Police: Iowa woman said she ran over 14 year old girl because she was Mexican

Well there is no human trafficking unit, and no gun trafficking unit, I guess there is no need for a narcotics unit,.

I do think narc officers do help prevent crime. The move up the chain of command, cutting deals, which does prevent crimes, Get informants. Narcotics officers must have a BA, study a second language and know it. Take computer sciences as well, plus other courses. They are paid more too. Down grading their job will or could make their jobs obsolete. When they let police go because of funding, not in the budget, they let their higher paid workers go first, in order to fire the least number of people. . Narcotics officers make a minimum of 63k a year and are probably top of the list. I think they hold the title of Sargent.

so you are probably right about cuts in the budget,

regarding airports and corruption, letting certain people through. I recall years back there was an incident with a customs officer at the airport who used his pass to launder drug money for gun traffickers and drug traffickers, as well as being involved in the smuggling between Atlanta Georgia and Jamaica.

the biggest problem in the world is power and that power the person believing they unaccountable, or are unaccountable and go unchecked,

as Abraham Lincoln said
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I have always said I hate power, I really do.

that is the problem with most governments, and groups that gather together, they feel powerful as a group, don’t dispute or speak against the group even when knowing it is morally, ethically and criminally wrong in the violent that can erupt.

 

Not everyone given power abuses it, but many do, wether that be power in numbers or power in a government.

justifying one sides actions, when the equivalent happens on the other side. Neither, to me, is justifiable.

 

Even when you are charging your iPhone?

 

Both sides should be coming together in agreement and not finger pointing as a left and right wing issue.

 

Lol. Funny, unfortunately I have sworn off technology when I am out and about. No iPhone, smart phone. so I have refused to be empowered. Lol

 

This is a BS story, I hope. Leaning towards bs, and is left propaganda to show racism, where again, the man saying he is Egyptian was actually respectful.
People from Egypt do not consider themselves African, they are Egyptian, nothing more and nothing less. Egypt is both a NORTH African and middle eastern country. It is a Mediterranean middle eastern transcontinental country located in North Africa and West Asia.

the judge was rather stupid in my opinion. This pan African illusion only exists outside of Africa. African is not a geographical term, same as west asian and middle eastern. People do not see any reason they should identify with an entire continent. That is like saying a person from Brazil is a South American, not a Brazilian.

as a left wing person one would think you should know this. It is like saying a Vietnamese person and a Japanese are simply one, asian, but that is like night and day.

being African does not equate to being black, nor does it mean you are white. It can be both, or neither. For the judge to say all Egyptians are African is ridiculous, as well as him showing he has little understanding of cultures and the people of Egypt, as well as the people from that area of the world and how they view themselves.

 

You are wrong again. (1) The man was a Negro, and born in Egypt, and was in Indiana. (2) The famous civil rights case is listed in Federal Case Law and is an important part of teaching in every law school in America. (3) I learned about it in BIG UNIVERSITY located in Colorado. That's in the western region of America, next to New Mexico (which Donald Trump did not appear to know was also a part of America) and it's home to the Rocky Mountains.

 

I think its likely that story stands on itself, and is not an example of how everybody else thinks.

 

1. since when does America federal law define a person and what they refer to themselves as when that one considers themselves Egyptian? You are wrong and what I stated above is correct, This pan African illusion only exists outside of Africa. It is a Mediterranean middle eastern transcontinental country located in North Africa and West Asia. To define it as one or the other is incorrect,

2. I do not care which Big University you claim to be from, or that is next to New Mexico. As for it being home to the Rocky Mountains, Canadians probably disagree with this. Colorado mountains don’t compare to the magnificence of the rocky mountains in Canada. Is this statement suppose to elevate you and your supposed knowledge in some way? Is so, you get a fail.

3. Countries do not identify with a continent, they identify with a small area of a land mass, An Egyptian does not consider himself or herself African.

4. Africa Was originally used by romans in reference to Tunisia and meant sunny land. It took 2000 years for the western world to call the entire continent that, to which many in this area do not recognize it as their ethnicity as African!
Are Canadians actually North Americans to you? I think not!

 

the judges used the argument that it being said the man is not African, but is Egyptian was in fact true and it is a western world label, people from that area identify with their tribe, not the entire continent. The judge sort of insinuated white man being racist against Africans and tried to act superior in his supposed knowledge.

the word Negro is a word that is used in both Spanish and Portuguese and means black. Someone from Egypt would in no way identify with with this term, which fell out of popularity in the 1970s. It was mostly used in North America
as Negro was considered the correct and proper term for African Americans at the time. When the man said he is not Negro, he was correct. The man was not African American.

He may have been a really shitty boss for all I know and racist, I don’t know the case. but to use this as evidence of racism today seems pretty weak or as racism in the past against African Americans.

I am not saying racism doesn’t exist, it does, or that it hasn’t in the past, it has. Simple fact is that the reference above is weak.

 

Wait...seriously?

 

Yes … sadly it is true. During his tweets about his stupid border wall, he said he wanted the wall to go around New Mexico. There are posts on HF about it.

 

Another troublesome aspect is the focus on the term semite, which seems to mean different things to different people and in different languages.

 

The fact that the word negro was used in a court defines it as a very old case. The nearing of the word was different back then and does not apply to today’s definition, which will change again in the next ten years or less, possibly, judging by the way things are going. African American may not even exist as an identity.

changing meanings like this and applying it to today is simply bs.

 

A prerequisite for being president of the United States should include elementary school level geography

 

You would think so... wouldn't you.

 

Maybe he plans on giving New Mexico and a lot of Texas back to its former owners?

 

Don't forget that man claimed he talked on the phone with the President of Puerto Rico, right after the big Hurricane.

 

It was a perfect phone call

 

It was great, believe me. It was the greatest phone call.
