Because, despite the GOP's bluster and frothing at the mouth, they can't find a valid legal reason for impeachment.
Impeachment is a political remedy, not a legal one. Pres. Obama could have been impeached on many counts. Let's just take his penchant for legislating from the executive branch, in violation of the Constitution which states in Article 1, Section 1 that "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." You're intelligent and informed, so I needn't cite the examples where Pres. Obama has contravened this.
Impeachment is a political loser, as we saw with Pres. Clinton. Here was a guy who was credibly accused of rape, settled a sex harassment case for over $800,000, and was caught in a liason (Monica Lewinsky) which my ultra-liberal HR colleague admitted would have gotten him summarily terminated from my company, yet he scored points politically from being impeached. That is why the GOP has not, and will not, make any move to impeach Pres. Obama.
I say NOT ONE Darn PENNY!!!!
They do not need 263 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE TAXPAYERS
Im sorry the Liberals have fed this Beast and we should not be paying for it. Not ONE PENNY for body cameras expanded training let them hold fundraisers have them get Sharpton and Jackson back to raise money for their town that they helped to destroy with their Racism.
This is just a escalated version of Jena 6.
I no longer believe any "heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a specific racial background".
Why? This case.
It's 100% clear that Brown was a thug who got himself killed through his own behavior, yet it appears the majority of black people feel this was the "heavy hand of law enforcement" on black people. If they refuse to open their eyes and acknowledge the truth, then I refuse to believe them. When you are screaming at the top of your lungs that clouds are made of cotton candy, sorry if I don't believe you when you scream other things that I can't confirm.
Does this mean there are not bad cops? No. It just means that most black people blame EVERYTHING on racism even when it obvious there isn't.
When you include racism from the blacks, perhaps everything has to do with it.
I know that for several posters in this thread it would seem a mystifying concept, but the reality is that Black lives matter, and the failure to eliminate the disparity between how the heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a specific racial background is a problem that is far more important than the petty self-centered rationalizations some folks try to use to whine about how the costs of making society fairer will adversely impact their own personal comfort and luxury.
For those posters still mystified by why a change is needed...
Whether the shootings are justified or not is not the only issue. There is a pattern of excessive disparity between how the heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a specific racial background that cannot be explained by physiological factors. That means, despite puerile evasions, that there is something that needs to be rectified such that the changes in law enforcement and changes to the environment within which the law enforcement in question takes place combine to result in no significant disparity between how the heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a different racial backgrounds. Or economic backgrounds for that matter. Or with regard to any other protected classes. They are protected classes because of injustice. Whining about the cost to be paid attributing to the aftereffects of past injustice is antisocial and even a bit childish. Myopic black-hating, poor-hating, other-hating perspectives are unacceptable.
