  1. Ot is yet the police unions that protect these guys from being fired or punished have to be stopped. Cmon. Their bosses have no authority anyway.

    1. BLM = Black Supremacists …… and Antifa = Anarchy. Democrats are allowing racism to cause chaos and networks like MSNBC fuel the hatred.

    1. @Ash Roskell
      Normal people see what you are saying as UTTER NONSENSE.
      You aren’t convincing anybody. You have smacked your head a few too many times…

    2. Just nhee grows doing what they do.
      Hopefully more of them resist and fight the cops.i work at crematory and I’ll ” keep the light on for them,”

    3. @JJ24 James what about in the NBA where majority of players are black? Or in the hip hop industry where majority of musicians are black? Is it right for white people to feel discriminated against?

    1. I hope Racist Val Demings loses. Given that it’s Florida, she’s not going to do as well as you hope.

  2. As a Democrat that voted for Biden. I want you to push the criminal reform act as well. You can call it the George Floyd Should’ve Reform Bill.

    1. @millenniumman75 : Don’t worry, madam? Trump will be behind bars soon, with his enablers. Then crime will start dropping again 😉

  3. Obey the Law. Don’t do Drugs. Show a general amount of respect to Police, Firefighters and EMS workers. Don’t blame others for your problems. Work hard to earn the things you want. Stay in school. Don’t have children prior to marriage. If you do have children, being a parent should be your #1 priority always. Don’t waste your time envying rich people. Life is tough no matter what your skin color is, and it takes discipline to create a good life for yourself. Pray to God if you need extra help, keep doing the right thing even if he doesn’t answer you.

    1. BLM = Black Supremacists …… and Antifa = Anarchy. Democrats are allowing racism to cause chaos and networks like MSNBC fuel the hatred.

    2. And legislate. Get involved with your civic responsibilities and represent. Make sure you’re in dialogue with your local and National representatives and ensure that you are informed about what’s going on in your neighbourhood and your country. Take part and support your neighbours, whilst remembering who Jesus said your, “neighbours,” are. Don’t turn a blind eye to wrongdoing and don’t be afraid to speak truth to power, as you would to the powerless. You are your country and your country is you.

    3. @Ash Roskell he has a valid point tho. Most ppl are sick of the dem’s and media’s constant identify politics.

  4. I totally trust government officials to do the right thing, purely out of kindness of their hearts.

  5. only one party now! exercise the power the people gave you!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ moscow mitch congress kevin & rabid repubs shouldn’t get to hold Americans politically hostage

    1. By trying to prevent rising crime, they, “could care less about the rising crime rate”??? . . . Are you even on the right thread? . . . You can’t be THAT dumb? . . . Oh wait? Trump troll, right? 🤦‍♂️
