This is police brutality

[Stoney]

This is what I've learned over the past week: There were at least four police officers who have either had their heads up their ***** or had a complete disregard for life in at least one city in America. I've also learned that there are at least 150,000 people in America who are complete anarchist shitbags who do not deserve to live in a free society.

 

[Steelworth]

Where the **** is the so-called leadership in this country? The nation is literally burning to the ground and everyone is quiet except Trump, and everything he says is retarded. This nation is doomed.

That Atlanta mayor gave an impassioned speech today that I thought was one of the best speeches I've heard in years. And Trump tweets (and says) some dumb ****, but the speech he gave today at the launch was dead on and a great speech/message IMO.

Isn't it funny that Covid doesn't matter anymore?

It just jumped to the next continent.

 

[SojournerSteel]

something fishy in all of this. I'm waiting for this cop to get Epstein'd in jail.

Epsteined, and then repurposed. His neighbors apparently didn't even know he was a cop. Calling BS on that. Everyone knows when a cop lives in the neighborhood. And working 17 years with Floyd??

If the protesters and anarchists are being paid, why do we think the trigger event itself was on the level?

Those pesky white supremacists:

This white supremacist apparently didn't want his business being the vandalized and destroyed, so he wielded a sword at the rioters (probably not the smartest move but he may have felt he had no other choice at that point); this is what happened to him:

Tibs - why are you not screaming about social distancing, wearing of masks, using hand sanitizer, etc during these riots? Shouldn't the people at these riots thus be shamed - publicly shamed at that - for putting their own wants and needs above that of the community? I mean, that's been your stance since March regarding social distancing. Or does the Rona put an exemption on rioters?

Where the **** is the so-called leadership in this country? The nation is literally burning to the ground and everyone is quiet except Trump, and everything he says is retarded. This nation is doomed.

Our blame culture has finally caught up with us. The first reaction of so many in any situation is to blame someone else. Especially if it can advance themselves in any way. Our gutless leaders are so damned scared of making tough decisions because regardless of the decision, some will probably be hurt. So they half *** everything. It is our own fault. We get the leadership we deserve. I wonder if people in 1918 ran around blaming Woodrow Wilson for the flu?

I want to see moments of silence as well for all the black lives lost to other black people. That continues to be the elephant in the room. I acknowledge the police brutality, and the lives lost due to that. It is awful and has to stop. However, how can you address one and just ignore the other? Do the black lives lost to other black people not count as much as the black lives lost to police brutality?

You can address both, can't you?

I saw a lot of good but also too much of this type of stuff going on. This is pretty much exactly why these protests are going on. People are tired of seeing police act like this.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Man I don't wish this on any US city. these are peoples businesses being destroyed. a lot of people whos businesses this is happening to will never recover. this is a nightmare happening on live TV.

Yes, but here is the narrative from the media that I heard on CBS (?) last night, the talking head actually said the business owners whose properties were being destroyed supported the "protesters".

 

[Sarge]

The nation is not litterally burning to the ground. Some cities have riots. Get a grip.

Quite a few cities having riots. Whether I overstated the issue is irrelevant, because the point that I made stands. Our nation is void of leadership, and Trump sounds like a moron.

I can see that. You can support the protesters and what they are standing up for, but you don't have to support the actions of those hell bent on destroying ****.

Quite a few cities having riots -- IE cities with Democrat rule for generations. The people get the government they deserve said Disraeli. Until those people leave those cities or see that voting Democrat keeps them in an abusive marriage with lawlessness, we'll continue to see this cycle.

Barr intends to use a 1968 law that made it illegal to cross state lines and incite riots to go after the nerve center of the operation -- let's hope:

Trump gets it right. These "protests" are no longer about the killing of black man by a white cop. The protests have been co-opted by outside, organized forces, whose propose is to spread discord and anarchy. The DOJ, under Barr, gets it too. They are going to start pressing felony charges against these outsiders.

The failure is with pajama boy mayors like that kid in Minneapolis that prevents law enforcement from doing it's job. Speaking of morons, a governor that says this has to do with white supremacists and drug cartels is off the rails. These riots are all local issues, and need to be dealt with locally. Unfortunately, too many of these cities have allowed these groups to take hold with impunity. Look at Portland, where police stand down when these punks take over the streets. Until that changes, **** like this will continue.

And don't get me started with the media.

Tired of seeing the police act like this? They were begging the police to act like that.
