The Ferguson thread

I guess I misunderstood.
It sure sounded to me as if you thought the police department was part of the problem.
I guess it was just the bad city government.

The police department WAS part of the problem, but fault doesn't solely lie with them. The city administration was equally, if not more culpable. It's naïve to believe that the officers that participated in fleecing the populace did so on their own accord, and without the knowledge of city officials. So yes, you misunderstood.

I must have missed something. When did the DOJ study become settled science? The last I recall hearing about it was John Lott having issues with the stats. I thought that the targeting claimed wasn't necessarily accurate. I'm not pushing back, I'm just thinking I missed something.

Lott's issues is with the racial component of the report. There's a difference of opinion concerning that, so I'm not bring up that part. Lott doesn't address the city's shameful revenue generating scheme.

I think I understood you quite well.
If you think I didn't, you are entitled to your opinion.

You said it, and I agreed. Now you're flip flopping? But you are entitled to be inconsistent.

I forgot the purple.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I forgot the purple.

Ok, I'll allow it, no need to press the issue.

 

[Doug]

My goodness, how convinced you are of your significance.

I did miss something, then. Thanks for pointing it out.

See, I was going to let it go... and then you had to go there. I pointed out your flip flopping on understanding, and misunderstanding me. You said you "forgot the purple," which unless you have an epically bad short term memory, is a falsehood (and I'm being nice in calling it that).

I guess I misunderstood.

So you forgot to use purple for the first part of the post, but remember it for the last part? Don't con me bro.

I can see why you get ignored a lot.

 

[Kutnupe14]

[Doug]

I'm done feeding you.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I'm done feeding you.

I keep trying to figure out why I still read the updates to this thread...

 

[tmschuller]

same here last time I am looking at this thread... can someone just close it?...

That's kinda what I was thinking, too.

When they degenerate into interpersonal arguments that have naught to do with the original issue, there's not much more point, nor much more to discuss.

Ergo, closed.
