Destino Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 17 minutes ago, visionary said: This probably needs its own thread because a brief look into this has left me confused. The senate passed an anti Lynching bill, apparently, and the house could have voted on that and been done with it. They want their own version instead. I can’t find any story that details the substantive differences between the two. I can’t find an article that discusses if Rand Paul’s concerns are valid either.

LD0506 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 plus ça change Quote Republican leaders in four Texas counties shared racist Facebook posts, some of which also floated conspiracy theories, leading Gov. Greg Abbott to call for two of them to resign. Abbott and other top Texas Republicans called for the resignation of the GOP chairs in Bexar and Nueces counties after they shared on social media a conspiracy theory that Floyd's death was a "staged event," apparently to gin up opposition to President Donald Trump. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/06/04/texas-greg-abbott-bexar-GOP-conspiracy/?utm_campaign=trib-social-buttons&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR0F1IoxsWXfJXzZkyEnom_G-Z2OCVmAFxUMVb4lg8x1O5Drmd3oDoyMwPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKskins Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Just read this on twitter. It takes just 12 weeks to train a Minneapolis police officer before they get given a gun and a badge. The Met (London) takes two years to train an (unarmed) officer. That's your problem. That should be step 1 of any police reforms - teaching them how to do the job in the first place. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Simi Valley Official, LAPD Veteran Posts Meme Mocking Protesters, Face Masks SIMI VALLEY (CBSLA) – A Simi Valley city official is facing calls for his resignation after a social media post in which he referred to the use of hoses on protesters as a solution to end the rioting and unrest across much of Southern California. Mayor Pro Tem Mike Judge posted the meme on his Facebook page Monday, which read, “Wanna stop the riots? Mobilize the septic tank trucks, put a pressure cannon on ’em, and hose ’em down. The end.” Judge – who is also 30-year veteran with the LAPD – said the meme was a joke meant to poke fun at the face mask debate. He wrote a caption at the top of the meme that read, “This is brilliant. It will also enforce the mask rule.” “That’s all I wanted to do, was make fun of the mask wearing but obviously people didn’t take it that way,” he said. “I don’t think I did anything wrong, except maybe post a joke that was in bad taste.” Judge’s social media pages have been flooded with comments from people critical of his post, with one person pointing out the hoses used on black protesters in the 1960s, to which Judge replied, “Are you equating the peaceful protests of the ’60s with the rioting and looting of today?” Judge – who dismisses any accusations that he is a racist and says he respects the right to protest – said he doesn’t believe Simi Valley should host a scheduled protest this weekend. “We have gotten a bad rap because of the Rodney King trial, and I think it puts us in a cross hair and I think drawing more attention to us is not a good idea,” he said.

Warhead36 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yep. Hilarious to me that the pro 2nd amendment gun nuts are all about standing up to government tyranny. Now there is actual real government tyranny and they don't do jack. MAGAs are the biggest cowards I've ever seen. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGAs are the biggest cowards I've ever seen. It's not cowardice (not in the way you describe it). Same with Alex Jones railing against the "Police State" years ago. The "Opression" they speak of is that of the White man. Not immigrants, not people of color, or gay/trans or Muslims or Jews. White Christian men.

It won't be easy, but they need to make being a cop more prestigious, better paying, etc. The talk of de-funding the police is asinine...they should be investing more so that you attract better candidates and can properly train/groom the candidates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying this for years. Instead, we burn the budgets on surplus tactical gear and then send the patrols out to cover the deficit by ginning up traffic fees and such. Pure idiocy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
