Alternately: A modest self-sufficient live-aboard boat. Move out and anchor somewhere remote and quiet till its over.
Might be a good reason to just liquidate the urban property (while you still can) and make the move.
Whatever: Do it before the election. Originally Posted by ICU 812

I'll give it a try! I'm not a registered Republican because I don't believe in identifying myself that way and never vote a straight ticket just because of party. I'm all about policies which just happen to fall in the Conservative sphere.
Now, I don't believe Republicans are indifferent to police brutality. I believe Republicans look to the law as guidance in these matters and sometimes that can appear to be indifferent. You could bring an emotional judgement to what happened without any consideration of the legal aspects of the case or you can look at the facts, apply the law and explain your reasoning just as the AG of Kentucky did. He is a Black man. Do you really think he was indifferent to her death? I don't. I think he looked at the law and the law says quite clearly that the police had a warrant for that address based on evidence compiled, that at one time or another, drugs were dealt out of that apartment. The man doing that dealing was no longer there but guess what, during the time he did live there with Ms. Taylor. they shared a joint banking account making her a possible conspirator in drug dealing. Should the police have handled this in a different way? I believe they should have. Why execute a warrant in the middle of the night? Why not stake the place out and as soon as somebody leaves the apt., place them under arrest and search the place but that doesn't address the facts and the law.
So, the police had a proper warrant based on compiled evidence. A witness at the scene says in the Grand Jury testimony, that the police knocked and identified themselves as police before entering. They were fired upon. Whether that was a legal thing to do or not by the boyfriend, cops have the authority to fire back when fired upon. Shit happens and an un-armed person is dead.
The cops had the legal authority to enter and to return fire. That's the law and the Grand jury confirmed it. That is not being "indifferent" to the suffering this action caused but you can't write a law that says somebodies suffering outweighs the law. The law must be applied indifferent yes, to feelings.
Jacob Blake. Horrible to watch a man get shot in the back 7 times but the circumstances of that incident must be looked at and the law applied no matter how horrible we feel about it. Again, legal warrant served on the right guy. He refused to be arrested, was told to stop moving away from police to a place where he might have an additional weapon to the one he is said to be carrying. He reaches into the car and what, the cop should wait to see if he turns with a weapon in hand and shots after he was ordered not to move away from police?
Again, not indifferent to a man being shot but the law must be applied. Did that cop with malice, shot that man without fear for his life or bodily harm? The evidence, clear as day says the cop had a right to defend himself.
It's not brutality if it's legal. That's a fact and it's common sense
I find it ironic that the left are against an overstepping big government and the right support a nanny state.
The right supports a nanny state? I think you have your parties mixed up. It is the Left that supports the nanny state.
While we’re at it, can someone tell me which party, you know, actually cares about American Conservative values? Originally Posted by redpartyhat
