For close to 46 years the United States has imposed sanctions against Cuba and what has that embargo brought about in the way of change? Nothing really. The embargo could only be called a success if its goal were to draw the Soviet Union and Cuba. Alas that is something that no one wanted, at least no one in the US. The communist government in Cuba still exists to this day, the only ones who really suffered were the citizens of the country. Prior to the the embargo per capita income in Cuba was on par with Italy and higher than Japan at the time. Now their economy is in ruins, malnutrition and poor living conditions are the norm.

By now you have probably seen the video.  It’s difficult to watch, a man is taken and pushed to the ground.  Then while another officer is knelling on him he is shot in the back.  How could something like this happen?  Some are saying that perhaps the officer was going for his taser and instead grabbed his gun in the heat of the moment.  It certainly doesn’t excuse what happened though.  Police had the man outnumbered 2-1.  Granted the man should not have been resisting but lethal force is not an acceptable course of action when someone is resisting and you outnumber them.

See for yourself:
