People on the other side are making literally the exact opposite argument, that dems want chaos and protestors being shot so they can villainize ICE and Trump and stop immigration enforcement. 

Both sides saying the other side wants this is probably a big part of why we have this, but hilarious to hear both sides saying the same thing with such confidence.

Not too many of the people terrorized by the gestapo got together to go chase the gestapo around while they were doing gestapo things as part of their weekend entertainment.

truck, you’re generally pretty reasonable and perhaps you’re just playing devil’s advocate here and I’m just not picking up on it, but your victim blaming rings like blaming a woman for getting raped on her wearing a miniskirt or going out in public and being too attractive.

I think there's some nuance being missed here. I'm not absolving the shooter of anything.

Is it blaming the rape victim if before dropping my daughters off at college I tell them their chance of being raped goes up a great deal if they get hammered at a frat party they got invited to by a guy they just met?

To me it's just data. Use it to your benefit. Right and wrong and exercising rights and all of that is a separate discussion. There's certainly far more to say about rape on college campus. Informing my daughters about the data doesn't prevent action in any other area, I just don't want my daughters to get raped. 

Using the example of your daughters, if one of them does go to a party and gets forcibly raped are you going to look her in the eye and tell her that she’s at least equally at fault?  Be honest. 

No.  You’re going to point out, correctly, that the rapist committed the horrible act and is THE responsible party for the rape.

You are an exceptionally ignorant individual. He was directing traffic and helping an innocent woman who was shoved to the ground by an ICE agent. The ICE agents then violated his 1st, 2nd and 4th amendment rights, then murdered him after he was unarmed. 

I know none of that will resonate with you at all. I’ll pray for you though. I’m certain life is extremely difficult for you. 

Come on man.... he was directing traffic as he was standing in the street blocking it so he could get a better angle to record.... after the officer pushed the lady he approached the officer and put his hands on him..... you don't get to just call that "helping an innocent woman" and pretend like he was helping an old lady across the street and that's all there is to it. 

The case against the officer is going to be strong enough without having to deny the obvious that's on video from every angle. Just makes it impossible to even start a conversation when you can't admit the smallest of things that don't fit your preferred story.

It's not a percentage pie that has to be divided up. I'm not talking about it in a zero sum game legal sense. 

The rapist or shooter being 100% responsible does not mean all others involved behaved flawlessly. This natural tendency to ignore all other factors once we decide on THE responsible party isn't doing anyone any good and does not reflect reality. Nothing happens in a vacuum. 

And to answer your question, no, of course I wouldn't say that to my daughter. That would be cruel. But my not saying it says nothing about the truth of the situation. Finding something distasteful, abhorrent, cruel, whatever you want to call it, has nothing to do with whether the statement is true or false.

Same efficiency as Amazon? Because Amazon puts something like a single clutch lever in a box that could fit three hundred of them, so they're saying these people will have a ton of room...?

I see that America has become a laughing stock under Trump, instead of the trustworthy partner. Trump talks without knowledge, from NATO soldiers to Greenland, Iceland oh Iceland noh Greenland...

At the same time he gets played by a white supremacist (Stephen Miller), who uses ICE as his own militia. They don't even try to hide it with the clothes Bovino is wearing and the sounds they use on ICE adds and phrases like "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage". 

That Obama send millions of people back who where crossed for two minutes to a few hours is quite something else than hunting down people, going from door to door too incarcerate and deport people who live here for years just like Melania Trump. This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants but with white supremacist gunning for their goal!

If we go back to when there was the first outrage against ICE  for the current issues . It was the deporting of people without any type of due process. They rounded them up and shipped them out of the country to that scary movie like prison.  And there was the guy from MD. that was legally here and doing what he was supposed to do that was grabbed and deported without any sort of hearing to make sure they even had the right person. 

 That and how they disregarded a judge's order was  in my opinion ,what put ICE under the microscope they find themselves under now.   

 

ICE officers wearing plain clothing and masks , driving unmarked vehicles and breaking windows, breaking down doors without warrants. pulling over random people who look like they may be here illegally and harassing US citizens , etc.  started to get people watching them more and seeing things they did not agree with happening.   

