Looting...

Unfortunately juries have always been easy on cops committing crimes, think about all the acquittals. In the name of self defense and feeling threaten, they can get away with almost everything.

This brings up a good point actually. In a small town or more rural area, everyone knows everyone and the police are your neighbors, friends, acquaintances. It’s a lot harder to dehumanize and abuse folks you know even if you don’t like them, (assuming we aren’t talking about a straight up sociopath).

In large urban areas, without a strong concerted effort to walk the beat, get to know folks and engage in community policing, you tend to get a police force that looks like an occupying military with fobs in strategic locations and the cops running combat and recon mounted patrols. This builds fear and distrust between both the citizens and the police.

If the police feel like they aren’t part of the community they serve, and the people don’t feel like the police are there to help them, distrust, fear grow and leads to terrible outcomes.

Now, add in to the above, the catastrophic “war on drugs” which decimated communities of color disproportionately And really began the militarization of our police forces, the offshoring of decent semi skilled manual labor jobs in the 70s on up (Baltimore’s docks are a good example), the criminalization of poverty, and of course our country’s as yet unhealed original sin of slavery, aka racism

And you get police brutality, it’s almost guaranteed.

This isn’t going to get better until we as a country acknowledge both the good and the bad in our history. There was a post a while back on here that very succinctly listed all the bad regarding African Americans/slavery and institutional racism from our earliest days to present.

At its core racism makes one group view another as subhuman, we do this type of thing all the time bc in order to commit violence on another group of people, or disenfranchise them, they must be viewed as other and worse than us, this also keeps public opinion on your side. War is a perfect example, we don’t kill our equal people who we respect and view as fully human, we kill krauts, japs, gooks, hajis etc. it makes it less traumatic and easier to justify. It applies from the other side too, Americans are evil capitalists, the white devil etc.

Europeans didn’t view Africans as inferior until the expansion of slavery in the 1600s. Then you suddenly get “science”, pseudo science like phrenology falling all over themselves to justify slavery bc “they’re” not equal. These attitudes are still engrained in our society today. The heartbreaking thing is, it’s unbridled capitalism that leads to slavery, after all the lowest cost for labor is free labor. Capitalism without ethics, or morals (if you want a more religious word) always leads to evil outcomes. It hurts the victims but it also hurts society and the folks that economically benefit from it too. Violence begets violence, the pre civil war south was much more violent than the north, even white on white violence bc when your surrounded by pain suffering, cheapening of human life, that’s what tends to get reflected back.


I am a patriot, I love and have sacrificed for this country and ALL her people. I believe in the aspirational ideals of our constitution and bill of rights. But those things and the American dream, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must apply equally fairly and justly to All citizens. We’re not there yet.

Some CCP propaganda for y’all to chew on...

My younger sister first saw these in the Chinese social media/chat software WeChat days ago, when the protest first started.

The Chinese are laughing at us. If you have this kind of protest in China. They would bring in the tanks and run over people. Just look at what happened at Tiananmen Square. The CCP erased it from their history.

Just keep mentioning 6-4, 6-4, tank man on wechat, see how fast you get banned. Heck post anything with those key words on the troll's profile. It will get them banned so fast. It works

Their social media supposedly links to the person’s real identity. Not sure if it’s possible for normal folks to setup a fake profile. Saying anything anti CCP on that platform is literally suicide.

Riddle me this Batman.

Here's a thought. With the protests and looting going on. You have a force at work called Darwinism. We're in the middle of a pandemic with this cornavirus. What ever happened with safe distancing of 6 ft. Every news video I seen. You have people standing shoulder to shoulder. The virus hits the black community the hardest. In 2 to 3 weeks. If this virus is nasty as they say. The black community will be in big trouble. Is this the start of the 2nd wave of cornavirus? If in a month. There is no big increase in cases of cornavirus. Would you say the virus is over? Are the protesters and looters bringing on their own demise?

That's why it is easy to shut them down by sending them tank man. Heck, even sending Pooh bear is a death sentence. If they are being dicks, fire away.

The virus is culling the herd. Blacks and the old and a few others for good measure. Part of this is good old mother nature at work unless you believe the conspiracy theories. Either way same thing. Also I have heard no information on how the virus is impacting the homeless communities. The should be dying like crazy and don't tell me how they are isolated from the "normal folk because that is BS many of them move in an out of their camps are on the streets in downtown and business areas. If we don't see a spike from Memorial weekend starting next week then we just learned something!

Putting words in my mouth is not merely asking a question.

Maybe I read that wrong but, especially with the "Really?" stuck on, it sounded more like an accusation to me.

So if he added Fox, that would have been enough for you? How about BBC? What about the Chinese or Russian media outlets? Does he have to mention every single media outlet in existence for the statement not to be questioned?

I heard from a grapevine starting next year we will be celebrating MLK day and GF day!

I have high respect for the belief and principles of MLK.....but

whats actually the true life story of GF? Who is he as a person to society?

I denounce the way he was treated and allegedly died at the hands of the unlawful police officers.

Im denouncing the act....period

But to idolize and emulate GF....God forgive us of our transgression and the manner how we adore evil!

Politicians even use GF to get popular votes of people to keep them in power.
This is sickening to my stomach!

Where are the nurses, doctors, paramedics who died saving lives because of the Covid19.

But no GF lived a better life and died heroically than these people.. he deserves the all the credit in society. Yes people that is what have we become!

GF life matters the most!

Haters of good lovers of evil!

ZontheRocks

Nobody said GEORGE FLOYD died heroically.

The man died while crying out for his late-mother.

Your lack of empathy hurts my soul.
