Let's make law enforcement at any level here (state, Fed, etc.) keep the drones way from US soil. It's already obscene how we're killing too many overseas with them. Again as said earlier, no more weapons of war toys for our police.

They killed one suspect by robot-delivered bomb. Jesus. We are in the future. Am I the only one bothered by this technology existing within the arsenal of a police force? Nope. Many, many people are. SZ

Go Watch Jared Wyand twitter acct. footage shows agitators dancing and mocking on the graves of the police officers. In a population of 38 million, do I believe that it will be easy to find 50 that are sociopaths who salivate in the wanton slaughter of innocent people that have nothing to do with the problem they are actually upset about? Well, if I walk in the door of Fox News, I will easily find that many when the problem is Islamic Terrorists or even the black victims of police brutality and there ain't 38 million people in that office. So yeah, I imagine I can find those people on Twitter pretty easily. They were dancing in the street just minutes later on the same street where they just slaughter police officers and you don't think that is a problem or its Fox's problem to find it on twitter. Holy cow.

No ability to disconnect your emotional side from your rational side and let the facts run through the logic center and come up with something that sounds less than hysterical babble. I don't know if it's only a GOP batshit issue or if they've made a movement out of talking everything stupid to 11. I eventually matured out of that preteen thinking. Once I got an education and started thinking. It's sad to find 60 year olds thinking like barely pubescent kids.

A notoriously wrong pull shit out of ass moron with a website. I don't find it at all surprising that Kevin goes to the absolutely dumbest source on the internet to get his information. He's the one who came here and made the statement (from Mr dumb moron himself) that the Uber driver killer was a progressive because that was stated on the guys Facebook. When it was a list of current/prior employers as in progressive insurance. THAT is the Kevin we're talking about.

Kinda like the video of the Glenn Beck rally a while back showing a massive crowd when it was from a completely different event and not related to the more humbling gathering of morons at the height of Glenn Becks career. I don't think Fox News ever apologized for that.

Were you watching live coverage, or just trolling your rightwing Twitter feed? Because clearly you weren't watching what was happening in Dallas. No one was dancing. No one was cheering. People were running, screaming, crying, trying to find safety or just get the hell out. They were also trying to help fallen officers or trying to comfort grieving one. Jesus God, you are a reprehensible toad. Get your head out of Alex Jones' ass. You'll see the world a lot more clearly.

Sick of Police Shootings? America Asked for Them Alton Sterling and Philando Castile are just two more lives lost to a police state that we, the privileged and secure, wanted Yes, there are cops who are sadists, armored up like kevlar beetles to crack skulls outside bodegas and unload a full magazines at anything dark, tall, and 175 pounds; and yes, there are cops who see the opportunity to become the power arm for every Chamber of Commerce Buddy Garrity jerkoff. But there are racists and mean, small people in every job. More importantly, cops enforce mandates, not draft them. And what a mandate we gave them. From Nixon's racialized post-1960s backlash law-and-order politics, to the Democratic Party tacking so hard toward white resentment that 2016's "progressive" candidate talked about "superpredators" in the 1990s, both parties figured out just how much of a can't-lose proposition it was to call for more cops, harsher interdiction and zero tolerance, all while finding new drugs, new addicts and new terms for low-income criminals that broadcast one general image to voters: Bad black people. Add the fire sale of domestic tanks to local police, mandatory minimums and private prisons, and enough technocrats and blue-collar folk saw a virtuous cycle of profit and protection from an Other lurking in our midst. Even if we're not conscious of it on a national level, we reinforce it time and again on a local one. Just look at Nextdoor, a social media site that lets you complain to people in your immediate neighborhood. Instead of a community message board, it often becomes a festival of white and middle-class narcissism and paranoia – petty grudges and dog-whistling anxieties from commenters for whom life is an Odyssey of minor inconveniences escalating toward apocalypse – like a microcosm of everything unbearable about America. Yet we don’t want our own infractions acknowledged. If we complain to the cops, over and over, about kids from other neighborhoods parking on the corners and talking on Friday nights, they send more cars to patrol the streets. Then a week later, there’s a chorus of rage and lamentations about the dozens of citations left on the windshields of neighbors who parallel park too close to stop signs or against the flow of traffic. We want all our privileges granted and our burdens lifted, shunted to some other neighborhood We Don't Want To Know. Strangers come from there; theft comes from there; harassment comes from there, and all of it can go back. While our desires for ourselves and neighbors are understandable, our indifference to their effects on others is not. In a local political world where the squeaky wheel gets the grease — where the squeaky wheel is generally defined as simply "anyone who shows up" — what's heard is our inevitable outrage when something bad happens close to us and our demands that the offenders be locked up in whatever passes for a ghetto wherever we live. When the poor or minority citizens we target complain, we point to the high arrest rates where they live and blame not the policing we rain down on those neighborhoods, but the people who live in them. (Assholes among us point to how much we pay in property taxes therefore our concerns should take precedent.) We do not ask ourselves how much a shock-and-awe of arrest warrants would pulverize our families if all our kids who got high and fucked around and all our dads who cracked open tallboys on the drive home from work got pulled over and hassled half as much as the "wrong” sorts of people in the wrong sorts of neighborhoods.

