Is America burning? (Black Lives Matter protests, civil unrest and riots 2020)

[bimble]

Fucks sake stop talking about stupid Martin please.
Eta sorry that looks really cross it’s just frustration. He’s so very not interesting & to make it about him when he’s not even here is just as the President would say, sad.

Post-racism America, pt 7,915:

Omaha prosecutor declares no charges to be brought against a bar owner with a lapsed conceal carry permit who shot dead a young black protester, says ‘he doesn't understand why racism exists in America and that perhaps it's because we don't get to know one another well enough: “The color of someone's skin makes no difference to me.”’ #whycantwebemorelikekleine

No charges in Scurlock death; family responds after Douglas County attorney outlines lack of case

No charges will be filed in the death of 22-year-old James Scurlock against the business owner who fired the fatal shot Saturday night in the Old Market.

And people trying to say that this nation is not terminally diseased.

Obviously not every cell in a terminally sick body will be affected, but the body as a whole?

Tell me how a healthy USA can emerge? Something else can come from it, I'm sure, but the USA?

Nah.

Don’t think he has an ideology tbh . I’m always amazed at isolated people who become immersed in American politics who know nothing about our own history or politics .

also don't you live in spain or portugal

So Boston police. (Not confirmed)

How independent investigations into the deaths of citizens at the hands of the state's armed agents work:

• National Guard &/or Louisville Metro PD ‘return’ fire towards protesters/people in a BBQ shop queue
• Restauranteur dies
• Kentucky State Police will investigate
• Triple exonerations all round!

Investigation launched into LMPD, National Guard fatal shooting of West End business owner

Gov. Andy Beshear said Kentucky State Police will investigate how Louisville Metro Police and National Guard members shot a man at Dino's Food Mart.

Or maybe they're removing the broken windscreen so the driver can see where they're going to move the car?

You really reckon they're smashing their own motor up whilst being filmed by fuck knows how many people?

Erm...out of interest what point do you think you're making here Ax^?

Police intelligence is a contradiction of terms.

Police intelligence is a contradiction of terms.

they're just removing the windscreen so it can be moved safely away, blatantly. It isn't just the police lacking a bit in the intelligence department.

Yeah I don't get it. Care to explain further?

One could say the same of a lot of Twitter posters. No need to repeat it here.

Meanwhile.

George Floyd died of asphyxia, private post-mortem finds

African-American man whose death sparked protests died due to police officers' actions, examiners say.

not really if he is going to defend a guy who is currently banned for being a alt right pimple its another issue but best suited to another thread

He wasn't defending him. He specifically talked of him not getting banned for much worse bollocks is all. I don't think you're on very strong ground for trying to have a go at a committed anti-fascist like The39thStep because he's retired to Portugal.

That's going to change things.

 

[Mation]

That's a possibility.

And for almost every instance of some appalling police action or instance of racism, and likely both, there will be a plausible alternative for that instance.

The post said "not confirmed". Do you need to jump in with the mitigating speculation? How will it help, given that people really are experiencing extreme behaviour from police right now?

 

[cupid_stunt]

Yep, extend the protests.

What a fucked up situation.

if so i argee with him as i've been saying it for months


it was not a dig at his country of residence as i don't know his history

more a reaction as my take on it as "why do you give a shite about us politics if you don't live there"

My mistake

 

[Mation]

You really reckon they're smashing their own motor up whilst being filmed by fuck knows how many people?

That's sensible and logical, but totally counter to the actuality of police who will kneel on a man's neck, on camera, until he is dead.

You can't base your response on what you think is reasonable. You have to look at what's actually happening, even if it defies (your; my) logic.

They're clearing a broken windscreen!

Obviously!

How will posting obvious bullshit help anyone? It's blatantly obvious what's happening in the video.

 

[Mation]

Ok. You're probably right.

But it's not obvious to everyone. And there are all sorts of other comments about apparently obviously innocuous actions that are unhelpful.

I probably shouldn't be posting tbh.

Fake news, it fell down the stairs.
