And let murderous thugs run the world.

Many cops die on the job each year. Why should they not have guns when so many criminals do? BTW, British cops do not carry guns except in SWAT team circumstances.

Now that is simply stupid.

The ACLU raises some good points. No bodycam footage should be released to the public without permission of the parties involved, and then after a review by higher officials. Also, in a private setting, people should have the right to ask officers to turn the bodycam off. Still, the bodycam protects officers from…

I heartily agree.

Congratulations, Zack. You have written a rational and fair article, and I agree with you on all points. It is sad that many of the writers on The Root basically write racial diatribes, often filled with outright falsehoods. I hope you will continue to write factually and fairly, as you did in this one.

Well, you have set quite a record. Over the last several years that I have been reading your column, there has not been one that was essentially truthful. The usual pattern is to spew 90% lies, with just enough truth sprinkled in to make people think you are trying to be honest. And that seems to work for most of your…

Viola Davis is one of the finest actresses out there. But I am inclined to accept Candace Owens’s views on race and politics more than hers.

I will give him that. The history is indeed shameful.

Fauci is being inadvertently racist when he suggests black people should trust a vaccine because a black woman worked on it. Is he saying that white scientists do not try to create vaccines that work on everyone? What I trust is the vetting process. I know people in the FDA, and although the schedule was accelerated,…

That seems more likely than an intended racist description. I have been to China dozens of times, and the Chinese people are not in general very racist. But if you look online for mis-translations, you will find many examples, some of which are hilarious.

Amen! And get vaccinated when it becomes possible.

This is disgraceful! While there may be genetic differences between racial groups leading to different susceptibilities (think sickle cell anemia), I am inclined to think this is due to unequal medical care or maybe unequal nutrition. We need to find out and try to fix this problem.

I worry more about the left wing extremists who already control the deep state.

A coup is what has been attempted against Trump for 4 years, and it did not end with this election. We have hard evidence of ballot stuffing, voting machine illegally connected to the internet, dead people voting, more votes counted than registered voters, poll watchers being kicked out under false pretenses,…

Are you really so naïve as to think there WASN”T voter fraud? How pathetic!

Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system ever developed. Socialism has driven more people into poverty than any other. Every material thing you own was brought to you by capitalism.

The remedy was not homeopathic. By definition, homeopathic remedies have no actual active ingredients.

Joe Biden is not the President-elect. That title can only be conferred after the Electoral College has voted.

The DNC is all about high taxes and a lousy economy. Haven’t you learned anything yet?
