  1. Some people like to shrug it off as just a few bad apples--conveniently leaving off the remainder of the proverb. It is a few bad apples... spoils the whole damn bunch.

  2. Enough is enough, and the injustice is far too much, for far too long!

  3. Unless or until all citizens are free from hate, secure in their civil- and human-rights, then none of us are. This maxim extends beyond national borders, as well; it is true at all levels of human society, from local to global. So, not only is it the ethical, moral, and humanitarian standard to be achieved--and the only logical approach to human progress and development--it is also in EVERY person's own direct self-interest!

  4. Only when law enforcement demonstrates nationally that it is capable of adequately policing and holding itself accountable can the public have the security and confidence they are there to PROTECT and serve ALL citizens. We're sick of the carnage and misery--we're not waiting, anymore, police, prosecutors, judges, mayors, councils, legislators, governors, Congress, Mr. President, SCOTUS. This is really a question of whether or not America wants to be a democracy, or something less.

  5. Cops never lie...they always tell the truth about the innocents they brutalize and murder, the bribes they take! That's why innocents get killed and locked up, while the criminal cops walk free to prey upon the public they're supposed to "protect" and "serve!"

  7. GOP been keeping the embers of hate burning for decades, creating a tinder box, preparing for a President Nero to pour the gasoline.

  9. All these freakin' shriekin' dog whistles, can't figure out which is the dog, which is the tail. Is it Toxic Trump, the GOP, or is it fascist Faux News and the rest of the loony right-wing media? Or, is it all just the same rabid bitch?

  10. To dismiss police abuses as merely "a few bad apples" fatally ignores the ongoing toxic law enforcement culture that spoils them rotten and allows them to flourish--creating, perpetuating and exacerbating corruption and abuses.

  11. Wasn't that creepy VP "Pointless" Pence precious little performance just priceless (worthless)? Sorry, Charles Barkley, some things are just more important than professional sports! Surprising that you still don't understand that by now, after everything that has happened.
