    Drunk has an age limit, so does driving and drunk driving is illegal... wtf?

    Don’t you mean spending shifts guarding the house at night, never sleeping with both eyes closed? I know it feels like you ar the protagonist in this story...

    1 in 1000 is still not something to be concerned about when in most cases the cops are justified in their actions. My case stands.

    If it’s not something you care about, why are you posting about it?

    Cos the right-wing typically is distinguished by being dumb fucks in general. And also, the rest of the world having manners and not being the shitheads that 4chan is. See, if you have no boundaries, it's actually easy to create memes... If you have no taste, you can make a meme out of anything.

    Also, also, I think 4chan is actually anarchist rather than left or right. They'd join any political movement if that meant the world would burn down for their entertainment. So don't think they're actually right-wing, they're just mightily amused by Trump and everyone hating on each other. If the US broke out into a civil war tomorrow, 4chan would have to find a new hoster because the old one couldn't cope with the jerk off pics flooding the website. Degenerates be degenerates.

    If you're harassed by the police 2-4 times per week because you're black, that adds up to 104-208 interactions per year. By that statistic if you interact with police on that regular of a basis and are a young black man, you have a very high probably of being shot and killed by the police at some point in the next 5-10 years.

    Your case was hyperbolic nonsense, and you're still trying to defend it for some bizarre reason.

    Meanwhile, here's the perfect example of someone this law would leverage additional penalties on for wasting law enforcement time and being a racist bitch.

    And I totally believer her "black dad" means she's incapable of being racist as she accuses the dude of mugging someone and stealing their clothes, being illegal, claiming there's a second person behind him that will "snap her neck" and more.

    And the additional penalties would be well justified, because that's a malicious waste of police time and resources (our tax dollars) that puts a man who is simply going about his day at risk.

    Now I know you’re talking out your ass. No one gets harassed by the police 2 to 4 times per week.

    Wrong. Here is one case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Sampson

    He was arrested/stopped/searched from 2008-2013 288 fucking times, for "trespassing" at his place of employment.

    I am sure I can find probably thousands of similar fucking cases.

    Not concerned about 1 case. You’re making it sound like it happens to everyone that’s black or a much higher rate than 1.

    They really need to change the meaning of “don’t care” to be the same as “care”... it’s being abused otherwise...

    Yeah, it does... I’ve only been pulled over twice and they were harassment... You can claim it’s justified harassment, but it’s still you being harassed.

    Getting pulled over for being black, is harassment. Then they make up a reason, just so they can run the plates and license to make something else up on them.

    Can't help people who don't want to learn. If you actually cared, you'd look into it yourself. But you don't, so you won't. You'll find "issues" with every link people post - it's the concern trolling agenda where people like you exhaust the people trying to make the world better with your "I'm open to what you're saying, just show me some proof" - when the proof has already been provided to you in the news and in life and in these forums and you just don't want to know.

    I'm sure you'll answer this with your usual schtick. And it won't matter. You and your opinions won't matter anymore if Biden wins and the Senate flips. Even if that doesn't happen, we'll still move on without you. Ignorance won't be tolerated any more.

    Meanwhile, the CAREN act addresses a very particular issue that has become prevalent in our society not because it's new, but because everyone eyes are finally being opened to it. Systematic racism, in its almost infinite forms, has plagued this country for over 400 years.

    Because of people just like you, Caren.

    You say that, but they meme'd someone into the presidency.
