It is not easy being a Policeman

Difficult situation handled well by the NYPD. Thank you to the NYPD for protecting a fellow Jewish person enduring the abuse we suffer often merely because of our religion.

I'm glad there are cellphones to record all this, but I can see how the cops might get tired of being on film and having to be nice while abused by the public.

That's so sad that some people use their precious life-time to go around hating on others

They can't find the answers to their own life thus they are attracted to people who seem content being who they are

Muslims... Sheesh !

I have a great deal of difficulty controlling my HATRED towards them. I readily and sadly admit I have too much hate in my life, but sometimes I think I NEED to hate the right people in order to precisely review and consider my hate. Meaning: Am I hating simply for the empty holes in my life, or am I hating for the right reason ? I do try not to yell at the TV anymore...

Secondly, I couldn't help but notice who and what color the roilers are... This might put my first paragraph in perspective to the reader. Blacks: I grew up with black folk, yet as I get older I have little patience for the American Black culture. Believe me: I think about this quite often. Why ? And, disproportionately, only the American Black culture to which I have no respect for, using a broad brush. Exceptions, of course. It is a struggle for me. It is not without a great deal of consideration, because I do care and consider my soul / happiness / self awareness / intelligence. When I see films or read about the despicable treatment suffered and endured by black folks in our history, I feel so much compassion and empathy, only wanting to do whats right, not only by my own sensibilities, but by greater and nobler principles I regard as True and Correct. It is a struggle with me, another one of those life long process's I am traveling with...

Jew Haters are not cool with me, at all.

Why are we letting religious dogmas set our present thinking?

It's time to come out of the cave

The ending melee and subsequent arrest were not a product of religion, it was a product of punk ass kids being punk ass kids.

They are constantly told by their "leaders" that the world owes them everything, so what do you expect.

I'm with Crash.

BTW, good to see you post in here!

Also, the entire social welfare system we have in this country is arguably already a reparations system. We have spent TRILLIONS on poor people, who are disproportionately black. Why should we pay more money on top of that? Also, how much and when does it end?

Someone posted a thread about how the USDA is being scammed by 4.4 Billion in claims that vastly exceed the actual cost of past discrimination. How awful do you thing the scamming would be on a reparations program? The program would NEVER end and the money would NEVER be enough. The race hustlers in the Democratic party would see to that.

We are already broke. Where would we find the money?

You had the ridiculous idea that the US should give the Palestinians $100B. Now you have this even more ridiculous idea to give away trillions in reparations to people who were never slaves because their great grandparents were slaves.

You like to give away taxpayer money. Are you a Democrat?

My program is a tradeoff - take the money, no more welfare, no more affirmative action, no more legitimate complaints about past discrimination and slavery, because you and your people have been made whole. The legacy of slavery argument goes away. As a bonus, if I support reparations for blacks, I cannot be considered a racist!!
You wouldn't pay it - the government would, and it prints the shit anyway. No one has any intention of paying off the debt as long as foreign countries keep using our currency like it is safe. Think of the good in the economy for (insert stereotypical black loved item here) Only descendants of slaves would get it - no one who came here of there own accord gets it.
As far as your family coming here in the 1950's, well, take the good with the bad in this country you love so much and make up for the sins of the past. What made them come here was a mixture of good and bad. The Japanese got reparations!!
I'm a Libertarian now - but I don't follow any philosophy other than Israel first. Since I'm stuck in this country for now, might as well extract as much as I can from it for myself and Israel, and get rid of annoying programs like affirmative action.

What makes you think that you can pay people once and then they will drop all claims forever? You suggest the same nonsense with the Palestinians. But what ahppens if you pay them $100B and then they STILL insist they own the Holy Land and Jews have to get out? What happens if blacks take reparation money (whith they don't deserve because they were no slaves) and then insist they still want affirmative action programs and they still want more money.

The Japanese who got the reparations were the surviving ones who were actually interned. So the $$ was paid to the ones who were victimized, NOT their remote descendants.

The truth is you can never "pay off" past wrongs and it is insane to even try.

No, they didn't come here for the bad. There was no talk of reparations when they came here. That BS came along later. And my entire family consists of fully employed tax paying citizens. This country has made money off us. So WE are the "good"

You have the attitude of a leech.
