    There is plenty of evidence that discrimination against POC is not limited to people of other colors. Black cops abuse black suspects too. I think @soccernutter even had a post upthread about how POC can become complicit and participate when that culture exists within a department.

    I think their would be a reticence among most US troops to shoot US citizens without respect to color and some bloodthirsty bastards that would just want to use their guns and kill people.

    Tthe vandalism and violence needs to be gotten under control. It is simply a matter of time before the wrong persons business gets attacked and we will be adding more deaths to our excess death count. It would not be a crime in I think 25 or so states to protect your property by use of lethal force.

    So, Trump wanted to take a photo op with a Bible in hand, in front of a church? Good grief.

    I wonder why he didn't read from "TWO Corinthians" while there.

    On the up side, Trump showed that he can walk a block. I didn't think he could, at least not without needing a rest stop halfway there, or supplementary oxygen.

    It was not burned to the ground. But yes, it was one in which a fire was started yesterday.

    And again, after the events of today with the ME in Minnesota, do you see my point now?

    So he had police and national guard evacuate the park just for a walk across to the church and pose for " I am the boss" picture. What a clown.

    Um, Gov. Inslee, don't you still have National Guard called up to handle the protests? You might send them home as you are so concerned.

    It needs to be said here for people who don't understand how dangerous and stupid this is that there was a 7pm curfew in DC. They began clearing out the area in a forceful manner well ahead of the curfew for a ********ing photo op. Media got pushed around and was targeted in all of this confusion once again. ******** Trump.

    Do you tell them to find another study group?

    My (increasingly limited) church experiences have never involved White people, so I don't know what I'd do if I were suddenly thrust into a situation where I had to worship alongside certain ones of them, knowing that their approach to faith has probably influenced their ignorance of my plight.

    The last positive actual conversation I had with a police officer came after we did an active shooter drill when I was living in Memphis. After an active shooter drill. That is the only reason they were there. [edit - They said we did well.] And when they had an impromptu de-briefing after the drill, I told them about students who they missed hiding in a unlocked bathroom (and did everything right. One even fell asleep). The response was "oh," and a shrug of the shoulders.

    It's just one hammerblow after another with this story.

    As a Christian, the image of Trump waving the Bible around is just crushing. If you haven't seen it, you should look for it.
    Well, now you know.
    I just want to point out that there's alot of vandalism, but very little violence. That's why calling antifa domestic terrorists has that extra layer of stupid. They just break stuff. STUFF! We can make more stuff! George Floyd is ********ing dead! We can't reanimate him!

    It's like, there is a large cadre of white people who value stuff more than black lives.

    There are times when it is fine for you to participate, and there are times when you should not and just read/listen. This is one of those times when you should just read/listen.
