If there is no law for police to keep data of how many people they encounter how are we supposed to get that data? How is that what the data is saying?

I mean not really they do not have to report if they shot a mentally ill person. they do have to report if a person they killed had a mental illness. Do you have to move the goalpost literally every single time?

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-some-encounters-between-police-and-people-with-mental-illness-can-turn-tragic The 21st Century Cures Act, passed by Congress with bipartisan votes in 2016, requires the Department of Justice to collect and publish data on how often federal, state and local officers use force, how many times that force ends up being fatal and how often the deceased had a mental illness. But the law doesn’t require police departments to tell the DOJ how many people their officers killed There is no data for how many mentally ill people do not get shot by police, the law only states that they have to disclose how many deceased had a mental illness, not encountered

You do not have great reading comprehension. That states that 1 out of 5 people fatally shot have mental illness. This is not stating 1 out of 5 mentally ill people get shot

I made that assertion and provided support that if you are mentally ill you are likely to get shot. There are many stories and a data and stats. Some people just do not want to be wrong or be shown that there are things wrong. I can only do so much

https://apnews.com/article/mental-health-crisis-police-shooting-death-settlement-4c0cdfc6d54a2dc488218d7e5e186925 Here is a direct example that even caused policy change. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1266935 More than 1 in 5 people fatally shot by police have mental illnesses, according to aWashington Post database of fatal U.S. shootings by on-duty police officers. Since 2015, when The Post launched its database, police have fatally shot more than 1,400 people with mental illnesses. here is more hard data and facts

Ok I'm gonna take off the partisan glasses. What side of the aisle consistently votes no on bills for veterans? What side consistently votes no on aid for US citizens? What side consistently votes no on things such as free school lunches? Dems block bills to but can you name some they blocked that would have helped the American people?

to my knowledge the razor wire is not getting cut down by border patrol. There was a SC decision that Biden can cut it down but that is not actually happening

Way to deflect without answering a question. I am not in a position to have influence over policy and laws, however I vote for representatives that have that ability. Democrats introduce bills to help make American's lives easier. How are conservatives trying to help when they vote no on any legislation that helps the US population?

What help do conservatives provide except money and weapons for genocide and war crimes? Do they promote legislation to provide lunch for students who can not afford it? Do they promote legislation to help veterans? Do they promote legislation to help with the border crisis? No they just vote against. How can you in good faith say that when conservatives have not authored or passed legislation that has helped anyone in any amount in years

when police get involved in mental issues the person suffering from the mental illness usually gets killed by the police. When Teachers bring up mental health parents scream indoctrination. When parents are supposed to talk about it you then have instances such as Crumbleys mom actively helping her son with planning and commiting a school shooting. You see police and other agencies defy gun control laws. What do we do from here?

there is no greater hate than christian love

Was the shooter on medication for a mental illness? I recall there being a system being in place for people specially with mental illnesses but Regan gutted it and gave no other solution. Maybe this has to do with the rise of mental illness within the country. If I am getting what you are saying, the cause for all the shootings is mental illness. So the solutions are either reform on healthcare and funding of facilities capable of helping those who need it, or gun laws. Neither are being addressed so we are again looking around wondering why every other country does not experience this epidemic

So let me get this straight. The Houston pd has come out and stated by interviewing people, going through documents, going through arrest records and so on that the shooter has always identified as a woman. But you asserting that she is trans because she used both male and female aliases. Doesn’t it make sense that a criminal would likely use aliases? You are alluding also that since this person who should have not been able to buy did, that therefore no gun laws work or should be considered. How many mass shootings have to happen before look at any other developed country and wonder why it doesn’t happen anywhere else but the USA

I mean you have to admit it’s a little political when the special counsel was trump appointed and couldn’t find a legitimate indictable offense so he made up an argument blaming that he couldn’t be found guilty because a fake jury would find him an adorable old man? While there are concerns with Biden, it’s just so weird you have one side screaming to lock him up and press charges but an actual Republican special counsel couldn’t find a legit reason. Term limits for every office plus Supreme Court is the only way out of this

is it really a good thing for people who are falsely convicted to be forced into slavery?

It does not offset the costs, all our tax money is still going to the prisons. Our tax dollars are actually just increasing profits for the for-profit prisons that make money off of the slave labor

no I am talking about slavery in general does not matter what race. You brought up race, I just stated how slavery is simply still legal. Slavery is slavery no matter what. I can compare them because forced labor is forced labor

yea I'm aware the 13th amendment does not actually ban slavery as there is slavery in our prison systems I can read it

I mean technically slavery is still allowed as long as you are in prison, we see it all the time. 13th amendment on Netflix details how slavery is still well and alive with government sanction

mental healthcare for trans kid is banned. Gender Affirming care is mental healthcare. I even gave you stats about trans people aged 13-20 see an increase in depression and suicidal ideations without this care. how is this not banning mental healthcare if there is a direct correlation with suicide and depression?

Israel is an actual country with a government that has ratified the geneva conventions. I personally think they should be held to a higher standard than a terror organization and not commit war crimes.

Gender Affirming Care is mental health care https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/30/ohio-ban-children-transgender-gender-affirming-care#:~:text=Ohio is now the 23rd,to comments from the public. From the article here is a testimony about how gender affirming care is mental healthcare Before I started on hormones last year, everything felt distorted, like I was seeing myself through an awful funhouse mirror. There was just a mismatch between my body and my brain, and now the two parts of me feel reconciled. I have this memory of opening TikTok one day during the pandemic. There was a video of a 50-year-old trans man smiling and dancing. He was celebrating the anniversary of his transition, and all I could think was: “Oh wow, we get to live that long?” Testosterone made all that mental health stuff so much easier. It can get hard sometimes, feeling like the entire world resents your existence. When it all becomes overwhelming, when the noise is just a little too loud, I try to remind myself that I’m not some monster, I’m just a different kind of person. After I came out as trans at 13, my mom and I started reading about “two-spirit” people. In a lot of Indigenous cultures, people who lived outside the gender binary were cherished, they were sacred, they could become healers and shamans. Learning about that history made me feel a lot better. A 2022 study published in JAMA Network Open found access to hormones and puberty blockers for young people ages 13-20 was associated with a 60% lower odds of moderate to severe depression and a 73% lower odds of self-harm or suicidal thoughts compared to youths who didn’t get these medications

Bro you never gave proof you only said “this is what’s happening” not one source of evidence
