Anybody who would utter the name Obama right now is suspect. Especially in regard to a police force that has been infiltrated by stone cold racists. Obama bent over backward to appease everyone and bring everyone together. He was naive in that regard b/c at the end of the day the color of his skin is what caused all the division. I swear to God, this country is going to fall if decent white people like yourself don't start calling a spade a spade.

It was in response to a post about the positive steps Obama took. God forbid someone point out an area they feel he could have improved. We should all remember how perfect he was just like Trumps followers will remember what a fucking champion he has been. That’s how progress is made, complete nose-up-the-ass followership.

Chief Hall needs to go. She fucking sucks. She signed off on the tear gas order. There is no doubt there were outside elements that came in and started shit but DPD went in with an aggressive mindset. 

I gave her shit for yesterday. I'll give her props today. She's out with the protesters today who are peacefully marching.

Marla, you are an attorney.  You should know that passing a counterfeit 20 is not forgery.  At worst, it's "uttering a false instrument," and it requires knowledge that it's a false instrument.  

I can't believe this guy got killed over a fake 20.  I have had cashiers mark 20s I gave them countless times and I'm pretty sure the worst thing that would have happened is they take it and say "that's no good, got another one"?

@Casual Encounter supports Trump as equally as he did Obama.

But there it is. The line we usually get when a black man dies at the hands of the police. But he was committing forgery so therefore if he died, no big deal. At least we're finally not getting that shit from a multitude of people. At least not publicly.

He could have done it and it would not made a difference you doofus. He could have given each police officer in this country $100k minimum salary and an army tank and it would not have made a lick of difference b/c of the inherent racism in those ranks and the way the Right was painting Obama at the time. Did you forget about the beer summit. Dude had that spectacle despite the officer being in the wrong just to appease LEO and their worshipers. Didn't make a lick of difference.

and some type of national DB tracking these assholes as they scoot state to state getting a new gig after they HAD to be fired from their current one. that state to state shit is letting this repeat.  Might be something still with the unions? not sure but yeah that too.

I have not seen many voices supporting the blue and the murder of Floyd. Your words come across as passionate, and just but who is the "you" that you are addressing? Is it the center of the country? The fringes? The stereotypical right leaning supporter you have in your head?

I'd argue that the moral core of this country is disgusted by the murder of Floyd. This core is also disgusted by systemic racism and the looting and destruction of business across this country.

Partisanship is destroying the core of this country. The core we need to overcome the social issues we are seeing play out now and fix these issues so our country can heal. How can we be so divided when many of us agree Floyd was murdered, and the majority are shocked and dismayed by the violence and vandalism we have seen these past few nights? Partisanship is a primary culprit.

Please continue your message board tirades and hopefully leave them on this board. If you talk like this to people in person, you are doing your part to pull the center apart.

There are people that are presumably billed large sums of money for Brisket to be their attorney. In summary, vet your lawyer.

He fucking did publicly denounce the shootings you moron. He was in Europe when it happened and held a press conference in Warsaw, Poland shortly afterwords. He left Europe early to come back to the U.S. as a direct result of the shootings. I am sorry he didn't stop by your house to have a chat afterwords and discuss next steps, but it is simply laughable to suggest that Obama didn't publicly respond to the shootings. 

You’re referring to one incident. I’m referring to the string of shootings which were occurring.

Not a boomer. Not inventing my own reality. The reality was, this wasn’t just a one time event and even though he spoke following the biggest incident, I don’t recall anything else. I remember wondering why he was largely absent and knew cops who felt that way. I’m explaining how they felt. I’m not partisan and felt he could have done more to bring the divide closer together.

My post wasn’t about what he was saying to LEOs, but about speaking directly to the public (including the LE hunters) and maintaining a solid stance that their actions weren’t acceptable. As a nonpartisan citizen, I didn’t feel it was there.

Correct. And even if that teacher wasn’t arrested, the district that fired or non-renewed the contract has to report it to the state for their database in Texas.

Also, I’m a campus administrator. It’s not that hard to fire a teacher. It’s likely that they will be able to finish out the year assuming they are being fired for being ineffective and not abusive in some way. The files on some of these cops that keep their job amazes me.