 

In that video they showed uniformed agents that are easy to identify as law enforcement.  They grabbed the wrong person and released him and went and found the guy they were really after. They also talked about how everybody has the chance to go to court and have a hearing before being deported. They were going  for specific people.  They were very respectful of the people that were detained and they were not breaking windows and dragging them out of cars. They were acting like professionals.

 

 I went to look and see what some recent ICE videos show. And their Youtube page is full of FOX news clips  and recruitment videos .  With a handful of clips showing people getting detained.

Everything about it was better, absolutely. It will take concessions from both sides to get back there. If Trump offered to go back to exactly that tomorrow, liberals would not take the deal and stay away. They're committed to resisting all immigration enforcement if a republican is in office and just not doing it at all when they're in control. Trump obviously isn't going to make the offer to go back either. Both sides suck. 

Yah both sides do suck. And are not really acting in the best interest of the people who elected them. 

 Democrats had realized they screwed up on the border and tried to pass legislation  to start fixing it in Bidens 3rd year. Trump got enough Republicans to vote against it so that HE could be the tough on boarders guy and get the credit for it.   If it was really all about the safety of the american people he would not have stopped the law from passing. 

 

 Also at this point I wouldn't trust the word of the current people that are running ICE after the statements they have put out on these past couple shootings.  So I could understand why Democrats would be hesitant to do anything. 

 

I think that there are more people that are fed-up with the lack of working together and getting things done that is happening so I hope that is enough to kickstart some sort of working together sometime soon. The division only makes us weaker as a country. Republicans and Democrats  shouldn't talk about each other as being enemies .  They have more in common than they don't.  Like all of us on here. If we met at a local track and never talked about anything remotely political we would all get along well.  I hate that so many people are defining others on what they disagree on.

I watched a video and he was trying to assist the lady, he did get in-between the officer and her but was immediately engaged by multiple officers. He didn't appear to be fighting back, just getting the shit beat outta him and then shot like 10 times. It's a gang execution, nothing law enforcing about it. The fact that some of you are okay with the federal government executing American citizens on the streets wearing masks scares the shit out of me. Like I said before illegal immigration needs policed, but warrants are needed before anyone is arrested or you enter a home or vehicle. Schools and churches are off limits, and masked agents walking around in public is a no go.

Informing my daughters about the data doesn't prevent action in any other area, I just don't want my daughters to get raped. 

but you didn’t tell her before you dropped her off at college. You told her the data says stay home on the couch AFTER she was raped. And that she’s not part of the intelligent crowd. 

Your addiction to data is a symptom of the real problem. This dualistic world has been imbalanced to the masculine for ages now, especially in the west. All brain, little gut. All left brain, little right. 

When my bike is choppered out and I have no front end traction, doubling down by increasing the sag isn’t the solution. 

What is the solution? Rebalancing by moving toward the feminine. Getting out of the mind and into the body. Feel to heal. Getting out of a chronic stressed state (sympathetic) and into a the parasympathetic system.

Since you self identify as intelligent, I’ll let you decide who is helping us find more balance….a fit 37 year old male VA nurse who puts himself in harm’s way to protect women or a bunch of fat guys with masks and firearms shoving unarmed women to the ground and shooting at corpses. 

Ps. Your analogy about big bikes and little bikes is not a better fit. It ignores the premise of your argument, stay at home on the couch. 

Pps. Spurdo, your food looks phenomenal. Maybe consider putting down the Dr. Pepper. It’s affecting you. A pissed off body leads to idiotic thoughts.

Would be very easy for local politicians to invite the stand down by committing to cooperation going forward. They could say tell us who you want and we'l meet you at the state line. Would be a very easy win right now if they weren't so politically motivated to keep illegal immigrants around. They have no intention of doing that. They seem pretty content to stay dug in and let their own ruby ridge and Waco moments play out even if it costs them some bodies, and Trump and his genius leadership team are falling for it.

Just let us be honest, it is all about terrorizing blue-states, because they seem to be hunting down the voters databases.

This is a moment, that will turn out to be a crucial moment in the history of the USA. Will the democracy stands or will the mid-terms become the first rigged elections in the modern history in the USA... All because cheeto wants to keep full dictatorial control.

Might want to check the data on where most ICE activity takes place, because using the actual data and your statement, the conclusion would have to be that this is about illegal immigration and that red states are being targeted. 

what does the data say about each state’s number of illegals? 

Where is MN ranked on that list? 

Does it align with the data on where ICE ops are?

