No point in engaging with people who can't think rationally and are stubborn.

And yet you don’t even realize BiDeng is the sociopathic pathological lying charlatan whose about to get us into WWIII. BiDeng is a reckless low IQ president. How these truths elude the left is astonishing.

What makes you believe a false preacher whose a Marxist and who has a history of inflicting domestic abuse is a better candidate? If you’re solely choosing your candidate based on character, Warnock falls short. Unless you’re choosing your candidate based on ideology which his is antithetical to our constitutional republic.

Lots of folks on social media claimed such, and lots of people weren't exactly happy about the convictions of the officers.

I’m sorry in having to enlighten you, but the police aren’t the issue in the black community. Black victims are more likely to be victimized by those who live in their community.
You're not "enlightening" me on anything seeing as though I've been Black all my life, but I'd like to point out that people of all races are more likely to be victimized by their neighbors, who tend to belong to the same racial group.

And yes, the police are very much an issue in predominantly Black poor urban communities (and being an issue goes well beyond civilian deaths at the hands of police) and that is directly related to persistent crime issues in said communities.

whose a Marxist
Are Marxists like the new racists or something? Everybody throws this label around but nobody bothers to explain what it means or why it's disqualifying.

Quote:
and who has a history of inflicting domestic abuse
This is false: https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...ction-case-dr/

You have failed to demonstrate such. Warnock has no documented history of inflicting domestic abuse on anyone, and that's the only thing you mentioned related to character. Theological differences are irrelevant as religious tests are not administered in the U.S. as a prerequisite for public office. And Marxist belongs with socialist, communist, fascist, nationalist, etc.--you can't be a member of Congress without having at least one of those labels pinned on you by political opponents. Voters largely tune out when this happens since they are virtually meaningless when everybody is supposedly at least one of them.

The truth of the matter is that Sen. Warnock is eminently qualified to occupy the office of U.S. senator. Carpetbagger Herschel Walker isn't qualified to be dogcatcher.

Another accusation made here against Warnock is that he called the police "thugs" and cut police funding.
Wrong.
https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...ed-police-thu/

As usual you need to know the context. Warnock said in a 2015 sermon
"And as they gathered in Selma — or was it Ferguson?" Warnock said at one point. "They were met with overwhelming brute force. The truth of the matter is, the road to Ferguson goes through Selma, 50 years later."

"So, in Ferguson, police power (is) showing up in a kind of gangster and thug mentality. You can wear all kinds of colors and be a thug. You can sometimes wear the colors of the state and behave like a thug."


"The bottom line is that Warnock used the word "thug" to describe certain specific police behaviors, evoking police violence in Selma and referencing police practices in Ferguson."

As for cutting police funding, that's a flat out lie.
Meanwhile, Warnock has not "cut" police funding. He sponsored a bill to help small police departments hire and keep officers. He also voted for the American Rescue Plan, which provided billions of dollars to states and local jurisdictions to invest in police departments and other efforts to secure communities.



Here's a longer article on Warnock giving more context.

No matter what side of the political spectrum you sit at, the overwhelming vast majority of Americans were appalled at the actions of these officers including myself. In my 20 years as a police officer, I had never seen such malfeasance in restraining a subject who is clearly high and emotionally disturbed.

As I have stated, police aren’t the issue in black neighborhoods, male blacks are the issue in black neighborhoods for 3% of the population make up 60% of the known murder offenders according to the latest FBI statistics. This figure also doesn’t include data from the LAPD and NYPD. Male blacks make up 7% of the US population and when you figure out age groups, about 3% of the population is responsible for 60% of the homicides. These are the facts.

A black person is more likely to be a victim in their neighborhood than a person of any other race being a victim in the neighborhood they reside in. Police are not the issue in black communities, full stop!
