This is like trying to reason with and explain something to a three year old! There is no rhyme or reason to your posts, they just seem to bounce around like a demented power ball in a padded cell! Someone tries to reason or explain something to you and rather than think it through, or consider it, you just go off on a completely different and illogical tangent! Extremely hard and unrewarding work, and a complete and utter waste of time. 9 minutes ago, Raja Clavata said: It's amazing how an image can stir such emotions - and be used to manipulate people's thoughts. Taking this image at face value and relating it to the current situation, I would imagine it would be difficult for anyone not to be slightly moved or taken aback by it. But anyone that knows the real origin and story behind this pic is aware it has nothing to do with the current headlines but instead represents it's own real life tragedy involving systemic failure. I suspect you are right, sadly. What really moved me last night was the interview with the black police chief who broke down while explaining that three of his officers were in hospital. He just seemed lost, poor bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t worry about- I’ve been called worse. More importantly, surely a power ball in a padded cell won’t bound since the padding will absorb the energy that the ball needs to bounce. I think you will find what you meant to say was “bounce around like a power ball in cell comprising only of hard surfaces and no enclosed spaces in which such a ball could trapped” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Having lived and worked in the US my view is that he wasn't treated that way specifically because he was black. A white person could just as easily have been treated exactly the same way. The problem is that the police over there have always been unaccountable. The only difference now is it was filmed on somebody's phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but that particular nuance doesn't fit the media narrative, nor the agendas of the people who would happily see Rome burn because they can't stand Nero Trump. This includes most of the media. Reality is, if he was a white 'tweaker' - you wouldn't have heard of this. 7 minutes ago, Vince Green said: The problem is that the police over there have always been unaccountable. The only difference now is it was filmed on somebody's phone 50 states, many different police forces, all with different training regimes and operating procedures. Add in State Troopers, Highway patrol, the various government agencies (ATF, DEA, ICE...). Makes it very hard to know who is supposed to be doing what. We have enough of a muddle in this country where we have 40-odd separate fiefdoms, sorry Police forces, and they can't even be bothered to have consistent position on shooting during COVID-19, despite nominating a person responsible to co-ordinate.

Born and bred in London, based on what I picked up in between all the profanity in his speech. Another own goal.
