assistant: Police agencies don't mind being scrutinized by an unbiased civilian
agency.  Its the witch hunting gangs like copwatch parading around with
video cameras trying to trap cops into illegal activity that don't go
over very well.
The single most effective moderating body of law enforcement is their
constituency and the civil court system.  When they screw up, they get
sued.... and they lose.  You'd be surprised what a good standard that
creates.

This reminds me of a very special lady who I had the pleasure of working
with until just recently (She went on to a job that pays more than I
make). She was born profoundly deaf. She kidded me often about me being
"deaf impaired" <g>.
Over the course of nearly five years of working very closely with her, I
learned to be quite fluent in ASL, the American Sign Language.  Now when
a panhandler approaches me offering a little American flag lapel pin,
asking for a donation because he is "handicapped", I tell him in his own
tongue how to get a job.  I've even been surprised by an _audible_
response to have sex with myself <g>.

Hahaha.. but throwing money into education will? Maybe you haven't been in a

standards. Not because the kids are stupid, but the system keeps grinding

Write your reply.

assistant: From what I have read, it actually started out with indentured workers,
and slavery was adopted later. It was adopted in the English colonies
in North America because it was widespread in many other parts of the world.
South Africa faced international sanctions for years because of the
racial policies. Many South Africans preferred to endure the hardship
imposed by sanctions than to turn their country's administration over to
black rule. They felt they had reason to be concerned, considering the
models that they saw in the rest of the continent. African countries are
notoriously corrupt. There have been a lot of recent reports of grand
scale corruption in the new South Africa.
If you think South Africa is corrupt, I can't help but wonder how you
feel about countries like Uganda. Back in the 70's, they kicked all
asians out of the country.  It sounds like a racist regime to me. About
the same time, they underwent a civil war where people of various
ethnic groups throughout the country battled with other tribal groups.
That same sort of tribal warfare is going on in the neighboring countries
of Rwanda and Burundi where different ethnic/racial groups are committed
acts of genocide against each other.
In your estimation, which societies in the world today are the most racist?
My friend who recently spent time in asia thinks it's a tough call between
Japan and India.  My son who has been living in Uganda saw many incidents
of racism committed by asians against his Ugandan co workers, including
an assault.
If you are really concerned about racism, and you do harp about it
constantly, why do you carry on only about racism by whites?

 So he supplies the tools and the vehicles, pays the insurance and payroll
 taxes, does all the paperwork, sells the jobs, signs the contracts,
 supervises the job while juggling a number of jobs at the same time,
 holds off angry customers and creditors, pays the bills etc. All you
 and your friend have to do is show up and do the physical  work.
 If it's so darn easy to be the boss, why are you working for him instead
 of doing it on your own?  Why can't you borrow enough money to get the
 tools and go out and sell yourself the way he has to?
 This is drifting a little bit away from law enforcement topic. The only
 real connection here is that it is yet another example of how everyone
 is out to screw poor Ryan. Perhaps it's time you started to buy into the
belief system that allows you to get ahead instead of always blaming
someone else for your situation.

to sell one of their 3 Ferraris, or they had or they couldnt afford
that 600,000,000 dollar house in France and still keep they're other 3
houses in the Us, Switzerland, and the bahamas. At least the rest of
the people that make the whole company work would be able to support
their familys and have health benifits. I personnaly dont work for any
wage job, i'm am salaried, but i know several people that do, and being
in a company that folks in the top are alot better off and being so
high up seems to make it hard to see common sense and basic reasoning.

You seem to want to 'find' racism in the judice systme, if you look

attention, some little lexus driving around with tinted windows and
blasting his stereo (i've never heard a stereo thats legal driving
around here) or my Chevy Carpice Classic with a 350 short block V-8,
stright pipe exhaust system and drag slicks under the rear end? I'll
bet you 20 dollars that for every 30 lexus full of 17 year old black
boys with blasting stereos that go by, either my carpise or my buddys
camaro will be pulled first, simply because our cars look like thier
'up to no good'. thats just an example, you seem to think that being
black auto maticly makes you guilty of a crime, i'm 18 years old and a
white male, i can walk into any store, or down any street around here
have the cops look at me like i'm a theif, you just take that as being
racism, were as its the age group, not the race that plays a the part
of making you look guilty, and by the way, i'm from Virginia, and if
you acn hear your stereo out side you car thats too loud, the front
wind shield is NOT suppose to be tinted, rims are not suppose to extent
unresonably beyond the fenders, you must have 2 mirrors to tint the
front windows, and running without mufflers is illegal, as well as
after martket fog lights, so if i cop pulls you for any of those, then
hes with in is rights to do so. and it has nothing to do with the bases
of race. Or by your logic i could be pulled over in new york city by a
black cop because i'm driving a Camaro with a rusty walace sticker on
the back and hes doing it because i'm white. See you look hard enough,
you can find racism in everything.

Huh?  I have been aware of those things far longer than you have been

You try to make it a 100% case which is pure crap.  It isn't.
Education at many levels.  The poverty stricken to give them job
skills making them employable, the middle class to gain an increase in
job satisfaction, the wealthy so that they understand that education of
the masses comes back to them in the form of more qualified and better
employees, and the government so that it understands that just standing
back and throwing monies into welfare is not the solution.
See above.
What do you consider 'economic justice'?
Because we are not educating our nation and its people.  We don't want
the people on welfare, but we don't want to spend the money to educate
them either.
