Mind's Eye Re: The Balkanization of America

...marks on his neck from his long confirmation hearing. I never would have expected such a ruling from our newest member. Shocked and appalled I am. 

Then a few days ago another Conservative friend comments they believe cops are too aggressive and brutal. Says they use too much force. I didn't let myself get into a debate. Clearly some cops are bad. Sometimes good cops make a mistake. But to denigrate an entire profession for the actions of a few doesn't make any kind of sense. City governments letting the inmates run the asylum hardly seems condusive to solving societies problems either. The People's Republic of Chaz ain't no paradise I can promise you. Cops are retiring, quitting and getting fired left and right. One wonders what this will mean as far as future crime rates?

I am simply amazed at what is going on in my own country. What is allowed to go on. I'm worried about the elections this year because the economy is in the tank. People traditionally vote with their wallet. Am I better off then I was 4 years ago? Now, with these riots and the confounding non-reaction from city governments I see a quiet groundswell of support for Trump. Very quiet. Reminiscent of the support Nixon got in '68 after those riots. It's possible both whites AND blacks expect law and order to be upheld. BLM do not represent the mainstream. I don't feel like the news is giving me all the facts. Hardships are coming for us all. Stay safe.

She is probably right and I'm an idiot for not realizing the political reasoning but it frustrates me it seems to matter to so many. Who freakin cares what sex or what color you are anymore? Can you do the job? Will you follow the constitution and stop making stuff up? Or will you be like Gorsuch and write an opinion that interprets Title VII in a new and troubling way. I expect liberal judgements from Chief Justice Roberts but Gorsuch still has the lynch
