A Black football quarterback takes a KNEE during the National Anthem to say Black Lives Matter and is declared to Hate America, The Flag, Un-American, Hates Veterans, etc. A White Police officer places his KNEE on the neck of a Black man that is handcuffed behind his back resulting in his death and some think it was justified force and want you to believe he might have died due to exhaust fumes from a car that wasn’t running since he wasn’t shot in the back? Waiting to see what a jury of his peers will decide . . . .if not a hung jury or the cop takes a plea bargain agreement to a minor infraction.
It’s fortunate that the black community is not getting vaccinated at the same rate as the whites.. no sense wasting valuable vaccinations if they are going to be shot in a few days anyway.
Michigan GOP leader said he got Covid after being forced to attend party event he called a ‘den of virus’
The Republican believes at least six other people contracted the virus from meeting
A Michigan Republican leader is furious with his party members after he contracted a serious case of Covid-19 following large event he was pressured to attend where few people were wearing masks.
Jason Watts, the treasurer of his local GOP party, told Michigan Live that he was forced by his members to attend an event because other party members were considering firing him for criticising Donald Trump in an interview with The New York Times. He said there was no option for him to call into the meeting.
Mr Watts was ultimately not removed from his position.
He described the event as a "den of virus”, noting that only two of the 70 people attending were wearing masks.
Following the meeting, Mr Watts tested positive for the coronavirus and fell ill. He is still recovering in the hospital more than two weeks after his diagnosis.
Yay! I had my second Pfizer dose yesterday! My arm hurts like Hell, and when I woke up, I hurt from the top of my head to my toes! My dogs are not cooperating with my pain! I took a migraine pill, it helped somewhat. I didn’t bother to take my temperature. I just don’t want to know! If I stand up, I am dizzy.
Trump hit with $1 trillion lawsuit over massive COVID-19 death toll in America
“The former president literally became the very domestic enemy to the Constitution he swore to defend,” Thomas wrote in his lawsuit that now includes more than 75 co-plaintiffs.
Let’s put feelings aside a moment and look at facts for a change. According to the BJS (Bureau of Justice Statistics), over the course of 2017 (latest reported numbers), “about 61.5 million residents had at least one contact with police. Whites (26%) were more likely than blacks (21%), Hispanics (19%), or persons of other races (20%) to experience police contact. The WaPo claimed 987 people were shot to death by police in 2017; 987 is 0.0016048780487805% of 61.5 million resident encounters with police. There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of whites (12%) and blacks (11%) who experienced police-initiated contact.” (https://tinyurl.com/cjxk8dmm) A study by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) found “that white officers are not more likely to fatally shoot minority civilians compared to black or Hispanic officers (https://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877).” The alleged “systemic racism” resulting in police shootings of POC is a myth. It’s a tragedy when any person is shot to death; it’s also inevitable if a person is shooting at police, the police will shoot back. It’s also true that there are a percentage of bad actors wearing police uniforms. This is human nature. Of the 1000 civilians who were shot to death in police encounters in 2017, only 10% were unarmed. The total percentage of unarmed civilians shot to death by police that year was 0.00015934959349593%. We’d all love that percentage to be zero, but you have to be deranged to try to defund/deband law enforcement because they’re unable to attain that kind of perfection. Those cities that have already defunded and severely restricted their police departments have seen the rate of violent crimes soar. Great trade off, letting criminals shoot each other and innocent civilians is so much more politically correct than 0.00015934959349593% accidental or wrongful police shootings of civilians.

Dr. Fauci schools GOP’s Jim Jordan after he angrily complains about still having to wear a mask
Jordan criticized Fauci for saying now is not the time to give up on wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, and he demanded to know when Americans could expect a return to normalcy.
“My message, Congressman Jordan, is to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can to get the level of infection in this country low so that it is no longer a threat,” said Fauci.
“You don’t think Americans’ liberties have been threatened in the last year, Dr. Fauci?!” an angry Jordan asked. “They’ve been assaulted!”
“This will end for sure when we get the level of infection very low,” Fauci replied.
Rotten republicans spread covid, shut down the country, still won’t get a mask or shots and demand the country reopen while covid is going into a fourth wave due to their bad behavior. They should be jailed.
Again, If all of these black people just stopped and listened to the police they would still be alive. But then there would not be such an outcry of police brutality.Get over it- mostly they were wrong. They did not do what they were told.
