  1. Man, someone should vote that police union guy out of office. Oh, that's right. Whenever the public or politicians want to discuss police reform, they are met with bullshit like "it's just a few bad apples" and "BACK THE BLUE". All of which are attempts to quell any legitimate discussion on how to make things better. Again, Obama was the worst thing ever because he took an actual critical approach to policing versus "well, I back the blue".

  2. Just now, WhatTheBuck said:

    I'd like to see the evidence that justifies that decision. If there is any. Which I doubt. 

    He saw it on Fox News, no doubt. Look, Antifa is a piece of shit and they are co-opting a legitimate moment in time. But there is no doubt this move will be used to justify a harder crack down on any future protest, even if completely peaceful. 

  3. Shades of Bush Sr in 1992. Neither see systemic racism in the police force as a problem. It's just "a few bad apples". It's always just a few bad apples.

    Ashamed that I had to learn about that from an HBO Comic Book Movie that I didn't even like. Massacre, indeed.

    Hard to dismiss this actions as anomalies when they never seem to stop.

    Shame.

    Yep. Same here. And there's a lot of history of the city I was born in and still occupy that's been whitewashed. A lot of lynchings in Dallas that never made the history classes I was taught growing up. 

  5. And you're kidding yourself if you think there aren't white guys there throwing shit at cops, setting fires, breaking windows, and turning over cars. There are white people there intentionally amping things up for their own purposes. Go through Twitter and look at the footage from Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Nashville, and Minneapolis and tell me there aren't white people behind those face coverings doing exactly that.

  6. Why would Trump say anything? He's the law and order guy. Law and order means quelling riots and protests. Getting tough with "law breakers". He's fine with police shooting rubber bullets at protestors. He's fine with tear gassing the media. He simply does not give a shit because no one has forced him to be accountable. Not a single Republican stands up to him. They are so afraid to lose power that they'll go along with it.
