[Breitbart] HOUSTON, Texas ‐ A Houston city councilman has called for segregation in policing. In the wake of the officer-involved shootings of black men across the country and the assassination of Dallas police officers, the councilman said police should reflect the ethnicity of the particular community where they patrol.
Speaking to Fox 26 in Houston, City Councilman Dwight Boykins (District D), "I think at this point, because of the crisis situation, not in Houston but throughout the country, we need to have officers patrolling areas that reflect the ethnicity [of that community]."
The councilman continued, "Because that will eliminate second-guessing. People know their community; they know their culture; and I think that can make a difference."
Weekend news anchor Sally MacDonald asked a guest on her show for a reaction to Boykins' comments. Houston Police Officers Union 2nd Vice President Joseph Gamaldi responded that the idea was ludicrous and wouldn't work.
Fox 26 Senior Legal Analyst Chris Tritico led off the weekend panel’s discussion saying, "I'm shocked at the suggestion." Turning to his conservative panelist Jacquie Baly, Tritico said, "Well, if that doesn't work, I guess we could have separate schools and maybe separate people in the restaurants ... just keep the races separate so we won't have to have these problems anymore."

Hey maybe we can have separate drinking fountains too? And different seating areas at lunch counters too!

I think we can guess the party of the councilman.
I truly can't believe how bad the civil order has become under Obola.
I've been aware of race issues since the '50s and saw a generally improving trend for 50 + years. Then there came the current regime and we have backed up as fast as falling off a cliff.

I recall a bumper sticker my uncle seas in rural western Maryland many years ago. If we had any idea how much trouble these people were going to be, we'd have picked the cotton ourselves.
(CNN) Washington: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it. Yes, I got a whiff of it as well. I think it's desperation.
"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that." "Consistency"...Ag! Someone jot that down for her Dayan Emet.
Ginsburg's comments came in a previously scheduled interview related to my research for a book on Chief Justice John Roberts. I took a detour to raise the reverberations from her criticism of Trump to The Associated Press and The New York Times in recent interviews. "I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president," she had said in the Times interview published Monday.

Proving the judiciary is completely compromised and should be subject as anyone else exercising power to be directly accountable to the people. Long terms, but never for 'life'.

"How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."
Someone should tell this crone and her 50 cats that turning over tax returns are not required, merely a new "tradition." Sort of like college transcripts. Oh, never mind....

Loretta Lynch is owed a favor and is only 57 y/o. Posted by Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
Excellent point! Not to mention these lazy, memory challenged wankers in the Congress would no doubt unanimously approve her appointment, just like they did for her AG posting.
[H/t Instapundit] In all the controversy about the Iranian nuclear deal and Iran’s nuclear aspirations, it has been little noted that the leaders of the Islamic Republic may have reasons of their own actually to want to nuke Israel.
And their motivation is not in spite of the fact that Iran would almost certainly be nuked in retaliation ... but because of it.
Sounds crazy? Of course. But once you enter into the wild and weird world of Shi’ite Muslim eschatology, it all begins to make sense. As I show in my new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, there are specific conditions in Shi’ite tradition for the return to earth of their messiah-like figure -- the Twelfth Imam.
