1ºNakia Nikki Green do you support Planned Parenthood? You should look into the motives of their founder, Margaret Sanger. She was deep into eugenics and wanted to eliminate the black race; which she called, “weeds to a healthy society!” As far as the flag you’re attacking, you cannot take the bad things men do and determine it was done in the name of that flag. I do not worship the flag, however, I respect what it stands for. I honor the men who fought under that flag. The flag to represents freedom for ALL Americans. America is the most tolerant, anti-racism, pro women’s rights, than any other country in the world. Be grateful for all that flag stands for. Of course, we strive towards a better tomorrow. The foundation is built on solid ground. We don’t tear down the foundation of a house every time improvements are made. The foundation of the house is still the reason its standing. As we sit here, listening/reading your comment, there is an American basketball player begging for our intervention for her freedom. A freedom she took for granted and felt ashamed of. Now, in a country that hasn’t progressed forward in their justice systems, she is realizing just how important that freedom is! In America, she wouldn’t have spent a full night in jail. A slap on the wrist ...if that! Sadly, she voted for a President who won’t lift a finger to help her. He doesn’t have the respect or the ability to negotiate such a release.
As far as our government, the CIA especially, they’ve done some really rotten things throughout history. There’s no denying it! However, even their worst atrocities, are not comparable to Hitler, Stalin, the KGB, or the Chinese Communist Party. Plenty other regimes as well.
2ºNakia Nikki Green you are drunk.
Last I check, that American flag fought in the Civil War, that American justice system defended the Civil rights movements against a corrupt society, at that time Europe was selling people of color and buying them from African countries selling their neighbors... the UNITED STATES was the first, and only flag at that time to die to free black people, the only country that allowed protest. To this day, the United States flag is doing the absolute most to ensure equality for all races. Europe is 96% white, they are not including anybody in their communities.
You need to get your facts right.
3ºI feel that this is a good time to note that the NYPD budget for 2023 is $5-10Billion. With a B. That is at minimum 125 times more than what they are going to court for. In one year. For one city department. The department that has been royally screwing up. Because they, in addition to the other recent mass use of excessive force and incompetence at crowd control, they cost this man 20 years in prison.
And they refuse to shell out less a percent of that.
Giving them more money is doing nothing. It's time to slash that budget and make every settlement of wrongful conviction or police misconduct come out of the police retirement pension fund.
4ºIt still amazes me of how many people especially from these days of massive totally wrongful convictions , tout “American values” yet commit these despicable atrocities against innocent people, there will always be evil amongst us, because it is easier, fighting for truth and what is basically right takes energy and tenacity, it is written all over history, to me the greatest analogy is of how the sun takes SO much energy every day for billions of years to keep the cold dark vacuum from consuming us, when far too many humans succumb to the dark side , those who fight for basics rights and dignity have the power to shine and overcome! That my friends… IS written in the stars.
5ºPatty Juarez that money he won’t even see you know how many years they have to pay him you know how long that court case will last the man is aged prison system does things to your body McDonald’s can’t even do that stress has lasting effects and he has done more time in jail then some of us have been alive he dealt with that stress for that long smh I hope the grandkids of the judge who put him away do time they judge won’t do sick of this so called justice system ain’t nothing just about it
