ramage, make sure there is plenty of security around for this. Hopefully all goes on without any issues.ramage wrote: I encourage all of you to join me at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in downtown Denver for a protest, Sunday. We can link arms and sing psalms and pray. It is a protest therefore we can have more than 10 parishioners and protestors in the building.
Communion will be offered, please note that alcohol (wine) is a disinfectant.
Thank you Governor Polis, the U.S. Supreme Court for allowing this exercise of the First Amendment to the Constitution.

I ask that U pull that topic up and review it in it's entirety. I was the voice that spoke out about the visibility
of it being on the down low, I was the one that attempted to show the disconnect,not only from the posters on this board,BUT the WHOLE of the populace.
The typical response was it has been overblown by the media (driven to make sensational headlines) and
that it is on the receding path....(nothing to be concerned about).
I CITED article after article,example after example, and BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PEOPLE OF COLOR ON THIS BOARD(that I could ascertain)...I was blown off....I had it all wrong.
I was told that it was a problem in the past( I cited THE JENA SIX....posted the video of the incident and
the acute problems that followed....I was told that was then (around 2006) and NOW IS NOW....history
presently shows THOSE issues are almost gone....THERE WAS NO RECOGNITION of the REAL
problem.
AND NOW.....there is, a man in blue,bent down and buried his knee on a black man neck (against strict
protocol) and for more than EIGHT MINUTES allowed his actions to snuff out a life, the ONLY reason
U and the entire nation NOW know.....is because a brave 17 y.o. FILMED THE MURDER.
AND HERE WE ARE.....riots, language of the unheard....

This policy was installed under a black police chief with the consent of the Democratic city Council. I guess I’m just trying to figure out how this is Trump’s fault. I’m trying to figure out how this is just assumed to be a racist act. It looked to me like the cop was pissed and was probably completely intimidated by George Floyd who was obviously much stronger. This is why, BTW, you heard Keith Ellison say he doesn’t think he can get a conviction.
Also wondering where the body can video is for this incident. Has anyone heard anything about if and when we will see that?
