Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
By Linda Greenhouse
June 28, 2005

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.

You don't want to talk about the American way of life. Qualified immunity was first introduced in 1967 during the civil rights movement. That means any cop can violate our constitutional rights with impunity. We may as well wipe our ass with the constitution.

And now lets look at actual war casualties as opposed to disease in native Americans.

With regard to casualties, the greatest numbers came in two wars: one with a tribe in the forefront of the Indian wars, the other with a tribe few people — then or now — considered a major threat to white settlement. The “winner” in this contest depends on how we do the counting.

"The dark horse finalist is the Snake War, fought mostly among soldiers, white civilians and the Northern Paiutes. This conflict, lasting from 1864 to 1868, tallied 1,782 casualties, "


"The other contender for most casualties is the Dakota War of 1862. Whites waged four Sioux wars against the Dakota, Nakota and Lakota people: the First Sioux War of 1854–56; the Dakota War, or Dakota Uprising; Red Cloud’s War of 1866–68; and the Great Sioux War of 1876–77. The Dakota War tallied about 1,390 soldiers and Indians killed or wounded. Add the 600 white civilians killed in the initial uprising and massacre that began the war, and the casualties number almost 2,000. "

Why does someone have to be "woke" to disapprove of the mass massacre of old people and children?

https://www.ushistory.org/us/40e.asp
The Seventh Cavalry — the reconstructed regiment lost by George Armstrong Custer — opened fire on the Sioux. The local chief, BIG FOOT, was shot in cold blood as he recuperated from pneumonia in his tent. Others were cut down as they tried to run away. When the smoke cleared almost all of the 300 men, women, and children were dead. Some died instantly, others froze to death in the snow.

This massacre marked the last showdown between Native Americans and the United States Army.

https://www.history.com/news/wounded-knee-massacre-facts
When the shooting stopped hours later, bodies were strewn in the gulch. Some were breathing, most not. Victims who had been hunted down while trying to flee were found three miles away. Some had been stripped of their sacred shirts as macabre souvenirs. At least 150 Lakota (historians such as Sprague put the number at twice as high) were killed along with 25 American soldiers, who were mostly struck down by friendly fire. Two-thirds of the victims were women and children.

Percentage of indigenous peoples killed by bullets is a fraction of what disease killed. That's the issue you want to avoid.

You're trying to lie and fucking up badly, dumbass.

The Black Death killed up to 200M people and 30-60% of Europeans. WTF does that have to do with the Hundred Years War between England and France? Not much except in the same century.

Likewise, how does the fact disease killed off the majority of the indigenous population of the Americas justify genocide by the US Army?

Are you denying Sand Creek and Wounded Knee ever happened? Why are you seeking to justify the mass murder of old people and children?

The fact you can read a history book doesn't prove Trump isn't a pedophile who attempted to overthrow the Constitution.

The American way of life has traditionally been, individualism, pragmatism, and dynamic.

That is, Americans act as individuals in their own best interest, are healthy skeptics about anyone pushing heavy handed controls on them while readily accepting obvious societal goods. At the same time, Americans are open to change that betters their lives.

What Americans don't want, and what isn't American, is heavy handed government control over their lives, being forced to accept, act, and believe things handed down from a central authority, and being forced to fork over their hard-earned wealth to anyone by force of government.

Americans are traditionally very generous and philanthropic, unlike say Europeans who assume government will provide. Americans are far more self-reliant and open to cultural differences so long as these move towards a single view that adopts the best of those cultures tossing aside what doesn't work. That's a major reason Americans have resisted Socialism and a strong central government for so long--they don't fucking work!

Correct. That is why we don't vote Republican.

Why do you think all authoritarians become more sadistic the higher up the hierarchy?

To be our best, Americans should be Just, not sadistic.

Those who attacked or support the attack on overthrowing our nation are traitors to American ideals.

The problem isn't sadists, it's the Left. The Left is the anthesis of American values. Those on the Left that want literal equality rather than equal opportunity--to succeed or fail--are the ones dragging American down to Hell.
