| This cartoon depicts a Black robber stealing a white woman's purse. The cartoon is supposed to depict protesters demands to defund the police. The cartoon was condemned by the newspaper owners. |
The far-right and leftists are trying to tear this nation apart. The biggest issue we all are facing is a global pandemic. The coronavirus has killed over 125,000 Americans and it's not slowing down.
The Democrats are united but very concerned that the junk food media isn't not giving the Democratic nominee in waiting fair media coverage. They fear that the junk food media will help Donald J. Trump secure a second term.

| The cartoon defended the controversial statements of Drew Brees when it came to kneeling during the national anthem. |
He also had dealt with allegations about his son Hunter Biden, a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Biden in 1993 and "keyboard doctors" claiming he has dementia and mental illness.
Biden is torn between his record as a senator and his duties as Barack Obama's second man. The former vice president is the Democratic presumptive nominee and is trying to chart a platform going into the election. He being very secretive on who's going to be his running mate.
He said he will pick a female running mate and hopefully a candidate willing to take on Trump, his far-right allies and leftists who are trying to sow discourse.

| Offensive cartoon of Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ). |
Leftists are demanding the police lose funding in regards to militarization. The police have use military tactics when they're taking on protesters.
The "defund the police" is a Russian-based op to undermine Black Lives Matter and it's being used a wedge issue. Trump has already tagged Democrats to this. He believes that Democrats want to eliminate police forces across the United States.
Since the George Floyd tragedy, we have seen incidents where civilians were brutally attacked by police. Some have been promptly fired and some have faced criminal charges for their actions.

| Far-white cartoonist depicted racially offensive comic. |
I believe that we need to hold bad cops accountable for their actions. The first thing is a background check into how they view people of color. Second, how they handle pressure when it comes to unruly civilians being detained. Third, their social media postings in regards to political or controversial issues. Fourth, their disciplinary record needs to be public record. Fifth, if they have a history of abuse while in uniform on or off duty, they should be promptly taken off the beat. If they use deadly force against unarmed individuals, they should be promptly investigated for use of force.
Also we need to eliminate the correlation between police unions, prosecutors and allies of law enforcement. No civilian should be deputized to handle police affairs. Prosecutors should never believe the "cop's word." Police union should not rush to defending bad cops or assume the person killed deserved their fate.
The federal and state level. We should eliminate "no-knock" warrants. If you're issuing a warrant, you should be able to enact it when the person is at the residence and not on a gut reaction.
So much stuff to discuss......!
Anyway, two co-owners of a family-owned Missouri newspaper resigned from their position in protest of a syndicated cartoon depicting a Black man stealing a purse from a white woman while hailing funding cuts to the police.
NBC News reports the newspaper, The Washington Missourian approved of the comic and it's driven a lot of backlash.