It is the 1930 Hugo Boss look 😅. But without jokes, I hope that the "central" of both parties find each other and can kick the right wing/white supremacist to the curb on the right and the extreme left ACAB thug out of the party and start doing politics like it should be.

Looking back on his first term, what will go down in history as the calm term before the volcano. I can probably find more than a few things that was good for the USA. One of those was to urge the NATO allies to bump up their investments in military defense. But in this second term I see a lot of fake propaganda, weird ways to lower prices (exp: import from eggs who are not suited for human consumption, but will be used in pasta, cookies, ... in the USA.) Also other grocery prices aren't going down like promised.

The America first mantra, has been left behind and the USA has bombed Iran, did their thing in Venezuela, send a threatment to a NATO ally. Is now trying to interfere in the mass protest in Iran...

If you're honest, you can only say he's a lose cannon, also all the A.I. slop he posts on social media to make his political competition look bad...

That also combined with the slow and weird ways of how the "Eppstein files" are getting handled by his DOJ. Any other president would've gotten into an impeachment process, but Trump seems and feels himself untouchable! What gives me the creeps thinking about fair mid-terms. He has already came away with so much, so why not with rigging the mid-terms in his favor?! Same with a third term! I don't think his health will allow it. But the fact that the acting president of the United States thinks about, going after an illegal third term is alarming.

You are an exceptionally ignorant individual. He was directing traffic and helping an innocent woman who was shoved to the ground by an ICE agent. The ICE agents then violated his 1st, 2nd and 4th amendment rights, then murdered him after he was unarmed. 

I know none of that will resonate with you at all. I’ll pray for you though. I’m certain life is extremely difficult for you.

He was directing traffic, he was helping an elderly lady, he was handing out ice cream cones, he was saving a puppy, was helping delivery a baby..so on and so on. 

Nope- he inserted himself into a federal enforcement operation…

You and I are able to post in here today because we didn’t/wouldnt do that..and for sure not with a loaded gun and extra clips..

Magazines Brad. Magazines. 
I always carry a spare magazine with a firearm. 

THIRTY MAGAZINE CLIPS!!! 

(plus, this is the wrong forum to complain about carrying, this ain't  the needlepoint forum lol)

Maybe things would have turned out differently if they would have….

truck, you’re generally pretty reasonable and perhaps you’re just playing devil’s advocate here and I’m just not picking up on it, but your victim blaming rings like blaming a woman for getting raped on her wearing a miniskirt or going out in public and being too attractive.

I think there's some nuance being missed here. I'm not absolving the shooter of anything.

Is it blaming the rape victim if before dropping my daughters off at college I tell them their chance of being raped goes up a great deal if they get hammered at a frat party they got invited to by a guy they just met?

To me it's just data. Use it to your benefit. Right and wrong and exercising rights and all of that is a separate discussion. There's certainly far more to say about rape on college campus. Informing my daughters about the data doesn't prevent action in any other area, I just don't want my daughters to get raped.

but you didn’t tell her before you dropped her off at college. You told her the data says stay home on the couch AFTER she was raped. And that she’s not part of the intelligent crowd. 

Your addiction to data is a symptom of the real problem. This dualistic world has been imbalanced to the masculine for ages now, especially in the west. All brain, little gut. All left brain, little right. 

When my bike is choppered out and I have no front end traction, doubling down by increasing the sag isn’t the solution. 

What is the solution? Rebalancing by moving toward the feminine. Getting out of the mind and into the body. Feel to heal. Getting out of a chronic stressed state (sympathetic) and into a the parasympathetic system.

Since you self identify as intelligent, I’ll let you decide who is helping us find more balance….a fit 37 year old male VA nurse who puts himself in harm’s way to protect women or a bunch of fat guys with masks and firearms shoving unarmed women to the ground and shooting at corpses. 

Ps. Your analogy about big bikes and little bikes is not a better fit. It ignores the premise of your argument, stay at home on the couch. 

Pps. Spurdo, your food looks phenomenal. Maybe consider putting down the Dr. Pepper. It’s affecting you. A pissed off body leads to idiotic thoughts.


 

You put an incredible amount of words in my mouth.

I reject your blame pie question just like I have each time it's been asked. There's no need or benefit to playing that game. 

