  his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

  Do you actually believe there are laws that say "feel free to pop off some negroes as you drive around"?
  

  I don't know what you are talking about.

  Please point to the legal statute that you think needs to be modified.
  

  What about "Qualified Immunity"?

  Occasionally the actual physical conflict can change public opinion but I think the reality is that opinion has already largely been changed and we're just waiting for laws to catch up
  

  I agree. I believe the whole point of this discussion is about making the police more accountable.

  Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS

  there are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.

  (wts).

  these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

  I noticed after he stepped down from the podium he was wearing a very expensive silk suit and I then followed him to the parking lot where I noticed he just bought a brand new Cadillac.
  

  so true

  @phoenixrising,

  Just because you don't prepare for things does not mean others are crazy for prepping for disaster.
  

  I am not not questioning your preparedness. It is just that you said "If someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough" Couldn't a shotgun be reload with more bullets or are you limited to

  6?

  Why do cars always come with a single spare tyre when you might have 4 tyres to replace?

  If anyone is so stupid as to think that these riots were sparked by some cop committing a crime is not smart enough to hold his own milk money
  

  I think a lot of people will agree with you that the riots are a sign of deeper issues. The unfortunate killing of the guy is just a trigger.

  If I were on the force I would tell them to F off and quit. Have some dignity you idiots.
  

  This makes you sound like an Armchair Export

  The other things you mention have all been changed through the democratic process. That is the only way change can and should happen.
  

  I take it you agree that policing will be much efficient if it is combined with better laws.

  "changed through the democratic process" What you call the democratic process was a lot of protest like the suffragette, it took them almost decades for women to get the right to vote in the UK. They had to fight for it.

  Often times, people have had to fight for their rights. Civil Rights movement, they had to fight for it. Apartheid it South Africa, they had to fight for it.

  Interracial Marriage in the US, they had to fight and they went all the way to the Supreme Court. Once the law was found to be unconstitutional, policing became much easier. Leave and let live

  Effective policing requires rethinking the laws of the land

  So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background.
  

  if these policies where designed with a "racist background", how else should this be understood? I am just quoting what the OP stated.

  No. While laws existed that targeted race and denied rights based on race, then there was institutional racism. Literally, it was in the institutions.
  

  If you have racist laws, it is part of your system and part of your institution. There is no point in trying to sugar coat it.

  I don't have to point to it, you already did

  Is it that bad where you live or are you just generally paranoiac?

  Most police on the beat will likely have a handgun like the Glock. Do you mean that your life is in more danger than your average cop on the street?

  The reality is that the majority of people want tougher policing rather than lax policing or the "no policing" which is now being discussed as though it's remotely realistic.
  

  More people want efficient policing and not necessarily tougher policing. You can not deal with every major societal problem through policing. Law makers can do a lot to ease some of these problems. If you criminalize a lot of things in society, you will also need to be able to enforce those.

  During the Corvid19 lockdown in the UK, lawmakers made a mess and when the police tried to enforce, they were met a lot of backlash from the population. The lawmakers were at fault for making a law that wasn't clear and difficult to enforce and without adequate resources.

  Gay sex used to be illegal and policing it must have been a nightmare. Since the 20th century, criminal laws against adultery have become controversial, with most Western countries decriminalising adultery. What about marijuana? What about women being topless?

  You have a systemic problem that tougher policing will not solve.

  So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background. However the welfare never went away, the Dems simply rebranded them as 'good' and 'helping' and a generation of black people forgot the reason they were designed the way they are and is now wholly dependent on it. Breaking a dependence on free stuff is hard, even though FDR explicitly said that his policies were not intended to last, we have them, almost a hundred years later, in their original form and any politician that says he wants to get rid of Social Security and Welfare is committing political suicide.
  

  In your statement you said until the 60s and you continued by saying that the "the Dems simply rebranded them as 'good' and 'helping' and a generation of black people"

  You just simply confirmed that "Institutional racism" still exist and it is perpetuated by the Dems.

  What a lot of people seem to overlook when talking about welfare in America is that removing it will not only impact the black community, but also white people. Apparently there are more white people on Food stamps in America.
