Which makes sense given that our local police forced a black driver out of his car for having a broken tail light and illegally tinted windows:

But you seem like you were easily duped by the proffered narrative, so the story hit its mark. Congratulations.Last edited by Mountain Man; 08-06-2020, 11:45 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

That isn't police policy to have every driver that they pull over get out of the car. They must smell weed or see evidence of intoxication before humiliating them. Police can remove someone from their car if they think they have an arrest warrant or if they want to make an illegal search of the car or the driver. Once the driver is out they can then pat him down and search for their safety.

Originally posted by seanD View PostThe article indicates that those who wanted "less time" have had the most negative encounters with police or believe those encounters will be negative. If you believe blacks are being harassed by cops much more than whites, then the "less time" numbers should be higher. Both can't be true. Either black folks are getting harassed by police like you claim, thus have negative views about police, or they're not getting harassed like you say, thus they want more police in their community. So it confirms what i said earlier. It's the criminals that make up the minority who want less police because they're engaging in criminal activity and is why they've had negative encounters with police.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI rarely respond to fragmented posts because it's all discombobulated and hard to make out any sort any primary point from the post.
Originally posted by seanD View PostYou mentioned Trump's view about Kaepernick and droned on about bringing attention to black brutality, but I don't see how that was relevant to the OP and the poll that was taken, or how it contradicts BLM's (and other city official's) call to defund police.
Originally posted by seanD View PostIf you can succinctly wrap in up in a paragraph, it would help to see what point you're making. It's not hard to do. Just focus on the key point and build around that.
What you SHOULD be acknowledging is that black population is largely wise to Biden's and Trump's manipulation of them and, like all Americans, are stuck between choosing fecal sandwich and vomit casserole.Last edited by whag; 08-06-2020, 05:17 PM.

Originally posted by whag View PostThat's your problem, not mine. Point-by-point response is traditionally how discourse plays out, especially in a forum. What you did was a lazy hand wave.
I think it's best if somebody wants a particular point answered, that they just state that point in its own post.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
