Surprisingly bold, deliciously fresh, pragmatically real...like a fine whine.
The police officer has civil rights too....and from all I’ve read and heard, the evidence points to the fact that Brown almost took the officers civil rights from him....permanently. When Al Sharpton dies, the world will be a better place.....and I truly wish death on no one....not even Al Sharpton.....but, facts are facts.
Ferguson had NOTHING to do with civil rights.....NOTHING
She is irrelevant on the issue as well.
Bold....2 weeks after the fact.
“Imagine what we would feel and what we would do if white drivers were three times as likely to be searched by police during a traffic stop as black drivers instead of the other way around.”
The question places race as the only difference between two traffic stops, which pretends - erroneously - that all traffic stops have the same context, which ignores the higher crime rates in the heavily black urban setting, which is why CONTEXT - what’s going on - is the DOMINANT factor behind all traffic stops. Unless and until you place the CONTEXT of the traffic stop into the analysis, you cannot simply say that race was the deciding factor that someone be frisked or not.
“If white offenders received prison sentences ten percent longer than black offenders for the same crimes.”
Judges are usually given a range that is possible for a sentence and usually look at how “aggravated” is the context in which a crime occurred, and give, or recommend a sentence to be higher or lower based on the circumstances. For that reason you cannot compare two robberies simply on the race of the offender alone, and you cannot compare two sentences for robbery based on race alone, without knowing how “aggravated” the circumstances were. Only with ALL parts of the context and the jurisdiction being equal can you compare two convictions and THEN you can judge any other differences in the defendants.
“If a third of all white men – just look at this room and take one-third – went to prison during their lifetime.”
Yes, the crime rate for black men is higher. That is a fact of their commission of crimes and it is not higher than for whites because defendants who were black should have been let off more often and defendants who are white should have been convicted more often. A criminal is not a victim of someone else’s rave. They are a “victim” of their own crime.
Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the calculations, secret deals, and backstabbing that led to the Clintons’ return to political prominence, and to Hillary’s position as 2016 frontrunner.
The Bill and Hillary Clinton who left the White House in January 2001 almost seem like two different people from the ones the country now reveres. Back then they were a disgraced couple, weighed down by a decade of scandal, controversial pardons of financial supporters, and the pedestrian pilfering of furniture from the White House.
A dozen years later, as they prepare for a second White House run, the Clintons are in a completely different orbit. Not only have they gone from virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, they are arguably the two most popular politicians in America-respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. Even their daughter Chelsea, raised in the White House as her father was impeached, is considering a go at politics. The Clintons will be around for some time to come.
Investigative reporter Daniel Halper of the conservative Weekly Standard uses a wealth of research and detailed interviews with friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn around their political fortunes-deals with their political allies, their political enemies, and even each other.

How rich are they?
Clintons raised $2-3 billion in two decades
The Hill ^ | July 2, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife
Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.
The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.
Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.
The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.
Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--

The latest Clinton frown-line maker is that they are investors in "The Beast"----the freight train company bringing illegals across the border to leech off Americans. There have been thousands of accusations of human rights abuse, and even reports of murder on the freight trains transporting undocumented migrants to the US border. The migrants have also reported train operators standard practice of extorting money from the passengers.
The trains used and involved in these accusations are publicly-traded companies, traded on NASDAQ, with "very influential stockholders", such as Clinton and Carlos Slim. Other stockholders include,T Rowe Price, Bank of America, and General Electric.
A real bummer is that these Mexican-originated transportation companies are involved in the Narco trade, and one report makes it clear that the companies are aware of the abusive practices their train operators are engaging in. The border swarm is all about human trafficking, narco trafficking, and government and corporate collusion.
NOT THE LI LIMITED---no running water and flush toilets
on those trains. How did the riders handle body wastes?
Coming to America---free ride courtesy of the Clintons.
