    Wiz, I had a look at stats you shared on US crime figures, by race. I think they actually suggest the bias is increasing against coloured people in the US, if you look more closely.

    If you look at it in terms of population numbers, African Americans are more than four times more likely than a white coloured person to being shot and killed by the police, and it's been getting been consistently and progressively getting worse since 2017. Same for Hispanics. But, it's improving for the majority population (whites). 

    Bear in mind, the autopsy on the Floyd case has also been ruled a homocide by asphyxiation.

    So that suggests there could very well be bias, as many African Americans will tell you, based on their personal experiences, even well educated ones and ones in respectable professions.

    Including, Burbon's wife, who can account for many cases of being prejudiced by police.

    The other thing is, humans are biased! Whether it's ideological, racial, value systems, or other tribal differences such as say views on footy teams. It's natural. It takes a lot to transcend bias, in reality.

    Houston, we have a problem. And it seems to be getting worse.

     Getting shot to death by police.

     

    As an aside:

    The above calculations were based on figures from  https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by... and then extrapolated to reflect it in terms of population numbers. Say for example, African Americans were almost six times (5.6) less the population. So their figures were multiplied by 5.6.

    Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 228 civilians having been shot, 31 of whom…
  • Great to hear thia from an African American. The truth and a responsible and balanced position!

    • It isn't as simple as this either unfortunately. It's not a circular argument or however he phrases it to suggest that white people are responsible for the socio economic position of blacks in America its historic fact which we all know well. It doesn't make it directly the fault of most whites in America today but that doesn't change the fact of it. 

      If you have any degree of financial security in life human nature is to protect that. If you don't then you have nothing to lose and human nature is to rebel. All there riots emphasise is the amount of insecure Americans today of all colours. The death of George Floyd is the catalyst for these riots but it's far from the reason for them. 

      • Very well said ME! Totally agree!

  • All this is, is the left trying to avoid defeat once again in November.

    They haven't accepted Trumps victory since he won in 2016, and they have continually tried to undermine his government since.

    The constant harassment of Trump is something to behold and in some cases admire TDS is an official disease. It started with the Russiagate Hoax, then the Ukraine Impeachment, then the extended COVID 19 lockdowns by mostly democrats Govenors and now current riots conducted under the fake George Floyd narrative, are all designed by the left to try to oust Trump from the Whitehouse.

    It's obvious to most that the reason they are is because ultimately, if he wins another term, everything that they corrupt left have worked so hard for the last 20/30 years, will be destroyed taken apart legislation by legislation, Supreme Court justice by Supreme Court justice and they simply can't let that happen. Even if it means destroying the country in the process.

    He's already taken the US out of the
    Climate Paris Accord, he's stopped funding WHO, he's renegotiated countless trade deals and he's questioning a plethora of other leftist bodies.

    IMO he's the most controversial president that's ever lived and simply the best IMO..

    • Yes Frank, I'm sure this is a vast left wing conspiracy between African American communities and the Democratic party and not a response of frustration to decades / centuries of systematic oppression.

      But let's for arguments sake assume your right.In which alternative reality does the opposition party not try to undermine and  derail the party in power?

      http://right.In/
      • It is a conspiracy but not just from the left. The conspiracy also involves RINOs members of his own party...they will do anything to stop his re-election 

        Yes, you can try to undermine and derail the opposition but you do it legally.

        Everything these low lives have done since his election campaign began, has had a criminal edge to it, ie Russiagate, the setting up of political opponents and the illegally issued FISA warrants....

        Obama in effect armed his office with illegal information gathered by his counter intelligence agencies to spy on political opponents and he denied it.
        He lied........this has been proven (all coming out now) and this has never been done before by any president. The lefts demigod is actually a crim.

        • Cointelpro?

          Watergate?

      • And you see no issue with all of the above?

        Imagine if these frauds were perpetrated by Trump on OBUMMA or Biden?

    • Nailed it Tank

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???

I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…
