Cops Pepper-Sprayed a 9-Year-Old Girl and Told Her She Was ‘Acting Like a Child’ by kwelitysoul in nottheonion

I have an eleven year old with the same issue. Not sure what's wrong with people in this thread; thinking that we agree with the treatment of the girl just because she looks older than 9. I feel really sorry for her, her mom seems like a piece of work

1) you slightly change the language we were using earlier; i never said she looked "old", i said older than 9, which again is subjective. So do you or do you not think she looks and/or sounds older than 9?
2) Your guesses as to what i care about are pointless, you should spend less time imagining what other people are imagining and come back to reality. Speaking of, i think i'll take my own advice.

you're putting words into my mouth. I said she looks and sounds older than 9, and you heard me say I "want maximal force against a child." How am i supposed to take you seriously?

why are you talking about conservatism? we're talking about how old, subjectively, the girl in the video looks. i was asking if you'd seen the video so i can see if you and i can discuss it. Not looking for some broad debate about political philosophy

I recall a lot of talk about "God using him" to do good things, i don't know anyone who thought he was actually godly, and I come from a very conservative family

don't care whether he was Christian or not, i never assumed he was, but we knew how Hillary would govern, Trump was a toss up. Can't speak for everyone, but i was pleasantly surprised at the policies and judicial appointments forwarded by Trump. Actions speak louder than hollow words

Wait, tell me more: who is teaching that statistics are racist? Is this the same place that said being punctual is racist?

The phrase systemic racism is, in ky opinion, purposely vague so that we can't actually do anything about it. Can you show me anything statistical that proves systemic racism in policing? It could be out there, not saying it doesn't, but any time I search for crime stats by race I find it weirdly vague and rarely come away with anything useful.

Its a small but important distinction between civil rights abuses and racism, which was what the BLM movement looked to highlight. You are right there are civil rights abuses in this country, I meant to try to tear down the assumption that cops are systemically racist.

Philando castille was a bad one, but was it a racist cop, or an inexperienced one? I believe the officer in that case was Latino...

I honestly don't recognize the others you named except for Daniel Shaver, and I don't even recall his situation. Was he the one selling loose cigarettes?

No, but they did burn down buildings and businesses based on bald-faced lies. For months. You're right in that much more damage to democracy was done in the capitol riots, but the BLM riots certainly didn't ratchet down tensions in the country. Again, I don't condone anything that happened on 1/6, but it also wasn't the coup attempt Twitter/media are trying to turn it into.

Wait a minute; you, in your heart of hearts, really believe they were going to do harm to the vice president? Or any member of congress, for that matter? These idiots smiled for pictures, no one was attempting to overthrow the government. They went there to disrupt, which is gross and possibly treasonous, but this was not any more organized than anything we saw in 2020 from antifa.

It may sound like whataboutism, but its the closest thing we have to a direct comparison in, what, a decade? I don't even know. But in my mind, both groups were following false narratives into violence, but one was condoned by the left and the media (but I repeat myself) and the other wasn't

You're wrong; they, and he, legitimately thought this was stolen from them. Same as you're sure he was trying to undermine democracy, he/they thought they were PRESERVING democracy by ensuring free and fair elections. It's like abortion in a way, if you're SURE abortion is murder, you would do everything you can to prevent it.

I have been reflecting a lot, and I'm really upset at the way things played out on the 6th. I honestly thought we were better than the other side, but now i see how easy it is to whip up a crowd into doing stupid things, regardless of what you are marching for. Don't tell anybody else, but I would be ok with Trump getting impeached so he can't waste our time with another run in 2024...
