It is what it is .... AA. Trump wants cities, states and the Post Office to go bankrupt. Got nothing to do with Kung Flu.

“The bill’s not going to happen because they don’t even want to talk about it, because we can’t give them the kind of ridiculous things that they want that have nothing to do with the China virus,” Trump said ....

The post was about the unfortunate death of a young man at the hands of the police.

Police departments will obviously have to be restructured

Part of the restructuring will be getting to focus on true law enforcement to address gang violence which appears to be a major source of public gun violence

I try to avoid interacting with you, because you always come along and whitesplain what I don't understand.

I answered questions that were posed.

Edit to add:

Everyone knows about COVID

Trump is not capable of handling COVID

Trump supporting Governors cannot deal with COVID

Trump's effort to look strong during the Portland protests failed miserably

Nothing will change with Trump in office

You lecture me about COVID but you ramble on about the "Woke"

Is all a sideshow much ado

Is all a sideshow much ado about the way things used to be.

What don't you get about coronavirus meaning many taxpayers leaving big cities and taxpaying businesses closing in the midst of massive budget deficits already--not to mention looting together with customers leaving causing luxury stores to leave.

What that means: back to cities being impoverished ghettoes with only poor mostly unemployed citizens providing no tax income for the cities, who will be lucky to have garbage collection and firemen and rudimentary schools much less social services and a decent police force! This is all fiddling while Rome burns. We are in a totally different world than 2019.

There will be NO new social services in big cities. They will be lucky if they have services at all, as there will be few left to pay for them. At minimum, St. Louis and Milwaukee everywhere.

Edit to add:

In the nationally publicized homicides, the elements appeared to be a community that didn't trust, the police, local activists who mobilized the community because they didn't trust the police, and local politicians who didn't trust the police.

Here we have a politician telling us what has been done to prevent a future similar occurrence.

The goal of the protests is to change policies. The religious leader attended BLM protests, the city council changed policy.

The national dialogue on mental illness being handled by police is already underway.

like I said over here.

Is the problem sometimes racism? Of course! But not exclusively. One problem (racism) is not the same as the other (police and authoritarian abuse.)

It got all mashed together in worldwide mass hysteria. Hysteria in solidarity against and fear of bullying. While perhaps the biggest pandemic of all times is going on causing tremendous contraction of the global economy and only the very wealthy are safe from the ramifications.

It's been known to happen, i.e., sackcloth and ashes religious movements targeting sin during The Plague. A perfect storm. Not a logical way to proceed to solve crises. Supposed to be "all hands on deck". Trump/Russia divisiveness wins again. Two months wasted protesting on the streets, what exactly? Lives matter. No kidding. Again: pandemic.

Protests. National

The debate is already taking place

“Police should be the absolute last option in these situations. As we have a bigger discussion around reforms to police training, funding and procedures, there must be a deep look at how we treat emotionally disturbed people. As we hopefully divert $1 billion from the NYPD’s existing budget into social services, that must include supporting trained mental health professionals who can be our first line of response alongside EMTs. We owe that to our fellow New Yorkers who have been left behind for too long.”

New York City Council voted on Tuesday to divert $1 billion from NYPD’s budget into social services.

State Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (republican candidate for U.S. Congress) didn’t issue a statement on George Zapantis’ tragic death in the hands of the Police. Malliotakis who takes pride as a strong “law and order conservative”) also didn’t march with Archbishop Elpidophoros in Brooklyn, at a BLM rally. On Tuesday, she called the NYC Council “idiotic” for voting to divert 1 billion from NYPD to social services, claiming falsely that the “cut is enough to completely eliminate the NYPD’s anti-terrorism efforts until the year 2026.”

Do Greek lives matter? As noted elsewhere, cops kill a lot of white suspects and innocents too - more by numbers than blacks even though less by percent. But this sadistic killing will also go unpunished, and no organization will lead protests for a "privileged" white man, no national dialogue will take place over mental illness and abuse of the disabled.
