President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Family of Milwaukee man who died of dehydration while in jail sues, alleging torture


Maybe if Sheriff Clarke didn't spend so much time on Fox News, he would have made sure this inmate had access to water.

Then he tries to defend what happened to the guy by saying that he broke the law and that was the chance he took.
Not in those words, exactly, but the reason the guy was in jail is irrelevant to the fact that Clarke was responsible for his safety.

 

Who do you blame for the four deaths in L.A. county jails?

 

Whoever runs the LA jails?

What's your point?

What does it have to do with Sheriff Uncle Tom?

Is this one of those if I'm going to criticize someone I don't like I have to criticize someone I do for something that you think is the same thing shit again?

It's really the only way you know how to argue, right?

 

Sounds to me like they have a problem with the screws at the LA County jail.

 

Bharara got his revenge. Any prosecutor worth his/her salt can make the most innocent of actions look sinister and that's what he did to Trump.

 

A. You shouldn't call anyone an Uncle Tom

2. I'm not a fan of Sheriff Clarke. He's a grandstander, who is riding his role as law and order, black conservative for all it's worth.

But, somehow, the only jail in the country where you noticed a problem was the jail he runs. Why is that?

I don't believe you give two fucks about what happened in his jail. If you did, you'd also be upset about what's happening in L.A. County. But, since you can't score any political points by referencing L.A. County, you not only didn't mention it, you likely weren't aware of the problems.

If you want to discuss jail/prison issues, it's a worthy topic, but limiting it to Milwaukee means you're only interested in politics.

 

Problem: Minority teachers fail test.

Solution: Scrap test.

Yeah. Let's keep teachers who can't pass a basic literacy test.

New York education officials are poised to scrap a test designed to measure the reading and writing skills of people trying to become teachers, in part because an outsized percentage of black and Hispanic candidates were failing it.

The state Board of Regents on Monday is expected Monday to adopt a task force's recommendation of eliminating the literacy exam, known as the Academic Literacy Skills Test.

Backers of the test say eliminating it could put weak teachers in classrooms. Critics of the examination said it is redundant and a poor predictor of who will succeed as a teacher.

"We want high standards, without a doubt. Not every given test is going to get us there," said Leslie Soodak, a professor of education at Pace University who served on the task force that examined the state's teacher certification tests.

The literacy test was among four assessments introduced in the 2013-2014 school year as part of an effort to raise the level of elementary and secondary school teaching in the state.

 

The lone reason you've been playing defense for several months now is that you're inordinately invested in politics. Because it sure can't be because of the man.

 

The jail deaths issue is a thing in Virginia.

 

Here's another doofus who can't understand that all brown people aren't Arab Muslims. I can't blame Indians for starting to wonder if it is safe to come to the United States.

1. He is an Uncle Tom, the textbook definition of one, in fact. And maybe instead of inserting himself into national debates he should focus on his own jurisdiction.

2. The subject is a guy who was deprived of water for several days. Yes, he flooded his cell so they had to shut off his water, but there's no reason they couldn't have given him bottled water to drink and remove it when he was done.

3. LA County has nothing to do with this. You're deflecting. Don't ever pull that shit again.

4). The Marciopa County deaths and inmate abuse was a problem. Now Joe Arpaio is out of office.
