Sir Charles is brave to speak out, and right about what he says.

However, he misses the point. The leftists don’t want to abolish “the police.” They want to abolish the local police, highway patrol, and sheriffs, so the US has only a federal police force. So Obama or Hillary can appoint a national police director, somebody we all respect, like Comey, so it will work as well as the FBI, the IRS, and Obamacare!

Imagine how well they can control behavior with federal police in be very town and every highway. “Gun control” will become so easy! And any laws they don’t want to enforce, because people need “room to destroy” for example? Immigration violations? “What laws, peons?”

Charles Barkley and his people aren’t relevant to the betterment of a modern society.
The most optimistic look @ Barkley and folks is that they are a solid anchor of dead weight at best.
But of course just worthless doesn’t cost all that much and would be a bargain.
How much do Barkleys and kin actually cost normal people?
Hundreds of billions year after year after year, the waste and failure and less-than-worthlessness compounding exponentially.

Don’t really care what Barkley and his people do to each other as long as they stay the hell away from me and mine.

And Comey apologists here would be telling us the whole time he's actually working to sabotage the Clintons.

"We as black people, we’ve got to do better," said Barkley...‘We as black people, if you want respect, you have to give each other respect.’ You can’t demand respect from white people and the cops [if] we don’t respect each other.

Well said, Sir Charles. (And Bill Cosby said it before Barkley, primarily talking about education.)

You're nuts. Did you actually read what he said? Give me a quote that makes you think Barkley is part of the problem.

Most black people I know are killed by other black people.

Wow, so most of his black family and associates are being killed....That's a lot.

Dan, I’ve been black my whole life.

Not me!...I'll be black one minute, white the next.

There is some reason why there’s racial stereotypes, because some of these black people out there are committing crimes.

Committing MOST crimes, and ALL "black on black" crime.

You can’t be profiling like that...

Why not? Obama has told blacks to declare war on white cops. Not profiling would be "acting stupidly".

Well, you have to understand that lots of folks have a “normalcy bias.” They want to believe that all is right with the world, and even if totalitarians are killing their own populations everywhere else in the world, they won’t do that here.

They will also put on their best clothes for the train ride to the “temporary detention” camps.

It takes some longer than others to grow up but good to see him finally having some common sense.

They don’t want any law enforcement; they’ve resigned themselves to living outside of the legitimate world of paychecks and payroll taxes, and are outside the fringes of the law.

Yep. Without cops it will be open season. Blacks and Muslims will be erased from the face of the earth.

Shhhh. Too much truth might wake up the brain dead, Chuckie. Can’t have that. Got to keep faking the “news” to keep steering the clueless where the master wants them to go. Get with the program, boy.

Poor Le Batard. Trying so desperately to put the milk back in the glass.

Yup. Unfortunately, Sir Charles probably doesn’t read FR, but, when some nit like Le Batard (boy, that name’s really close to...) makes his silly argument, Barkley should ask, “When was the last time there were nationwide, large scale protests by blacks, the last time a black criminal killed someone — anyone? Even a young child (maybe hit by a stray bullet)?

Ummm... In French, it isn't 'close to...', it is!!!

Le Batard both looks and sounds like Flounder from Animal House.

Maybe the gullible fool members of BLM think the idea is to abolish all law enforcement, but their leaders and the larger leftist organizations are simply going to substitute a national police force.

He’s right!

What the low information BLM doesn’t seem to understand is, once the “blue line” is gone, there will be nothing to prevent the rest of us from SHOOTING BACK.

People are pretty much fed up with the Obama brigade, but their only protection has been the law. You can’t hiccup toward a black person without risking your job, fortune, or life these days. Many are just tired of walking on eggshells.

I’m thinking years of hunting, and target practice have honed the “good ol’ boys” into excellent marksmen. Once the blue wall comes down, it’s going to be hell’s a’poppin’ in BOTH direction.

The perps’ protection of the law will disappear with the cops. The black Priveledge of civil rights protection will no longer be in effect, and yelling “racist” will put you, not at an advantage, but in harms way.

So Barkley has a point.

Uh oh. Something tells me there will be some women cropping up from Charles’ past with accusations like what happened to Bill Cosby.

You can’t be speaking things like this, ya know!
