  1. I don't know why all the negativity. She seems like a nice lady who stands up for what she believes in. If I was there I would vote for her. She certainly wouldn't be pushing religion upon others in my opinion.

  2. If Camden was a country it would probably be top10 and definitely top20 homicide rate in the world. If that's the standard you want to set anything is possible.

  3. The surprising thing if true is 3 deaths because not likely party goers are 65+ .

  4. I think the spraying girl might have been Asian. So that's interesting.

  5. We will find out eventually. I didn't trust China at first however even if their numbers are a bit out they are not way out. You could say the same about Australia look at our per capita infections versus US and we both demographically similar so Australia must be lying and I can assure you thats not the case.

  6. They probably won't, they care more about the delivery than you may think. Some dead person in an unknown location with drugs on them wouldn't be helpful. However Coronavirus has entered the Whitehouse and it's just as functional as before.

  7. No it said use of force has been reviewed 79 times, so looked into 79 times. Maybe he works in a crime ridden area and carries out lots of arrests, we really know nothing. Now people saying officers are guilty until proven innocent. Him shoving someone who is kneeling is hardly a felony. Ok probably he shouldn't have done that, however if that protestor shouted abuse towards him it's understandable.

  8. Hey that's a bit offensive. Orang means man , Utan means forest. I think the people of Malaysia and Indonesia consider those primates to be highly developed.

  9. Am I the only one confused. Aren't these 2 incidents in different states and possibly different levels of police (state/local authority) . If I am wrong correct me and tell me how they are related.

  10. They already have the power to search for you. All the app will do is make it much quicker. Here is list of countries using an app Taiwan , China, Australia, NZ , Singapore, South Korea, Thailand . Although I think it's too late for North America and Western Europe it can't do any harm. Please see infection and casualty rates of countries I listed.

  11. @Dean Clark Well as the advisor to Trump that's where Trump appears to have got most of his information. When Fauci realized that the US was slow to act he did acknowledge more lives could have been saved if earlier action was taken. Trump then diverged from Fauci at approximately that point in time. Trump's actions after the divergence have caused further harm in my opinion.

  14. I second that from Australia.

  15. It's worse than that. Having stand your ground laws with police can enter without notice ( knocking and identifying themselves) . The elected government officials in that state are literally acting in an insane manner.

  16. Those 4 girls are so sweet. I wish I could hug them .

  17. @James Caley yes he thought the US had it under control and they didn't and possibly it's not much worse than the flu. Fauci dropped the ball .

  18. Trump will be 74 soon I believe.

  19. Well if you think that way you had better get the Democrat voters out in force. At the moment the polls suggest that which ever party gets more voters to vote wins.

  20.  @zacharycraft2129  really ? And the occupants are entitled to shoot back under stand your ground laws. I suppose if you want police killed along with the occupants. Under stand your ground laws the police are probably innocent because they were legally entitled to be there. This is really wild west justice.

  21.  @rajanthakur696  why? I notice many police chiefs are black and that doesn't change anything. Some mayor's are black again that doesn't change anything. How about best person for the job at the time. Obama on average was good for US and a suitable choice. Trump has some good points but is too inflammatory and likes to cause division. So on that basis I think he is on average not the best choice.

  22. They haven't identified the stupid gene yet but one thing is clear this gene can appear in any racial group

  23. No evidence of that at this stage and the driver has an Arabic name. Let's just wait for the case to be heard. Sabry Nassar is the name of the accused. Has also been involved in another road incident in Lakemba , the suburb with a major mosque in Western Sydney.

  24. There is one positive I can think of. The economy will boom. Think about it, the only city where drugs will be traded openly without fear of prosecution. It could diversify the community too with more Mexicans and Nigerians , maybe even Italians.

  25. That's a comment I start to reply to those advocating criminal behaviour. About a third of Americans don't vote.

  26. I am reading comments and they are a little crazy. The initial comment only says black people are also doing it and it's unacceptable. People are now trying to justify each race doing it because it's not a racial thing. Like really. I support the original comment nobody should be doing it.

  27.  amanda handscombe  Amanda please read her comment again without prejudice. The young lady has said nothing other than providing an informative comment. If you want ask her opinion on something and maybe she will answer you.

  28. As an Australian I can tell you we won't be letting North American or European s in any time soon. Some Asian countries will probably be ok in the medium term and New Zealand will open up possibly the same time Australia stops all internal border restrictions.

