It would have been a good day to take a sick day if you're a Houston cop.

I think this will go on for quite sometime. The movement is just gaining momentum. It will be interesting to see at the first NFL game, assuming it's the HOF game, will every player kneel down during the nat'l anthem?

what is "this" its a shame they are making police misconduct about race. because police misconduct is a real thing. racism is overblown in 2020, its not 1955. racism is a casper the ghost pawn that liberal use on election years

The biggest racist piece of shit on this forum is saying racism doesn't exist in 2020, how much more ignorant can you get?

Racism still exists, mostly in the hearts of black people, whites have evolved beyond such silly things.

Eh, it’s much better than it was but it could use some work,
It is worse.
Now that race relations have been politicized they have truly lost their way.
We are closer to civil war than peace, love and understanding.
Divided by race, religion and fueled by wealth.
Not a good path to this MAGA bullshit that is now all but forgotten.

Nope, it's far worse. Obama being POTUS was an affront to racists, and led by the Idiot Birther, they upped their game. People are correct in saying racism increased under Obama, but it's not from anything he did, but rather just existing as what he was. And here we are.

Wonder why Obama couldn't solve the black literacy problem in 8 years.

Must have been because of the police. LOL.
Defunding the police is a mistake.
The solution for a bad cop is a good cop, not NO COPS.

George Floyd was a pretty good high school athlete. 6foot 5inches tall. Starred in both football and basketball. Wonder if he got any scholarship offers. Something tells me, he might have struggled in the class room. If he showed up for class at all.

I think its more a wealth divide than anything,, i agree social media polarizes everything now. Everyone has a voice and a platform to use. Nothing will change for the blacks until they have their house in order though.

Yeah no cops is a stupid idea. No two ways about it.....
It's no wonder AOC is pushing the agenda. If it's bad for the country she's all for it.

Exactly, the goal of the left is to destroy america, if it's a bad idea, they're for it.
Keep in mind once they destroy the cities, eliminate the police, then if they get power the flooding of the country with illegals will begin, the final ingredient for total decline.

John, defunding the police doesn't mean getting rid of the police, please don't think defunding equates to disbanding. Personally I'm against defunding but I'm all for reforming the police, obviously things need to change and I'm not pretending I have all the answers, truth is I wouldn't even know where to start, that's the job of others to figure out, but something definitely needs to change

What the Fuck Does the N.F.L. Have to Do With This ?
₩here in free flyin fukk did this assinine narrative come from that cities were "getting rid of cops"?
This is what happens when tards become involved in political discourse for the first time. Propagated bullshit.
Leave politics to those who actually want to build policy and make positive change, not start a fukkin civil war.
Never seen any of these fukkin clowns make one fukkin arrempt to try to work together with an ideology that doesn't suit their 2×4 mentality. Not one time.
What the fukk you gonna build with that gravel road mentality? You even care to make anything better? Or is it more important to fight than fix?
Argument ain't for determining the maximum of your differences and filling that chasm with verbal sewage, troll trash or hot air. . Argument is for making that maximum difference shrink, disappear or fill it with negotiated compromise.
Pretty obvious you novice politicos have opposing viewpoints. What the free flying fukk you doing to make them work?

Understood.
Black Lives Matter, on its website, is calling for a national defunding of the police.
I'm against that policy.
We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive. If you’re with us, add your name to the petition right now and help us spread the word.

I don't agree with defunding the police, I think BLM would be better served waiting until things have calmed down before deciding what they should do, right now emotions are running high and people might not be thinking clearly, I would wait until things calmed down and then with more time to think about it, it would be easier to figure out what their agenda should be
