I'm a big Fan of Marion Barry (R.I.P.), but yeah, his constituents were hardcore supporters.. the back story is too long to delve into here, but Barry basically took back D.C. government from an oppressive Federal Government, and thus made a lot of enemies.. he was shot and held hostage in the Hanafi Muslim standoff in 1977.. as you know, the FBI set up that encounter with the crack pipe and FORMER Mistress.. Barry's supporters knew "the Man" was out to get him, they had tried to hang Barry for years.. it became an "us vs. them" scenario.

Ha! I get your jokes, DK, but I have noticed in other threads guys miss the humor.. maybe you do need some polish, LOL (that's polish, as in clean up, not the Polish people in Eastern Europe, LOL.. so there's no misunderstanding)

so Obama will be speaking at the Meyerson in 90 minutes.. I'm reminded of this performance by Body Count last Summer, at Trees.. "Cop Killer"..

I have to wonder, if Body Count rolled into town, say, this weekend.. what the reaction would be? for those who don't know or remember, that song was released in 1992 to great controversy, not long after the L.A. Rodney King-based rioting.. the song was quickly pulled from the album.

"the suspect was thought to be a armed robbery suspect...." By the shooting officer, correct? So that "thought" of this sole officer justified him shooting Philando on the spot?

So.... Does his life matter ??

[andymarksman]

Yes, when he has only "one life" left in him....

the service that just finished.. I thought Obama gave an excellent presentation, if I had a minor complaint, it would be his implied assumption that the Baton Rouge and Minnesota shootings were completely unjustified.. and that may be so, but as the President, I would expect he would wait on the justice system.. he has been burned before.

Bush gave a great talk as well.. he got a little too "into" "the Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the close, LOL,, he started to dance and sway, while the other dozen, or so, VIP's onstage were somber.. I think Michelle Obama calmed Bush quickly, he settled down after a few moments.

and I bet there will be lots of inquiries on the Stevie Wonder song Chief Brown read from.. Brown suggested the song was from 1974, but it's actually from the Songs in the Key of Life album, 1976.. the song is "As", I bet there's a flood of Google searches the rest of today.

Yeah can't wait. Michelle for prez. 2023.

If he wasn't obeying orders and there was a threat to the cop, absolutely. There were other cops that were shot last week because they were not on their toes.

"If he wasn't obeying orders...." Or was he..., but the officer didn't give a damn to his own orders anyway?
