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

Their excuse of we were only following orders’ has sadly been heard far too many times.
Aside from it being a bullshit excuse anyway, I don't understand how it really fits here. Their orders can't have been "knock over a 75 year old and don't go to his assistance as he bleeds out of his head" :confused:

I guess maybe orders might be "don't engage, don't help" or something, but it's still a particularly weak version of an already weak excuse.
 
Quelle surprise. The guy with the bike has been ID'd. Aaaaand:

The ex-cop is off the hook - a salesman called Anthony Brennan turned himself in, he's been fired and faces three assault charges.

 
This is good to see...


dunno, kneeling cops changes nothing, if sincere then they need to address the behaviour of colleagues and challenge how they are expected to operate rather than token gestures. Similarly those saying ‘it’s not a black vs white issue’ reads to me like saying everything is fine, structural racism doesn‘t exist and all we have to do is call out obvious racists on Twitter or something. Society needs a lot more than this.

Some of that is genuinely heartwarming, but some is bullshit. Cops kneeling is an empty gesture, and those same cops will be back on the front lines come night time, batons at the ready.
 
The only time kneeling means anything is if you do it when you're meant to be standing for the national anthem. I don't think many of the cops we've seen kneeling in solidarity would do it in those circumstances.
 
How/why are they on full pay? I've quit a few jobs in my time, and er, I stopped getting paid. Which I can't really quibble about.
 
40 million?

It was 20million in April,
It's being reported that the entire Buffalo PD goon squad has resigned “in disgust” at the suspension of two of its members for fucking up that older dude and making blood pump out of his ear, because they're super classy, not total snowflakes, and definitely all about the justice:





They can't win. Go around killing defenceless black people and they get called 'racist,' When they go out of their way to assault defenceless 75year old white man people still complain.. They may be arseholes, but they are equal opportunity arseholes
