  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Like Derek Chauvin.
What about kneeling on a man’s neck for 9 minutes is “calm”? Surely it was a life or death situation, but not for Derek Chauvin.

My point was that he should have reacted emotionally to George Floyd's situation.

But if that is so, then we can't blame the policewoman in the O.P. for getting emotional.

This woman is more than just emotional. She is having an anxiety attack over having to wait for her McDonald meal. What I see here is a self-absorbed, overworked police officer who is making extremely poor judgments.

I half expect a rip in the fabric of time to happen any minute. The world has just regressed back to kindergarten. Is like the maturity level just dropped since this coronavirus. Are we sure there is not some dumb down drug in our water supply.

Remember when there were real newspaper men and women who reported the news.

It's really sad that people are being victimized because of their profession or who they are. Then if they show any human emotion they are berated for not being robots. We should have compassion for the lady in the video and pray for her. Not pick one group to praise and another to condemn.

If I had been her, nobody would see me lose it the way she did. I feel for her and have compassion for her too. But her profession requires emotional stability. She cannot be breaking down like that on the job. That is why I said she needs a break; some time off for refreshment. Burnout happens in high stress jobs like she has. I hope she takes a vacation.

What about that situation makes you feel like she’s being victimized?

I'll show her compassion as soon as she secures her sidearm.

It doesn't appear so. But it also doesn't appear that the workers even knew the milkshakes were for cops when they made them. They were ordered online and waiting for them when they got there.

Was that in another article? I didn't see it in mine...

I don't see how that means they couldn't have tampered with them anyway. The cops show up and someone has to get their order once they do....right? It's also possible they picked it up in uniform before and a worker remembered the number was a cop.

That's pretty harsh...

I've saw a video recently of a black delivery man who broke down crying because someone in the neighborhood asked him what he was doing there....

Nobody made fun of him and he wasn't even in any danger.

Yes it was. The ‘Poisoned’ Shake Shack Milkshakes and an N.Y.P.D. on Edge You seem to be going all out to try to make this out as an intentional attack rather then a accident.

Yes among those civilized they'd be looking at the pain, sorrow and grief being experienced by all sides wanting peace and resolution for everyone. Very sad some almost are gleeful in seeing this dear woman weep. I hope I'm just misreading some of the posts.

Black FedEx driver, Brandon Brackins, spat on and called the n-word The man who ambushed him nearly ran him over, then spat on him, then called him a racial slur. Officer Stacey was asked to pull forward in a drive through because her food was not ready yet.

Actually I was thinking of this one...

‘I literally cried for hours’: Black delivery driver speaks after being blocked in Oklahoma neighborhood

Cried for hours because his vehicle was blocked and he was asked a few questions....

What do you think? Anxiety attack? Self absorbed? Over worked? Making extremely poor judgements?

I only read the one article and it didn't include that there was video footage.

If there was, you're right, it's just a coincidence. If there wasn't any video footage....yeah, I'd be suspicious. It would be a rather remarkable coincidence that only the shakes for the cops made anyone sick....especially at a time when hatred for police is at an all time high.

Let's not pretend that you have any idea what this guy's lifetime experience is. I don't even know what makes you think you can assume such a thing. Is it the color of his skin?

How is that the same? This man was on the job making deliveries when two white men approached him and started harassing him, blocking his vehicle and even calling the police on him.

I don't. Nor can you pretend to know that isn't the case. I'm just a 54 year old white male who has no clue what it's like to be asked "what are you doing here?
