Shameful and disturbing for our country. People who we once held in some measure of respect - now gone. Where do we go with that narrative? How does anything begin to heal or begin to get fixed with that ridiculous show of support?

One day maybe God will send me to Baltimore or some inner city to start a work for him.

I'd love to do it for the ALJC who I'm currently licensed with because they don't have a work there or in most inner cities.

I'd far rather do that then argue with Pastor Jimmy Bob about how far my church has to be away from his in a southern town of 45,000 people that already has five UPC churches that argue over sleeve length and wedding rings and two ALJC churches that don't fellowship just because.... Besides the point...

Right now The Lord is about to have me stationed in Turkey. Before that New Mexico. Before that with the exception of maybe my last year in Maryland when I received the Holy Ghost I was a part of the problem.

Politics aside: the solution to this isn't political it's the realization that even those thugs throwing rocks at police are souls (along with democrats, Green Party members, NAACP members, homosexuals, those officers being prosecuted, the prosecuting attorney, the mayor of Baltimore, and maybe even Hillary Clinton).

I'm pleased that she is.

Excuse me, but she came across as an activist more than anything. She is NOT partial in this case.

Just looking at it from an investigative point - How could the forensics be in yet? She would also have to read through countless pages of investigative reports. There is no way she could have all that.

Her whole deal today was crowd control and had nothing to do with justice. She is trying to lower the temperature, having nothing to do with justice, and also possibly overcharging to get a plea. This whole thing is turning into a mess. I personally feel she overplayed her hand today. I also believe they will remove her as prosecutor and make a move to change the venue.

She is also doing the same thing that Angela Cory did in Florida - overplaying her hand, getting herself an acquittal.

2. I never once "made an excuse" for anyone. Peoples lives however are far more complex then statistics and political theories. There is a dynamic culture in this society that tells black youths that they fit into this mold. This culture is a product of drug culture. Many of these youths live in societies where the family unit is so destroyed, that they have no guidance. There's an entire generation of inner city youths with no fathers and drug addicted mothers. What on Earth do we do with them? Some will get out. While there are these inner city kids there are suburban black kids just 20 miles away in the DC metro area that love lives far more "privileged" then most white kids. Once YOU and yes I said YOU stop falling into the same Sharptonian trap of being race baited and see this through the eyes of a 21st century American you'll grasp hold to the fact that this is far less about race and more about where you live, who you know, and what you know and the break down of morality and the family. Sharpton is stuck in the 80s and is as irrelevant as anyone. The issue at hand is there are whole communities in inner cities that look like war zones. Personal responsibility has a part but so does culture and horrific policies imposed by dems and reps a like. These issues are far more complex then "Carson, Obama, and Oprah are millionaires why can't you be too?" But nice try....

I agree that people's lives are more complex then statistics and political theories. I wish more people were as bold as Gov. Bobby Jindal, who after being sued by this Administration regarding school choice, fought back and won for the citizens in his state. His school system is doing great and no one should touch it.

As far as me falling into the Sharpton trap of being race baited, you better turn around and look at the background that the Major of Baltimore was standing in front of when she declared that she would get justice for Freddie Grey. Yes, that is right, in front of the National Action Network (NAN) - standing with Al Sharpton. That's his in-the-red non-profit.

I agree. Praying for your safety in Turkey.

Afro-American Democrat Sheriff of Milwaukee County denounces arrest of Baltimore cops....

Pressing-On · #**156** 05-02-2015, 09:16 AM

An even better interview with Sheriff David Clark. He is great!

Says the Prosecutor is wanting revenge and not justice.

I don't know if it has been covered on this thread but....

3 of the cops charged are British, Irish Americans (White), 3 are african americans (Darker Skinned).

Is this really a race issue or a cultural issue?

Jumping to judgment is the issue, IMO. Everything around us is screaming rage - social media, news media, reality television, etc.

As I stated previously on this thread....

One fact we do have is that the only cop being charged with murder happens to be Afro-American. Normal thinking people know that fact is really irrelevant. But for the mindless mobs who cry "racism", this should be a big deal, but it won't be.

The whole thing has been manipulated by people who have ulterior motives. Government, media, activists, protesters, etc all playing their part.

Since this is apparently all over the news, there's probably something else, unrelated, going on that is far more important. They get us focused on one hand so we don't pay attention to what the other hand is doing (usually it's involved in pick-pocketing of some kind...)
