I agree, I don’t hate people for having different views to me on anything (unless they support Brighton), hate is a very strong word. I disagree, I get annoyed when people fail to accept that they might just be wrong or retort in a patronising tone but never hate.

He's not stupid.

It's about worldview and what kind of world you think works both in practicality and what you feel communion with.

It's also about money....so essentially self interest, which changes perspective significantly.

I can safely say that none of my views benefit me financially....it's purely based upon the future for my children.

I think we need to let local areas decide what level of policing they require. The technology exists now to allow for far more local democracy to take place on a postcode by postcode basis.

So if the majority of people in a specific area do not want any stop & search, then so be it. In fact if they want no policing at all, who is somebody who lives outside that area to interfere? Make the response to crime far more sensitive to the level of policing desired by the local community. Then the police can truly be thought of as having the local community support.

It is clear that a one-size fits all approach is not working so let's try and ensure that people have more input into the process.

After all who does not want more community involvement in such matters?

It doesn't matter.

White cops dealing with blacks is all it needs.

It's never going to change while that continues. Whereas I believe you think reason can work. Personally I think that stage was passed long ago.

Owens is going to be a leader within the future Republican party but there isn't going to be any serious movement of blacks away from the Democrats, apart from entrepreneurs and pro whites.....For the vast majority the Democrats are their perceived meal ticket.

Maybe I am more optimistic that you are in any case I am more confused not at the anger but who they are blaming. The Democrats are doing a nice little shoe shuffle when in reality they more than anyone are responsible. If the Parish council decides to close the local library on a Wednesday you don't blame Boris.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the November elections at a local level. Will black people rubber stamp the same do nothing politicians or will start using their vote. It doesn't mean they have to vote Republican and not all Democrats are bad and of course there are also independents.
