Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Was kid getting shot in the face in public caught on video from three separate angles?
I bet Ed cameras in the you build in Texas Why that so-called law-enforcement was standing around while all those kids were getting murdered I’m sure they have video of it, but I also remember them editing out the audio of the video because of the screaming in the background why the agents were Standing around on their cells
So not public and not all over the net.
If you don't understand the different reaction between something reported to have happened and something documented with multiple videos you don't understand humans much.
I've always said all legislators should be required to walk through the aftermath of an event like sandy Hook or Uvalde before they are allowed to vote on gun legislation. And while I understand why parents would never want video of that made available to the public, I also think it would make a huge difference in public opinion if it was--that's why I say at least the lawmakers should have to see it (and sight isn't the only sense of it they'd never forget).
I have no doubt of any of that. They wont make it public and all the reasons they use will never be their reason. They don't want us to see how they failed. That a exonerated coward stood by while it was happening and broke his oath doing so. That none of of the law enforcement on site had the courage to go in and end it. If that video would have been made public though it would have not changed the politicians that much. Far too many of them lack the ability to feel the pain of others. Its how they got to where they are.
No. I just don't understand trolls.
Its not a troll. Its a genuine comment on the nature of people and where and why they focus on certain atrocities more than others.
No, you're a troll, because he's not suggesting they disarm the entity that was murdering people. He wants to disarm the people who are getting murdered.
It's not the video causing him to make this statement.
I'm not but you can't seem to understand or comprehend what I'm saying and I have no more time to waste on any of you.
No we understood you. It was just irrelevant to the conversation.
