What part of Baltimore is racist? The black run Police Dept? The Black run City Council? The Black Representation in the state? Three of the six police charged in Grey's death?
The problem isn't racism. The problem is that there is a whole class of people excusing bad behavior because of skin color alone, except when it really matters, and sometimes when it isn't even involved (like you here).
Is there racism? Sure, when white liberal guilt makes people say blacks "need our help", that is Racism. Blacks don't need white people's help. They need to help themselves, rather than leaning on the perpetual crutch of "white people hate us". If that is true, then don't depend on white people at all, and excel on your own.
The American Public has rights, an individual citizen has no rights.
This is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard. A group has no rights, period. Individuals have rights, those rights extend to where there are groups (see First Amendment). The idea that groups have rights is simply the mistake of the far left wing, and their "Group Politics", and a big reason why Civil Rights Movement has failed.
I have rights, society doesn't. Society is built to protect the rights of the individuals. This is the part of "Liberty and Justice for all". The defense of liberty is the primary function of government. Justice is how that liberty is protected.
IF a dude (or dudette) came in with a gunshot or knife would or something like that, I could understand. Pain, even that I could understand. But many of those were simply some vague illness.
But if this was an isolated case, then I would be in agreement. But it isn't. My wife/kids and mom were involved in a car accident, where my mom broke vertebra and ribs, and my wife and kids were in a great deal of pain. I watch a couple dozen people with "flu" like symptoms go in. A car accident verses the flu. You take the major injury car accident people first and you make sure they aren't suffering internal bleeding.
Free Market is realistic pricing. Single Payer has no such function. The assumption is that single payer is better that free market, isn't supported by anything. You take the US investment into health care, which the rest of the world enjoys, and you have crappy healthcare for everyone (like in France).
Blackmail and intimidate is hallmark of political correctness. For the latest example, look at the death threats against the Indiana Pizza place. Because obviously threatening with death is not as bad as not supporting gay marriage.
There is already a fix for this. A cop that has a malfunctioning Video camera during an interaction with the public is put on unpaid leave until the investigation is over. And will be paid retroactively if it was actual equipment malfunction. This would require the officer to report malfunctioning equipment and get it replaced before the next interaction.
You're obviously totally lost. Maybe you'd be more comfortable at a wingnut propaganda site that will reinforce your leftt-wing delusions. Salon, Slate, MSNBC and HufPo are good possibilities for people like you who don't want to be troubled by reality
You say that like being "Fed" means it isn't going to happen. But in reality, it is going to happen from higher levels than LOCAL. Locally bad police are isolated, federally bad police means you'll NEVER get fairness/justice if wronged. The problem with Leftwing view is that bigger is better, and I disagree with that premise from the start.
Assuming the Fed police isn't corruptible is the last thing I would do.
By "Far Right" you mean those that oppose government forcing people to things, then yes, I am "far right"
Left wingers love to use government force, but hate it when applied to them. I oppose Government force for just about everyting, except to stop an actual crime in progress, or to arrest someone who actually harmed someone (unlike Eric Garner, who harmed nobody but the state)
My car, traveling the 500 Miles to my mother's house, averages around 65 miles per hour, including the one stop for gas. A train to the the vicinity, averages about 1/3 that, because of the stops along the way it makes, that my car doesn't. Nothing like taking a 8 hour drive and making it nearly 24 hours. And no, this isn't highly dense populated areas, this is through the central valley of California. And no, HSR isn't going to solve this problem either, it is only going to make it marginally better.
No, holding the companies accountable is the solution. Regulations don't do anything, we need willpower. We already have regulations against fraud and gross negligence, we just need to use these.
The patient has no idea what a simple hospital visit for a minor at-night injury will cost when he's only there for a few hours
About $15,000 from my bill. And that was what insurance paid. God forbid I didn't have any and had to pay cash. Yeah, four hours was the amount of time I spent in the hospital.
The term is "negotiated prices" by insurance, and it is nothing more than a racket. One of the fixes I propose is Single Price healthcare, where prices are the same no matter who, or how it is paid.
Sure, pick the places that sort of work okay. Ignore all the socialist paradises like France and England. My French cousins would love to have access to American Health Care.
$1300 error for a $10,000 hospital bill. That is a three hour Emergency Room visit, maybe less.I know, I've had to go to the emergency room for an eye injury and the bill was close to $15,000 (Fifteen Thousand), and including waiting time to release was about 4 hours. You want to know why this shit is expensive? I saw a dozen "Non-emergency" patients in the waiting room, a number of them went in before me (my eye was gushing blood). I won't tell you why, because you'll call me a troll. My guess is my bill paid for their bills, and a few others.
Look at the wars going on right now. They are war mongers, they just get everyone else fighting proxy wars with each other, to the point where we are fighting a proxy war against ourselves!

We, the USA, were the ones who threw the first punch with our occupation of Muslim countries.
When the WTC was bombed the first time (By Radical Muslims), which Muslim Country did we occupy?
I won't hold my breath waiting.
Belonging to a group is easier simply because individual liberty is too hard. Group Politics is much easier.
The problem is in most cases, they are right. It doesn't matter which side they are on ;)
I wish I had mod points today.

It is Racist make excuses for repeated failures.

Anything less, is simply a step towards tyranny.
How about anti-authoritarian, in all its forms?

We elect people who are criminals, known criminals, current criminals ... all the time. They have been bought and paid for, usually by criminals.

FTFY
Leftists are authoritarians who hate authority on themselves, but want it on everyone else. Just like Rightwingers.

Single Payer doesn't solve the problem.
You want to fix the problem, make it "single price", where insurance pays what cash pays. Right now, "negotiated pricing" is fraudulent pricing.

And you think GWB was bad?
You said nothing, provided me with nothing, just made an allegation about what I know (or don't know). Basically a strawman argument.
