Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice, and our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world.
These two men are philosophically opposed. Each sees the other as his inferior, motivated by hate. Each is determined to not subordinate himself to the other because of their philosophical differences.
The real blood and guts of the “switch” that gets flipped is all mental energy. It happens in the mind. Learning a choke hold might as well be basketball, or swimming, or wrestling class, but the ability to kill comes from deciding to.
I began to wonder a little more, but just then I stepped in front of the paper box. I reached into my pocket for a quarter, placed it in the slot, opened the box and removed the top paper.
Michelle Obama calls out, nails, and destroys the sons and daughters of American White Privilege in one of the most insightful and poignant speeches ever given during a special event at the White House.
Currently, 16 vaccines – some requiring multiple doses at specific ages and times – are recommended from birth to 18 years old.
Some are required before entering public school.
It is virtually impossible to confer substantive, viable, and enforceable civil rights upon people whose basic human rights are not acknowledged and respected.
Her act of extraordinary courage and presence of mind has changed the course of world history and the nature of the conversation about police misconduct and the need for meaningful reforms in law enforcement.
Now, we are into another adjustment. We have to find out how to live together. We have been, “on a break”, as Ross and Rachel used to say, from the cast of “Friends.” Our break, however, hasn’t been romantic…
The older man at the beginning is powerful already. His concern is about the loss of power, and displaying the trappings of power helps to project it. The younger man is pursuing power...
And at the time Lincoln was singing that song of America, Jesse James was playing a different tune. And judging from James’s popularity, many Americans were listening to a different tune.
One night in Hollywood Division I had to work with an officer that I really didn’t like. This guy was the cliche’d stereotype of what everyone hates about police.
[T]here is professionalism among police officers. There are agencies which have higher standards than others. The criticisms I hear lately are moronic.
I have had few experiences with government services since my time in the Marines, so my impressions of them basically remained from that time. Well, things have changed, and not for the better
Both men wanted the same thing: socioeconomic equality for Blacks in America, but based on their experiences, they formed two contrasting opinions on how to get there.
"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
----MLK
Many Republicans had become so crazed and incensed over the mere thought of a black man in the White House that they had literally lost their minds to the notion that: "If they'll elect a black man, they'll elect me too!"
I keep wondering why the Capitol Police did not open fire on the rioters when they breached the perimeter. That is the standard operating procedure in such situations but as far as I have been able to determine, only one shot was fired, killing a rioter.
I had the good fortune of meeting and getting to know the woman in the photo. When I was a teenager she came to visit when my Dad was in the hospital with colon cancer.
The contagion is the most troubling aspect of this problem because it limits our strengths and exacerbates our weaknesses. Our strengths include working together, as the invention of civilization intended. Our relevant weakness is the mere act of being together is part of the problem with contagion, and irritates what we dislike and mistrust about each other
Let’s say there are two friends or associates across different cultural backgrounds who either work together or just enjoy one another’s company. And, within an ordinary course of events, one friend describes to the other a third association who is inarguably racist.
We gathered for the wedding on a private island where TJ and Janie had another home. At the center of this island community is yet another golf course, and yet another club. Clubs are at the center of TJ and Janie’s life.
That headspace didn’t exist like that when I was 13. It was all dancing on the grass in front of anybody...in a speedo. By the time I was 21, I could low crawl up to you in the dark, grab you from behind and slit your throat, without you hearing a sound.
It wasn't until the early 60's that there appeared to be a seismic shift in political party affiliation from Republican to Democratic in the black community nationally...
That is what the unseen experience is like in the US, and why it is so clever to have commentary with a horror theme. It fits for the unseen and the unheard.
I am naturally curious about people, so I have logged lots of useless information, just as a preoccupation. In all of that time, and through all of those trials, the only thing as slippery as the subject of weight is racism.
What happens after an alcoholic or addict reaches bottom is they start to develop new habits and priorities that will help them remain clean and get prosperous. That’s exactly what I expect to happen to the United States.
Police work is directly analogous as an outsider status to being Black in America. Crazy assumptions about psychological motivations exist in ways, even among open-minded liberals, which would be condemned if the subject involved ethnicity or religion. Generalities which could not apply to a group so large are taken for granted. At 25, this curiosity was fascinating. At 56, it is exhausting.
And everyone who teaches about slavery knows a little dirty secret that reveals historians’ collective failure: many African-American students struggle with a sense of shame that most of their ancestors could not escape the suffering they experienced.
White Americans have been forced to see themselves and their hypocrisy in a way that runs contrary to everything they've been taught to believe about themselves and the country they live in.
Humans are not quite the advanced creatures that I thought we were when I was a child. Humanity has a huge PR machine that gives an inflated view of what a human is or is capable of.
Here is what I think will happen if that does happen. First, you have to consider that there is a demand for security. There always has been, and there always will be? Do we agree there?
If your answer is no, and you think my questions are ridiculous, then you may be beginning to get the picture. Human life is more important than any symbol...
The detective arrived after about 20 or 30 minutes. He asked me what I thought happened. I told him basically what I told you, with a few more details that would not be interesting to you.
Bandages, beans, and bullets can get very expensive, but most expensive is the human resource. To fight a war, a nation needs live bodies, and the coalition of the willing provided more in terms of public relations than actual fighters.
I think we all know that our government is setting us up for the “Melvin.” A President was impeached, and the US Senate would not even allow evidence or witnesses at the trial. We have probably been in a failed state for quite a while
Let’s say there were four lanes on the expressway to pass under the bridge. If my uncle John was one of the drivers, there would be five cars shoulder to shoulder aiming for the four spots
WE ARE ALL AWARE THAT SOMETHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT, OUR MEDIA, OUR RELIGIONS, AND, INDEED, WITH OUR CULTURE AND OUR CIVILIZATION. Bob Dylan put it this way back in 1965:"Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is, Do you, Mr. Jones?"
So, Kyle Larson, NASCAR driver in one of these meaningless...yet televised...virtual races, gets online and asks if he can be heard. Presumably he determined that he could not be heard, then he said...
My skin was burning. I clasped them together, and rolled my right hand over to expose the palm, and rubbed my left thumb over my palm. My hands are burning from all of the extra hand washing in our “Silent Spring” of “Social Distancing.”
The difference between these two incidents was that, in Poway, California, there actually was a “good guy with a gun” in the synagogue…but the shooting
Whatever else Vietnam did, whatever else the murdering of young, civilian protesters at Jackson State and at Kent State did, they tended to undermine many in my generation's willingness to gauge and engage foreign policy issues, particularly military ones, with enough subtlety, nuance, and healthy skepticism.
A vigilant citizenry is the most important mechanism in the process of maintaining the safety and security of the people of any nation or state. This article is about precisely how citizens can serve as the eyes and ears of a vigilant society.
The New York Times has flubbed (botched or mishandled) another gaffe (minor error) in its reporting on the fallout from the Attorney General William P. Barr's summary of the findings from Robert S. Mueller III's two-year investigation into campaign irregularities in the 2016 presidential contest.
One week after the horrific Parkland Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, cracks are already developing in the solidarity of the Parkland students who are speaking out in the wake of the tragedy.That solidarity lasted for exactly seven days. That's how long it took for one of the
Sen. Harry Reid's retirement has strengthened the Republicans' chances of flipping the Nevada Senate seat in the 2016 election, according to a new breakdown from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.
Yes, that's right. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled - by an eight to one margin - that police officers can stop citizens for breaking laws that do not exist....and then use evidence found in a subsequent search to prosecute said citizens under a completely different
