I saw this. If sleeping on the train on the way home from work is cause for arrest, the jails will be full of tired workers. The NYPD is one of the most corrupt organizations in the US. The case of Adrian Schoolcraft has proven that beyond any doubt whatsoever. While its hard to argue that the NYPD isn't full of bad, sometimes vicious, corrupt asshoIes, these were MTA transit cops. They're not NYPD. There's been change at the top of the NYPD too, since we got the new mayor. |

Plus, still frames from the video (link) show "NYPD Police" clearly printed on the back of one or more cop's jacket. Could there be only one or two NYPD cops there and the rest MTA? Remotely possible but bloody unlikely. The NYPD likes to assault from the protection of groups. It makes lying about their arrests more credible when you have fellow corroborators. |

Possibly, new cops just starting out as new academy grads were just assigned. Many PD officers do not live in NYC and may only go into the subway when they're on the job. |

I didn't watch the whole video, just the first 3 minutes. That's all I needed to see. The guy did nothing wrong initially. Also police have the freedom to intervene when someone is sleeping on the subway, because subways aren't for sleeping in. Also they might have an incentive to check on people in that situation because for all they know they could have had a medical emergency and died there in their seat. Or maybe they want to see if he was a homeless person who's just sleeping on the subway with no destination. Anyways the guy was being combative. You can be arrested for being combative even if there wasn't a crime beforehand. |

Some think Lyndon Johnson was not one of our best presidents.
But Johnson did pass the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, and that was and is a really big deal.
Today I saw one effect of outlawing dscrimination in education. In 1964 there were 365,000 African American bachelor's degrees awarded. In 2014 5.1 million were awarded.
Imagine how many lives are changed by that!
One more thought; if you think there is no role for government, try to imagine this outcome without government's involvement.
A number of federal laws protect individuals from being discriminated against in education. This article provides links and information on the Education Amendments of 1972, the Civil Rights Act of 1964. |

stop racism and make love :-)
yeah , this is the solution....... Racism is not a tv which can be switched off. It is a disease which has to be cured, it has to treated and fixed. To treat and fix something takes time. Making love is technically coitus and that will just increase the population. So what's the solution? FUCKING THE RACISM OFF? |

The problem in America is not "black vs. white". The bigger problem is "US citizen vs. illegal immigrant". There are not enough jobs, and the welfare system is being overwhelmed. For the most part black and white should be on the same "team". It's not about race, it's about resources and the rule of law.

You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to.Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

For the most part black and white should be on the same "team". It's not about race, it's about resources and the rule of law. The Blacks and the whites can never be in the same team, at least in the United States. Radical fringe groups (many of them supported by the two mainstream political parties) have been igniting the hatred between them for many years now, possibly to consolidate the vote-banks. So the issue about illegal immigration is treated as just another race problem, when it should be treated as a law and order problem instead. |

Tptb are using the mainstream media to foment a kind of race war so that they can usurp the constitution and gain more power in the guise of "keeping us safe". They are slowly taking over our police forces just like in Baltimore.

Good information, Without Government involvement it is not that easiest task as all think, whatever the good or stringent things to happen in the country, there must be a role of government. " Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too", told by Richard Nixon. |

there is definitely racism that still exists. it's just that you can't be as open about it these days, so probably more closet racists than anything. a lot of people from the south a xenophobic and fear minorities coming in and taking "their country" back. that's what sarah palin meant when she said she wanted to take "OUR country" back.
Obama recently said that racism is much more than just people not saying the n word in public. That is not the cure, he states. It should be felt from heart that we all are equal and belong to the same mother, and belong from the aame mother. It was the first time Obama said the n word publicly though, haha. |
