That is not going to get fixed playing us vs them.

Cops shoot and kill 1000 people a year (documented statistic). Given the level of stress involved in those situations I assume at the very least 5% error. That is 50 innocent people killed every year. Since 2007 only 35 cops have been convicted of a bad shooting. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with Americans fighting with each other rather than their government.

If you want to call me liberal for not being sucked into a false dichotomy... That is fine by me, the liberals call me Alt-Right for the same reason. I am comfortable on my island of clarity and peace.

Its like watching two kids fight over an ice cream while a rabid dog licks the cone clean.

I think you truly believe this. Unfortunately, in reality people are being called racist and told to stfu for saying don't kneel for the flag. Figure out a different protest. I'm qith you, I'm on your side but this one action I'm not okay with. The reply F you racist. Kneel before Zod.

Its a joke, there's nothing to learn from listening to people who lie.

People have been calling each other things for centuries, I was just called liberal believe it or not.

Truth be told, I am as happy to be called liberal as you are seeing someone kneel for the national anthem. Yet here we are, still speaking civilly and you somehow rethought that statement without me telling you to go %&^K your self.

Cooler heads have prevailed?
