Why are American police officers being trained in Israel? Don't we have enough police academies here in the United States?

Furthermore, why should the IDF be the ones to train our police? All they know is how to commit genocide against the people of Palestine and Gaza. No wonder a lot of our police are acting like the Gestapo, shooting people in cold blood, regardless of whether or not it's justified. They're just taking a hint from the IDF, which has been killing innocent Palestinians and Gazans for decades.

I have no doubt that Donald Trump approves of all this, considering his blind support for Israel, and his fondness for fascistic tactics, including his current campaign to suppress the right to vote, his imperialistic wars, his cynical belief that he has the right to attack, invade, and occupy other countries, even if they pose no threat to us, his attacks on Free Speech and Freedom of the Press, his labeling his opponents as "Communists," etc. ALL THESE TACTICS WERE PART OF HITLER'S AND MUSSOLINI'S PLAYBOOKS!

No wonder this country is becoming more and more authoritarian and fascistic! If this keeps up, democracy will be dead!

A heartbreaking and infuriating murder of a child.

Whoops. This comment is for Qasim’s following episode about the police killing of an unarmed 17-year old in Austin.

We have someone of questionable integrity and lack of intellect leading the country. Dropping bombs on boaters based on no intelligence. The US is invading other countries without provocation. Is anyone actually proud of this? He thinks he is in charge of regime change across the globe. He monetizes the presidency for himself and family while severely cutting back programs needed for many Americans (in the so called richest country on earth.) Troops on the streets. Ice in the streets killing people. Is this the gestapo? Then he tells other countries they won't have a country anymore, while we have already lost ours.

Our so-called leader probably cannot define integrity and wouldn't know the difference between intelligence and intellect if either of them could be bothered to bite him. We are the richest country on earth only if you include our debt load. Meanwhile the Washington DC layabouts are trying to plant oil derricks in our national monuments and spoil the views with oil platforms lining our coastal seas as they befoul our beaches and fisheries.

Any interest in WA elections?

Every morning we wake up to more horrific acts being committed against individuals. The frustrating part is that it was obvious this would happen if this person were elected.
