I don’t think such behavior is unusual among our state troopers. The Root focuses so much on aberrant, bad behavior by LEO that your readers probably expect such behavior. But it in no way is the norm. Defunding police is one of the most asinine ideas I have ever heard of, but some on The Root advocate it.

Just remember. Planned Parenthood was really founded to reduce the number of black people in this country. Murder of the unborn was what it was all about.

I am sure the former students like this idea. But it will add to the inflation that we are seeing now, and to the Federal debt.

This is idiotic. The Republican party has done far more to benefit black Americans than the Democrat Party, which is the party of slavery and Jim Crow laws.

I have. And I do not see any evidence that he is a racist. On the other hand, there is ample evidence that Biden is, going back for decades.

I don’t trust either party. But the conservative policies are better for everyone but politicians. And SOME Republicans are actually conservative. Virtually no Democrats are.

Amen.

Not nearly as unqualified as the current POTUS.

Will is one of the best actors ever. He did a great job in King Richard. But I don’t think I would have wanted Richard Williams to be my parent. He was very hard to get along with.

This website is full of bigots, including almost all the writers.

Bad advice. Better advice is simply Don’t Do Drugs.

Without the police, the perps would not even have been arrested. And you paint too broad a picture of the South. I used to work with a southern gentleman from Georgia. He always treated black people with respect, and volunteered every year to go to Haiti and help people out who desperately needed it. And did you know…

I don’t get why these guys are out on bail. Attempted murder is too serious to let the perps out on bail.

Stupid idea. The victims and the perpetrators are all dead. Reparations mean innocent people will pay funds to those who have not been harmed solely due to race, including recent African immigrants. And will Japan pay reparations to the USA and China for its atrocities in WWII? Never!

As usual, you and other liberals demonize those who advocate fiscal responsibility. On our current path, the US government will go bankrupt. We cannot increase Federal revenue any more by increasing tax rates. We are well above the Laffer optimum already. The only way forward to solvency is to dramatically cut…

I believe both this case and the Rittenhouse case were decided correctly. Follow the evidence and the law, not your emotions.

Cats are a lot like that, too.

So he is deemed racist because he shot 3 white guys who were trying to kill him? How do you figure that?

I think body cams should be mandatory for all law enforcement personnel at all times.

Your suggestion is good. But defunding the police would be idiotic.
