I just saw a piece on CNN about this. Glad they took it out. Tear them down. Remove them. Get monuments to people who fought to keep slavery in existence the fuck out of here.

There will be a law of diminishing returns on the protests/riots and looting as we are already seeing. The crazies will start to lash out, and the silent majority will quietly condemn while saying “I support BLM, but....”
The shelf life is turning quickly
Is it? All I'm seeing since Thursday is peaceful protests every day with a few exceptions like the anarchists in Seattle going at it with police. Curfew lifted which has led to less confrontations with the police. National Guard troops are leaving. Calm pretty much restored.

Never really listened to Run the Jewels. But if @Bozo_Casanova and @bad_teammate both like them, they must suck.
No, it's good. Get on it.

up until floyds death(which was caused by a knee to the throat) how many deaths were caused by MPD with military style weapons in the last year, 2 years, 5 years? what is a military style weapon.
I wasn't referring to deaths. I mean the general warrior style policing that we see now that makes the police even more of an us vs them system. And military style weapons like APCs and mine proof vehicles are what I'm talking about. Their budget is 7 billion dollars. Surely a good portion of that could be moved to efforts that are more beneficial. I'm very interested to see what they come up wtih.

They can overreact and quit. I doubt the people who are being abused and overpoliced will mind. Maybe MPD will stop having military style weapons that are only used on citizens and not the terrorists they were intended for. Maybe mental health, crisis management, and de-escalation services will be fully funded. There will still be police, they will just be managed in a different fashion. Again, if you don't like it as a cop then you have options. If you are fine with 4 officers being called out for a call about a counterfeit $20 bill that leads to a man's death then I guess doing nothing is fine.

HA! Thinking posting that 41% as an all-time high is a good thing.
