[B]Deaf Black man hit, tased by Phoenix Police Officers[/B]

The only natural enemy on earth of the black man is: [B]The Police Man[/B]![/QUOTE]Your question seems more appropriate with state election and it's representatives. Federal laws only keep up with civil rights violations, or cross state lines.
IMHO, Veep Harris won the day!
Yet another excellent, well-spoken, clear, conceive and strong interview by Veep Harris, given "hostile" territory over on the FOXY Muse network, verses yet another puff piece on FOXY Muse, in the form of an all-woman's town hall, setup to look like a [i]"pro-women reproductive rights"[/i] support for the bumbling, stumbling and incoherent, [i][b]"enemy within"[/b][/i] insurrectionist, lying convict and pussy-grabbing Trump.
What was so amazing, given that FOXY's Bret Baier, tried to interrupt and speak over Veep Harris, at every turn [i](which reminds me of, the disrespectful Bill O'Reilly interview, some years ago on FOXY with President Barack Obama),[/i] came as no surprise as the very capable, intelligent and masterful Veep Harris, schooled Baier and set the record straight on the division and divisive rhetoric being spread by Trump.
When it came to Trump's [i][b]"enemy within",[/b][/i] revenge and divisive rhetoric speech, she was having none of it and was very skillful and quick to point out, the deceitful FOXY Muse edited [i][b]"sane washing"[/b][/i] puff-piece they tried show her of "what Trump said", was NOT the entirety of [i]"enemy within"[/i] speech and then masterfully, reminded FOXY and Baier of what was said.
She was brilliant, was when it came to correcting FOXY Muse and Baier, especially on the divisive, disruptive and destructive Trump rhetoric to divide the country and the American people.
And in a fiery exchange, she showed her presidential will and forcefully pointed out, [i][b]"THIS IS A DEMOCRACY"[/b][/i] and [u][i][b]"a thin skinned"[/b][/i][/u] ex-president who can't take criticism from his fellow Americans, without uttering threats of retribution, retaliation and/or stochastic terrorism, belongs nowhere near the White House.
Well Done Veep Harris, you were masterful!
[QUOTE=CheckMate1;2953751]Your question seems more appropriate with state election and it's representatives.

[U][b]18 U.S. Code 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law[/b][/U]
[I]Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, [b]or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens[/b], shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.[/I]
[B]I am asking which candidate running for President will make it a priority have the Justice Department of the United States of America to enforce the current law of the land[/B]
[U][B]Police Officers Rarely Charged for Excessive Use of Force in Federal Court[/B][/U]
[I]Despite growing popular unrest and media attention in recent years over excessive use of force by police officers, the latest available case-by-case data show that federal prosecutors rarely bring relevant criminal charges known as "deprivation of rights under the color of law" (18*U.S.C.*242) against law enforcement. In the first seven months of FY 2020, federal prosecutors filed *242 charges in just 27 cases. In April 2020, just a month before the death of George Floyd sparked civil unrest, federal prosecutors did not report prosecuting a single case with *242 as the lead charge.[/I]
[URL]https://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/crim/615/[/URL]
Enforcement of Federal Laws in the United States of America falls to the President of the United States of America. You are welcome for the civics lesson.
[I]Section 242 of Title 18 of the federal code*makes*it a crime for a public official acting in their official capacity to willfully deprive a person of their constitutional rights. Yet prosecutors rarely bring charges under the statute, averaging just*41*cases per year. The recent federal indictment of the Minneopolis police officers related to the killing of George Floyd is an exception that highlights just how infrequent such prosecutions are, even when they are clearly warranted.[/I]

The Plutocracy that runs the USGOV does not want to strengthen the law and give it teeth because they use race as a distraction against the gross inequality in wealth and income that exists in the United States of America.

The only natural enemy on earth of the black man is: [B]The Police Man[/B]![/QUOTE]Those officers are clearly morons and it was terrible what happened to that guy, I hope he sues and gets a few million. That being said, Police brutality is just another false narrative the left pedals. In a nation of 330 million people who almost all of whom carry cell phones, your going to regularly see videos like that no matter what policies you put into place in law enforcement. A few bad apples will always make waves abusing their power or just displaying incompetent reckless behavior.
The actual real world problem which is occurring from this is police are looking the other way as much as possible trying to avoid any situation which could cast them as the next racist abusive cop. You talk to any cop, they will tell you they are terrified to deal with any of those situations. You think those lazy mother fucking police want to risk losing their shit so some dude can act a fool and put them in a career jeopardizing scenario. So when some one actually does need a cop to enforce the law they will be much harder to find. Look how much violent crime has risen and look at how far fewer violent criminals are in jail and out on the streets instead.
Best way to solve blacks being targeted is provide economic opportunities to black urban neighborhoods who with high employment rates are going to become good citizens who raise good children in the community. Got to break the cycle. The guy in the video tried to steal a bike, he didn't deserve the beat down he got, but if he had a job or a family worth losing he 100% never decides to steal a bike.
Here's some questions for thought?
Which candidate is going to create a nation of educated, career employed, land owners, investors, union workers, skilled technicians, etc?
Which candidate is going to let inflation run wild and let Corporate juggernauts like Walmart, Amazon, and Google push policies which keep us living paycheck to paycheck and forced to shop at the lowest prices possible,"Walmart" while consuming the cheapest content,"youtube / netflix" as possible as well?

