Yes it was.
A taser probably wouldn't have been effective at all. Any suggestion to the contrary is baseless nonsense.
Her mistake was not meaning to pull her gun. That should have been her plan all along when he broke free from arrest and tried to flee in the vehicle. A fleeing criminal getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is no different than a fleeing criminal pulling a weapon.
It was entirely warranted. He suicided by cop, and it played out exactly as it should have.
She should be fired, or at least reassigned to a paper pushing postion for trying to tase him, not for shooting him.
They bastardized melting pot to mean something else entirely.
A melting pot strategy requires significant commonly held foundations. The population, even in the 50s, was still 90% white European descent, and overwhelmingly Christian. The melting pot strategy worked under those conditions because there's so much common ground, and overlap. The ingredients complemented each other.
Then things changed. They stopped pursuing complementary ingredients, and started pursuing ingredients that had less, or virtually nothing of significance in common. You can't have a melting pot when you start throwing in a bunch of ingredients that don't mix. You'll only end up with a muddy, disgusting, broken mess that smells horrible, looks worse, has no practical nutritional value, and tastes like ass.
Also, isn't Jesus technically a Levite, not a Jew? Since His was a virgin birth, thereby making Mary's genealogy the only relevant genealogy with regard to His actual lineage, and though I'm not sure it's necessary settled and certain, it's probable that Mary was a Levite (i.e. from the tribe of Levi). Joseph was from the tribe of Judah, but Joseph technically had nothing to do with Jesus' conception, so biologically speaking, his lineage is irrelevant to Jesus' lineage.
It seems Jesus is only called a Jew because Joseph was a probably a Jew, and legally, paternal lineage was all that mattered at the time, while maternal lineage was largely disregarded. And this is an especially tricky situation here, too, because you have to accept the virgin birth, which many Jews were not willing to do.
Only indoctrinated pussies deny it. And there's a lot of them, even here.
Western culture is superior. And that's not an opinion. By any objective measure, and any reasonable standard, anyone who is being honest would have to agree. It's not even a contest.
And that's all before you even get into how much history has been lost, forgotten, and/or revised to erase Indo-European influence, achievement, and success.
Charlie Kirk is just another shit tier CONservative, sustaining himself on gullible normies with no standards.
The vast majority of mainstream conservatism, and the GOP isn't worth a single damn, tbh. They're all fucking charlatans.
This seems like bullshit to me.
Keeping you clinging to hope keeps you blind, obedient, pacified, submissive, and therefore controlled. You're not a threat, because you're still optimistic and hopeful that things will magically change if you just keep your head down, play by the rules, and grin and bear it, no matter what they burden you with.
It's only when hope is lost that you're finally free of that delusion, and you can find the clarity to realize that playing by their rules is how they maintain control. Nothing will change unless you drag it kicking and screaming by its hair, after you've beat it to a bloody pulp enough to take the fight out of it.
This is basically how our own revolution played out. The Founders tried and tried to play the Crown's game, they tried and tried to remain hopeful that surely sooner or later things would get better. It's only when they realized all that was bullshit, and the only way forward was through blood and mud that anything changed. They had to drag much of the country kicking and screaming, too.
The truth is, hope is just an excuse to avoid the dirty, ugly work of what's necessary. Because that's the hard part, and that requires legitimate risk. It's much easier to sit comfortable, and passive, and hope things get better. And all the while you're slowly conditioned to tolerate more abuse and tyranny, and before you know it, you scarcely recognize anything any more, because you've sat by with your hope and let everything go to shit.
It takes nothing to hope. It's easy to hope. Letting go of that delusional hope is the hard part.
Most of the "MAGA" candidates I've seen promoted here are milquetoast at best. They're just slightly right of the typical center right GOP stooge, or they're indistinguishable from a typical mainstream 'CONservative' except for one or two issues, where they're slightly more to the right than is usual.
In either case, they're just another case of settling for what will turn out to be mild lipservice, and not much else.
Going scorched earth on federal agencies, communists in government, etc. is one of my red line requirements for a candidate to even get the time of day from me.
Without that vow, among others, they get no vote, no support, and no money.
I'm done settling for mediocrity, half-measures, and soft hands.
Hur dur, reading is hard.
If you're not even going to bother to read, then sit down and stfu.
