Another point.
9 months from now when the trial happens and the officer gets a slap on the wrist no one will care. |

Easy to say. Change on this scale is hard. Praying might help. Or not. I experienced dad’s belt one time. It’s a strong motivator. |

It's hard to prove someone's intent, although is can be done. I'm guessing the prosecutor thinks it is unlikely he will be able to prove intent, but easy to prove that the cop didn't really care much if the perp died, so third degree looks like a lay-up. Quote:

Most of the babies will never know their father, either due to the fact mother has no idea which guy she was banging is the dad or dad is dead or in prison. My upbringing was perfection compared to what these kids see. They have it engrained in then from an infant that to be successful is to have street cred. There is absolutely no value given to getting an education, being successful or escaping the hood. We can debate on another thread where this all started IMOJohnson's "war on poverty" and handouts to unmarried mothers, when black men were encouraged not to be in the home. Prior to that, single parent white families were more common than single parent black families. Until their "at home culture" changes, and what they value as a community makes an abrupt about face, I don't see things getting any better for them. Cannot count the times I wanted to take some of those kids home with me, before their home life destroyed their potential to become someone that would contribute to society. I know- personal accountability and all, but I have seen with my own eyes, these kids are beaten down and lose all sense of their potential, beginning in infancy. |

Always look at the root cause.
1. Individuals are the only ones responsible for their actions. Period. 2. What started this chain of events? Crime. An individual choice. To ignore that is to ignore the only problem that needs to be solved. Stop breaking the ****ing law. |

I came from a single parent, eventual physically abusive step father, trailer park childhood from 8 until 15. Left Dad's home at 17 after getting kicked out of Mom's house at 15 with a single bag to join the Army. No white privilege, no help from anyone. In fact the military still uses racial quotas for promotion and I have no doubt I was not promoted because of it. I earned this and will continue to do so because I choose to do so. All the time hood, bario, trailer park types make it out and succeed without "good" parenting. Hell my own father told me all the way up to the age of 30 I wasn't the "college" type. I am now in the middle of my Masters degree. Society needs to stop the boo hooing bullshit and recycling the narrative that youth of any color doesn't have a chance. |

As I lived/grew up in a peaceful racially mixed neighbor hood and in fact graduated from a deep in the ghetto predominately black high school mid 60s I know what I have seen and experienced. Many were married, had a husband living in the house, many went to school to actually learn, had jobs. Things were doing all right for the blacks then sure there was racism, (on both sides) but compared to today much better. (More recently after obunghole set back race relations decades, things went farther downhill fast!) Th antics of LBJ giving blacks just about ever phucking thing they wanted for votes and MLK running all over stirring things up were the straws that broke the camels back way back then! The Johnny come latelys can post all the bullshit they want I was there (age 74 now) and lived it! |

Statistically speaking, how many escape their chitty upbringing?? Just stating the facts, that parental and cultural input goes a LONG way. If you think environment has little to nothing to do with the choices they make, you are mistaken. I in no way am making an excuse for breaking the law or being a POS, just pointing out logic for how their entire culture has devolved to this point over the last 50 years. Indians built casinos and take lots of $$ from white folk, Asian communities have done well despite significant prejudices towards them, why has the black community not done the same and become the highest crime/incarceration #'s of all? Nature vs nurture? |

I don’t know about people making it out of the hood “all the time”. Wasn’t easy for you, was it. Lot of people choose easy. And end up dead before their time. Of course hood rats have a chance. A small one. How many people you grew up with live in that same trailer park. |

The Montucky state police have kept their eye on the one black person that lives in Montucky. He threatened to throw a rock through Bill and Edna's feed store in Deer Lodge Montucky in protest of George Floyd.
