Black 10 Year Old Legend Preston Traumatized by Police

Legend Preston is very lucky he wasn’t holding a squirt gun. He may not be alive today. Black lives matter. This has to end! 

In Newark, New Jersey, a story has surfaced about police traumatizing a 10-year-old child by chasing him through the streets with guns drawn. Fifth-grader Legend Preston was standing outside his home on August 14, when police say they mistook him for a robbery suspect and began chasing him down an alley. Preston says he thought the police were running after him because he’d chased a ball into the street without looking. He says neighbors then surrounded him to protect him, yelling, "This is a child." This is 10-year-old Legend Preston.

Legend Preston: "Some police are coming from this way with guns pointing right at me, and then like I ran into the backyard. I ran because they thought that I walked the ball in the street on purpose, and they were just holding the shotguns at me like this, trying to shoot me."

When was the last time police chased a 10 year old white boy standing in his front yard? Never. That's what  I think. 

Dowsing For an Honest Politician

The art of dowsing has been around for millennia. Some people believe in the skills of paranormal behavior to search and detect all sorts of objects, including water and graves hidden from obvious determination. The search for water is most common and frankly, believed to work  even by people educated in science. Why do we accept what we can not explain? Because we want to? 

Fortuitously, the art art of dowsing for water is aided by the fact that most of the  subterranean  soil and rock is saturated with water making the probability of detecting water with a stick nearly 100%.  This takes me to the question at hand. Can we detect an dishonest politician with a dowsing rod? Since all politicians are dishonest, to a degree, then we are bound to succeed by dowsing a politician for honesty. 

Does dowsing work? No. Does it detect water? Yes. Does it detect a dishonest politician? Yes.  Wow! Imagine their reaction if you greeted a politician with a dowsing rod and proclaimed you can detect their integrity. I can hear the audience crying out from here, “Get him outta here!”. We want to believe, so we do believe, both the dishonest politician and dowsing.
