Police Brutality Thread

Has anyone truly thought about what they'd do if they accidentally drove down a street that they shouldn't have?
When there's suddenly a mob of people outside your car, beating it, shattering windows and possibly trying to drag you out? (Reginald Denny)
You would probably be fearing for your life and the only way to safety is to drive away.
I have zero sympathy for these idiots who are getting hit or run over by cars while they're trying to block traffic and attack cars. Seriously get off the fucking road.

Stop calling the rioters "protesters". They are different groups.


ESPN writer cheers on riots⁠—then they show up near his house so he calls them 'animals'
An ESPN sportswriter supported rioters burning down a low-income housing area in Minneapolis, but changed his tune when the rioters showed up near his own home.

Chris Martin Palmer's first tweet was posted on May 28, when the riots started in Minneapolis that saw buildings and businesses burned to the ground amid the unjust death of George Floyd.

Palmer tweeted: "Burn that shit down. Burn it all down."

Then three days later, on May 31, Palmer took to Twitter again to post about the riots that have cropped up across the country.

But this time, he was angry with the rioters, calling them animals. "They just attacked our sister community down the street. It’s a gated community and they tried to climb the gates. They had to beat them back. Then destroyed a Starbucks and are now in front of my building. Get these animals TF out of my neighbourhood. Go back to where you live."

Personally, I have issue with BLM in it's mission and approach, but I can appreciate when there is support from outside the country.

This was pretty cringe. Germans are some of the most self-hating people on the planet.

My mom's town (where I grew up... a Chicago suburb) has protests going on now and it has started to turn violent. Just like an hour ago, there was a shooting about 7 blocks from her house, she's really scared, so am I. I my town I just heard the police are tear gassing peaceful protesters.

This was kicked off by a police brutality racial incident, but it seems to me it has transformed... nationwise, people are (and have been for a long time, and increasing so) fed up with everything that's been going on. I think the covid lockdown has primed us for this event, and a straw broke the camel's back, and things are getting really ugly now.
 
It's got pretty bad here in Louisville too. Everyone is protesting the death of a black girl who was innocent. (Aperently the police suspected her boyfriend as a subject in a case, got a search warrant,busted down the girl& boyfriend's door, boyfriend opened fire bc he thought he was getting robbed, police shot the girl. The guy that the police were after had already been locked up long before any of the other shit started.
So yes shits nuts.
 
100% unacceptable and awful, totally agreed. Let's not conflate protesters with the violent rioters, though. There are people purposely attempting to do just that, to paint the whole thing as something depraved, when the protest itself is logical and reasonable, and needed. In my town today there was a peaceful protest happening, and police broke it up with tear gas and rubber bullets.
 
Violent rioters (whether organized or organic) are simply going to help usher in the tighter controls from the authorities.

And there are a lot of people who are defending the rioters. These people don't really think for themselves though.

I wonder if the logic goes something like...

"gee there's a lot of protesters... They're peaceful now but they could turn violent at any moment, we should disperse them. Get the tear gas!"

30 seconds later...

"I knew it! They're getting violent!"

There are both out there, but they shouldn't be too hard to distinguish. You have these:





and the decent people who notice someone is wanting more violence






And then you have this:




Denver capital has protesters laying down outside - nonviolent, makes the statement

In the first clip I showed, there is nobody seen provoking the 50+ people who chase the white guy and call him a nazi. The second, I'm betting is the I-35 reports of a tanker going thru a crowd. Maybe they got mad at him for trying to drive thru, you know, on a highway?
 
St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter: "Every single person we arrested last night, I'm told, was from out of state."

 
Rioting is going on all around me. If I did not have a son I would be there now. I do not agree with trashing Walmart and businesses, but you bet your ass I'd be setting fires on the lawn of the governors mansion.

When will the badge stop being synonymous with a license to kill? When will black men and women truly be equal in this country?

Do you not read the posts in this thread or conveniently ignore them? I posted the article where he apologized for saying this because jail records proved otherwise.
 
Sanders is such a lying, sneaky (millionaire) sack of shit.
