General Police Misconduct aka Murdering Black People

[Khrz]

Relatively to your preceding point, it means a huge fucking deal, yeah.

[Swykk]

Jesus, I'm beginning to become paranoid all over again. So much misinformed idiotic trolling in so few posts...is that you, GanduGains?

[newmodel87]

I guess virtue signalling the best you guys have to offer? The black community thanks you.

[Sarah K]

Weren't you moving on?

[emptydesk]

"Virtue signalling" -- a phrase that seems to give you a hard-on, is just some bullshit to make people feel better about themselves for not doing anything. It's the same as SJW or PC.

You asked me why I don't do anything to help, and told me I should talk to people. When I explained that it's all I do, you invent a new goalpost: That treatment or palliative care of any problem is pointless if I'm not providing a cure. Visit a hospice and let me know if nobody is helping anyone.

[orestes]

Please, as if that means anything but go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. Virtue signalling aside, there's plenty of people who are routinely managing symptoms but not the root of the problem and this doesn't solve much in the long run and that has been exactly my point the entire time. For example: On a massive scale, the cancer industry has raised billions and billions and billions of dollars over many decades and the rates of cancer have not gone down. They may be helping some people but in the bigger picture, they are failing the populace. This isn't negativity, this is truth. When progress isn't being made, one must concede this truth and thoroughly examine the issue and come up with new ways to solve the problem. Again, this is exactly my point.

Ah, I see we're taking a page out of the 2008 RNC, in which we mock community activists. Tell me, what the fuck do you do?

The DOJ's report on the Baltimore PD leaked and holy shit, this is beyond the pale.

[Swykk]

This tastes delicious...http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...artment-227468. Here's to hoping this asshole gets taken all the way down.

Ugh, awful.

[Sarah K]

Where to even begin lately! Ugh.

[allegro]

Where to even begin lately! Ugh.

Ugh, totally, really disturbing shit. Videos that I can't begin to understand.

Meanwhile, this story and the videos are fucking horrifying as well. At least this cop WAS sent to prison for four years (it should have been longer).

[tony.parente]

ETS hates cops, so you guys might find this funny. I laughed.

[thevoid99]

I know this isn't the right place to post this but I feel this is important as it relates to a lot of what is happening.

Surprised this hasn't been talked about yet:

New Ferguson Video Adds Wrinkle to Michael Brown Case

Surprised this hasn't been talked about yet:

Why? It doesn't really change A) the contents of the initial video that was shown of him pushing the owner of the store or B) the fact that the store maintains they were robbed.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39238309

None of the store data is relevant because the cop who told Brown to get out of the street (and who later shot and killed Brown) didn't know that Brown was connected to a robbery.

[Louie_Cypher]

everyone need to see this especially now
-louie

[Louie_Cypher]

so that whole accusation here's what really happened it was early we were watching fox and Friends, then Steve came in and said."are you you totally crapping your pants about coming up with a health care plan"honest believe me that's what happened. dJT

[Jinsai]

I'm not following you here Louie... isn't this the wrong thread? I'm so confused...

[allegro]

Sad sad sad reality. Entrepreneur Black kids sell water to tourists as a summer job, are suddenly surrounded by armed D.C. Undercover cops and handcuffed in front of tourists "for the safety of the officers" because Black kids selling water are so dangerous to armed cops.

Stockley was found not guilty.

Excellent. I have a wedding downtown tonight. And I have a flight in the morning.

fuck

EDIT: Serious question, do you think a black lives matter sticker on my window might save my car from being damaged tonight? How do I blend in?

Serious answer: No and the wedding is probably a terrible idea.

This wedding was supposed to take place this Friday in Lake Worth Florida today and they had to call it off. First they got hit by Hurricane Irma, now they’re getting hit with Hurricane Stockley.

[ltrandazzo]

I feel so good about this protest knowing that a "friend" of mine who panned the removal of confederate monuments as cultural erasure is down there working the protest.

He's a St. Louis Metro Police officer BTW.

[tony.parente]

I just arrived at the wedding venue, I’m about a mile from the arch and everything seems very calm. I know it’s still daylight and the violent folks only come out at night but hopefully this is a sign that tonight and the next few days will be relatively smooth for everyone.

[Swykk]

I am laughing (not a funny laugh, but rather the kind of laugh you do when a child throws a tantrum but then immediately trips or bumps its head. Basically the Nelson laugh) at the cops gassing themselves and trying to blame it on protesters. Typical.

this is so screwed up, ugh. wtf.

[Swykk]

Jesus. Remember when I said repeatedly in this thread that we need to change the way we hire and monitor police?

Clearly, this guy isn’t fit for the job.
