The burden of proof lies on you.  Where is your data?  Black people are more likely to be stuck and killed my lightning than be killed by police.  Police are 18.4x more likely to be shot and killed by a black person than the other way around when counting unarmed people.  You are pushing racist rhetoric.  Insinuating that police officers target people based on race is an extremely racist idea itself.  Things do happen but it’s only a handful of times a year and police get held accountable.

DeSantis Blames Covid Season

Quote

“Despite any assertions to the contrary, COVID-19 ‘waves’ absolutely appear to be caused by still misunderstood seasonal patterns,” spokeswoman Taryn Fenske said in a statement.
“We reiterate that, at best, these measures have made a minimal impact, and may slightly delay, though certainly does not stop COVID-19,” she added, referring to “non-pharmaceutical interventions” such as masking.
But the three articles they shared contradicted that argument, with one saying “the spread of COVID-19 is largely shaped by several factors like population density, social distancing, international travel routes, school closures, event cancellations, mask mandates, and hygiene.”

It seems to me that DeSantis, like Trump, is most interested in creating a covid narrative that is good for his politics rather than having honest dialog about a dangerous novel virus that is killing his state residents.

Stats?  You don't even believe that Trump was twice impeached by the US Congress and removed from office by the American voters per the 2020 election.  

White supremacist are all about false stats and false information to lure people like you into their clutches and so are bad state actors.  

No, the real threat to our democracy is the repugnant hateful white supremacist and psycho, Trump and his whacked out followers.  Speaking of whom, I will state it again, Trump is NOT president!

Tell me when "Alt Right" extremists BOMB the United States Capital like Susan Rosenbeg of Domestic Terrorist Group BLM fame did in 1983.  I think BOMBING the capital is a little more serious than taking an unguided tour.  Sympathizing with the ALT LEFT terrorists shows the complete moral corruption of the left wing today.  Now in the Bureau of Land Management we have a woman who was known for her ecological terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s when she booby trapped trees to maim and kill loggers.  Biden has now appointed her!  But but Trump said mean things!! Biden just bowed down to the Taliban yesterday.  Donald "The Great Peacemaker" Trump who helped broker peace deals in both North Korea and Israel/Palestine would never do such a thing. 

Behind Susan Rosenberg and the roots of left-wing domestic extremism | Fox News

The police officer who personally escorted Rosenberg out of the Newark courthouse in 1985 after she was sentenced to 58 years for explosives possession said her affiliation with the group showed that the same domestic terrorism ideologies from 35 years ago still are percolating now.

"I was at first shocked to learn of (Rosenberg's new role), but on the other hand, I wasn't so shocked given that members of these same groups get into academia and still follow the same teachings and inspiration," retired NYPD Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik told Fox News. 

BIDEN DENOUNCES 'ALL ACTS OF VIOLENCE' AFTER ATTACKS ON TRUMP SUPPORTERS AT MAGA RALLY; PELOSI SILENT

Born in 1955 and raised on New York City's Upper West Side, Rosenberg fervently joined activist causes during high school, including the Black liberation movement and others rejecting "repressive" U.S. policies globally and domestically. 

Starting in the late 1970s, Rosenberg became involved in the far-left revolutionary terrorist outfit, May 19 Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which the FBI described as "openly advocating for the overthrow of the U.S. government through armed struggle and the use of violence."

According to officials at the time, the M19C0 gave support and resources to an adjunct of the Black Liberation Army (BLA), which the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium (TRAC) characterized as an "underground Black nationalist militant organization that operated from 1970 to 1981." As a splinter group of the Black Panther Party, it was known to have "carried out a series of bombings, murders, robberies and prison breaks."

She also was linked to the controversial Weather Underground Organization (WUO), founded in 1969 on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan, with a 1974 stated goal "to create a revolutionary party to overthrow American imperialism," according to the FBI, which labeled it a "domestic terrorist organization" when bombings began the following year.

"The left-wing extremist groups were predominantly Marxist in political thought," noted Kenneth Gray, a senior lecturer on criminal justice and forensic sciences at the University of New Haven. "They conducted robberies and hundreds of bombings throughout the U.S."

By the time she was 29, Rosenberg was on the FBI's Most Wanted List, suspected of being an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of the still FBI-wanted Joanne Chesimard, aka "Assata Shakur," a BLA member who was serving a life sentence for the murder of police troopers in New Jersey. Rosenberg was also wanted in connection to a 1981 Brink's robbery that claimed the lives of two police officers and one guard.

CANDACE OWENS: “Black people are DYING because of Black Lives Matter...” - Youtube

https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=cOCHqhvTOeI

So Ben Shapiro gave Candace Owens a chance to hawk her book.  Ben Shapiro is into ideology and ideology alone.  He's got his briefs all twisted over nothing.  BLM will rise or fall, regardless of what he says.  But, really, any nut can say whatever they want on Youtube so it lacks the checks and balances of journalism.  Ben Shapiro is intellectually gifted but has no EQ which makes him such an untrustworthy purveyor of truthiness.

The difficulty of policing has nothing to do with someone who slowly (9 minutes) snuffed the life out of George Floyd while the rest just watched.  No one is denying that the majority of officers do their jobs earnestly, but the psychological literature supports the fact that it is a job that attracts more than it's share of sociopaths.  It's up to the professionals to decide how to better find these people before they sign up for the job.  So stop with your hysterics about folks caught up with BLM for the moment.

If the video of Floyd's death didn't make something snap in your head, something is wrong with you.

What about the 47 people that BLM killed last year?  Do they not matter?  Chauvin was quickly charged and held accountable although he wasn’t given a fair trial.  A handful of incidents do not show any systemic issue.  
 

You need to look at the statistics and how often an “unarmed black man” is killed by police.  It just doesn’t happen very often and Floyd would still be alive today beating up pregnant women if he didn’t choose to use counterfeit money that day and get high on fentanyl.  

 

The fact is a white officer is 18.4x more likely to be killed by a black person in the line of duty than a police officer killing an unarmed black person.  In nursing I practice evidence based medicine and look at real statistics and data.  You terrorist sympathizers don’t seem to care about that philosophy and instead rely on sensationalism.  I pray you choose to practice your craft based on evidence and hopefully you don’t treat patients any different just because they are a police officer or a Caucasian.

Which article did you get that from and ask yourself, why did they do those things? 

You are obviously educated to some degree and maybe understand some psychology? Ask yourself what is your motivation? 

My motivation is, I have sisters and a mother and young nieces. I have employees who are Hispanic and black and amazing people ,who with limited education teach me how to be humble and grateful and considerate! I have gay friends and black friends and an amazing Indian brother in law, not sure about his wife, my sister ,who's a mean bully that exploits her sex to get away with murder because of my father's protection! 

I don't like misogynists and racists or bullies and don't trust insecure people who don't compete on an equal footing! Evolution rules and I appreciate competing because it makes me stronger! Everyone deserves the respect of each other without any reduction in any rights whatsoever!

So England had a mass shooting in Plymouth. I can tell you that heads will roll! They don't play around with guns there. My Scottish Grandad used to have a gun license to go hunting and some youngstas started a fight with him at a pub over a darts game and he smacked them around. They pulled his gun license for three years and it took him years to get it in the first place. You have to pull teeth, with the hoops you have to jump through. 

All my years spent there I never saw a gun, heard a gun shot or actually even ever heard a conversation about guns, except when they made fun about me, calling me Eastwood because they think America is the wild west. 

Guns really freak them out. You can almost see their brains freezing up when our mass shootings happens. Even the yobbos get freaked out.
