Luhe, have you even seen the video? We're talking about a police officer who was throwing barrel rolls and in a clear rage, not a chap to be reasoned with, indeed, when she told him he violently assaulted her. You're talking shit, quite frankly.

The request really wasn't that reasonable. The girl was hesitant to leave because she wanted to pick up her glasses. The idea that she should abandon her property (eye glasses are expensive) because of a power tripping policeman is rather ridiculous. She was probably worried about getting in trouble with her parents who would have had to replace the glasses.
Generally if you violently assault someone and pull a gun on people you will be charged for it, there should be no exception here. -

Billyblobber, you write a great post, but there's an overlap here, we wouldn't get the same response to a video that showed a violent assault on a white girl.
These views lead to the creation of policies that hurt black people, which is the real problem of racism as you know.

Racism and sexism are still alive and well on JWN I see... :/
It should be surprising to see the violent assault of a teenage girl who broke no laws and exhibited no violent or threatening behaviour not just defended but praised, but when that teenage girl is black it's basically par for the course around here.

Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?
by PokerPlayerPhil init's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

this reminds me of the experiment of sending out two exact resumes over a period of 4 years or so. One had the name Dante Williams a common black name the other Donald Williams. Dinald williams received 50% more calls although everything was exactly the same.
Paul, have you ever seen these videos from YouTube? Anyone who watches these and still claims black people are not treated differently because of skin colour is a racist. Check your privilege.

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

Hi all (good thread). Re: Acts, the context is the important thing. If you had a serious illness and your doctor told you to abstain from alcohol you would understand this means drinking it and that you can still use deodorant containing alcohol. If you had a skin problem and a dermatologist told you to abstain from alcohol you would know you can still have a glass of red wine.
The point is that it's not possible to actually 'abstain from blood' (think about it) you can only abstain from an action relating to blood, the verse in Acts is about the action of eating or drinking it, not transfusions. -
