Can the police line not proceed at a slower, less violent speed, so that the people who refused to clear the area are merely pushed back, with little enough force that they can stay on their feet but enough force that they can’t stay in place, rather than being harshly shoved to the ground risking serious injury? — Pfhorrest
It seems to me that it'd be better to implement those as concessions if they want everyone to return home. — Moliere
I am not disputing the connection between psychology and advertising, which is obvious enough. I am questioning to what extend the "values taught in psychology" really affect the society, which I figure would be an extremely difficult question to answer. — Echarmion
I'm fairly confident the main sticking point is "they bring and promote the values and views they have been taught" not the fields of work they go into. — Isaac

No excuses, but I doubt the officer expected the man to fall back completely defenseless like that. He was old and frail and couldn't balance himself or brace himself. You'd think (or hope) if it were a woman or child, the officer would have better recognized the strength disparity. — Hanover
This is the scary part.What is also clear is that Trump wants this conflict between the people and the state, and, even if there is a lull in the conflict today, it is likely the president of the United States can get what he wants.
And there is still the pandemic happening. — boethius

Controlling for population (that is, looking at killings per million people) shows that it is black Americans who are most likely to be killed by police officers — StreetlightX
If there were 20x more men than women and 95% of victims were men, then that would be equal numbers per capita by sex. — Pfhorrest
Yes, absolutely, all men too should be absolutely furious at the rate at which they die by the hands of police. Why aren't you? — StreetlightX
"Controlling for population (that is, looking at killings per million people) shows that it is black Americans who are most likely to be killed by police officers — that they are nearly twice as likely to be killed as a Latinx person and nearly three times more likely to be killed than a white person. Black Americans are also about 1.4 times more likely to be unarmed in fatal interactions with police than white Americans are (and about 1.2 times more likely to be killed unarmed than Latinx Americans). — StreetlightX
Well, I said what that might be in my first post - the violent crime rate of each group. — Hallucinogen
