Protest WE WERE TOLD TO STOP PROTESTING the oppression of police taking lives of the people they are suppose to protect. AS WE WATCH many of you protest wearing a mask, because it made you feel oppressed. |

Hypocracy: the pretense of having virtues and moral principles

don't listen to sir steffi . i wonder though whether you are for or against wearing the masks during the protests ? i think it was a good thing because it protected the marchers somewhat .

There is nothing wrong with peacefully protesting, but as soon as the first punch was thrown, the first window was broken and the first item stolen, they went from protesters to rioters and looters, which equates to being nothing more than common criminals and need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

--Brionna Taylor was suspected of being in drug trafficking The Louisville Courier Journal took the trouble to fact check several claims about Breonna Taylor's death. They made the effort to check court documents, warrants, arrest details and the word of the US postal inspector. As for her alleged association with drug dealing they found: "Our rating: False Neither Taylor nor Kenneth Walker has any drug offenses on their records. Additionally, Taylor and Glover" (... Glover is the man the police were looking for who was arrested ten miles away... ) "maintained only a "passive" relationship"" The following is from the Courier Journal fact check: "Several social media posts have accused Taylor of living with a drug dealer, insinuating that is why police had targeted her place for a search warrant in their narcotics investigation. Taylor shared her apartment with her younger sister, Juniyah Palmer. Neither Taylor nor Palmer have any history of drug offenses. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, did not live in the apartment, according to the address listed on his arrest citation. He also has no history of drug offenses, and was not named in the search warrant. Sam Aguiar, an attorney for Taylor's family, said Taylor previously had dated Glover, one of the police's main suspects, two years earlier and that they maintained a "passive friendship." According to the affidavit detective Jaynes wrote for the search warrant, Glover used Taylor's apartment as his home address. Jaynes also wrote that he "verified through a U.S. postal inspector that Jamarcus Glover has been receiving packages" at Taylor's apartment. But Louisville's U.S. postal inspector, Tony Gooden, told WDRB News in May that a different agency (which he did not identify) had asked in January to look into whether Taylor's home was receiving suspicious mail. The office had concluded that the apartment was not, Gooden said. Our rating: False Neither Taylor nor Kenneth Walker has any drug offenses on their records. Additionally, Taylor and Glover maintained only a "passive" relationship, according to Aguiar." When it comes to the shooting itself, the following was reported from the court hearing that dismissed charges against Walker. "As soon as I cleared the threshold of the front door, I could see down the hallway,” Mattingly said. “Your mind works so quick in the situation it’s unreal. As soon as I cleared it, I’m faced about 20 feet away right down the hallway. There’s a bedroom door on the right. There’s a male and a female. The male is closest to the door, so he’s to my right. As I turn the doorway, he’s in a stretched out position with his hands with a gun. As soon as I clear, he fires. Boom. “It was almost like at a shooting range where two things flip at the same time. You got to shoot, no shoot. But I mean, they were like, shoulder-to-shoulder, and my mind is going, ‘This ain’t right. Something is off here,’ because all the doors I’ve made entry, I’ve never seen this. I hit this corner, and it goes ‘Boom!’ and as soon as the shot hit I could feel the heat in my leg. So I just returned fire, and I got four rounds off.” So there you have the scene: a man, with a gun, stood next to a woman who is an innocent bystander. He is clearly pointing a gun at a police man 20 feet away. In a later statement the policeman said he can recognise their faces. The result: the woman who has done nothing wrong except stand in the hallway of her home is shot 8 times. Over 20 shots are fired by police from close up. Not one hit the man who shot at them and clearly held the gun. It really doesn't matter what side of the political fence you are on. If that's what you want out of your police you have to be insane. Or a pinhead. Or both. You just don't want to be an innocent bystander, in your own home.

oh, my goodness, don't listen to a thing mr. steven and dawn says. he just likes to stir pots with his epithets, his insults and his debunked citations. everybody is a dimwit or a pinhead according to steverino. it's one thing to engage in civil discourse and debate. it's quite another to leave a trail of insults and venom. on the other hand, he's relatively harmless, once you realize he's just a slightly more erudite version of your boy, the honey badger, only he's far less amusing. (or as another steven famously wrote when confronted with a similar situation, he's "an imitation hitler but with littler charm.") steven and tenille, why do you hate america so much?

I am not a big user of social media but it promotes justice in many cases that otherwise would be steamrolled. Too bad it was no match for the huge Louisville steamroller. No justice, no confidence in elections and and no teamwork to fight a pandemic... Are America's best days behind it? *** and I won't be buying any Frito-Lay lay chips until I hear their workers are treated better... andy

I want to protest the March 14, 1891, New Orleans lynchings. They were the murders of 11 Italian Americans and immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana, by a mob for their alleged role in the murder of police chief David Hennessy after some of them had been acquitted at trial. It was the largest single mass lynching in American history. Most of the lynching victims accused in the murder had been rounded up and charged due to their Italian ethnicity.
