   I'm not super stitious, but I am a little stitious.

2. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Wrong again baloney. When accounting for proportionality blacks commit more crime (and therefore encounter police more frequently) than non-blacks. From the FBI: African Americans are 13% of the U.S. population and commit: - 53% of the murders - 29% ...

3. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   The Washington Post compiled data on all the police killings in 2019. There were 1,003 people killed by police. The results are here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/police-shootings-2019/ 250 black people killed by police (14 ...

4. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

   TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

   Way to cherry pick a couple of sentences to fit your agenda. The focus of the paper was that there is no evidence that white officers shoot people of color at a higher frequency. They even said, "We find no evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic dis...

5. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

   TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

   Well maybe the liberal governor, mayors, city councils and police chiefs in California should change the policies there. Or maybe the people should stop voting for these do-nothing liberals who shout "racist" at everyone else but never do anything to...

6. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

   TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

   I like how you ignore the evidence presented and then type a bunch of names with no context. Just like in the other thread where you listed a bunch of names and I laid out the explanation for each. Here's the screenshot so everyone can see again how...

7. Evidence based study shows no systemic racism by police

   TomPaine posted a topic in Talk Politics

   We all love evidence-based practice right? Well the evidence the Wall Street Journal provides shows there is not a systemic targeting of black Americans. In fact, the evidence provided (links below) show that the number of shootings are less than exp...

8. Riots in Minneapolis

   TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

   "There are multiple instances of cops killing every race for literally no reason and walking away free. It's a police brutality issues, not a race issue." = 100% accurate. Check out this facebook group...literally hundreds of videos of police abusi...

9. Riots in Minneapolis

   TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

   - It's a little early, and disingenuous, to include George Floyd on that list. - Emmet Till wasn't killed by the police. He was killed by civilians. - Tamir Rice was carrying a replica gun and police responded to a person pointing a gun at passersby...

10. Riots in Minneapolis

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

    Minnesota is a deeply blue state (the last time the state voted red in a presidential election was 1972) and Minneapolis is a deep blue city, the last Republican mayor of Minneapolis was in 1973. The police chief is appointed by the mayor and the Min...

11. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in Talk Politics

    Check out this screenshot...for the third time now on this thread I will say that censorship is bad whether it comes from Trump, social media companies, the government or anywhere else. People should be able to put their thoughts into the marketplace...

12. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    TomPaine replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think events like what happened to George Floyd happen more than we know. We only see a fraction of them that happened to get recorded. A simple Google/Youtube search will show hundreds, if not thousands, of videos of police lying t...

    TomPaine replied to TomPaine's topic in Talk Politics

    Antifa is most definitely a violent far left group. Google what they did in Portland. There is video of them attacking and harassing elderly citizens who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_St...

14. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in Talk Politics

    Where did I say Trump was censored? I went back and looked at this thread and I never said that. I said censorship is bad whether it comes from trump or other places.

15. Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    TomPaine replied to sirI's topic in Talk Politics

    Trumps opinion was tagged with a "fact check" warning, not deleted. His opinion! While the leaders of Iran and North Korea are allowed to spew lies and propaganda with no fact-checking. How can you not see the issue there?!
