails on about 'the 5% of cops' who are corrupt/bad/etc..., but they refuse to consider that Comey/Strzok/Mccabe/Page are 'bad'?

2. Why is David Dorn's death not a national issue? Why don't liberals march in solidarity with his memory? Why isn't his memory worthy of a national debate? Why won't libs even discuss it? These are rhetorical questions since we know the answers, but I don't mind pointing out the glaring inconsistency of libs. As of yesterday, his murder had not seen a second of CNN or MSNBC coverage, let alone the big networks.

Anyway, the looting and rioting and flag burning by the Left (yes, the Left) is despicable. I hope it stops. Is looting/rioting/flag burning all the left has to offer? No, but there's an element among your ranks that is repugnant. Maybe it's also 5%? Whatever it is, it will cost you big in November. People at the end of the day prefer a civilized society.

One last thing: the social media performative art wokeness of lefties on social media is repugnant. Want to show solidarity with black people? Stop screaming that you're 'all about that' and actually hire a few black people to do interior design, architectural design, investment banking, management, anything. The total hypocrisy of those who always say 'we got to do something about that' is belied by their actions. I tell you leftism is a disease because it is...if I read one more celebrity online who is telling their 'followers' to do this or that, when they never do this or that, I'll lose my head.

Hasta.

Unemployment is/was down for everyone. Has/had been on an 11 year decline.

This stat is more meaningful:

“The most dramatic drop in black unemployment came under Obama, when it fell from a recession high of 16.8 percent in March 2010 to 7.8 percent in January 2017,” CBS News reports.

That's so true.

Bear with me while I make my push for two election cycles where whites don't vote. I realize this is crazy and impossible, but I truly believe a demonstrative sacrifice is needed on behalf of whites to correct his dire course we're on.

David Dorn - Much less coverage. Because not all BLM to the BLM movement/CNN. Same reason why the 600+ deaths last year in Chicago and Baltimore are not an issue either. It doesn't match the desired messaging.
