Most are good cops...

Yup.

The war on drugs in action.

What a waste of time and money.

Feeds the for profit private prison system. Bust people for drugs and use them as slave labor in the private prison system. It all really started to grow with when HW Bush was president.

Ironic, since he was the biggest drug smuggler of the 20th century.

[Seshmeister]

Yup.

That's not a meme it's a statement, I notice the word 'all' there to straw dog the argument.

There is an old argument in the US that if you make guns illegal only criminals will have guns. Here is an add-on to that, if you also made drugs legal you wouldn't have many criminals.

The clip at 26 seconds seems to show the protester deliberately stepping in front of the car to make it stop and the cop probably deliberately running her over so they can get away from the crowd surrounding the car.

That's certainly a possibility I considered when looking at the clip, at least in terms of the protestor deliberately stepping in front of the car, but the clip picks up the collision when the contact was made so I can't really tell if the protestor was intentionally blocking the police vehicle or not, or just trying to get out of the way of the vehicle and zigged instead of zagging. Also from the clip, I can't imagine how the driver of the police vehicle COULDN'T have seen the protestor when the vehicle made contact...but I have no idea how dark it was there, or what the driver saw...or why the driver reacted that way in terms of deliberate intent or not vs. the driver just panicking.

I mean, I'm not being coy about the incident as depicted in the clip in order to take a side with the police OR the protestors. I just think it's disingenuous from merely looking at this particular clip to draw a conclusion about anything beyond the vehicle (obviously) hit a protestor.

Oh Bush has a hell of a scheme going. Make money off the drugs and then make money off the prisons the government sends the people busted for drugs to. He makes money on both sides. Hell Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas was in on it because the drugs were being flown into Mena, Arkansas. In my opinion, Billy boy got the presidency as a thank you from Bush. See most people don't see the Clintons and the Bush family are two cheeks on the same butt.

Clinton comes across as a kind of lovable slightly naughty uncle these days but yeah these people are ruthless.

You don't often hear these days about the time that he killed a mentally subnormal lobotomised man to help get elected president. I know many people are pro capital punishment but this was cynical as fuck and in 2002 the Supreme Court stopped it happening again even in the most Republican state.


How the execution of a mentally ill black man delivered Bill Clinton into the Oval Office.

Meanwhile, back on topic...

[FORD]

Yeah, because nothing says slapstick comedy like mass murder (especially when done by racist inbreds)

[Nitro Express]

All this protesting is as fake as a $3 bill. Somebody cooked up Black Lives Matter and all this white privilege shit to get attention and to hopefully create some backlash from the other side. That's why they started attacking confederate monuments and that sort of thing. Hoping to trigger a response. It hasn't worked but it just goes to show you some schmucks with a lot of money are playing fun and games. So yeah you are going to hear lots of noise on college campuses and in areas controlled by community organizers but not see much anywhere else. Is it going to change anything? Not really. Not even worth paying attention to.

And the execution was something that went virtually uncommented upon at the time during the primaries by mainstream print and tv media.

Clinton was determined to make the voting public know he was tough on crime. He wasn't going to be painted as another Michael Dukakis. The prison staff on the whole were disgusted, because the prisoner was basically in what would be akin to a lobotomized state and had no idea what was going on when the execution was taking place.

Clinton was pretty feckless when it came to foreign affairs and was pretty feckless when it came to making good the liberal programs he spoke about in his campaigns. When it came to his professional advancement and personal pleasures, he WAS ruthless. Look at not only how he treated his wife, but how he treated the women he cheated on his wife with after the affairs were over: tells you a lot about the guy. Lovable really isn't the word, and naughty is too trivial a description.