Now that the NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) are expiring on that scripted game show the producers jokingly hired spectacularly failed "businessman" Trump to host, the producers are now a bit more free to reveal what a total business numbskull Trump was:

Yeah, even that Trump ass-licker had to admit he was wrong and Harris was right:

[QUOTE=Spidy;2953780]IMHO, Veep Harris won the day![/QUOTE]You did not watch the interview. You are just repeating what was on MSNBC and in the NYT.
[QUOTE=Spidy;2953780]When it came to Trump's [i][b]"enemy within",[/b][/i] revenge and divisive rhetoric speech, she was having none of it and was very skillful and quick to point out, the deceitful FOXY Muse edited [i][b]"sane washing"[/b][/i] puff-piece they tried show her of "what Trump said", was NOT the entirety of [i]"enemy within"[/i] speech and then masterfully, reminded FOXY and Baier of what was said.[/QUOTE]Trump mentioned the interview in an interview with Maria be. It was about 2 seconds of the interview. Baier played the clip where Trump explained what he meant by enemies within in a different interview. Of course, that is not the point. The notion is Trump is going to use the army against his enemies.
You might not like it but there are exceptions to the rule the Commander in Chief cannot use the USA military against American citizens. [URL]https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/17/donald-trump-enemy-within-quote/75714201007/[/URL].
And normally I would be aghast at such talk however one stipulation of the rule is "Some sort of violence or conspiracy is depriving others of their Constitutional rights. " But what have you douches been doing? You are openly conspiring against the First Amendment. You are sending armed personnel to Trump's house. You are sniffing around his wife's closet. You have cheered on the lawfare campaign. Hell, there have even been two and maybe three assassination attempts. So yeah, he can use the military against you douches and given how so many douches have behaved, he would have my support if he did so.
So the "wrong clip" thing is a big nothing burger.
As for the interview itself, it was nothing if you wanted any policy points. The only points Kamala scored was saying how many Republicans were against Trump but Biden has said that before. Most was the usual I am not Trump bullshit. What was different with this interview and why the Kamala team, is so furious to say she did well, is what a clusterfuck it was. Harris responded with her usual rehearsed answers to questions but Baier asked follow ups.
So when Baier rightly blamed Biden / Harris for the border debacle and overturning Trump's executive orders, Harris tried to blame the failed border bill on Republicans and Trump. Baier showed how Democrats could have gotten the bill if they all voted for it and Kamala had no answer.
Baier put up a graph showing 79% of Americans think the country is on the wrong path and asked Harris how her policies would be different than Biden's given how she had previously said she would not change anything Biden did. Her answer was I am not Joe Biden. Yes, that is what douches think is a great answer.
If you want to play the dumb gotcha game, Baier totally burned Harris when she was going off on Trump being mentally unstable and unfit for office. Baier told Harris that she said Biden was as sharp as a tack and Baier reminded her that George fucking Clooney noticed Biden's cognitive decline. He asked Kamala when did she see the decline and she did not answer and just stammered.
So because she said nothing new or even interesting, what else is there to say than she was smart, polished ETC? If the goal of the interview was to further understand the candidate and have her defend her record, she completely failed. She is the teleprompter and rote memorization queen and gave the same unthinking scripted answer she always has. The only thing new is someone took her off script and she was speechless.

Respectfully, you should probably be asking Elvis 2008, this question.
According to Elvis 2008, [i]"Why is the success or failure of Red Lobster so important",[/i] was somehow, proof positive for Repubs, that a [i][b]"bad Biden economy"[/b][/i] and [i][b]"people having no money"[/b][/i] to spend at restaurants, was the reason for their downfall and the problems associated with the broader restaurant industry at large. When this CLEARLY was NOT the case, as myself and others have reasoned, with substantiated facts, articles, videos and data.
For further answers to your questions, you can begin here, at the genesis of the debate:
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2951824]Trump and his Repubs as well as so many other economic gurus here and elsewhere have cited the closure of some restaurants that serve overpriced crap is proof positive that Bidenomics is a terrible, terrible failure, that nobody has any money, nobody can buy food, this is "the worst economy ever"!