Do you think the shooter acted because he took in too much data and analyzed it too much or do you think he just felt in his gut he should pull the trigger? Come on, you know the answer!

Come on man.... he was directing traffic as he was standing in the street blocking it so he could get a better angle to record.... after the officer pushed the lady he approached the officer and put his hands on him..... you don't get to just call that "helping an innocent woman" and pretend like he was helping an old lady across the street and that's all there is to it. 

The case against the officer is going to be strong enough without having to deny the obvious that's on video from every angle. Just makes it impossible to even start a conversation when you can't admit the smallest of things that don't fit your preferred story.

I watched a video and he was trying to assist the lady, he did get in-between the officer and her but was immediately engaged by multiple officers. He didn't appear to be fighting back, just getting the shit beat outta him and then shot like 10 times. It's a gang execution, nothing law enforcing about it. The fact that some of you are okay with the federal government executing American citizens on the streets wearing masks scares the shit out of me. Like I said before illegal immigration needs policed, but warrants are needed before anyone is arrested or you enter a home or vehicle. Schools and churches are off limits, and masked agents walking around in public is a no go.

Nobody is justifying what happened. Everyone needs to stop going to the extreme with this. This guy is going to go to prison. 

"he did get in-between the officer and her"

That's all you have to say. There's no "but" here, you can't do that. You don't get to "try to assist the lady" that police are trying to take into custody. We're seeing the same thing you're just having a hard time admitting what it was because the response was so out of proportion. Two wrongs. The second wrong doesn't make the first wrong right and it's OK to say that. That's not to say that they are equal in any other way or that anything that happened afterwards is OK or being condoned. Just like the officer can't justify the shoot based on anything that happened prior, you cannot ignore the dead guy's behavior because of what happened after.

Not sure how anyone can watch the videos and be ok with that.

 

This is still america, if the government starts going into community's and turning them upside down the people will fight back.  Its what Americans do.

Only this guy diddnt fight back.  He remained peaceful and was butchered in the street

I will not speculate on what was going on inside the shooter.


I do know that we have programs running in our brain that are not consciously chosen, some natural and many intentionally installed, and that living in a chronic stressed state keeps one in survival mode. 


If one does not do the healing work, unlearning shit programs/installing better ones, and connecting with their gut, then they are on autopilot. 

And this is where we circle back around to training, or lack thereof.

An easily spooked fat boy with a gun, itchy trigger finger, and full of whatever hate makes someone unload on a corpse, with numbers on his side is someone that is not equipped to do the job he was hired to do (which imo is intentional). 

There is a reason we are bombarded with fear from TPTB.

Shoving a lady into a snowbank is taking her into custody? 

These guys are not police either.

Get your data right.

Using the example of your daughters, if one of them does go to a party and gets forcibly raped are you going to look her in the eye and tell her that she’s at least equally at fault?  Be honest. 

No.  You’re going to point out, correctly, that the rapist committed the horrible act and is THE responsible party for the rape.

It's not a percentage pie that has to be divided up. I'm not talking about it in a zero sum game legal sense. 

The rapist or shooter being 100% responsible does not mean all others involved behaved flawlessly. This natural tendency to ignore all other factors once we decide on THE responsible party isn't doing anyone any good and does not reflect reality. Nothing happens in a vacuum. 

And to answer your question, no, of course I wouldn't say that to my daughter. That would be cruel. But my not saying it says nothing about the truth of the situation. Finding something distasteful, abhorrent, cruel, whatever you want to call it, has nothing to do with whether the statement is true or false. 

You’re mixing risk awareness with responsibility and pretending they’re the same thing.  Mayne unintentionally.  

Yes, behavior affects exposure to risk. Everyone knows that.  Yes, nothing happens in a vacuum. Agreed.

But once violence happens, responsibility isn’t 'distributed', it lands on the person who did it.  But saying 'others didn’t behave flawlessly' after a rape or a shooting is just a softer way of shifting the framing away from the actor and onto the environment, the victim, the situation, the context, whatever.

And here’s a part you’re sidestepping.  If it would be cruel to say this to your daughter after she’s raped, why isn’t it cruel to say it about a man who was killed in Minneapolis?

Prevention logic isn't the same as blame logic.

Risk data is for before something happens.
Responsibility is for after it happens.

Those aren’t the same conversation, and pretending they are is how accountability gets blurred.
