It's hard to stay silent on this and not feel complicit. I really really hope this is what drives genuine change.

I love this guy. He said that a bunch of protesters were cornered by police and getting Maced so he opened up the front door to his home and let about 70 strangers into his home where he cared for and protected them.

White mother **** setting up black people to get killed by giving out bricks.

These are the type of white parasites that have infected these jusrified protests.

You can tell who they are in real life and online:

They start the conversation with "black lives matter" then later talk about "facism" "revolution" "sacrifices".

They dont burn their mothers homes, they burn the homes of black mothers. They don't look their neighborhoods, they destory black neighborhoods.

#jrsmiththem.

**** these white scum

Shoutout to all the Dominicans in Dyckman and LKs in Chicago that showed their asses!

this is another bad one I saw. we are going to need to learn from the lessons of protests we have witnessed around the world and start using helmets goggles and other protective gear as they are trying to injure and maim peaceful protesters

They damn near blinded one of my closest friends on my birthday out here with a rubber bullet. People need to stay in the house if they got no gear at all on, the cops will not hesitate to harm you that's kinda what's being protested in the first place.

I hate to hear that, these rubber bullets can potentially kill or disfigure people I’m not sure if people understand what they mean by “less lethal” but it’s no joke

Yes ,those who exploit the pain and suffering of the black community to fufill their riot/anarchy fantasies are the ones who want a "race war" a basic white boy "revolution".

I bet those white **** out there infecting black causes and putting black lives in danger are jerking off thinking about their so called "revolution" with black blood.

I bet some posters here are like that, jerking off at the death if black people, the destruction of black property, and the hijacking of black causes. Beating their dicks saying "oh the revolution" remembering the destroyed black neighborhoods and the dead black people.

NoLayupRule wrote:its not that anyone really needed it clarified but the police response - coming from the top all the way down - has made crystal clear the issue being protested

when police feel disrespected or feel their authority is being questioned their first and only answer is to react with extreme and disproportionate force

this used to be a tactic from war
it was adopted purposefully by police starting in Los Angeles and moving country wide at the same time as SWAT and other tactical units became popular

no community policing has been replaced by military style containment

as if communities of color specifically but really anyone are an occupied population

they work with disproportionate response to people of color but no one but a police is exempt

of course within the police community is a very strong political bias as well.
which is why DeBlasio's daughter gets her address and phone number posted online by the police union and why CNN reporters get ruder bullets while white men with guns openly displayed get a pass

this nation has cancer
cancer of the soul
its eating itself and its going to end up in blood

contents under pressure have no choice but to explode
its physics


This is covered in the book "The Warrior Cop"
I'm pretty sure the book "Chasing The Scream" about the "war on drugs" has it as well.

Obviously, lots of books and articles make the point - I'm just pointing out a couple of places, again, people can read up on it.

Also, covered in a different, but more specific to what is going on now, in "The New Jim Crow"

I read all 3 books back to back to back, so what's in what blurs to me a bit. All HIGHLY recommended.

DC is the only jurisdiction Trump can fully mess with right now as it has no governor. In the 50 states a governor is the one who calls in troops, not the president. But in DC the President can kind of do WTF he wants

Read on Twitter


Dan Friedman is journalist who publishes in Mother Jones

There is no such thing as DOJ troops

What this means is Barr and Trump probably have contracted with black ops to patrol the DC streets

IOW, these are not law enforcement or military. They have no identifying emblems or insignias. These are rogue people sent in by the WH to throw down. These are probably guys who work for Erik Prince

So if you know anyone protesting in DC, warn them to be EXTRA CAREFUL. Trump is really pushing the envelope now



First off, your warnings and take on Trump in DC are accurate and no issue there.

Also, those guys MIGHT be "contractors" from Prince, but DOJ has several departments in it that have a paramilitary component, or can have it:
http://www.allgov.com/departments/department-of-justice?DepartmentID=573

Off the top of my head:
FBI (they have tactical type units)
DEA (see above, seems less likely to be used in this case)
ATF - now there's a group I could see being used
Federal Bureau of Prisons - Another I could see being asked to "spare some manpower" for this, and also, like ICE, I think much more aligned with Trump in it's leadership and personnel.
US Marshals - have tactical types, not so sure enough to be used here
US Capitol Police - they generally look like cops, but are Federal and have the security of congress as primary mission
https://www.uscp.gov/the-department/our-mission

Two VERY likely groups


ICE - Not part of DOJ, but VERY in line with Trump
Border Patrol - see above

Oh, and looky here:
https://www.rollcall.com/2020/06/01/immigration-agencies-to-assist-law-enforcement-amid-unrest/

The two biggest immigration enforcement agencies at the Homeland Security Department confirmed Monday they will deploy personnel and resources to support local, state and federal law enforcement in U.S. cities where civil unrest over police brutality continues to simmer.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the DHS agency that deports undocumented people from inside the United States, confirmed to CQ Roll Call that it would add to the boots on the ground nationwide.

ICE “fully respects the rights of all people to peacefully express their opinions,” Danielle Bennett, an agency spokeswoman, told CQ Roll Call via email.

“In light of civil unrest taking place across the country, ICE personnel and Special Response Teams have been deployed to protect agency facilities and assets in support of the Federal Protective Service and assist local, state and federal law enforcement partners, as needed,” Bennett said.


Customs and Border Protection also threw its weight behind law enforcement. CBP “continues to assist our law enforcement partners in supporting peaceful protests,” acting Commissioner Mark Morgan said in a tweet Sunday. “But as we have seen, these ‘protests’ are anything but peaceful.”

Morgan noted that an officer with Federal Protective Services, the security division within DHS, was shot and killed while guarding a federal courthouse in Oakland, Calif., amid a protest. The motive behind the shooting was not clear, however.


BP and ICE are the closest things Trump has to Brownshirts. Especially BP.

Note the paramilitary language of "boots on the ground" by ICE, though they also had a some generalized "protest is democratic" speak in there as well.

Customs and Border Protection? Well, as he does, their leader went right to sucking Trump's ass, as he usually does. So the guys on the ground have received the message. I expect these guys to be the main issue.

But how to stop them? Is it through the loss of their property and killing of their people as the only way? And if so, how do we know which of them to go after, or just any of them?

Bro, Dolan had to come correct and not jump out without great deliberation. What's he gonna say "I understand your pain", he Dolan and no fault of his own, is a fkn billionaire.

So yes he was right to be thoughtful. But by no means is he racist regardless of political affiliation, being a republican is not a crime. Being an **** Democrat is just as bad as an **** Republican, just as much as being an **** Christian, Jew, or Muslim. You capture me?

Dolan is actually one of the most open and equal opportuntiy owners in ALL of sports.

Just wanna shout out the protesters in North Jersey. Word I got out of heads in Newark, Jersey City and Passaic were that they saw nothing but peace yesterday. Clifton had a march plan that I didn't really get to follow as well.
