I'm very much in agreement that Biden is far too doddery to be a good debater anymore (although his staged stuff is good, like his acceptance speech this week) - but I assume neither of you are saying the above because you think Trump is actually good? He is a genuinely awful debater, although he is lucky because just repeating 'fake news!' or just outright lying will appeal to his base and those that think he is anti-establishment etc. He is terrible. It really is the shiniest of two turds.
"shiniest of two turds."
Couldn't have summed up the last election here any better.
They are lucky not to have been lamped. Can you imagine that here? The person(s) sitting down or not joining in someone would just let their fists go and then carnage would ensue.

You could just shoot people on the streets over there &
Not even have to be a policeman
One innocent man was shot at point blank range in the back by police and another two were shot dead the other night as part of the protests against police brutality. Whilst a small group of protestors behaving atrociously is obviously unpleasant, feels a bit of a sideshow by comparison?

I havent looked into the events in great detail. But im not surprised the guy was shot because he was reaching into his vehicle, the cops will assume you're reaching for a weapon. In a country with guns dont take a chance, just comply.

5 or 6 police officers cant stop a man walking around a car which
They could clearly see had children in the back , to open the door
Before shooting him 7 times in the back .
Police in this country of that number would just jump on someone &
Put them on the ground. No need for a death like that
or maiming for life

The same police you criticise and belittle every five minutes for doing an incredibly hard job.

Good point but maybe there was no reason to stop him until he reached?
Police here would but then suspects here arent as likely to have a gun.

Do you even have one?
Being a police officer is a choice Dross
No one forces you at gunpoint to do it .

Being that most people are asked to show id & documents youd assume that
Theyd be in the car , you know its common place for people to have there
Docs in the car with them , in case they get stopped by police .
Furthermore , why would they shoot a man who it was reported was trying to diffuse
A situation .
See they can just put you on the ground or in cuffs

I agree with these sentiments but when police officers in this country do physically aprehend people there is always a outcry about Police brutality. We need to support our police more and if certain officers do things wrong then they should be punished.
As for America there is definetly a educational and upbringing issue there as they take actions that you just look at and think "why do that".
I can only speak how i find our police force and i support them and they deserve our backing in difficult dangerous times.

I’ve just read that Nancy Pelosi wants Joe Biden to back out of the head -to -head debates with Trump. What a surprise....Not .
Did you watch what she said or why she said it?
Trump is absolutely abysmal at debates. The only way he'll come through it, as per his Presidency, is lying and saying 'fake news' over and over and over and over again until the morbidly thick start saying 'well yeah he's just saying it as it is!'. Biden is also rubbish, obviously - but I get the feeling he's going to embarrass Trump. But then pro-Trumpites won't care, if Trump tells them he's won, they'll believe it. Much like if he told them the sky is green.
It doesn’t matter. If Biden wants to be President he’s got to do the debates. If he can’t do it what chance would he have speaking with the likes of Putin and Jj Ping. They will make mincemeat out of him
