visionary Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Sigh.... This growing mindset along with all the people calling for entirely replacing police with some sort of community alternative as if it’s a serious demand that America in general would accept right now, are a bit worrisome. Not to mention all the people pushing for the police to crack down harder and kill protesters from right and everyone freaked out and unsure what to do in the middle.

TheGreatBuzz Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 7 hours ago, The Sisko said: How many times have you had the police point guns at you? If the number is zero, I’ve got you plus one. How many times have you had a cop threaten you for no real reason? Again, I’ve probably got you by a few on that. As for having a gun pointed at me, I had a few. But I was also a ****head when younger. And I've been threatened and even arrested for no reason. In addition to a racism problem we have a cops abusing power problem. But none of that changes your statement being over the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) It’s going to be a prerequisite for every turd politician running for local elections to promise and then enact legislation that seriously curtails the authority of police and allows for their prosecution if they violate civil rights of people. I want to see minimum sentencing guidelines for cops who abuse their power. I am sick and tired of voting for “liberals” in blue communities whose views on the authority of law enforcement are meaningfully not much different than right wing authoritarian goons. I want the police state dismantled and I want all of their military gear thrown into the ocean. Edited May 31, 2020 by No Excuses 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max21 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Man this is all just crazy. I wonder what that cop is thinking right now, his actions have caused riots and distress across the entire globe. Maybe I’m “privileged” but I’m just not really sure why people want to sit in a circle holding hands in front of a swat/riot team. Just doesn’t make any sense to me. I can never understand people who can actually just go into stores and steal stuff with this is going on, nothing is worse than a thief. Some people just have no decency, makes me want to take my family and move to the mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privilege is being able to sit back and observe from afar, which in all honesty is what I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanboyOf91 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The only good thing I'm getting out of this is Roger Goodell getting **** on for the (usual) hollowness of his words. Colin Kaepernick won. ✊ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 So proud of ATL this morning. A few skirmishes, but folks heeded the curfew downtown...and we didn't end up on this screen, which is REALLY saying something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black parents have been delivering that lesson to their children for a long time out of necessity. It is not useful when people who are "professionally" trained in how to deal people choose to disregard that training because they feel like they are not dealing with someone who matters 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 After watching the live news last night of riots in DC with people hurling firecrackers and pushing dumpster fires at lines of cops, I woke up with a song in my head that just wont go away. This is the 'Land of Confusion' by Genesis sure seems to fit. Nobody comes off looking good in a riot. I sympathize with those saying there can be no peace without a sense that justice can be expected from our judicial system. I dont know what to teach my kids they can expect.

I know, I'm cynical but it's because I've been watching this cartoon for fifty years. There is an amazing ability to just ignore and pretend and roll back into your comfortable rut in this country. The forces calling the shots are not ever going to just walk away. Ever. Too much money, too much power, too much arrogance and hubris and the sick joy in grinding people under their heels. I agree about the 'Rona, saw most people in masks but too many without. Edited May 31, 2020 by LD0506 fat fingers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This is what happens when you ignore peaceful protesting. The same people trashing the looters/rioters are the same ones who trashed Kaepernick for kneeling because it was "DiSrEspeCtful to tHe trOOps!!1~" 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
