Controversial General Political Discussion

[Z-Saber]

Lmao why would he go after people recording him when he already has a body cam? Some of these cops also be in their head too at times. Not familiar with this case but if they thought he was a suspect they were after… their aggressive approach is understandable, resisting even escalates that further for obvious reasons.

It’s an older case, it’s from a twitter video a few pages back. An arrest was being made, bystanders were recording. They saw an officer putting drugs on the ground and he moved aggressively to try and confiscate their cameras. The bystanders weren’t suspects in that case and the suspect was already on the ground and in handcuffs. There was no reason for him to move aggressively towards them.

I disagree though about blaming people for taking things at face value when it's like an endless stream of things causes major problems in our society when it's proven that usually it ends up wrong. This isn't a new phenomena either.

What is going to solve issues, blaming or educating?

@Z-Saber to put it simply because I just realized that might have sounded rude or condescending. I'm just wanting you to investigate things before you take them at face value and especially before you share them

No offense taken.

Educating 100% is always the best way to go, but you have to admit many people do not want to be educated.

Let me guess, New York?

No it happened in Jefferson Parish, here in Louisiana. The suspect came out and admitted they were his drugs and that they weren't being planted.

He did show a different video yesterday where NY cops got caught several times planting drugs, and each time, including the last time, they got what would be considered a slap on the wrist despite their habitual history of the same stunt.

They don’t. I won’t pretend to be perfect either since even I posted about something I didn’t have the facts about.

Truthfully, I don’t know but I don’t think it was New York. It can happen anywhere though.

An 8 minutes video of democrats questioning the election results and saying it was stolen.

Always hilarious to see Democrats having a meltdown over something they accuse their counterparts of doing. As Malcom X put it they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I noticed you haven't heard a lot of things that is well known. If I post a video of where they all talk about how Trump stole the election if you would believe it? I will go find it.

I meant the voter base. I don't even see how he would've had the ability to steal an election back then. I don't agree with them, but you should apply that same standard to the right when they claim the democrats stole it in 2020.

ANd don't be rude, I;m not the one who is conveniently ignorant when it comes to israel/palestine.

I subscribe to the "To anger a Conservative, Tell him a lie. To anger a Liberal, Tell him the Truth."

I wasn't being rude about it. I just know someone said they don't watch videos that are posted here. Not sure who it was, so covering bases.


I freely admitted that and also stated I would remain that way.

You’re only proving his point by responding in that manner

No, But it's generally the case, and I'm not talking about the World, I'm talking about the US. that Sphere.

I don’t know them and haven’t interacted with them much so I can’t say from a personal standpoint but nuance is something we can use a lot more of in the world.

I personally don’t consider myself to have a political alignment as I believe ethics are more important than politics. I only engage in political discussion because sometimes politics overlap with my ethics.

 

[Haoshoku]

Whose point?

The point you made about liberals getting angry. Tho on a serious note it only applies when it comes to certain issues, conservatives get equally dense when it comes to other things.

 

[Ravagerblade]

The point you made about liberals getting angry.

Ok? Not understanding the context. I may have dropped my post in the middle of some discussion that I am not apart of.

 

[Zemmi]

If anyone believes and agrees with 100% of what their affiliation is, they are doing it wrong and I point back to the sheep being led. I think that is a great first agreement from both sides for any meaningful conversation to solve problems should start.

I’ve talked to sensible and delusional people from both ballparks. Poison is too easily sold to the masses.