  29. I am observing from afar and truth is the US hasn't fully come to terms with it's colonial past let alone slavery. The estimated 50,000 convicts sent from Britain in the colonial days have just disappeared after an inaccurate speech or writing by Thomas Jefferson (fake news just after independence who would have imagined). The convicts were treated the same as the black slaves but in theory would get freedom after their 7 or 14 year sentence. Because of their class I would think their would be quite a few descendents of a combined heritage of black slave and white convict. Common sense says that these convicts when in private hands may not have ever got their freedom.

  30.  @VSchwarcz  Yes anyone entering Australia from anywhere has mandatory 14 days quarantine. But if we managed to travel overseas many countries will let us just walk on in. In practice it's very hard to get out of Australia unless you enter into a lease in another country saying you intend to stay there and obviously it's really hard to find a commercial flight to most countries from Australia.

  31. Really you do because otherwise they remain victims as well holding anger for the rest of their lives.

  32. I know what is being implied. First of all she is American. Second point not all people in Israel agree with their government. The moderates in both Israel and Palestine will prevail one day. It could be a long time but I believe it will happen. edit: a funny thing but actually it's not funny , in both Palestine and Israel it's far more safe than the US normally. During conflict that's not the case but look at the US currently.

  33. Police are being attacked violently also. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

  34. I don't think so, the European death tolls per capita are up to double that of the US as a whole. The US is probably less than half way through this and Trump will have to give a new death toll estimate and advise the populous yet again of the excellent job he has done.

  35. If it actually occurs there will be no official crime statistics, so on paper it'll be the safest city in the US.

  36.  @nurismail_  The main thing was actually the initial response. Malaysia never allowed it to get out of hand and tested and traced more in the beginning like many other countries in our region. The US has completely abandoned containment and only can do mitigation now. One thing that baffles me at the moment is why did governments in our region take it seriously and North America and Europe didn't in the beginning.

  37. Fair enough, what's your reasoning for Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia and Australia. Are we superhuman on this side of the planet or could it be possible reacting quick did the trick. But as noted by the NZ prime minister it's not over for any of us just so far we do well all with deaths below 10 per million.

  38.  @joshuaacosta5671  I have read a few articles. Several actions have been taken, a larger better equipped force is one of them even if less police in the area normally, stopping open drug markets on street corners, nocking down derelict buildings. Along with as you suggest non police actions. So better management in general. In Australia we have state police only and federal police for international type crimes generally. I do think that municipal police forces is not the way to go, because they are too small and too easily become corrupted and training will be a lower standard. So actually the number of police available seems to have gone up and were probably used when they clearing drug selling areas. If looking objectively it's better than before but still really bad.

  39. I hope people seeing this consider it carefully. The US is one of the least democratic countries of a high income country. This is by choice, the number of people who don't vote and then complain about the politicians get what they want and deserve.

  40.  @nanbuben.arastar  don't hold your breath, while it appears rates of infection have stabilized , it might be the case it just keeps going for another 6 months to a year at the current rate.

  41. How about the Bible it apparently suggests God will punish the sins of the parents for 3 or 4 generations. Maybe wait another hundred years. But what I have just pointed out is what many BLM supporters want, every white person to feel guilty even immigrants after slavery ended and when you think about it forgive the African slave traders who sold the slaves in the first place , noting that some descendents of these slave traders being more wealthy of course would have migrated to the US. A strange world we live in. So guilt is determined by skin colour and the guilt is intergenerational.

  42. Right wing racists would love it. People burning their own neighbourhoods down. An out of towner would not be leading this mob because going into unknown neighbourhoods might get you killed.

  43. I don't have a child but if I did I would say "son/daughter I hope you have learnt your lesson and don't attack police" as the first part of the video indicates this.

  44. There is one fundamental difference with Australia and US. It is bipartisan policy to ,after we discovered it's possible, contain the virus. With the US there is bipartisan agreement that all borders remain open and there policy is mitigation as in don't over flow hospitals. No jurisdiction anywhere in the world has contained the virus with open borders. If you have enough money and get a government permit to travel you can travel from Melbourne to New York , London or Paris and you will just walk through the airport as an Australian, no quarantine, nothing. But as you are aware come to Brisbane or Sydney from Melbourne without an exemption, it's 14 days mandatory government supervised quarantine partially at your cost. A big big difference.

  45. No because infection rates are so low. Australia has same approach and is slowly opening some years in most states.

  46. Disinfectant is poison designed to kill living cells. If it is breathed in it can't be healthy.

  47. The wording is correct, it doesn't say suddenly appeared yesterday or something. The holes did appear you can see them.
