Are any of the MSP, Sherrifs office and SPD command staff going to be present? If not there will be no positive dialogue?

I believe in accountability for the police, and I also believe in accountability for citizens. Raise your own family without holding society accountable for your housing, food, clothing, healthcare, phones and the rest. If teachers cause suspensions and police cause crime, who causes all of these babies to be born to parents with no means on earth to take care of them? How can the blame for that be shifted away from those who do it?

What does this even mean?

In other words. Leave us alone so we can sell dope and rob stores as we please.And if we do resist arrest beat us with a pillow and shoot us with a nerf gun.

Boom, you hit the nail on the head. Thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours are spent on these types of meetings/discussions with what results. Has anyone ever given a thought that maybe just maybe it's not the cops??? Look at today's society to include music and movies. Or better yet just drive your crime ridden communities. Do you recognize anyone? I do. It's the same unemployed, crime commiting people that attend and orchestrate these types of meetings.

Accountability only applies to the other person.

Are white folks allowed to attend, or welcome?

I have to think that some folks want Ben Carson in office because they believe he will lead by example and it will rub off on the uneducated men of color that never had the advantage of an education. How would that be any different than a vote for Obama? I was one of the wishful thinkers that thought Obama and his family would raise the bar for black america. I now realize that is impossible. It makes no difference to the average man who has no hope of a future beyond a welfare check. I was so proud of this country for electing a black man because I thought we had come so far...and here we are again with riots in the streets. In the 60s the police were blamed for the rioting and today the drum still beats that same tune. You are asked to ignore the obvious problems with the real fear that is still on the streets. The only difference in this country today is that the results are made far more deadly by the sense of entitlement people now feel is their birthright and the underground access to weapons that have force the issue into a combat level never witnessed in this country before.

Great comments, 6:13!
I guess the task at hand is to show the hopeless ones what's in it for them.. the path to a real future. Platitudes and talking points don't work. Helping people see how conservative principles and policies will open the door to a real life and escape from the plantation.

6:13-The difference to put it bluntly is that Dr Carson has class something lacking in the Obama's.
They never fooled me.
When I heard MO say she's never been proud of the US before I knew exactly what we were dealing with.
There is something to be proud of everyday in this country. Our young people are out volunteering teaching illiterate adults to read. People are feeding the hungry, holding and comforting unwanted drug babies, the list is endless and for that foul woman to say she's never been proud of her country until her vulgar husband was elected goes to show exactly how crude those people truly are.
And let's not even go into how they lie, something that was well documented well before he was elected.
Anyone who holds them up for anything other than what they really are-ghetto hustles-just goes to show how low people's standards have become.
They invite into their space "musicians" who sell to children in the form of "music" drugs, gangs and the disrespect of women. They people aren't role models. They are sick disturbed people.

Sad to say this is the first president and first lady during my life that I'm down right embarrassed by and have no respect or loyalty for.

Even if Dr Carson has class...what is it to lead you to believe that anyone will listen to him?? There are many white people in this country that feel just as entitled to their free handouts as people of color. Voting for someone based on his color does not guarantee that anything will change. I have read all of Dr. Carsons books and I believe him to be a hard working person who overcame enormous odds but even that does NOT qualify him to be the leader of the free world. Show me qualifications. Aligning yourself with FOX network is troubling to me.

I don't think the low-information voters understand how the policies they vote for affect them personally.. For instance-- buying a car. A title used to cost about $25, now it's close to $100 to put it on the road, thanks to the liberals raising 'user fees'.
And gas taxes. And cigarette taxes. And cellphone taxes. And electricity skyrocketing.
That's coming out of THEIR pockets. They need to see that those who claim to be 'helping' them are actually keeping them enslaved.
I think I understand where their deep-seated anger is coming from, but I don't think they do.

6:13 PM what part of Obama is black?

Anonymous said...

Put cameras on every officer

Anonymous said...

6:13 obviously doesn't know anything about Dr. Carson. He had nothing and almost turned to a life of crime. His mother helped him get an education and he worked hard to get one. For people like 6:13 who sits there and waits or votes for someone like Obama because he is "black" it aint gonna happen.

I would love to see the NAACP address the problems that exist within the African American community, not the results that stem from those problems. People need to take responsibility and fix problems within thier culture, to include the white community.
