Jumbo Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Adhere to the following: 1. do not make posts that call for specific acts of violence on specific public figures---even if you have a justifiably and appropriately (in your view) harsh reaction to something, find a way to express those thoughts and feelings in a way that doesn't cross those lines 2. return the "cops needing to be fired" thread to just that specifically, and not this (and vice-versa) 3. given the topic and the times----try hard to keep your heads on straight and your feet on the ground, planted for balance---these are the times we need that the most, and my own head is looser than it's been in a long time and my feet hurt regularly so i need all the help i can get myself start your engines, be responsible while still energized, and stay safe 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 per this summer as this goes one: keep in mind there are huge numbers of cops all over the nation who hate this racist/other ****...we need to be mindful of that, too, while not letting up on those who are the problem, and yes there are huge numbers of them too, sadly 16 minutes ago, Mooka said: <mod edit> nah, that's not what this was, if i'm taking that correctly---the right thing for you to do is edit the second part or all of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These crazy videos going around makes it easy to forget that there are some solid ladies and gentlemen that protect our tails every day, it's a shame that the scumbags cloud thzleir good deeds. I think/hope this situation opens up more communication between all parties, that's truly the only thing that will resolve this situation.

PleaseBlitz Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) William Barr is something else yall. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/02/george-floyd-protests-live-updates/ Quote Attorney General William P. Barr personally ordered law enforcement officials on the ground to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square in Washington to push back protesters just before President Trump spoke Monday, a Justice Department official said. These are the peaceful protesters that got tear-gassed so Trump could have a photo-op at a Church. Edited June 2, 2020 by PleaseBlitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I hope those of us in MD took the time to vote by today. I further hope we took the time to look at the judicial slate of nominees to decide for whom to vote. Civil unrest is one thing, but at least take the time to address the things within our power. Obama said similar in his message I read yesterday: https://deadline.com/2020/06/former-president-obama-protest-politics-unrest-george-floyd-death-change-local-elections-specific-demands-are-key-1202948262/ 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent it off before they were accepting dropoffs too. You won't catch me voting by mail outside of pandemics anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 We really need someone to step up and become a spokesman. What kind of short term action is needed? Even if congress does something, it will not solve racism. Police Brutality is just a really small piece of the puzzle but just the most caught on camera. We need to figure out how to get people out of those poor communities and out of trouble. We need to fix why mass incarceration is higher in the black population, we need to provide more business opps, we need to get the school right. This will take decades to fix.

Burgold Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 For the life of me I can’t understand how the answer to people protesting citizens being abused or murdered by authority is to threaten to use the military against civilians. The only thing I can understand less is how so many elected Representatives choose to say nothing or support the illegal proposition. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
