Keep chasing the klan, it's a red herring. The chief of the police is a black man Medaria Arradondo. Appointed by Democrat Betsy Hodges. Vote these people out of office if they don't stand up to the police unions that protect obvious murderers from being quickly arrested. The DA, Freeman is a Democrat. There's no white supremacy conspiracy, it's cops protecting cops. They sandbagged the black cops arrest for EIGHT MONTHS when he shot a white woman. If the union chief was a klansman he'd have been in jail in a week. It's an irrational, over reaching, over protective union that protects bad cops because that's the culture. Mayors don't stand up to them because a police strike is absolute **** doomsday in many cities. Same story everywhere, teacher's unions are the same way.

Vote for people who run a platform that nobody is above the law. The cop murdered a man on film in broad daylight, it should have resulted in an arrest in 48 hours at most.

I don’t think they feel the same righteous anger, and I feel they do more to delegitimize any movement they introduce themselves into.




Antifa are just the latest boogeyman.
I'm not buying it.
How do you know who's an anti-fascist?
Any white person wearing black who breaks something?
Watch out for false flags.


Basically anybody who opposes the regime is a terrorist now


wow... I’m sitting here talking to my wife and then you both responded and my mind can’t even catch up to itself. movingon made it click in my head. The confusion is the tool being used. I’ve always subscribed to the belief that red and blue are wings on the same bird so the regime (at least to me) is not a 4-8 year president, its the worlds owners. I never really thought of antifa as anti regime, I mostly thought of them as a nuisance blocking highways and calling themselves anti fascist when in fact they were preventing the free travel of people. With all that aside though, movingon is correct, they are nameless and faceless, the possibility of a false flag is should always be in the back of our minds. Basically anybody, can be anything. We can’t be sure what is truth even if it’s right in front of our face during this time. Deblazio stated he wouldn’t call the national guard while in the same sentence saying he expected things to get worse. Why would he call a swat team on peaceful people not practicing social distancing but not call the national guard during (from what he stated) a riot that’s about to get worse? Is this part of the power grab?
Phase 1 keep everybody inside
Phase 2 race war / mass confusion

Or maybe Wingos right and I am crazy

Peddling conspiracy theories during this time is another con game people use to distract people from focusing on police brutality and systemic racism.

Why do you ignore the racist, Trump supporting police union leader that continued to offer warrior style training for police officers despite the Democratic mayor banning that type of training?

As head of the union, Kroll has pushed for aggressive policing. Last year, Mayor Jacob Frey banned a “warrior-style” training for officers that has been linked with other officer-involved killings, including of Philando Castile in 2016 in Minnesota. As Mother Jones revealed in an investigation, the training promoted a “killology” view of law enforcement that urged officers to be prepared to use more force, not less. Kroll described the mayor’s ban as illegal and vowed to continue making the training free through the union for any officers who were interested. “It’s not about killing, it’s about surviving,” Kroll said of the training at the time.

I agree with you. Why don't cops go to jail in obvious cases where evidence merits an arrest warrant like Floyds murder?

Cops don't get immediately arrested for murder in broad daylight like Floyd because they are protected by police unions, which are all Democrat, in Democrat run cities, with Democrat mayors, Democrat chief of police, Democrat judges and Democrat councils. Start by voting out the turds who are in bed together. Ranting about white supremacy might get everyone excited but it is has dick to do with why a murder in broad daylight, on film doesn't result in a swift arrest. It's the same democrat cronies that have been re-elected in these cities for 30+ years. Vote them out.


Yes the Democratic head of the Minnesota police union who *checks notes* spoke at a Trump rally.

https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/05/minneapolis-police-union-president-kroll-george-floyd-racism/

In 2007, Kroll also referred to former US Rep. Keith Ellison, who is Muslim and Black and has pushed for criminal justice reforms, as a terrorist, according to a lawsuit filed by now–Police Chief Medaria Arradondo alleging racism within the police department. The lawsuit accused Kroll of wearing a motorcycle jacket with a white-power patch sewed into the fabric, and said he had “a history of discriminatory attitudes and conduct.”

3. Make is a Federal crime, punishable by death for police to kill any unarmed person or for anyone who dies in police custody due to negligence, excessive use of force or non natural causes.

Boredom, hopelessness, frustration and anger. I would've thought things would've mellowed out by now. But this might be going on for a while. The kids are upset.. their futures look bleak. They don't even realize that what they're doing is an huge waste of energy and time and solves nothing. These kids need to go one way or the other. You're not going to pose any real threat by throwing rocks and filming it with their cell phones. This is very much a social event in a time when we went three months without any.

Protestors speaking out against the looters. Some of you need to listen to people doing the right thing instead of making assumptions. No one is excusing the looting, especially not the people who are protesting against police brutality and systemic racism in the first place.

He said: “This is what I’ve got to say to the people who are destroying things. If you really feel like you have to take an opportunity, like if you’re going to be opportunistic, something is wrong with you.

“If you cannot stand up and fight the good fight and you want to be a cheater and go ahead and take what we’re trying to do, something is wrong with you. Because what we’re trying to do is stand up for the basic right of humanity. And that’s what we’re trying to do and we’re trying to do in a peaceful way.”

He added: “We do not want to go through this any more. OK? I want to be able to go in a white neighbourhood and feel safe. I want to be able, when a cop is driving behind me, I don’t have to clench and be tense, OK?

“I want to be able just to be free and not have to think about every step I take because at the end of the day, being black is a crime. At the end of the day, being born black is a crime to them and I don’t understand why because we’re all humans and that’s sickening.”

I'm tired of idiots with zero knowledge of history saying the one action proving to work won't work. They teach about MLK in schools and not the 140+ race riots between 1962 and 1968 for a reason. This isn't a social event, it's decades of discrimination finally coming to a head nationwide. It's a beautiful thing to see and anyone criticizing them has **** priorities because at the end of the day a human life is worth infinitely more than man made goods.

Do me a favor and go through all the unpunished killings in Flint, Newark, and Houston for me. This copaganda is wild annoying, if they were with us they wouldn't kill us. I don't kill someone or defend/protect a killer literally every day of my life. I got a 9492 day streak going so far, it's not hard.

That clip of the Houston police chief is what actually got me to check on this thread because I felt it was important to note the Houston PD has killed 140 people under his watch, the cop that killed George Floyd reportedly has killed 2 people before too, but he's with us? **** em all.

It's not venting. Just combating **** propaganda meant to distract from the enemy. The same reason I hate watching a video of things like officers playing ball with kids.

Like these police chiefs are out here on the frontlines now but they're nowhere to be found literally any other time an officer kills someone but people like you spread the videos around to convince yourselves you're right to not judge police as part of a system they actively perpetuate.

Then my bad for making that assumption bro, I just think those videos do way more harm than good so I feel the need to get the information out there. Officers constantly lie and pretend to care but 3 other officers at the scene and none of them stopped them from killing Floyd (and one damn near pepper sprayed the crowd when Floyd stopped moving and the officer was still grinding his knee in his neck) and none of these police are talking about getting any of them off the force because every one of them would do the same.

I've long said the first time I hear about an officer trying to kill someone getting arrested by his partner and charged with attempted murder is the day I'll stop saying ACAB. Until I see that every statement from an officer in support is a blatant lie.
