The proposal is part of Sanders' broader plan for police reform.

Wait, they used WOODY HARRELSON as a template? And I'm not sure why facial recognition is the focus here, when I feel that the end of providing military equipment to police forces is much more impactful a change.

    I'm the same person that created the comment you responded to.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a democrat. I tend to be more libertarian/pirate partisan (though I don't necessarily believe in IP abolition and, unlike libertarians, I do believe in strong environmental protection laws).

    While I may disagree with Bernie on many issues I do agree he is not a bought and paid for shill. I do agree he stands by what he believes.

    To be honest, I also don't think Trump is paid for by corporate interests either. I do think he's unqualified to be president. I think early on in his campaign and presidency he was sincere about improving America but later on he's starting to realize he's gotten in way over his head (won't admit it though) and he's redacted so many of his promises.

    He's completely allowing North Korea to run all over him.

    He was all for tough sanctions on China but he's been delaying them (again).

    Not that I agree or disagree but the point is how he's handled himself and how he's changed his mind so many times makes him very confusing. He came acting like he's going to change everything and it's going to be a piece of cake and so far he hasn't really followed through with much of what he said would be just so easy to do. He starts something and backs out and then claims victory anyways.

    That's why I stopped voting years ago. I figured no matter who gets elected we're screwed regardless.
