The murals are a part of history! If we keep taking down/and or removing statue's and Murals why teach history in schools!!! This is getting totally out of hand!!

why take them down, it is history that needs to be seen and remembered the way it was and not the way they want you to see it, or not see it...

If the paintings are offensive, then you'd have to count George Caleb Bingham's famous Order Number 11 painting as offensive too.

Trying to sweep history under the door is no way to improve our Nation. The Boone County Commission is a failure.

Examining our past is SUPPOSED to feel uncomfortable. This is where the urge to grow and change comes from. It's the same sort of whitewashing of the past as the fake issue of Critical Race Theory.

If these paintings were painted today, there would be drive by shootings, tent cities on the sidewalks, and needles and human waste everywhere. We don't want the truth to be exposed. It might hurt someone's feelings.

What does it matter? They will do what they want regardless.

Because the people in the painting are white not black.

There wasn't such a thing as sick days in the Army. You were told to quit being a female body part and ruckup and draw fire.

The new paid sick leave requirements were another 'problem' that didn't exist and certainly didn't require more government regulation.

If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.

Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
