Getting warmer....warmer....

You see, a sizeable portion of the population is apparently actually quite insane.

Oh, and welcome!

HARD FACT: Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect as compared to a white officer.

Stats for unarmed blacks shot by cops:

https://www.phillypolice.com/assets/directives/cops-w0753-pub.pdf

Page 32

Definition of OIS (Officer involved shooting) is on page 17

Definition of TPFs (threat perception failures) is on page 30

TPF of white officer against black suspect is 6.8

TPF of black officer against black suspect is 11.4

TPF of hispanic officer against black suspect is 16.7

Aka Hispanics and then black officers are more likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect. The claim that white officers are more likely to kill black suspects is complete bullshit. White cops are the least likely to kill unarmed blacks. (Stats for asian cops isn't available as it's negligible.)

Also even after adjusting for population:

https://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877

There is widespread concern about racial disparities in fatal officer-involved shootings and that these disparities reflect discrimination by White officers. Existing databases of fatal shootings lack information about officers, and past analytic approaches have made it difficult to assess the contributions of factors like crime. We create a comprehensive database of officers involved in fatal shootings during 2015 and predict victim race from civilian, officer, and county characteristics. We find no evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic disparities across shootings, and White officers are not more likely to shoot minority civilians than non-White officers. Instead, race-specific crime strongly predicts civilian race. This suggests that increasing diversity among officers by itself is unlikely to reduce racial disparity in police shootings.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550618775108?journalCode=sppa

Is there evidence of a Black–White disparity in death by police gunfire in the United States? This is commonly answered by comparing the odds of being fatally shot for Blacks and Whites, with odds benchmarked against each group’s population proportion. However, adjusting for population values has questionable assumptions given the context of deadly force decisions. We benchmark 2 years of fatal shooting data on 16 crime rate estimates. When adjusting for crime, we find no systematic evidence of anti-Black disparities in fatal shootings, fatal shootings of unarmed citizens, or fatal shootings involving misidentification of harmless objects. Multiverse analyses showed only one significant anti-Black disparity of 144 possible tests. Exposure to police given crime rate differences likely accounts for the higher per capita rate of fatal police shootings for Blacks, at least when analyzing all shootings. For unarmed shootings or misidentification shootings, data are too uncertain to be conclusive.

What we should be doing is providing more mental health help to cops and stop burdering cops with everything. Watch this Larry Elder video and listen to what the police chief says after 5 minute mark. Don't be part of the problem - be part of the solution. If you think there are issues in policing, join the police youself and help improve it.

Ex liberal playwright David Mamet said it best: “Liberals have to pretend not to know things in order for their backwards worldview to make sense.”

Yep. The more you look into anything they yap about the more you see its all bullshit. Gerrymandering, "stolen" SC seats, the "party flip" are good examples. Gun control and global warming too.

You are over the mark. Stay strong and keep your mind open.

Leftists want people to think far-left ideology is "liberal."

You're probably just a sane, rational classic liberal who isn't afraid of patriotism and truth. Don't let the far-left define who you are and what you can call yourself.

They aren't full of shit. They are frame-seizing, power-hungry, gas-lighting demons.

I've done a lot of research on the democrat party since Floyd's death. Motives have not changed at all within the democrat party, only strategies.

https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2764367/effectiveness-surgical-cotton-masks-blocking-sars-cov-2-controlled-comparison

In conclusion, both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19 to the environment and external mask surface.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7181938/

https://www.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles (37) and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency. However, respirators, such as N95 and P2 masks, work best when they are fit-tested, and these masks will be in limited supply during the next pandemic. These specialist devices should be reserved for use in healthcare settings or in special subpopulations such as immunocompromised persons in the community, first responders, and those performing other critical community functions, as supplies permit.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/?fbclid=IwAR3biztkXcYbzGp92up8dtfor2K5sNQNAGp_6YwYxvRUlgSlZfDmoGZS75M

Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%. This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.

