police-involved shootings in Charlotte and Tulsa ... learning how to ... understand all the different perspectives
Precisely what “different perspectives” did the Black police officers involved in the shootings not understand?
“Each of us have to get better perspectives...”
I don’t think so. There is truth, and there is falsehood. If some peoples’ “perspective” doesn’t agree with the truth, then we don’t need their perspective.
They are thinking and saying "GIBSMEDAT!!!!"
They are seeing an opportunity to get more free stuff.
They will find common ground with me when they forswear rioting, looting, burning, murdering and stealing.
Ryan lives in the beltway or whitelandia homogeneous Wisconsin county....2% black
He doesn’t know shite from shinola about race
Plus he’s drunk on good deeds trumps real life
When will Ryan just switch to being a Dem for God’s sake? They are the ones who make policy from feelings instead of facts and logic.
Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.No need to bother switching parties, since liberalism and authoritarianism is a long-standing GOP “tradition” since the postwar period.

Common-ground solutions:
1. Quit arguing/fighting with lawfully acting police.
2. Quit getting high or drunk and arguing/fighting with
lawfully acting police.
3. Quit breaking the law, which tends to cause the police
to show up at your door or stop your car.
4. Quit taunting the police with guns, knives and other
weapons.
Ryan’s political prowess has come in part from being his party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, introducing him to a vast array of wealthy conservative donors with strong ties to Mitt Romney and the Bush family. In addition, he’s benefited from many of those big donors abstaining from financially supporting Trump this year and instead focusing on protecting the House as well as the Senate majority.
Oh, I understand it fine, thanks, Paul. That's why I just ordered another 1000 rounds of 5.56.
