Quote:This is the last thing I'm worried about, which group politicians pander to over a stupid phrase.

 

How about we focus on the real issue, the profit prison system being funded by a corrupt government enforcing an unconstitutional prohibition of substances. End the unconstitutional prohibition on substances and for profit prison system and the whole problem is gone overnight. But that would just give more credence to the voices screaming the state is the problem to start with. 

Crazy brilliant.

 

Quote:The movement is about trying to raise one group of people up because they are supposedly treated unfairly by law enforcement officers.  The movement was founded because supposedly Michael Brown was "unjustly" killed.  It doesn't matter that he was a thug and the evidence proved that his death was justified.

Part of that sentence is wrong (it existed before the death of Michael Brown), and part of it is up for debate (what the evidence did or didn't prove).

 

I wish candidates would have said "all lives matter", but more because I didn't want their comments to become attack ad fodder and talking points for their GOP opponents, who will again use them to try and convince middle class America that Democrats don't care about them.
