PokerPacker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Everythin that is happening right now is the type of thing that has always been at the top of my blood-boiling list. If we're looking at private citizens doing this to other private citizens, lethal force would be 100% legal. Police do this to private citizens, then any sign of defense against their battery permits escalated "accidentally lethal" force the other way. Those cops belong in prison with a nice big sign around their necks stating what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly hope Republicans are looking at this, we have a major US problem with these forces, it's not just impacting the libs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Texas State Student Critically Injured During Austin Protest A Texas State University student was critically injured during a protest in Austin on Sunday. The injured person has been identified as Justin Howell, according to university President Denise Trauth. Howell, 20, is a Texas State student from San Antonio who is pursuing a degree in political science. “Black Lives Matter,” Trauth said in a message to students, faculty and staff. “It is not debatable at Texas State. Justin Howell's life matters. Black lives matter in our classrooms, on our campuses, and in the streets during tumultuous protests. They matter every moment of every day, no exceptions, no debate. I am committed to the struggle for their dignity, humanity, rights, voice and safety.” In a media briefing, Austin Police Department Chief Brian Manley said police video shows Justin Howell, who was standing near APD Headquarters, standing next to a man who threw a water bottle and his backpack toward police at around 11 p.m. on Sunday. Manley said an officer fired a “less-lethal” munition at the man who hurled the backpack but instead Howell was struck in the head. “(Howell) then fell to the ground,” Manley said. “A crowd of protesters picked him up and carried him under the eighth street bridge across the street from police headquarters. I believe they realized the severity of the injuries and they were talking to officers about him needing medical help. They were giving direction to bring him to the officers and as is being widely-reported and as is currently under review, it’s reported that they were fired upon with ‘less-lethal’ munitions as they brought this victim toward the officers to get him medical help.” Video captured on Twitter shows APD officers firing multiple shots of the ‘less-lethal’ munitions as Howell was being carried toward police headquarters. A person carrying Howell was struck in the hand by an “impact munition.” Howell was taken to a local hospital. Manley said APD immediately began an investigation into the incident and is ongoing. Howell suffered a fractured skull and has brain damage, according to The Battalion, Texas A&M's student newspaper, where Howell's brother, Joshua, works as its opinion editor. “We are praying for this young man and his family, and we’re hoping that his condition improves quickly,” Manley said. State Rep. Erin Zwiener said Howell was exercising his first amendment right to demonstrate and didn't deserve to be shot in the head. “I am horrified at what I saw on the video, and it raises serious questions about the actions of the Austin Police Department,” Zwiener said. “Firing 'less lethal' rounds indiscriminately into a crowd is never acceptable, and a young man is fighting for his life because of their poor judgment. Our police officers should not behave like they’re in a combat zone and Americans are the enemy.” Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees is a grown man, he can stand on his own two feet and think for himself and speak for himself. He did yesterday and promptly got schooled. True. It just reminded me of the same crap Trump was spewing at the time and just wouldn't shut up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 OMG Buffalo Police may have killed an elderly man tonight. I am not going to share the video but just know they lied and said he tripped and fell. It's crazy there's probably many people on this very forum who think the police aren't professional liars.
