It’s hard to operate within the confines of rules and regulations and focus on building relationships with the community you hope to serve so they decide to trust you instead of seeing you as adversaries. We know that micro-managing agencies didn’t start with President Obama and if anything is heavily tied to…

In your experience attending anti-violence protests how many have ended in violence? Was it connected to gangs or was it a random incident? Based on your comment, I assume you attend these events regularly; what would be a more effective way to handle the violence that occurs at the protests you attend? I assume your…

I’d argue that it is talked about in the media, just not the mainstream media. It’s in community, local, and minority sources but it’s not juicy enough for CNN, MSNBC or Fox News. The funny thing about all of this is, I saw a report on SBS Australia about Chicago and Ferguson where they spent so much time talking…

Yes, it’s possible because often police unions are snowflakes and help those cops who were triggered by harsh words, and criticism and decide they don’t want to do their job but still get paid.

Must be nice.

I agree in the higher death toll’s in those incidents but I think it’s up to qualify this event. It IS the deadliest shooting in US History by a single person. It is not the deadliest overall massacre / shooting in history. It’s not that I think we should teach and remember things like Wounded Knee, it just seems knee…

Depends on the person.

One guy told me “well I was a teacher for 30 years and dealt with “these kids” for years. It’s someone else’s problem now.”

Another person engaged me in discussion and admitted he’s not actually looked into it and had no idea. We talked further, and he was shocked to find out about a recent…

I turn it around on them. Because I’m active in my community I’ll ask them specific questions like “you seem very interested and concerned with violence in black communities. What is your opinion on the peace in the streets march? What about 1000 men? I assume you were at the march two weeks ago and as such, how did…

Makes me think of this:

So noted. I’m an idiot :)

Delaware Ohio is super right wing. Super conservative and has regular incidents of racism. They worship the military, hard core support Trump and right wing conservative candidates and are quick to jump to racism. I absolutely hate going to Delaware because of this as people will smile to your face, then use racial…

The fact they gave Solaris an F... I can’t even take them seriously. I mean Mother is weird but it’s not an F film. Maybe a C or a D. It’s quirky and hard to watch at points but overall is def not an F in my opinion.

As far as their rating on Solaris...I don’t care if you don’t like the film itself; based on Jeremy…

Columbus is so corrupt it’s not even funny. The City Council is corrupt and is advancing gentrification with tax abatements which takes money of our schools. The current mayor had a scandal around school spending years ago. The last mayor got caught in a Redlight camera scandal, buy offs with his house being bought by…

Come on, First Nations isn’t Euro booty. It’s just light skin brown booty. Have you seen Ashley Callingbull, Roseanne Supernault, or Tanaya Beatty? Not bad..

Hold on..

First nations women got some booty too.

Amazon pantry and order what you need spice and dry goods wise, then get your pig parts from the Asian grocery.

If you’re hurting for PBS just watch it online.

I see what you wrote but we all know the game we really need is Crimson Skies 2.

I honestly prefer AoE3 out of all of the games in the series. With the ability to heavily customize and edit settings, along with the physics and Enlightenment Age warfare, it had some great ideas and play ability. My biggest disappointment with the game was the naval aspects as it was a chance to really expand the…

Meh, this is a pretty standard haircut in the military globally of all races really. Letting it grow long like Hitler did is what sets it off but seriously... this is a non-issue.

Well I haven’t been posting updates about it because I’m not feeding into the tragedy mindset of “THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT” people. I look at the 5 BLM protestors who got shot; I look at all of the other people who have been beaten, hit by cars, or been killed by Neo-Nazis and the KKK over the…

I spoke with a friend about these monuments the other day and I kind of blew his mind.

He said “yeah but the residents of those states wanted those monuments to honor their heritage.” to which I said “which residents? The white ones? At the time, in nearly every Southern state there were more black residents than…
