Trump's response, with quote in video and transcript: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/21/politics/trump-police-shooting-response/
"This young officer, I don't know what she was thinking. I don't know what she was thinking, but I'm very, very troubled by that and we have to be very careful," Trump said, referring to the officer who fatally shot Crutcher. The officer, Betty Shelby, is 42 years old.
"I must tell you, I watched the shooting in particular in Tulsa and that man was hands up, that man went to the car -- hands up -- put his hand on the car. To me, it looked like he did everything you're supposed to do," Trump said. "And he looked like a really good man -- and maybe
#UPDATED 9/24/16#
Even before this update, Trump supporters were required to post a title in the question; that question wasn't allowed to be loaded due to the posting in good faith rule and we removed these posts appropriately. Title-only posts are low effort and have been discouraged for all posters; mods removed these posts from supporters and non-supporters at their discretion.
The first three submission rules for non-supporters (question in title, post a non-loaded question, and no 'title-only' posts) had always and will always purtain to all posters. By putting these on the non-supporter submission requirements, the new rules made it seem like we had no requirements at all for posts
Did a Trump supporter give a great answer to your question that made you think differently about something?
Did a Nimble Navigator give an amazing source that you weren't aware of?
Did a fellow Trump supporter thoughtfully articulate a point that you wish more people were talking about?
#Type !MAGA in your reply and distinguish that poster!#
Much like the system on r/changemyview, we have a !MAGA system that awards great posts. Once a Nimble Navigator has earned enough MAGAs, they will become a coveted Gold Navigator
###Keep great discussions going on this subreddit, !MAGA someone today###
Note: Make sure you type a message when you give the poster a !MAGA; the bot will reject
For the people who think that the election is likely to be rigged, I think volunteering at your local Registrar of Voters on election day might help give light to how Democrats and Republicans work together to give transparency to the system.
For the people who think that nobody represents their values in the local government, I think you should look into running for local government or looking into part time positions.
For people who think voter fraud is likely by waves of illegal immigrants voting, I think volunteering at your local polling place may be a good idea to shed light on just exactly what happens in the day-to-day.
I have personally been working to get more involved at the lo
I want to be free of this neo-liberal nightmare and see the end the corporate takeover of our government. I want to see the power put back into the hands of the people.
Do you? From what I am reading - a lot of people seem to think a political 'revolution' includes putting a capitalist into a capitalist system. Even if we elected Bernie, the status quo would not have changed because the people with the power are the people who have the capital.
Nearly all of Bernie's key points can all be traced back to the central problem: capitalism. Income inequality, tuition hikes, increase in the amount of student debt, and jobs being sent overseas are symptoms of a capitalism. The root of a lot o
How has your behavior changed in MM games since the rank normalization?
Before the normalization I really cared about my rank so any time someone was toxic I tried to be positive and bring the entire team through it. Now, I just mute the entire team with voice_enable 0. I know there is just going to be a bunch of arguing and trash talking so I would rather not get involved.
Before the normalization I never left a competitive game. Now I just leave if anything comes up. I also queue more often thinking "ah well I can just leave if _____ happens"
All in all, I am having a lot more fun because I am way more relaxed and I just don't care about winning as much anymore. It's really weird how ju
I wish we were more tolerant of all speech that didn't fit the norm. Republicans should feel like they can speak their mind, just like an atheist could speak theirs about religion
If the new weapon is underpowered and seen as not worthy to buy, than nobody will buy a skin for it and everyone will use their old setup.
New weapons coming out that are overpowered means skins sales. This is the exact same strategy Riot uses for new champions. New champions are overpowered so everyone buys them, and then they get nerfed after a while.
Valve does not care about game balance, they care about making money. They make money through skin sales. Yet another reason why skins have infected the game of counterstrike
