The entire problem with abusive and corrupt cops needs to be pointed out... not just parts of it. I mean, if we want to address the problem...

Sure, but the current protests are about more than just shltty cops, they’re about how minorities, specifically Black people, are treated by society in general. It’s not just policing that needs to be reformed.

Yes, the media message is specifically about how one race is treated right now. A portion of the problem. That is my point... it needs to be addressed in it's entirety.

One thing most in common amongst the people abused by police, no matter what color they are is poverty. We can talk about a single portion of that or minimize and exclude the others and that will only turn people on each other rather than the issue.

Which of these numbers is more alarming when talking about fatalities by the hands of police in USA?

235 or 1098?

It's widely debated who was the first to invent mathematics. Was it the Greeks? India? There is evidence that a measurement now called the megalithic yard was used in Europe and middle east/north Africa all the way back to the Neolithic Age and was used mathematically in ancient structures but one way or another, there has been math for thousands of years.

Thoughts on American (or Canadian if you prefer) schools teaching Arabic numerals to students in public school?

Why not? Why not other numeric systems?

It shouldn't happen too early, should have a firm grasp of your own beforehand.

Prefer to see more first nations history languages and culture in the school system.

India invented zero. Without that I’d say math was incomplete before that. Imagine a world with no zero.

The US fills kids all Americana to a fault.
Here talk of black history is rumoured to be taught. Why? I agree start at home then proceed or make black history an elective.

The Hindu-Arabic numeric system is superior. Keeping it as the standard simplifies all things.

To make it fair for everyone they should cancel the playoffs and focus on the next few years.

I actually agree that a reform in policing is needed...but this defund the police movement is beyond stupidity. But not surprising considering the people who are supporting the narratives behind it. What do the People want? Private security firms doing the policing it would be ten times worse. Unreal.
