OT: Cops kill George Floyd

[Stannis]

Antifa is a joke. It's like they just show up to tear **** up. This isn't a movement whatsoever.

I don't agree with these riots or destruction tbh. But I was also ok with Colin's peaceful protest.

The people who are against these protest and were also against Colin can kiss my ass. It's pretty simple to figure out you just want minorities to stfu.

Do they look ready to deescalate?

That one short cop needs to be disciplined. That's not how you do crowd control. At all.

Aside from the politics etc in this.

Really?

So were the armed statehouse protests the conservative version? Fill us in.

How about neither were either.

Good try trying to appropriate the nazism\fascism language the far left too often throws around

Unless I totally misunderstood how you are trying to phrase this

THIS!

New reports are beginning to surface that a lot of the violence is being perpetrated by outside WHITE SUPREMACIST groups who want to make the protests look bad and are also interested in a race/civil war.

Google "BIG LUAU" or "BOOGALOO" to discover more about these groups.

Also, the video below is allegedly an undercover cop purposely smashing windows. He fled when other protesters confronted him.

They posted his badge number, the precinct number and tweeted the appropriate department...

This is a thread laying out why getting a murder conviction on Chauvin under Minnesota law is an uphill battle.

God help this country if a conviction is not rendered.

I agree with this attorney. In fact, I posted that myself earlier if you had been keeping up!

If the DA had made a quicker arrest on these charges without that language about “other evidence” BS, perhaps a lot of carnage could’ve been avoided.

How is the burn your own neighborhood playbook working out? If there was this level of outrage every Monday morning over the 10 dead in Chicago instead of when 1 guy dies every year there would be real change. But there isn't, there's no appetite in the media for it since it's not sensational. There's no appetite for it in the local governments because they're all scared of blame. There's no appetite for it by the "black leadership" demagogues because it's black people killing black people. This is what 50% of the country thinks, why do "they" only care when it's a cop or a white guy. Real change will come when 50% of the country cares about the 10 dead, until then it's just exhibition.

So what’s the systemic issue people need to be upset about with what’s going on with Chicago? What authority do they need to protest against?

It's more about the media and anybody with power to rage every Monday that 10 people got killed over bull. Every Monday if the media, the mayor, the governor and the usual talking heads led with the lives lost there could be some unified approach to helping. How is essentially a mass shooting over Memorial Day weekend nowhere to be found on the national leading news? FIFTY PEOPLE GOT SHOT IN ONE WEEKEND. That would be one of the biggest mass shooting in this countries history, but CNN, Fox, and everyone in between could give a ****. This is where the left loses the center, body counts are used in one case but not other. You can disagree, but it's just how it is. The whole "1 life is more important than burning 10 cities" (which is nonsense because people get killed in the riots anyway) just falls flat on half the country.

Maybe the DEA as far as authorities that I'd cite it's by far and away the most insanely unproductive out of control body that every president democrat and republican has failed to de-fang. We can start by legalizing most casual drugs which IMO would go a long way toward ending the incarceration cycle for poor people (Black and otherwise). Every single measurable metric shows the war on drugs is a failure at every level and disproportionately affects urban poor people. Anyway, let me get back to sewing my hood since I'm a white (Columbian) supremacist.

Why is black people killing black people crazier to you than white people killing white people? It happens at nearly the same right.

Then you have factors like poverty. And criminalization. If you’re poor and you’re looked at and treated as a criminal, you have no chance in this country. Then you have decades of redlining, lacking access to loans, and lack of investment from the state, so there’s lack of opportunities that lead to this poverty AND you have cops, weapons of the state perpetuating the cycle by targeting black people because cops are decedents of slave patrols and you’re telling me all of this isn’t connected and cops killing black people isn’t as important? Come on.

This DA, Freeman, said - and I quote - "There is other evidence in the case which does not support a criminal charge [against the officer who murdered Floyd]."

Has anyone picked up on what this alleged "other evidence" is?

If we're seeing this level of rioting now, can you all imagine what we will see if the DA determines that the cop is NOT guilty of a crime? Oh my. I'm buying a face mask and a helmet and hiding in my basement.
