It's been ~2 loving years. The Civil Rights Movement took like 10+ years to get meaningful changes you idiot.

I'm pretty sure the Civil Rights Act came about because MLK clapped his hands and willed it into existence.

Is this not the case?

Dallas was not the same as any other protest you just cited. Dallas was a peaceful planned and targeted protest that turned violent because of a crazy guy with a guy wanting to kill cops.

NC is even more complex that it seems because, IIRC there has a been a questionable shooting once every couple of months there and the whole community was already on edge.

Let me also add that random violence against police is about the most counterproductive thing imaginable, in case anyone was getting any ideas based on what I've posted.

Because we are having a #BLM derail*.

*Not really a derail since it is super pertinent to this election and US politics in general.

If it were up to me, I would put police and their families (lmao, and their families!) into internment camps. But nobody should read into my comments that we should consider maybe committing random acts of violence against police.

Racists find it pretty easy to hide it from others, even themselves until they get some kind of trigger.

Seems like the best chance of getting a conviction to me. Similar to the Freddie Grey case. These cops, especially a female cop, who gets up there and says they were in fear of their life just seem amazingly hard to convict.

I'm still of the standpoint that if a group of armed professionals is in fear of their lives from an unarmed individual, that is an acceptable plea in court but should also prove they lack the temperment and courage to serve as officers of the law.

The Hill has been anti-Hillary to an almost goofy degree for a long while now. It used to be you could go onto r/politics in the runup to the DNC and see the front page clogged with like 15 different Hillary conspiracy stories published by The Hill because the #NeverHillary rubes ate that poo poo up like Pringles.

It's always refreshing when posting in a comedy forums labeled Debate & Discussion in a subforum designated for U.S. Politics that the majority of responses to a challenge to the collective hive mind is some form of "oh yeah, well you loving suck" or "you must be old". Most of you guys are way to loving easy to trigger.
