A discussion over renaming US Army bases named after confederate officers includes an illuminating disagreement between a whites vs whites perspective and a freedom vs slavery perspective.

Proposing to rename the ten US Army bases named after officers of the Confederacy, after ten foreign that came to the US to fight as officers for the independence of the United States.

Here's another proposal with American soldiers of the past.

Bogus Johnson continues a long-standing British tradition of lying about its history, especially atrocities and injustices. He is hardly entitled to criticize anything like removal of statues in the name of honesty.

The US indictment of Julian Assange accuses him of publishing many secret US materials, but strangely omits the best known example: the Collateral Murder video.

It appears the US would rather people forget about that one while the British government absurdly distorts its legal system to extradite Assange.

The thug that killed Rayshard Brooks knew that Brooks had a taser in his hand, and could not threaten his life with the taser.

If one can believe the thug, Brooks started fighting to grab the taser after he failed a sobriety test. I supposed Brooks feared arrest as a consequence, but why? The thug did not find him driving the car, only sitting in it, and that is not a crime.

Brooks' theft of a taser called for some action, but it did not have to be immediate. So did his being drunk and in possession of a car, since he could have started driving it and killed someone. But towing the car should have been sufficient to prevent that. If the key was still in the ignition, a faster and cheaper solution would have been to move the car to where it was not in anyone's way, then hold the key until Brooks came in, sober, to claim it.
