The implication is that people are dwelling on Insignificant insults while ignoring the atrocities that really matter.

I think that’s true to an extent, it’s human nature after all, but it’s also true that people can care about more than one thing at a time.

They can, for sure

But do they when it’s about groups of people they only interact with in a service capacity? I find they don’t. I mean it’s obviously the case because it’s happening right now almost everyday.

AFAICT @Zoobi was being sarcastic about the fact that the media and popular opinion has made a more noticeable fuss about Trump calling a (blonde white female) reporter “piggy” than about ongoing ICE abuses of nonwhite Americans and immigrants/residents. I don’t think they were trying to be mean to you personally.

Thx.

I didn’t mean to imply the piggy comment was as bad as ICE raids and the implications for brown people, at all.

I didn’t know nor could I see the reporter he said that too. I wouldn’t have a clue what race or color or size she is.

It was another example of him being a nasty person to “ANYONE”.

I mean they been hollering he’s coming after all of us. I have a right to be concerned. All of us, is just that _all of us._

About 20 years ago I had the fun experience of having the police break down our apartment door to serve a search warrant. No one was home at the time (thus the door-crash). Of course, the whole reason they executed the warrant was on some frivolous thing someone accused me of. Break down my door merely on someone’s accusation? So I assumed they would have to pay the door repairs.

Nope. Not the big 5-0. They get to break down doors with willful abandon.

Nope, the police definitely don’t have to pay. Customs can destroy your luggage and everything in it looking for drugs, find nothing, and say “huh, we thought you looked suspicious. You can go now”, leaving you with cut fabric and sool.

Did you ask your insurance company to pay? Did they?
