In Texas it takes 620 hours of training to become a peace office and given a gun, It takes1500 hours of training to become a hair dresser and given a blow dyer. This fact is really scary.
Not every time a white cop does something to black or Hispanic or Asians is it race motivated. Sometimes it's actually to control the situation the best they can. Sometimes they are actually breaking the law and/or being a dangerious threat. As I recall, it was mostly black teenagers at this pool party so the likelyhood that a black teenager being stopped first is pretty good.
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
