  • House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Hb 19
    PUBLIC COMMENTS HB 19 HOUSE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY & CIVIL JURISPRUDENCE Hearing Date: March 9, 2021 10:00 AM Michael Gerke SELF Missouri City, TX This bill rewards bad actors. That is, companies who fail to train and properly hire drivers get to be dismissed from a case against them. This is a disincentive to do things the right way. And those companies who do hiring, training and safety the proper way, are placed at an economic disadvantage to those who do not. Bad bill. Texans lose on this one. Jason Boorstein Self Dallas, TX I became very concerned after reading the text of this bill. The bill aims to hurt individuals driving on our roads. I am concerned about commercial vehicles from Texas, other States and Countries getting a pass in Texas if they hurt or kill someone. I am concerned that if this bill passes, companies have less incentive to investigate bad drivers, self police their company, train and discipline. Please consider tabling this bill so that we can investigate the real ramification to Texans. Thank you. Guy Choate Webb, Stokes & Sparks, LLP San Angelo, TX I speak in opposition to this Bill. Texas highways would be made less safe by protecting the companies that put profits over safety as they put unsafe trucks and drivers on the road. Large trucks are disproportionately responsible for carnage on Texas highways. Trucking companies need more scrutiny, not less. Trucks do not have to be dangerous and truck drivers do not have to cause crashes. Good companies do not have the type of crashes that routinely plague Texas highways.

His death sparked global protests in support of Black Lives Matter. Although Floyd’s brutal killing might be understood as something of a watershed moment, it is essential that we do not allow it to become subsumed within, what Keval (2020) calls, a ‘state of exception’ narrative. Positioning Floyd’s death as exceptional – the actions of one unusually bad police officer – obscures the ‘everydayness’ of deaths following police contact. There were only 27 days in the whole of 2019 where police did not kill someone in the US, with Black people making up three times as many of the 1,098 victims than white people that year (Mapping Police Violence, 2020).

PARKS* Why white folks focus on dogs and yoga, While people on the low end trying to ball and get over.2 In 2015, Damon Young, co-founder of Very Smart Brothas—a website that features essays on pop culture, politics, and humor for Af- rican American readers—authored a piece titled Black People Don’t Hate Dogs. We Just Hate When Their Lives Are Valued More Than Ours.3 In the piece, he observed that Whites seemed more outraged by Michael Vick’s history of financing a dog fighting ring. He further ob- served that “certain types of White people valu[e] the lives of dogs more than the lives of Black people.”4 The idea that Whites, on average, show more compassion toward dogs than Blacks is a narrative that is not un- familiar among Blacks.5 In this article, I offer some explanation as to why and how Whites—who may fail to see as much humanity in Blacks as they do in dogs—have maybe come to evolve beyond that point in 2020.
