Wow.  Is being able to dig a grave in my backyard and plant a ficus over it also evidence of privilege?

Crime stats will drop down to nothing if there is no one to file a criminal complaint with.  Minneapolis may end up looking like Hiroshima in 1945, but on paper, their feel good counselling force will look like a raging success over the evil cops.

There may be nobody to crow about it.

If they succeed in abolishing the police entirely, the city council members may meet the same fate at the hands of "their" people as Benito Mussolini . . . or, more recently, Muammar Qaddafi.

I was able to pull it up.  

That first link with the horses in Houston.  It didn't look to me like the officer intended to knock her down.  Looked more like the horse decided it wanted to go there and she was in the way.  I don't ride so someone else might see it differently.  Might need to ask my neice.

Your second link worked. The first gave me the same as the others -- a database page showing a list of many videos in the database.

As for intending to ride over her, it was too fast to be certain but it did appear that the officer was trying to rein the horse to the right (away from the girl), but Dobbin was moving too fast and responded too slowly.

The database page with about 600 entries was what I was trying to link

Now the police are using topography against our communities. A precious young lad was trying to acquire items from a Wal-Mart in an outer-outer ring suburb of St Louis, when mean people tried to take him into custody.

Quote
While running away from police, officers said the teen jumped a fence and fell down a bluff. The 14-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital where he is expected to recover.

On the other hand, he might turn out to be white, so no one will care what happened to him.

Not in my classroom.  I strive to be as unbiased as possible.  I present facts, expect students to look facts, and make their own decision, not following some "influencer."  I do not see schools as some type of indoctrination camps

they are indoctrinating them here, the teachers i know personally are all for bernie sanders or left of him.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

New bumper sticker for the times.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I just read that now it is required that he be hired by a sportsball team as part of the riot demands. It's racism not to. I don't know what it's called when black players other than him are not hired, or hired instead of him because they're better.

If they started demanding Biden be replaced with a black candidate think the DNC would refuse?

Would that make him the first sorta mainstream white-African-Americam who is inarticulate and stupid and dirty and a pervy-looking guy.  I mean, that's a storybook, man!

Not just that pushback.  They were also dragged over the coals for cultural appropriation because they were all wearing African Kente cloth.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
