Well there you go.
Taiwan *is* now part of China.

[bambu.]

This part is of interest:

China's diplomatic encirclement of Taiwan appears to be deepening, as are calls here for Australia to develop a more coherent response to China's ambitions to control the South China Sea.

Yeah. He has just bluntly gotten done what the American people want their President to do. Blunt and inexorable, that is our Joe.

Neatly put.

Hmmm.  Why is he underwater with the American people?

[Espnthree]

And why did the White House walk back nearly all of his Virginia lies last week?

Excuses seem to be being offered for the Black cops who killed Tyre Nichols, [who .....in that photo of him in the grey trousers, grey vest, long sleeve shirt and tie, ...except for his face of color .....looked like me in 1964 when I first started in the work force, except that my shirt was white and not pastel pink.]

Caste system?
Looks more like pure 'revenge' thuggery by angry cops...so angry they forgot about their body cameras.

Would such excuses be in any way accepted if the cops were White?

Havent been any excuses stated yet.

[bambu.]

He was Black...the cops were Black...how is it 'racism'!
That's just plain ridiculous.

Name the last white person beaten to death or choked to death by police. Some white folk get beat up a bit protesting police brutality but that is about as close as you will get.

The cops beat Kelly Thomas to death here in Fullerton, six cops beat Kelly Thomas to death at the train station right in front of a huge crowd of people, and the cops never went to jail for it. Kelly Thomas was a White guy.

There may be videos of it on You Tube, I think people filmed the beating with their cell phones.

Kelly Thomas was a mentally ill homeless White guy.

Salute,

Sorry but a significant amount of white people have been killed.

[facilitatorn]

For some confluence of reasons that significant amount is disproportionately small. Rather than get the white number up, let us instead reduce both violence and discriminatory practices in policing.

The killing of Tyre Nicholls must be the catalyst for serious and permanent change.
If it's not, then all hope is lost.
Not even body cameras could stop the fatal bashing from happening. There was also a camera atop a pole at that intersection.

Most notable an unarmed white woman by a black government policeman with  not only no accountability but secrecy.
Amid media silence.

[Yankguy1]

How did you find out about it?

[Espnthree]

How did you find out about it?

We still havnt
Tell me the name of the cop and his accountability.
Was he fired?
Promoted.?

[Yankguy1]

You told the story of "an unarmed white woman by a black government policeman with not only no accountability but secrecy [and]...media silence" about the story.  I asked how you found out about the story  "amid the media silence."

Are you one of those old coots that sits in his easy chair listening to police scanners?
