That's not what we were talking about so that's not the point I noted was uncontested.
Why do I need to?

Blame Whitey !!!
that is the point I am talking about
-and-
it is contested
-
bennett turned it into a racial thing
-and-
bennett has an agenda
It wasn't the point WE were talking about when you dragged a quote on what we were into it. And then you made the same assertions about believing that I'd already corrected.
Peculiar.
I should imagine it would be.
That's your assumption. Rather, it was in part about race, or he got that part wrong. Neither you nor I know the truth on that point, which is why I've noted the assertions without "believing" them.
Everyone involved has an agenda.
it is a fact that bennett turned it into a racial thing -
he is now working with 'black lives matter' which is responsible for many police being shot
If race played a part in what transpired then his noting it wasn't the thing that made it so any more than I should be charged with arson for telling you that your house burned down.
The rest is about whether or not he's right in that portion of his belief. I don't know. You don't know. I'm not sure how we can even ever really know, absent a history of profiling coming to light on the part of the officers. And even that wouldn't necessarily mean that this was the same.
You're being as irresponsible as someone would be if they said the movement to preserve Confederate memorials is responsible for murdering the young woman in Charlottesville. BLM is a young movement still finding its legs and larger identity. Some elements in it are cancerous and some productive. Again, true of most social movements predicated in a response to human suffering and injustice, at least in their genesis. To label, brand the entirety in a singularly negative and violent light is, at best, woefully underthought.
let's see if we can end this -
three of us are on a jury -
bennett is suing the police -
all we have is his letter and the letter from the police union -
the third guy votes guilty -
I vote not guilty
-and-
you get the deciding vote
-so-
what is it?
annabenedetti
like marbles on glass
And the gallery waits for the verdict:
An irresponsible and pointless exercise. There's more evidence than you presented. That evidence needs to be seen and understood. Trying to judge it solely by what Bennett said and what the PR arm of the other parties involved said doesn't make a lot of sense.
He is back.
Long story but here is the short version.
I lost my password and couldn't get back on.
Someone found me wandering around and helped me to get back.
I am sure it will be different
I am different

I have been working on my blog which I believe is the best way to document my research on the Apocalypse
