@88m3, I'm going to give you one chance to prove you're not a clown.
You've been here 8 years. Just show me one time, ever, before Bernie's June 2nd letter that you argued for more radical reformation of the police than Bernie did. So I know you're not a Hillary-stan centrist democrat cosplaying as a militant all of the sudden, please show me one time, ever, that you argued for bigger changes before this month.
Second, show me one time, EVER, where you criticized one of the centrist dems for their police proposals, none of which have ever gone nearly as far as Bernie did. When Clinton called for more training for cops, show me where you said ONE word against her for it.
I mean, you're a fukking Clinton stan trying to talk like Bernie is too soft on cops.
You even posted in this thread @Rhakim

My issue is with his "the police need better wages and education" shtick.
His letter to Schumer is whatever we'll be lucky to see half of that in our lifetimes at this rate.
When, in 8 years here, have you EVER called for more radical reformation of the police before Bernie did it?
When, in 8 years here, did you EVER criticize Clinton or the other centrist dems for not going far enough on their police proposals?
Those were the questions. You gonna take off the clown suit and answer them?
Or are you just gonna Gish Gallop away like a mini-Shapiro?
You just shyt posted a huge list of random threads that had nothing to do with the topic. All you have to do is post ONE quote where you actually went further than Bernie.I have and I've shared threads stating as much. I'm not sure why you're dragging this out.
There's literally NOTHING in the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 that pertains to police reform, that's judicial reform.The Dems are also responsible for the lack of police reform but in my life Obama and the Dems probably created one of the largest positive changes with the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 that also directly impacted my life.
So just go ahead and post where you critiqued her for not going far enough on police reform. Or do you post based on standom rather than on policy?I'm not some diehard Clinton fan either I wanted her to defeat Trump. You're trying to conflate something that isn't really there. I can understand how that can be lost in the sour grapes of Bernie choking twice.
So you're trying to claim credit for having advocated for less than what Bernie just did, while attacking him for being a "fence-sitter" who doesn't go far enough.I've always advocated for demilitarizing the police and holding them accountable through different measures.
You're clearly taking it personally that I don't think Bernie's response is up to snuff from someone of his reputed caliber.
wait. theres people out there that want to dismantled all of police. like ALL police. as in, if im being robbed, shoot somebody, no more 911 to collect the body or investigate type shyt? or am I missing someone.
wait what.Yes there are, and apparently they're all Trump supporters and/or Clinton stans.
I'm getting there...wait. theres people out there that want to dismantled all of police. like ALL police. as in, if im being robbed, shoot somebody, no more 911 to collect the body or investigate type shyt? or am I missing something.
I don't have anything against police. I believe in police reform. I think the police force should reflect the population of the community. For example in east LA, I'd say half of the police are hispanic (for linguistic reasons but still). I think it makes sense that way, same goes for teachers. I think it makes 'some citizens' feel more comfortable. When south central has like 90% white police from the burbs, I can understand why they're scared (unfamiliar with area, people, culture). and why the citizens are stand offish too. Imagine if Beverly Hills had 90% big ass stone cold looking black cops patrolling their neighborhood, how would that feel. Think about it. Actually I did and I bet Karen wouldnt call the cops. now you know why black people dont call the police.I'm getting there...
I'm beginning to think outcomes for young black men may improve without state law enforcement.
Are we still making this argument after months of discussion around what defunding the police means?wait. theres people out there that want to dismantled all of police. like ALL police. as in, if im being robbed, shoot somebody, no more 911 to collect the body or investigate type shyt? or am I missing something.
