Now we have some answers to earlier questions in this thread.

Dallas sniper followed black militant groups on Facebook, was sent home from Afghanistan over harassment claim | Fox News

In May 2014, six months into his Afghanistan tour, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier. The Army sent him stateside, recommending an "other than honorable discharge," said Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him.

Glendening said Johnson was set to be removed from the Army in September 2014 because of the incident, but instead got an honorable discharge months later -- for reasons he can't understand.

"Someone really screwed up," he said. "But to my client's benefit."

I was expecting to have PTSD pop up as a cause for all this. A relief to not see or hear that mentioned.

As I like to tell people, "the day ain't over."

There's a reason the stock press photo of Mr. Johnson is of he in his military uniform, even though he is no longer a service member, IMO .

We do all have the "worst" form of PTSD, dontya know.

You were told to listen to the legitimate cries of your fellow Americans!

I have a problem with authority, especially the bullshit kind.

Silly me, here I've been talking to African American ladies and gents like I do everyone else. Usually as, you know, a regular fuckin person.

"Yeah, the Bucks might be good next year, it has been warm lately, that car your driving is pretty slick, but how does that all make you feel..."

He got the same due process he doled out to others. May he now be in that special place in Hell. The place for cowards, child molesters, rapists, and traitors.

It has been argued that militarization of the police is one of the factors that has led to increased distrust between Police and the community that they serve.

I disagree and I think this is total BS. The cocaine shootouts in South Florida, the famous LA gunfight and other incidents demonstrated in blood how out-gunned police departments were. The have had to ramp up firepower and gear to meet existing threats and circumstances. When you're in foot pursuit of a BG through alleys, backyards, over fences in the dark, do you want to be in dress shoes and a tie? Or tactical gear and boots? Do you want to face big caliber high volume rifle fire with a Glock 9? Or would you rather have an AR in the trunk and 500 rounds of 556?

Maybe the sight of a tactically equipped LEO will intimidate those who stray across the lines of legality, and that's just fine with me.

How fine is the line between patrol law enforcement giving the impression to the populace that they're enforcing rather than keeping the peace?

Razor thin from what my cop friends tell me.

Being a minority that came here in 1989, made something of myself and working with many successful blacks.

I don't understand what the crap is going on, can't speak for the whole country but from my experience we have an unbelievable opportunity to prosper in the United States of America.

I don't understand this whole victim mentality. But hey let's march with Snoop Dogg and The Game; both have shot up people in gang violence and who cares about the police officer protecting us? Yeah that's crazy.

 

[Beagle]

Also another thing, what the hell is Hillary talking about "Whites needing to listen to Blacks"

I do talk to and work with blacks daily and no problem at all and nothing about the white man keeping any of us down.

You guys see this yet?

Seemed like they did the right thing from the get go.. although they are getting a bit too hung up on the way law enforcement were questioning him. Media is more to blame than the police.

It was all cool until he said that the media and the world prejudge him. (Which is true) but I don't think he understand that Black Lives Matter and the protest he is supporting is also prejudging all officers that shoot a black person.

Now there are corrupt officers but BLM making it sound like all white officers are hunting down blacks. I don't even think a racist white officer would bother shooting a black person just because they are black, no one going to throw away their career because they are racist.

Today two black man and a 9 year child were killed. Do these 3 black lives not matter? Where is Black Lives Matter?

Lynching Statistics

There were 3,446 African-Americans lynched in the US between 1882 and 1968. That number of is according to the Tuskegee Institute. To put that number into perspective, last year there were over 4,500 African-Americans killed by other African-Americans. So what does that sat about the class system for African-Americans now?

I don't think that makes the point you want to make.
