With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Think of what you are saying. Since a consequence of protesting police violence may be the heightened chance of acts of violence being committed against police, then People shouldn’t protest police violence.
I know part of you talking heads jobs is to help the Democrats keep the People in line, but I’m not sure such thinking as you indicated above would make for good social engineering. The killer committed the murders in response to the deaths of Eric and Michael, not because of the protests.
Violence begets violence. Protests are in response to violence. My condolences to the families of the two police officers who were slain.
It's odd that neither of the slain police officers were white. Might they just be an attemt to stir the pot of unrest even further than it has been of late?
No, people shouldn't stop protesting because of the two cops having been shot. However, they should be aware of this and show a little sensitivty towards the police. They are obviously---and rightly so---going to be on edge.
I agree with Ms. Necker in that neither police officer was white. Perhaps given the light and angle at which the shooter saw the two officers, they appeared white to him. Then again, he not have cared and just wanted to murder a couple of cops. Who knows what path logic takes through a twisted mind?
