I don't see it in favor of looting burning and killing.

What I see is a suggestion that common civility goes a long way. Yes, even with respect to the police.

What I see is the excuse I see every time the police shoot yet another black man - if he’d followed their instructions they wouldn’t have had to shoot him.

I could halve deaths from police engagement with a simple rule. In every encounter, any police officer using a firearm before anyone else has fired a weapon, or with no bodycam evidence of who fired first, must be immediately and unconditionally dismissed with no pension rights. Without the escalation to weapon firing, the police should always hold sway with their less lethal tasers.

2020 was one of the deadliest years for law enforcement officers on record

I occasionally wonder whether you reed the articles you link to.

Your link says "more officers died of Covid-19 than all other causes combined, with 145 out of the 264 deaths attributed to the virus". That leaves 119 non-Covid " federal, state, military, tribal and local law enforcement officers" deaths. I bet at least half of those 119 were in car crashes, too. The typical year is 50 officers dead by firearm, and 2020 sounds typical. Here you are - from the same link you posted - "Forty-eight officers were shot and killed on the job last year, compared to 51 in 2019, the report stated".

So, try to explain how your observation has anything at all to do with my suggestion. I can see no association whatever. I made a suggestion on reducing the number of people killed by American police officers. American police officers shoot dead around 20 people for every shooting death they sustain, it's a disgusting statistic. Any honorable police force would strive to kill fewer people than their own casualty count, that's what professionalism means. It's obviously not what happens in America. It does, on the other hand, happen in the UK, if you exclude people killed by London's Leman Street specialist death squads.

I can offer up a list of people who were simply minding their own business and were accosted by police officers for no explicable reason, and then had there lives taken by those officers. It really is not as simple as "doing what they're told."

Yours has been clear for a long time, I might generalise but it’s not far off.

The other example is the child who did exactly what he was told to and was still shot in the chest and killed, nothing is as simple as these discussions make them - I react and I tend to generalise rather than go into detail for which I apologise.

Go on tude, tell me whether it's fake news or not.

I'm quite taken with this one for several reasons.

It's written in the early days of FDR's recovery plan and clearly failed to predict the consequence, it got history completely wrong. The problem wasn't the recovery plan, it was the depression triggered on Wall Street. The recovery worked, there was no dictatorship, the constitution was not junked and the government was not busted.

I tried to work out who drew the cartoon back in 1934 but I've failed so far. I'm interested to know.

There's dozens of witless websites reproducing it and as usual they get the chap in the picture wrong. No, it's not Karl Marx despite that being the earliest filename of this jpg. It's Trotsky.

And as for "It worked in Russia!" - what on earth is that meant to reference? A pre-revolutionary event? Something from the twenties? The State Commission for Electrification of Russia? I can't think of a single historical moment that the words could be citing, not one. Someone tell me.

Here's a step-by-step analysis of the cartoon, it would be worthwhile reeding it in full if only to see the original cartoon from which the trimmed corner has been reproduced by tude. The analysis ends with these words:

Another picture might help at this juncture:


This is an economic chart of the period we're talking about. If you find 1934 at the bottom, and line it up with the graph you can see exactly where the nation was, in the recovery process, at the time this cartoon was published.

You might also want to note:

• where the turn-around occurred,
• the fact that Hoover was a Republican, and
• the fact that Roosevelt was a Democrat.

So it turns out that there was a new Democratic president at the time, and that the country was in the beginning of a recovery after a devastating depression under the former Republican president.

In spite of this, those who didn't like the Democrats were running around screaming about elite, over-educated socialists with foreign connections who were spending too much.

And they're still doing the same thing today.

Will they ever learn?

This cartoon was drawn in the midst of the great depression. Nothing like that happening now, but Biden has the same answer.