Why It's Time to Repeal the Second Amendment "[It] needs to be repealed because it is outdated, a threat to liberty and a suicide pact," says constitutional law professor I teach the Constitution for a living. I revere the document when it is used to further social justice and make our country a more inclusive one. I admire the Founders for establishing a representative democracy that has survived for over two centuries. Sidebar AR-15, Orlando, shooting, Everything You Need To Know Everything You Need to Know About the AR-15 Used in Orlando » But sometimes we just have to acknowledge that the Founders and the Constitution are wrong. This is one of those times. We need to say loud and clear: The Second Amendment must be repealed. As much as we have a culture of reverence for the founding generation, it's important to understand that they got it wrong — and got it wrong often. Unfortunately, in many instances, they enshrined those faults in the Constitution. For instance, most people don't know it now, but under the original document, Mitt Romney would be serving as President Obama's vice president right now because he was the runner-up in the last presidential election. That part of the Constitution was fixed by the Twelfth Amendment, which set up the system we currently have of the president and vice president running for office together. Much more profoundly, the Framers and the Constitution were wildly wrong on race. They enshrined slavery into the Constitution in multiple ways, including taking the extreme step of prohibiting the Constitution from being amended to stop the slave trade in the country's first 20 years. They also blatantly wrote racism into the Constitution by counting slaves as only 3/5 of a person for purposes of Congressional representation. It took a bloody civil war to fix these constitutional flaws (and then another 150 years, and counting, to try to fix the societal consequences of them). There are others flaws that have been fixed (such as about voting and Presidential succession), and still other flaws that have not yet been fixed (such as about equal rights for women and land-based representation in the Senate), but the point is the same — there is absolutely nothing permanently sacrosanct about the Founders and the Constitution. They were deeply flawed people, it was and is a flawed document, and when we think about how to make our country a more perfect union, we must operate with those principles in mind. In the face of yet another mass shooting, now is the time to acknowledge a profound but obvious truth – the Second Amendment is wrong for this country and needs to be jettisoned. We can do that through a Constitutional amendment. It's been done before (when the Twenty-First Amendment repealed prohibition in the Eighteenth), and it must be done now.

Its does it provide any indiction as to the reason the people are gathered there. What reason do you think it was? Good grief! There you go again playing the race card to make your point. The video speaks for itself, no beliefs needed.

If you hear shots fired, do you think you wait to see that its the police that got shot and start dancing? No, you run the fuck away. And guess what: THAT'S WHAT THEY DID did you watch the twitter feed on it,because it didn't show them running for cover. Jared Wyand @twitter .com The first thing I do when I hear gunfire is check my twitter feed! You make no sense whatsoever.

Nope. Many, many people are. SZ So don't bring it in to save more people from getting killed? God bless that technology. Any technology that enables the killing of suspects but not the capturing of suspects is inherently wrong. If your duty is to serve and protect, you are doing neither when you have tools that are designed to strengthen your ability to kill, you are moving away from service and away from protection and towards enforce and execute.

If your duty is to serve and protect, you are doing neither when you have tools that are designed to strengthen your ability to kill, you are moving away from service and away from protection and towards enforce and execute. But you are protecting the public from further harm. No different from shooting someone dead if he's actively harming or threatening to harm others. Bullets or a bomb - is there really a difference?

BLM sympathizers took to twitter; '' '' shout out to them shooter!! rapping pig in blankets'' '' f@ck yes!! After all these shootings its nice to see someone taking some action against these f-ing pigs!!'' www.inforwars. com Please think about this next time you sympathize with the BLM groups.
