  • 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.

It is funny that we have a river here that separates the Big city from the suburbs. The distance is small but the difference in the police is huge. If you mess with the police in the big city you may get a boot on your neck, head or back. They would never ever treat people like that in the suburb. If they did we would elect a new mayor that would ban behavior like that. So the police in different cities do things different.
Police only use force if you resist arrest. They’re not allowed to use force if you break the law then comply with their orders.

From personal experience, if the cop is having a bad day, you’re going to get roughed up a bit to a lot, regardless of one’s compliance level.

Not a problem if you are a part of the good olé boys club.

From my personal experience that’s never happened. But I guess it could depend on the nature of the offense as well.

The judge pointed to Tarrio’s messages cheering on the Capitol attack and the Proud Boys’ role in it.

“Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote in one message. “We did this.

“Now it’s our turn,” said Tarrio, who received the longest sentence in the riot for mobilizing his right-wing group as an “army” to keep Trump in power through violence as Congress met to confirm the 2020 election. Trial evidence showed that he and his lieutenants, inspired by Trump’s directive to “stand by” during a 2020 presidential debate and join a “wild” protest on Jan. 6, drew scores of followers to Washington who helped instigate the mob at the Capitol.

Tarrio called into Infowars.com, the web stream hosted by pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, hours after his Tuesday release

“The people who did this, they need to feel the heat. They need to be put behind bars and they need to be prosecuted,” Tarrio said. “Success is going to be retribution.

“We’ve got to do everything in our power to make sure that the next four years sets us up for the next hundred years.”

Oh, why not go for the whole tausend Jahre?

Moreso the nature of the officer.