Masks are the new reusable grocery bags -- filled with germs, bacteria and viruses being unwittingly carried around everywhere. And just like your underwear and pants don't prevent your farts from getting out, regular non-N95 masks don't prevent germs either. Though to be fair, if older people "feel" a bit safer, then I guess let them do whatever makes them feel safe. But companies exploiting this to sell masks is fraud and government enforcing this is just abusing power and scare mongering their citizen sheeps.

As soon as the press briefing is over all the media and politicians takeoff their masks. What looks to be happening is they are only wearing masks for the television...

Regarding the Tom Cotton, here's one of the more honest lefty journalist Matt Taibbi scorching the media:

https://taibbi.substack.com/p/the-news-media-is-destroying-itself

99% of what you think you know is a fabrication deliberately built for the purpose of enslaving your mind. The more you learn, the more terrifying the real world is.

Welcome, enjoy the stay.

Welcome to the party! Have a coat!

You are correct, but be warned it's a long road.

The left sees “minorities” (race, sex, orientation, etc) as children or, worse, retards/inferiors that need coddling like a crippled kitten or something. In their hearts many are probably just misguided and deceived do-gooders who have been led astray. Obvious exceptions are; politicians, race baiters, Commies, community organizers, etc. Essentially those who wish to garner money, fame and power on the backs of minorities.

The right sees minorities as just normal people; some awesome, some as the piles of steaming turds that they are. We don’t pander, coddle or treat you like a political/social resource. This may seem cruel to the uninformed but is, in fact, the only truly anti “-ist’s” that exist.

Oh yeah, welcome!

Now that you’ve exercised a little logic, the left will call you a racist terrorist. Welcome to freedomtown.

Don’t be a fag 👍

A lot of us are ex liberals! I marched on Washington for gay rights and women's rights (as if we didn't have any) but I was a dumb college kid who loved going to D.C. gay bars (they played the best music and they were great places to dance w hot boys who had no interest but we're so much fun!) Once out of college n had to pay my own way I became conservative.

It’s funny when you finally wake up and see what’s been in front of you this whole time. Many of us were once in your shoes. Welcome!

I'm big Trump supporter and back masks too. Though not compulsory, if someone wants to wear a mask (not for political reasons) what's the fucking problem?

There are bigger issues than quarantine and masks my man.

Welcome here.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Layers of government do one thing well, compile all of the local data into larger scale, wide angle glances at various things. FBI UCR compiles data from standardized forms that police fill out for incident reports.

I see them fill them out at the jail I work for people who are brought to jail, simple citations may be done in their car, but they prefer the workstation we have where they can type while standing as the jail completes processing just in case anything changes as they have to be present before official custody is handed over; i.e. someone has a gun in there butt or vagina, which is a felony...we get plenty of ladies with drugs in places brought directly from prison visitation.

The CDC and BLS do similar things for their fields...I used to gather and present data on the lowest level at my state when I worked in a prison, and developed an appreciation for data, context, and MS excel. I like to support my ideas, views, and arguments and when met with opposition, I usually only see ancient accusations, legacy media articles, and conjecture.

Hang around here, that feeling only increases with time.

Whoo...boy...you are in for some eye opening, especially about the DNC/media complex.

Just read through the threads here every day, once all of the celebrating has died down, and you are going to get inudated with facts. Hard facts.

Not emotional platitudes meant for garnering votes and mindless outrage.

Just heaping doses of reality.

The President is without a doubt the most protected citizen, I’m not saying Trump himself, but whoever is in office. They aren’t gonna let him take a bullet or get a deadly virus. So you gotta use your own reasoning as to why he isn’t masked. There is no way in Hell he isn’t insulated from Corona. Could be testing, other’s masks, HCQ, a combination, or something else but it isn’t dumb luck or his bravado keeping him from getting it. I don’t think he has a stated stance against masks, he did wear one inside Ford. The crux of the mask argument is prevention of the spread, but there isn’t any carrot at the end of the stick. If masks prevent the spread then open churches, schools, playgrounds, etc. and go back to normal life. Releasing prisoners and making prisoners out of businesses while at the same time creating a social shaming atmosphere is not good ground to stand on. We got baited with flattening the curve and now it’s almost four months later. Bottom line if you can wear a mask to Walmart then you can wear a mask to vote, and that’s what this is all about.

