Tragic. Happening in plain sight. "Oh, they're just working jobs that Americans don't want" - because government is so busy paying Americans to stay unemployed? In your city, look at about 10 housecleaning, landscape, drywall businesse - usually all cash businesses, FYI. Family run, immigrant or migrant families with many family members working for them that don't fall under the wage rules. They bid jobs at less than market rates, get more clients, other competitors go out of business due to losing clients, then immigrant/migrants expand, raise prices.

You can act the Socialist part in demanding a "living wage" while at the same time sending young Francis and Audra to intern at a shiny hedge fund. Gee, I wonder if that's how it happened with Hunter Biden?

In general, don't ever worry about people with that wealth level. There are so few of them in contrast to the reality of the country, the examples end up being ludicrous. Nothing you do is going to change the fact that their money makes money while on the way to deposit money in the bank. Increasing the size of government, creating a class of Government Rust Fund minimum wage babies, isn't the answer. Forcing businesses to hire based on skin color or gender or sexual interest but to enforce other laws that make sure they aren't making hiring decisions based on skin color or gender or sexual interest just isn't the path ahead.

The point isn't to worry about the Ruling Class, but to point out that the rules don't affect them. And should anything they do be illegal--see Hunter Biden for details--it's swept under the rug by the media and the government, who is controlled by and beholden to the Ruling Class.

The funny point is that their rally cry for a "fair living wage" is meaningless to them, and all but guarantees pain and economic hardship for the poor dumb bastards who believe them. It's like voting for Biden and then getting laid off from your union steel or pipe-fitting job, all while watching your gas bill double within months.

The far majority, 98%, of these situations escalate due to simple non-compliance or combative behavior.

TOTALLY overblown by the cop. Also totally expected for a perp to gaslight an ATF agent at the door. Boy, he must have been laughing through the window at the whole spectacle.

The most telling thing--how the cop acted AFTER he found out this guy was ATF....the same. Total douche canoe.

i thought it was a perfect example of how police aren't racist and of how they don't follow their own rules

I can't fathom why the cop pulled his gun.

It makes perfect sense if someone is impersonating a police officer. High probability of them being armed if they look like a cop.

I'm watching Trans Jenner on NewsMax and it struck me that this needed to happen to further the agenda. By having conservatives embrace a transjenner person because they're supposedly (or actually) conservative, it furthers the cause that transgenderism isn't a fabricated condition to justify abnormal behavior. I don't trust either side.

He was suspected of breaking into a house, he had a gun, he wasn't following commands, he was hysterical & combative, and he resisted arrest. Cops were totally overblown.

The ATF agent literally said "I'm hyperventilating, I have a heart condition, my wife's pregnant.... Please... Sir..."

he might of well had said "My name is George Floyd, I just swallowed a bunch of drugs...I cant Breeaaaffff"

You sound like BLM right now.

Due to "systematic racism," black people can't be terrorists.

Can anyone justify to me why we would send any taxpayer money to China for any reason?? Whether for virus research or electric vehicle infrastructure?

No, because we aren't anti American morons.

The goal with the 2nd A is to be OK with EVERYONE having guns. If that's the case, it's unrealistic for every handicapped grandma and suspected speeder to kiss the ground every time a cop pulls them over. Cops have been trained in how to defuse situations, and the training works. After training, "suicide by cop" goes down and confrontations go down. The cop set the stage on this one.

I just read that Hunter Biden's capital firm helped fund research at the Wuhan lab. No, really.
