They coat it in a glossy shade of “equality for white people too”

No they don't. The biggest beneficiaries of DEI are white women.

It's about ending discriminatory practices designed to benefit underrepresented races and genders. The DEI debate is rife with people who are speaking different languages and willfully ignoring the other side.

To be fair, nobody here would care about this if a Democratic was responsible.

Lol, DOGE was the quickest abandoned federal organization ever. Trump used it to get votes of real conservatives and some libertarian types.

You must be 40+ years old then.

Did you just imply that Trump is a fiscal conservative? Since 2015 he made it clear he wanted to spend a lot of money. For a little while he pretended to side with Musk who was attempting to NOT spend so much money, but he eventually ditched DOGE and kept spending.

It's that way for a good 3 months. At least -10 anyways.

Finding a place to park a car is inconvenient, but locking up a bike somewhere isn't?

And you must live within walking distance of a train.

Seriously. Last winter here was -25 C. Miserable for bike rides.

Those same vehicles also have a 4-wheel model that's pretty nice.

Trains and bikes are much more inconvenient. Though bikes are good for close proximity.

Was the shooting politically motivated?

The Catholic shooting had the shooter writing tons of political messaging on weapons and such. That's why it was both "targeted violence" and "terrorism".

Seems the Mormon shooter just didn't like Mormons, in general or some specific ones.

The inverse is also true, but it’s still not particularly relevant to my point outside of the rough example i gave previously.

Yes, the inverse is also true. Which is why it was necessary to investigate it to see why he died, as it was not clear why.

You, however, just saw the video and assumed the cop's actions caused his death. It's unclear why considering his actions would not normally kill someone.

But unlike the bullet that killed Thompson, being knelt on like that would not kill most people.

irrelevant , A peanut wouldn’t kill most people.

Entirely relevant. If you saw a video of them feeding him a peanut butter sandwich and he died right afterward, you have no clear evidence without autopsy that he didn't have a heart attack or something. You can't just assume the cop's actions caused it.

Not an assumption, dictionary definition of killing.

How is it not an assumption to say the cop's actions caused his death prior to autopsy?

I'm an not talking about manslaughter, murder, none of that. I'm not talking about intent. I am talking about the same definition of killing that you are.
