I honestly cant remember the 90s it being discussed but then I was a terrible student in HS. College for sure but I was a history major and I went as an adult so.. 10+ year difference.

Yeah cops are only white all over. There’s never been enforcement people in any other country.
I can’t imagine why our youth in America are worse off than previous generations…. Fuck me

Vote and run… aka politics.. and you can run.. and you can vote and change how shit is handled. But protesting just makes good headlines for the left and right to push their narratives and then not much happens unless you got the right people in..
NJ saw the need to change going back to Christi Todd Whitman. That’s when police changes started. It’s also why our issues are much more muted against the national stage.

You said only one person can win? Wtf are you talking about.
Where did I say not to protest I said what good is protesting another cities in another state with different laws and rules going to do? NJ requires cops to have 4 year education and has other things most other states don’t have.

Most of the protesting is outside of the community in many major cities. The local ones are fine. What are you protesting in NJ?

That’s democracy. There’s not a better system yet.

Cops are here to enforce laws and laws are made for the wealthy. It’s not going to change it’ll never change. Live your life as best you can. Most black Americans never get arrested never deal with cops outside of speeding tickets or calling them for their own need. Same goes for most Americans. These protests will only end in rioting.. which is exactly what happened in many of them last night…

It’s a state by state issue. NJ has addressed tons of shit but at the end of the day are you signing up to be a cop? It’s a certain type that does and until all these people protesting it sign up why would it change more?
Protesting isn’t going to fix it. Vote and run.

Ok but do they have regulations requiring it? No right so cough cough yourself. It’s idiotic to compare america to India or China. Like it’s not even a conversation to have. They don’t give two shits about the environment but love agreeing to shit they’ll never meet to make america look stupid.

Coal plants can be and most are made with scrubbers that don’t cause much if any air pollution. The issue is mining coal not burning it in America. Around 95% of the air is pure. It’s not obviously the best and we shouldn’t be burning coal in 2023 in America but this is what happens when you need jobs for people in areas people moved too for them etc

We produce entertainment more people now than ever before produce content we consume with our eyes and brain. Why do we need somebody to flip burgers ? Or better question why do we need to consume burger flipping garbage food?
