So OLB, I guess you're saying you are okay with the amount of police violence there is? It's acceptable for them to commit murder and get away with it?
I'm curious where your threshold is. How many murders and other acts of brutality are okay? When does it become a problem on your radar?
What if one of your loved ones was murdered by a police officer? Would that be stepping over the line?

If ONE of those deaths had a cop involved - you would see looting and pillaging - er - I mean "protests" by now....
Well, there's always an outrage how there should be strict gun control laws enforced. Would you be up to stricter gun control laws?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What "A- for severity of gun laws - ranking it the 8th strictest in the nation" that's not such big deal in a country where gun laws are so loose. Obviously lots of people still have too much guns.

No I am not saying that - and it's shitty of you to suggest I am.
What are you saying, then?
It's obvious to most everybody that we have a problem here. Police routinely murder people and get away with it. Yet you defend the status quo. What are you trying to tell us?
