Entire way we have viewed these systems and their roles in our society. You see it seems easier to go after the guy or the Mental Health of the perpetrator when that monster happens to be a civilian but but when the monster is using a gun that was purchased by the state while wearing a badge. They dont really go after that one so today lets delve into the side of the gun violence debate that no one wants to talk about as we start watching. The. Real thing this week. As part of. What they like you know that i got. This. While they were going to watching the hawks i am tired robot and im to have a. Its wild when you look at the actual number as the number. Every hit every life matter is every one of these people whether youre a cop or youre a civilian walking down the street these lives actually do matter and part of their job as Police Officers is to be protecting so. If 4300. Police shootings in which people died were considered just theres no way to justify that somethings not right either way now there are 400 or i go to great i mean its hard for me to accept that out of all for you know for over 4000 Police Killing you know where they shot and killed somebody that every single for all 4000 of those people were someone deserving to be shot its good its hard number im sorry like the percentages just dont add up to that and it doesnt and thats the thing when you look at these things that there isnt there isnt a rationale for it theres always an excuse yes theres always a job. If occasion but thats why were not getting anywhere and its not Getting Better and look at these numbers according to the Washington Post 27900 people were shot and killed by the police 28992 this year 2019 were already 570 you know many people been killed by a shooter you know all you see on the news all day long up to the doesnt deserve attention it doesnt matter it is our major problem they deserve to mention but only 62 people have been killed that 62 too many but when you compare it to 570 by police thats a massive discrepancy in the numbers and i think theres something that you have to look at beyond this it isnt just if if police simply shot people who didnt comply and it was always justified and this this idea you know if we believe this then why is it only poor people seem to be the ones who have a problem with the police why is it only poor people that are aggressive with jobs and thats where these numbers also look so they there was a university of liver in california to 2800. 00 study in which they took data from 3144. 00 u. S. Counties ok what they found is that Mass Shootings and high levels of income inequality and high levels of income are connected so thats basically saying the a lot of these murders sure you can always trace a lot of these problems back to the wealth problem in this country yeah and then when you look at a place like chicago oh as terrible problem oh why are we do know why are we doing anything about it well one thing they seem to do is give cops more money and give Police Departments more money chicagos 21000. 00 budget for the folks at home gives over 1500000000. 00 to them please department while the entirety of what the city calls their Community Services infrastructure that includes the department of Public Health and the department of family and support services is allotted just 200000. 00 now. Im sure there is funding from other places and ill get any amount thing like thats not all that we get but theres something fundamentally wrong when health Public Health gets less and gets even even to a 1000000 against 1500000000 because more guns and more police are going to fix the problem and that is the problem is it is because and that to me is what the real issue is with this is that we spend more time getting distracted by the debates of like the simple black and white debates take guns off the street keep guns on the street then looking at what the causes are of a lot of this wealth inequality distress you know all of the you go down the list when people are not giving money to Public Health and department of family and supporters that creates criminals that creates people who then would go out and hurt people and also the police. Actions their plans to address these often involve what are supposed to be people and training thats only used very rarely in the most. Slimmest of of inductances and thats the swat teams yeah i mean one of those move between 5280000 Swat Team Raids are carried out on people on citizens in the United States every year or noncitizens through the city does 80000 swat raids across the country in there and then youre shocked when theres Police Violence when people actually get killed because i dont think the people doing swat are trained to do that i dont think theyre i think there are people using swat equipment using special forces equipment acting like they are you know rangers and theyre not youre not properly trained new shouldnt be about aggressor in the 1st place so you should. While the problem boys and to fox showed up in portland this weekend in their typical overhyped attention seeking fashion it was the protesters in hong kong who once again dominated the streets and the headlines for what is now the 11th straight weekend the thoroughfares of hong kong were packed with protesters with some estimates putting the demonstrators close to 1000000 strong on sunday and r.

Cash cow and is darn alfonzo among his darned has changed changed dard. Whose 1st words were at long last year a challenging post youve got to use to me. I have no doubt that what happened was scriven. Lets concentrate maki is a 1000000000. 00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to sow these problems there are numerous stocks showing that doctors were keen to test that theory concentrate straight infectivity on the patients gives them doctors the wrong to place all.

That this will now bring the Garner Family a sense of closure and the beginning of some peace. And why pretty commissioner of Police James Oneill announced in a press conference on monday that 13 year veteran of the young white p. D. Daniel plan to layo was officially fired for his use of an illegal chokehold which took the life of citizen eric garner on july 17th 2014 the incident became a case study for why so many africanamericans in the United States fear the police even in announcing the firing commissioner still still felt the need to blame the victim eric garner and make a victim out of the person who actually broke a law officer and to layo. Every time i watch that video. I say to myself its probably all of you do. To mr garner dont do it comply officer pantalone. Dont do it. I said that about the decisions made by both. Mr garner but none of us can take back our decisions most especially when they lead to the death of another human being.

When someone calls 911 and dispatchers call you and is a circumstance where you have to put your hands on someone. First Call Emergency Services 2nd because you will not have the backing of the city. In the wake of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epsteins apparent suicide last week many began to look even closer at those who helped the mysterious billionaire keep his international multifaceted child and sex trafficking ring operating however despite some very powerful people being connected to abstain the most powerful are still being protected by those in the media despite new evidence video emerging over the weekend showing British RoyalPrince Andrew the duke of york and Jeffrey Epsteins new york mansion in 2010 given mind thats 2 years after abstain was already found guilty of solicitation of prostitution involving a minor and he was forced to register as a hire a sex offender in addition new evidence including photographs is emerged suggesting Prince Andrew posed to Jeffrey Epstein and members of his entourage at the queens a state more castle in 1909 and a statement a british newspaper the telegraph a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace stated that Prince Andrew the duke of york his Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone participate or encourage any such behavior is a borat. And yet despite the seriousness of the charges and evidence against Prince Andrew it seems that royal experts and british tabloids were far more concerned this week with denouncing the duke and duchess of Sussex Meghan and harry over their travel arrangements for an 800 mile trip to france and on this side of the pond the u. S. Media has been no different let us not forget that it was Julie Kay Brown of the miami herald who finally took the evidence that have been driven acted by every major media outlet and expose not just the crimes of outstayed but the cover up of them by government officials from palm beach to capitol hill now with the latest on the Jeffrey Epstein cases one reporter who has not been afraid to seek the truth and bring it to you joining us from miami is our t.
