    1. Kapernick should get the exact same chance to play in the NFL as anyone else, black or white, NO special ops, NO “give” him a spot

    2. A …How much money has Mr. Trump looted from the Treasury so far, I lost count? Trump supporters have been lining up with their hands out ever since he took office.

    3. @David Jimenez well I can say that his magic wand of job creation cost 2 trillion dollars in tax breaks and incentives for the wealthy and Corporate America. Looks like they created meaningless temporary, low wage jobs, to me. We can throw in the supposed billions of tarrif dollars, that we’re getting. Where are they using these supposed billions, surely not for the benefit of the American taxpayers. And yes the Trumptarian Cult Society Crusade is all about we want more (America First) and Fk everyone who doesn’t get enough. We can also throw in the fact that multi million dollar contracts to build the great wall, were given to specific contractors without a bidding process. It doesn’t take a genius to see who’s really benefiting from all the schemes. I will say my take-home pay went up about 30 bucks a week. In the real world those are crumbs in comparison to what the wealthy and Corporate America have gotten from Trump.

  1. You can take a man – train him to put on a badge- But unless they are Psychologically able to perform the job they become part of the problem

    1. Well it doesn’t make things any easier when you’ve been assaulted, concussed, and had a taser shot at you. Kinda a stressful situation when the adrenaline is pumping. Wouldn’t you agree?

    2. So ignorant !! What about the man who attacked that cop,that stole his weapon,that tried to shoot him with it ? Who trained him ?

    3. Elmosweed Every cop I’ve met at a social level in my 70+ years of life have had racist overtones.

    1. Roger that. He’s spent his whole life grifting off the poverty and violence liberal policies create in the Black communities.

  2. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tiding unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound”.. Isaiah 61:1 (Authorized King James Version)

    1. “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of rightousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”. Isaiah 61:3

    1. Lol he’s only worth 500k, how much do you think a jet costs? Checked again he’s worth 2 mill but even then…

  3. What we’re fighting now is pretty simple. This is a spiritual war we are in, and there are 2 very distinct mentalities at war today. You have the narcasistic, sociopathic,apathetic and heartless mentalities vs the empathetic, companionate, honorable and integral mentalities. You can throw in race and color if you want too, but that’s not what we’re fighting. It’s simply a spiritual war, or psychological war if you prefer, and it’s getting worse everyday.

  4. Yes, the violence has to be uprooted from the heart, mind and spirit of “wickedness.” That means the efforts need to be made in not only in Congress, in the courtrooms & police departments, but also in all churches, in all media channels, in schools of all levels …

    1. No! That means you need to open up the bible and study the words of GOD!
      Y’ALL NEED TO GET A GRIP!

  5. Is he referencing the Three-figths Compromise were slaves were not fully counted as part of population requirements for congressional representation?

    I am not sure it matters how slaves were counted because slave owners were not representing their best interests.

  6. (1)Eliminate or completely reform the police unions like they did in Camden, NJ.

    (2)Restrict traffic stops/license plate look ups to BOLOs and reckless driving.

    (3)Eliminate or completely reform Qualified Immunity.

    (4)Create licenses for police that can be revoked so they can’t be hired by another town if fired. A liability in my town is a liability in your town.

    (5)Lengthen screening/training for police to minimize lethal force scenarios. Filter out white-extremists Barbers currently require more qualification hours than police.

    (6)Over half of US students are minorities, make state and local police departments the same.

    (7)Make cops carry their own liability insurance like contractors, painters, plumbers etc. The insurance companies will do better mental health screenings. If cops has too many complaints he will become uninsurable therefor unemployable. If they actually had something to lose, maybe they would learn to control their anger issues. Also, the billions in settlements that us taxpayers have to pay should come directly from the police pension fund. If “Good” cops were going to lose money for bad cops, maybe they would finally police other cops.

  7. In my opinion, racial issues are more rooted in the educational system than the psychology of a person. Because, think about it, nobody is born a racist, those things have to come from somewhere, either our environment or our educational institutions themselves.

  8. Sharpton still a leader in a “movement” that emphasizes who is right rather than what is right. So much for diversity of thought.
