Biden has yet to denounce and condemn the shooting of two police officers in LA. Why is that? Will Biden take a stance of police de-funding? He is on a very slipper slope supporting one(BLM) and dropping the other(police).

Very true, you had some Tea Party nutters insisting obama was a Muslim terrorist - they were about as sane and well informed as the people who call Trump, Hitler. |

Its as if an army invading another country stops worrying about logistics of food supply chains, instead eats the dead enemies killed in the battle before. Maybe not tasteful. But efficient.

I never felt love for electronic voting. To call this method an execution of utmost naivety is a polite understatement.

In the Primetime news I heard the journalist who is in USA saying following.
It's about the shooting at these two policeofficer who was sitting in their police car in Los Angeles. "The general perception among Americans is that a war is being waged with the country's police forces" Is this true do you my American friends have this view there's a war against your police forces ?

I heard about that, some sicko then filmed it while laughing, protesters then turned up at the hospital to celebrate and shout 'Your next' at other officers, really messed up. George Floyds death was messed up too, but this a whole new level of disturbing. |

I think so but I also think it's been that way for decades. Ever since the war on drugs escalated, gangster mentality became urban cool and the big drug cartels became more violent, the police responded by becoming more paramilitary. Now we have this mess and the attempts to defund the police. The police need reform but the war will go on as long as lawlessness tries to win. It's already well past the point where anything but serious crime is ignored. People suck and they suck more and more.

Yeah, I hope the US can pull though in the end, though at the moment it seems like a perfect storm over there, even if the craziness is only a minority.

Yes killing for joy always is sick, in any context. But what has happened there, had to be expectec sooner or later. Some people, and by growing number, feel they have a right for revenge, for payback at the police. And if this sentiment spreads, in a country as weapon-saturated as the US, then the problems have just begun.

Yeah Im sure, thats a relatively passive form of 'crazy' Cat, even if the second guy is clearly delusional. (While the other two are pretty average.) Still, not the same a dehumanizing another group and celebrating acts of violence against them, that is past the point of no return. |

He will talk about herd mentality, viruses magically disappearing and vaccines magically materializing.
