    In case you have not realized. This great American "experiment" called capitalism is slowly being transformed into a country with authoritarian tendencies (found in Russia/China).

    All the creepings of "Putin-ism" that labels dissenting opinions into "they dont love the country or flag" is exactly what the critiques of kneeling protest are showing.

    There appears to be memory loss as to why America was against "the axis of evil" in the last 2 world wars.

    The underlying reason for the kneeling is due to the "scrapping off the healing scabs" when injustice is served by the legal system.

    This system is manipulated to circumvent "excessive use of force" against a particular group of people?

    This is why I advocate everyone wear a bodycamera, especially in the African American neighborhoods where police brutality is hitting the most. Want to make the police behave, arm everyone with a video camera.

    Excessive use of force against criminals?

    I took the old man to play poker the other night, and there was a HUGE discussion about these boarder patrol agents that put forth the idea this kid drink the liquid in the container he had, since he claimed it was just water.

    Well it was concentrated liquid meth. Two swallows, and a few minutes later his heart exploded and he is thus deceased.

    Most people demonized the agents.

    But at the root cause, this young man, who had just come from his church ministry where he volunteered his time and took his Holy Communion.......oh wait, he wasn't doing that, he was smuggling meth into the United States to destroy other people's lives and got caught.

    So I guess at the real heart of the matter, smuggling drugs into our country is bad, and had he not put himself in that position, maybe he'd still be alive.

    But the bottom line is, he chose to be there.

    You normally make very insightful posts, but this one isn't one of them.

    What do you say to the 10yr old that was almost hanged by his white "friends"

    Or will it be another one of those "they were just "playing". C'Mon man. You are better than this.

    He was actually 8 years old. But, ya know, you can't experience racism or know anything at that age, so...
