The Chicago suburbs span from North of the city reaching to Wisconsin to South of the City next to Indiana. Where are you looking?

We have gotten several Chinese visas (until we just got the 10 year ones so we didn't have to bother getting them anymore). We go to Costco and have a photo taken. Just a standard passport photo. You don't need anything else.

Go to City Data and read their Big Island boards. You will receive a lot of good information there. Things to keep in mind, that others have mentioned, are the extreme cost of living, the high unemployment rate and traffic. Other things to keep in mind in the Big Island are the high car...

I like how he spoke of each individually. I like how he addressed the mayor and the police department and the chief. How he addressed the citizens of Dallas and everything they have been going through. I was a little concerned when the Police Chief started his remarks and began with trying to...

What was inappropriate?

Did anyone watch the Memorial Service for the Dallas officers? President Obama addressed what these last 37 pages tried to do in a much more eloquent way. I strongly encourage everyone to find a video or transcript.

BLM focuses on much, much more than police shootings. http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/

Well, if he was not fit to serve that day, he should have been pulled. The Chief of the McKinney Police Department himself said the officer was out of control and his actions were indefensible and did not reflect the high standard the police department had with all of the obscenities he shouted...

Well, people are talking about the issues for one. This 25 page DISNEY board discussion of the issues is a great example. How many people reading this and posting had their eyes opened about the every day issues Black Americans face when dealing with law enforcement? As many people on this...

I think the thing to remember is that Black Lives Matter is a peaceful movement. These were marches designed to be peaceful and to bring attention to a huge issue in the black community. If some opportunists decide to piggyback on the events and stir up trouble, that does not mean the...

Well, a lot is still being figured out. The police pulled him over because he had a broken tail light (that is what the video suggested) although pictures at the scene show his tail light was operational. So, maybe for Driving While Black. There is unconfirmed police scanner audio that...

The taser usage piece was particularly interesting. Thanks for posting.

Well....according to Black Lives Matters... "The idea that black-on-black crime is not a significant political conversation among black people is patently false. In Chicago, long maligned for its high rates of intraracial murder, members of the community created the Violence Interrupters to...

What attempted assassination of a Minnesota police offier?

Which ones? Please explain.

Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Rumain Brisbon, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, Tanisha Anderson, Dante Parker, Ezell Ford, John Crawford, Eric Garner to name a few. Not warranted.

So then this thread has been helpful to you as you learned something new. Driving While Black is, unfortunately, a real thing. Google it. Google Chris Rock and Driving While Black. Why do you think Philando Castile was pulled over so many times? Why do you think that in addition to the...

I don't know. What did you do to protest it and bring attention to it? What did the man's family and friends and the community do? This isn't just about the senseless, unwarranted shootings. It is about arrests and prosecution rates and incarceration rates and sentences. All of those are...

Black neighborhoods that whites know not to go because the police will stop them for no reason?

Please post evidence of marchers in Dallas chanting about dead cops. There was a fringe group in New York a year or so ago not affiliated with the Black Lives Matter march who chanted that. I think it was about a dozen people and they marched a couple hours after the BLM march there. You don't...
