  1. We are a diverse country with diverse opinions and as long as we listen to other! Really! Carson is a hypocrite! Ben Carson says the United States should not elect a Muslim president. "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." Did you reserve your judgment, Carson, did you respect the diverse opinion and our diverse country?! Carson is a fake Christian and a phony believer!

  2. Let's make it clear that a majority of Americans oppose the militarization of police forces, and do not want to see the U.S. military used to police American cities. Warmongers in USA have spent two decades turning the whole world into a battlefield. Now it includes our own cities! American People are waking up and connecting the dots! The “knee-on-neck” technique is nothing new, the same brutality and technique are used aboard on civilians in Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran, and Palestine! Lack of accountability is despicable! Well you better listen my sister's and brothers, 'Cause if you do you can hear There are voices still calling across the years. And they're all crying across the ocean, And they're cryin across the land, And they will till we all come to understand. None of us are free! None of us are free, if one of us are chained. And there are people still in darkness, and they just can't see the light. If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right. We got try to feel for each other, let our brother's know that we care. Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear. It's a simple truth we all need,

  3. Police brutality are not just rooted in structural racism. It's also about the militarization of all things American. Can one pursue global military domination & view the world solely through a military lens without it impacting one's society at home? If one treats interaction between states as the realm of coercion, threats & domination, where one has to FORCE everyone else's will to one's own, will one really be able to treat one's citizens differently and offer them respect? If one endlessly wages war abroad, will one really be able to wage peace at home? If one sends one's army to do policing abroad, how does one prevent the police from acting like the military at home? As America sees monsters in every corner, the line between the police & the military - how they're taught to think, the language they use - becomes increasingly blurry.

  4. If the police see themselves as soldiers, if they see American streets as the battlefield, then the American people have become the enemy. Figuratively and literally, our foreign wars have come home.
