Southern Christian Whites cause a lot of problems for you in the past or something?


They've caused a lot of problems for the entire country and world throughout all of recent history, but other than that, they're fine.

LOL LOL LOL They just changed the freaking name of the cops that are patrolling there! So its a Camden County Police officer instead of a Camden City police officer! And the Camden County police officers apparently only patrol in the CITY of Camden!

So Ed, if you said Camden replaced a corrupt police department with a less corrupt police department, then we could at least not laugh at your post....

I notice SOOPOO and ask myself, “Is this the right thread?” It’s not.

Kentucky Governor announces plan to provide every black person in Kentucky with free health care

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/501811-kentucky-governor-commits-to-providing-health-coverage-for-100-percent


My thoughts:

1--Serious Equal Protection issues under the Constitution;

2--How will they determine who is "black"? (in 2020, can't anyone self-identify as "black"?) Will they do a DNA test on anyone claiming to be "black" to determine if their lineage goes back to Africa? What if you are only 1% black...? 25%...? Will there be a modified "3/5ths compromise (meaning you have to be 3/5ths "black" to be covered by the free medical care?; and

3--This will, ultimately, do damage to race relations

It’d be better to just give everyone free healthcare.

One of the answers to where the money should go when the police are de-funded is to send social workers to handle domestic violence calls.
Those are some of the most consistently dangerous calls police take.
.


I knew a few cops and they
hated those calls and they
got a lot of them. You never
know what some drunk woman
will do. Grab a knife and
stab you with it. On Live PD I
often turn the sound down
when it's a domestic fight,
who needs to hear that crap.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Not that I am for that, but it would be a lot less discriminatory to do it that way.

Discrimination does not cure discrimination...people need real cures not the same old Vodoo solutions...
