Shocking.

All these "career politicians" are on the same side at the end of the day. We pick sides, they fatten their wallet either way.

Very few come across to me as genuine and actually work FOR the American people.

Agree the top man cares. Do not believe the bottom man cares.

Same as prosecutors and defense attorneys. Pretend to take sides, take money and drink together once the day ends

What does that even mean? So what if he bought a third home?

[trixstar]

The fact a presidential candidate is calling to bring back stop-and-frisk let alone specifically to target black communities, is Onion-level funny

Basically every news article that is about police misconduct.

People like to leave out that no misconduct was found by the Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch led Justice Department investigation of the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown deaths, or that the Baltimore State Attorney Moseby charged six totally innocent officers based on her own racist beliefs in the Freddie Grey death. They're gonna win a huge early retirement off that one.

Yeah funny how people like to leave that out.

Hillary's goose is cooked for another week here after suggesting the Charlotte police shooting was "unbearable".

For the first time here, I think Trump might actually pull this off.

[quackhead]

Hillary in desperate mode??

“If you do know somebody who might be voting for Trump, stage an intervention,” Clinton pleaded with her remote audience. “Try to talk some sense into them. Lay out the facts. The facts are on our side, about what I’ve done versus what he’s done. Remember, friends don’t let friends vote for Trump.”

How is "unbearable" not an apt word? Regardless of justification, police killing citizens is sad and depressing. Are you happy when there's news of a justified shooting? Instead of being weary of yet another incident where somebody's life has ended, should you do a little fist-pump and say "Yay! Another dead person" or something?

It's sad. And the number of people that are right there in agreement with him is sad.

Someone forgot to post over 3,000 times when lives were taken in Chicago the last 8 years.
Or does it only matter when it's a cop that does the killing?

850 justifiable police homicides this year, I don't remember her tweeting out the names of each of those individuals calling it "unbearable".

Curious timing to start now, wouldn't you say? (At the time, she didn't know any details of the shooting and it was later realized the guy had a gun, not a book).

i think it matters more, sure. police officers are paid to protect and serve. civilians aren't.

I am always, always, always happy when there is a justified shooting. That means the good guy goes home to his family and the bad guy goes in the ground. That's a win for me. Always.