Freethinkers needed.

then going back to life and forgetting about black people for another half century

4 years*

Somewhere along the way people stopped questioning authority. Independent thought nowadays for some is gone. Welcome to a place where you can go against the grain of the MSM and people that just wanna fit in on social media.

We just love true and authentic. God. America. POTUS. Family. Ourselves. The Constitution.

The love is where you find the truth

Welcome to our love.

Can we register thedonald.love as our meetup group for patriots?

Dude you're on fire. How could you possibly be "starting" to see the light? You're fully based.

The left wants communism and socialism so they can obtain unbridled power. You have to be full of shit to push these concepts while not subjecting yourself to them (note that leaders like Kim Jong Un and Xi Xing Ping are never subject to the same rules as the subservient masses).

Those who claim to be fighting the system are actually just enforcers for the system. Now that you're starting to notice it all I can say is don't despair.. because you are going to start seeing it everywhere. It's a scary concept to come to terms with but don't look away and don't despair. Our time will come.

All of the corporate media and tech monopolies are an ideological monolith and push “progressive” propaganda in unison at a rate that equates to drinking out of a fire hose. It’s pure communist propaganda being used on Americans by people who have amassed all the power in America. It’s quite obvious and evil.

You were the liberal you tell us.

Don't forget Obamagate!

then going back to life and forgetting about black people for another half century

I think you mean for another election cycle.

OP, I used to be a Dem myself. What did it for me was the assault on free speech, which began to get noticeably more intense in 2014-2015. Around that time, I discovered T_D.

The redpill of a lifetime was when T_D - the supposed racists, bigots, etc. - was the ONLY place on Reddit not censoring coverage and information about the Pulse nightclub shooting. Because the shooter was Muslim, the Reddit mods were removing stories of coverage points, even those which didn’t even mention that little detail. I have friends down there and was able to get in touch and provide info to the ones in dangerous proximity. Reddit was more concerned with pReSeRvInG tHe NaRRaTiVe than preserving valuable lives.

May not see eye-to-eye with everything said here (I do with most - lots of meming going on now, but highly recommend a serious discussion on 2A), but I will go to the grave fighting for their right to say it.

Welcome.

I’m a former liberal. Card-carrying member of a Native American tribe, full ride to college thanks to affirmative action, and voted for Obama twice. I thought Republicans were all old evil white men (as I’d been taught in college). Then in 2016, I saw Assange post the Podesta emails and I jumped into the research rabbit hole. I’d been planning to vote for Bernie because Hillary made my skin crawl and I’d never seen any of the candidates speak (it was boring so I read headlines on CNN instead). Then I watched the first debate between Trump and Hillary and holy crap, I loved him. He was nothing like the media said. Before 2016, I hadn’t really experienced much racism (besides a local high school hanging a sign for the football team who was playing against us that said “Put them back on the Trail of Tears” but it wasn’t a huge deal). After supporting Trump, I’ve had white liberals call me everything from dirty drunk Indian to my own people call me an apple. I’ve never had anybody from TD be racist to me, and I’ve had amazing conversations and learned so much about so many things.

My advice to you is to stick around and read posts, watch the 2016 debates and the Red Dinner, watch a few rally videos. President Trump isn’t who the media wants you to believe he is. I’d hate that person too. They paint him as a monster. The real President Trump is professional, funny, patriotic, and has tremendous personal integrity and love for the American people. Hope to see you around!

Over the target

stay on target. STAY ON TARGET!!!!

PS - I love you

Let be hounest we have also adopted some of the left old position... the "deep state" was something left orginal warned of... also the the country Club Republican big business sell out of the working class (export jobs, import cheap labor)..and the endless wars being promoter

Im a old school conservative.. but the Trump movement is not party line conservative...

Really may of of our position would seem "left" 10 year back...

Really pay attention to Tucker Carlson or Rush...do they sound like conservative of ten years ago?

The left Dem sold out the American working class with Obama.. the Obama Democratic forged and alliance of the worst of the Authoritarian left and the big money "Country Club elites right" that saw the working class as dirt anyway that needed to replaced with peons that would "know there place" really the new left is a fascist left
