Saw that on the news. The accused is also an atheist who has stated that religions in general cause a lot of the problems in the world. Seems there was also a long standing dispute about parking. Better to wait for investigation to be over.

There has to be more to this. Theda Wilson for starters is not the mayor. Was interim mayor for a period of time in 2014 and continues to call herself such.

The victims were more often female, with 24 female cases compared with 17 males, researchers found.

The researchers also catalogued the type of electronic media or social media used.

Social networking sites were used in 48 per cent of all the suicide cases, while messaging (text, pictures or video) were used in 25 per cent of the cases.

Facebook was used in cyberbullying most often, cited in 27 per cent of cases, while Facebook combined with messaging of pictures, videos and texts were used in 13 per cent.

Six Unforgettable Cyberbullying Cases

They have a lot of faith in their K-9 unit.

In the last decade, the employment of the Buffalo Soldiers by the United States Army in the Indian Wars has led a few historical revisionists to call for the "critical reappraisal" of the "Negro regiments." In this viewpoint, shared by a small minority, the Buffalo Soldiers (Black troops) were used as mere shock troops or accessories to the forcefully-expansionist goals of the U.S. government at the expense of the Native Americans and other minorities.

As to the Nisei, they would 'escape' the field hospitals, rear areas to get back to their units or would simply refuse to leave the front line.

Escaping the rear to get back to the fighting doesn't sound to me like they were being used as expendable fodder to save whites. Though it would seem that there are some who wish to deny the sacrifices and courage of segregated units. They fought harder because they had to prove themselves as good / better than white troops. I think they succeeded.

Racial attitudes of the times and fear, the rights movement hadn't occurred as yet. However the segregated regiments usually performed better than their all white counterparts.

... Despite some official resistance and administrative barriers, black airmen were trained and played a part in the air war in Europe, gaining a reputation for skill and bravery (ie: Tuskegee Airmen). In early 1945, after the Battle of the Bulge, American forces in Europe experienced a shortage of combat troops so the embargo on using black soldiers in combat units was relaxed. The American Military History says:

Faced with a shortage of infantry replacements during the enemy's counteroffensive, General Eisenhower offered Negro soldiers in service units an opportunity to volunteer for duty with the infantry. More than 4,500 responded, many taking reductions in grade in order to meet specified requirements. The 6th Army Group formed these men into provisional companies, while the 12th Army Group employed them as an additional platoon in existing rifle companies. The excellent record established by these volunteers, particularly those serving as platoons, presaged major postwar changes in the traditional approach to employing Negro troops.

The last of these segregated units was disbanded in 1951.

Segregated regiments go back to the Indian Wars however where all Black regiments earned a reputation for honor and courage.

Ever heard of the Nisei?

President Roosevelt announced the formation of the 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, saying, "Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry."

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of American warfare.[3] The 4,000 men who initially came in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 2.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served, earning 9,486 Purple Hearts. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (5 earned in one month).[28]:201 Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honor.[2] Members of the 442nd received 18,143 awards, including:

... 21 Medals of Honor (the first awarded posthumously to Private First Class Sadao Munemori, Company A, 100th Battalion, for action near Seravezza, Italy, on 5 April 1945; 19 upgraded from other awards in June 2000)

... 52 Distinguished Service Cross (including 19 Distinguished Service Crosses which were upgraded to Medals of Honor in June 2000

... Distinguished Service Medal

... 560 Silver Stars (plus 28 Oak Leaf Clusters for a second award

... 22 Legion of Merit Medals

... 15 Soldier's Medals

... 4,000 Bronze Stars (plus 1,200 Oak Leaf Clusters for a second award; one Bronze Star was upgraded to a Medal of Honor in June 2000. One Bronze Star was upgraded to a Silver Star in September 2009.)

... 9,486 Purple Hearts

... On 5 October 2010, the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the 100th Infantry Battalion, and Nisei serving in the Military Intelligence Service.

Santa cops distribute $100 bills in Longueuil

An 18-year-old black teenager has been fatally shot by police at a gas station in Berkeley, a suburb of St Louis, Missouri. The incident took place near where unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed by a white officer in August.

St Louis County Police Department said a police officer shot and killed by a man who drew a handgun. A gun was recovered at the scene.

An angry crowd has gathered at the scene - a Mobile petrol station.

The victim has not been identified by the police, but was name locally as Antonio Martin.

Hundreds of protesters are reported to have gathered at the Mobile gas station in Berkeley, Missouri where the teenage victim was killed.

The station is being protected by police dressed in riot gear.



Antonio Martin shooting: surveillance footage shows victim raising a gun


Looking at the surveillance video the victim does indeed seem to be pointing a weapon at the officers and the weapon was found at scene.

Cowards !!! Will attack a school but take on a military base with troops .......

This actually made me laugh.

While at why not just separate towns / cities / states into ethnic- cultural districts. Each can tax their own to pay for that separate policing after all eventually each will say "Why should I pay for their police?". Have armed checkpoints between each to prevent cross-over crime (be sure to have all your papers ready when going to work and to leave at least an hour earlier in case of a line-up). Also to speed other emergency services will require fire / ambulance/ hospital for each district (those nasty taxes going up now).

Remember to throw this out the window while at it....

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Will also want a good supply of body bags per district since separating people based on ethic / cultural lines with separate policing won't do much to alleviate the situation.

No indictment in Ferguson case

Perhaps those doing the study never heard of Kennesaw Georgia.

In 1982 the city passed an ordinance [Sec 34-21]

(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.

(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

Wrong. Under Quebec law unless you are a direct victim of a crime ( in this case being a parent that has lost a child due to a crime) you cannot be compensated by Victim Compensation. No charges files = no crime committed so no Victim Compensation. Though at the moment all the family wants is ....... a straight answer to the question WHY did it happen?
