Hopefully the police stop rioting against peaceful protesters then.

Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

Nobody cares about what you don't like, they barely care about what you do like.
Considering I work in telephone surveying now, it really depends on if this was an online poll or not and what kind of sample they are using if it's phone-based. I know the company I work for prioritizes Cell Phones, but it's rare I speak to anyone younger than their 30's and most people I speak to are 50+. That age gap gets worse when we do call landlines, so it seems to me that younger folks by and large just don't know/care about how it skews polls if nobody but the older political fanatics take em.
Morning Consult is incredibly vague on how they actually aquire their data on their website, and I haven't trusted online polls for years now.
Good question. It goes back before the war on drugs.
The Police Force and security forces were used as tools to keep black people in their place from the slavery days right through the segregation era. And the police did so pretty violently. Unfortunately, when segregation ended, deliberate action was needed to clean up the police but that never happened. That’s why there’s still long entrenched bias against minorities within the police force. The aforementioned war on drugs didn’t help either which is still a problem to this day as black people are far more likely to convicted of drug possession and use despite blacks and whites using the drugs at the same rate.
Today, minority communities (which were largely created by redlining) are largely over policed by folks that aren’t familiar with those communities. That’s why there’s so much friction because the police and minorities, it’s like the country is waging war against them.
Granted, I'm probably the most likely here to speak out against ancedotal evidence, but I'm curious what kind of conversations you guys are hearing about the protests.
People in their 30s aren't going to be excited about things not being safe for their kids and elderly parents.

I can understand people like those. They feel like your "wake up" moment came too late in a country where the signs have been around for decades. OTOH I don't like that kind of elitism. There was a individual of African descent on these threads before and after Donny won he went fell attack mode on all white people. To the point of of not even having sympathy for the woman who died in charlettesville because she was white. Personally I find that kind of behavior as bad as the alt-right as it makes you the same kind of "either your with us 1000% of the time for the beginning of time or you are less than human". We need less dehumanization, not more.
We are not supposed to chat about things unrelated to the survey, so I've had no conversations about it. BTW, what you said fits a decent percentage of folks in their 20's as well, since people are still having kids then and even in their teens.
As an aside, a few tips: Don't hang up on people who are calling you for surveys or whatever, they'll just keep calling back. Even if there are many more companies out there who have your number, saying 'Take Me Off Your List' works for that one, and it's better to be polite to someone who's just doing their job as opposed to doing this out of some sort of malice. I can guarantee we aren't in control of when we call any number and actively don't want to bother anyone.
I have a feeling they were talking about my home town of Cicero. Right now the town is closed for a large protest. I also wish people would learn to distinguish between gang members and regular citizens when they talk about people in regard to yesterday.
Isn't that illegal to take photos of houses without consent of the owner to use for ads? Also hell yes that's unnerving ! I dont get the reason for this, just help fix the neighborhood. Money is money, and it should not matter who it's coming from. I hate these guys so much.
I'm not tap dancing anything here. I'm saying a lot of people who were at one tim Republican did not view the race thing as in some cases, especially locally, that aspect was not on the table. Do I think there shit is racist, of course, but if were ever going to be able to help former members of said other party change there views we have to see what they saw so we can get them to see though the lies. Again I point to Liz Warren and The Rock as examples.
We've been able to stanch it some what, but theres still groups that want to come in and push people out. Our town is heavily influenced by the large minority and immigrant population, always has been.
1. Thank you for your service.
2. Agreed. Hell he had Nixon's lawyer involved in this. Also we need to talk about the lobby groups that put their two cents into this.
OH WBE! Got someone for the Democrat of the Day.
@RepEliotEngel heard on hot mic asking @rubendiazjr for a turn to speak, says twice, "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care."
Diaz responds, "Don't do that to me."

Maybe the police should stop responding to protests against their violence with more violence?
They're still killing unarmed black men in the streets. They're tear gassing peaceful protesters. After their photo ops, natch. They're firing at reporters. They're getting caught causing destruction to property on camera.
MAYBE THE POLICE ARE STILL THE PROBLEM.
God forbid we address the issue that people are upset about. Let's respond with greater physical force!

His name was David McAtee.
He was shot dead by Police A day ago. They had all their body cameras turned off. They left his body in the street for hours.
Cops in Seattle were putting their knees on people's necks just a day or two ago.
You cannot continue doing the thing people are upset about and expect tensions to go down.
I've been lurking mostly for a while now as dialing so much causes my arms to ache (Cell phones cannot be AutoDialed we are told) but I noticed that come up a few times in the past day or 2 on this thread. I can see how it might have been missed, but it has been posted.
If that is the business owner in Louisville the police have said there is security video that they have from another store that shows him holding a gun and shooting three shots at police. I havnt seen the video so i cant say. I am going to hold off until I see what they claim to have.
