On the verge of a lockdown in the U.S. too. Broadway shows closed, talk of New Years Eve in Times Square being cancelled, restaurants closing, sport events cancelled.
Thinking ahead to the Winter Olympics in February.......will it be cancelled
Many years ago people gave an opinion on CS and someone might disagree with it but it didn't become people writing novels as their post. I don't read things like that. In fact lately I've been directing my attention to threads that I might have some input on or have some humor. And even then I think carefully if it's worth it to give an opinion in this environment.
I don't worry about those who bully me or like to argue for the sake of arguing. If someone bullies me that I care about then I put some credence in what they are saying.
Those who lash out at others are fighting within themselves with their own problems.
The subject is not about banning guns. It is about a cop who made a mistake thinking she was using her taser to stop someone from their tirade.
I find it hard to believe that this was the first time she attempted to use her taser in the 26 years she was a police officer. It's not as if she was alone in the attempt to arrest Wright. There were two other officers there. What went wrong?
Most cops are polite. Your idea of having only black cops in black neighborhoods wouldn't hold up because whether a cop is black or white he IS a cop and wants people to do as he asks. When a cop tells someone to do something it is in their best interest to do it.
