You think the Chicago PD is lawless? It's the criminals, crime and general lawlessness in Chicago that is causing over 40 people to routinely be shot each weekend in Chicago.
The rampant lies and misrepresentations about police will only cause more crime, deaths and lawlessness as police choose to retire and decent people who may have been considering becoming police will decide to not subject themselves to the constant and unjustified abuse meted out by the public and politicians which police have to endure.
>"Defund the police and use the money for mental health and human services."
That doesn't address the cancer of gang violence and other violence that police need to deal with constantly.
"Mental health and human services" will not address these problems. Most people committing crime had an opportunity to go to school and participate in legal society. They choose not to.
The future of America is that of a lawless gangland like Mexico if the police are "defunded".
Why do we encourage the existence of Native American reservations?
They are basically miniature Ethnostates. They go against the entire liberal narrative of diversity. Not only this, they keep Natives isolated from the rest of America.
It is time the Reservations were dismantled and natives join with the rest of America.
The Americas are not any more Native land than America the country is a white country. The same reasoning that is used to chastise Europeans for settling in North America is the same reasoning white nationalists use to rationalize excluding non whites from America. "This is MY land, you can't come here".
However DACA itself is unlawful in that it is an Executive Order undermining Federal immigration law, so the administration's rescinding it on the basis of its unlawfulness should be sufficient enough justification. The problem is that the Court's ruling indicates that an EO which subverts existing law cannot be overturned by subsequent administrations simply on the basis of its illegality. Justice Thomas' dissent says exactly this.
That's incredibly problematic. According to the recent ruling therefore, a President has the power to issue and EO which prevents the enforcement of certain laws.
That top answer is editorializing but their own analysis indicates that in Europe the upside red triangle is incredibly common in resistance movement imagery as well as having precedented use in US Antifa branches.
Exactly. It's so blatantly political propaganda. The scary part is that "respected" outlets like NPR and others pick up the headline and run with it knowing that the link to Nazi imagery is tenuous at best.
This is pulled directly from an NPR article denouncing the triangle as a Nazi symbol:
"Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said that some products are sold online that use the inverted red triangle in antifa imagery, though experts said it is not a commonly adopted symbol among anti-fascist activists.
"We would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same, so it's curious that they would target only this ad," Murtaugh said"
Which is a perfectly reasonable explanation that's ignored by the Democratic Party's political propagandists in the media.
This is the case for every single country on Earth, and is actually still the case for most countries on Earth. Show me a country today and I'll show you a set of groups who are oppressed in that country.
However it is America that has come the farthest in overcoming racial discrimination, which is why people from around the world want to come here in droves.
Those groups are disproportionately affected because they are disproportionately living in cities, which has nothing to do with racial oppression.
The Latino population has swelled in recent decades and new immigrants to the US are almost always poorer than the general population. That's been true for the last 200 years and there's nothing wrong with that.
Yet racialists like yourself ignore this and try to claim discrimination. It's intellectually dishonest.
As for Blacks in America, the only thing that will bring them up and negate past discrimination is a improvement of their culture and focusing on the future. Most of black poverty today is caused by broken homes and other cultural issues, not oppression.
I believe it was an upside down triangle... That's a common symbol and just happened to match an obscure Nazi symbol I think very few people alive today have ever seen before.
Just more propaganda repeated over and over. "Nope, it wasn't an upside down triangle, it was a Nazi symbol. Everyone using upside down triangles is hereafter deemed to be making Nazi dogwhistles!"
Through the mixing pot of America we can come together and overcome our natural tendency towards division. This is part of what makes America a great nation.
Again, the racially-oriented thinkers often just exacerbate division.
Only by overcoming the concept of race can we actually overcome social division. Divisions among whites have melted away as they stopped seeing each other as "English" or "Italian" and instead came to unite. Similarly for us as citizens to unite we need to stop seeing each other as "white" and "black" and instead overcome these superficial differences.
Injustice can easily be rooted out while also overcoming the concept of race.
The problem is that race-oriented thinkers obsess over race and reify it, actually making racial tension worse.
Students whose parents went to Harvard tend to grow up aiming for Harvard themselves. It's likely that a high percentage of the Harvard applicant pool are legacies in the first place. If their stats are as good or better than the average of the admitted class, then what's the problem?
Is there clear evidence that legacies have an easier time getting in on a per case basis compared to a similar student without that that designation, as is the case for applicants with the URM designation?
The US allows over 1 million immigrants per year. Maybe less the past year, but still extremely high on an immigrant per capita basis.
H1B was being abused and needed to be reigned in.
There are still plenty of people coming into the country through various means, the US is still extremely generous with immigration.
There are plenty of qualified citizens here and in the zero sum game that is hiring national immigration policy should put their needs first before anyone else's.
A significant portion of the public is interested, but crucially those who have influence presently are not. The post-carbon energy debate is dominated by green energy advocates who are fully invested in wind and solar to the exclusion of nuclear. Their militant anti nuclear views have been accepted by the public due to reactor meltdowns and nuclear's justifiably poor reputation.
However I believe the debate is shifting. With increased public awareness of safe(er) modern reactor designs I think the public's fear of nuclear is receding which will lead to increased nuclear advocacy, especially among politicians who will view nuclear advocacy as a prudent middle ground that can win over people who are concerned about climate change but also uncomfortable supporting aggressively anti-nuclear environmentalists who have up until now been the face of climate change advocacy.
I'm not disagreeing with your basic idea, but it seems you're nitpicking and talking past Yann's point.
A model's only link to the real world is the training data, so saying it's sufficient to "worry about the training data" captures all the concerns we may have about bias, because from the model's POV there is no other relevant interface with the real world.
Saying "we need to do more" is devoid of meaning when by addressing the training data we are truly doing all we can as model builders and trainers.
Often the studies showing this are flawed, or at least incomplete.
For instance, it is often said that black people being arrested at higher rates for buying drugs in small amounts compared to white people when data shows that both groups use drugs at the same rates is evidence of discrimination.
However subsequent research has shown that black individuals often engage in much riskier behavior when buying drugs, leading them to get caught more.
What evidence do you have that "police, prosecutors and juries will go after black people more harshly and more often"?
The rampant lies and misrepresentations about police will only cause more crime, deaths and lawlessness as police choose to retire and decent people who may have been considering becoming police will decide to not subject themselves to the constant and unjustified abuse meted out by the public and politicians which police have to endure.
