Well, I do think using a switch on your kid is going a bit far. But I do believe an occasional, judicious swat, using your hand can be effective. Just don't overdo it!

That guy could get in a lot of trouble. He fired 9 shots, 5 after the guy was already down. Not that I blame him really. I guess we'll see how the prosecutor interprets the situation.

Notice Mr Crump. (I think Dr Suess wrote about him)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nytpYtLtHpE

Mr Crump is a merchant of death. Cashing in on the death of black males. The grim reaper lottery.

In a city that 65% black, black police chief, and 5 black cops involved ..................the death of TYRE NICHOLS can still be considered......

white supremacy ?????.....................https://newsone.com/4493923/tyre-nichol ... supremacy/

I raised the same point with (liberal) friends last night, and I got an earful. Different opinions among the group but the 2 main points being argued against me were:

1. There can be "systematic racism" against blacks (particularly black males) even if the perpetrators in a given instance are themselves black.

2. There is a culture problem in a lot of police forces; i.e., accepting a glorifying violence against perps, and assuming the worst about black males.
