Carrie Maxwell of Bakersfield, California, had grown very disturbed by the sound of protesters near her home on June 5th. She could hear “profanities” being yelled as protesters marching against police brutality and racism engaged with Trump-flag waving counter-protesters and grew frustrated when police said there was nothing they could do.
Anxiety, why do you always get the best of me?

He won't frame it as quitting. He'll say there's a coup or the Deep State is threatening him or some shit that makes it sound like leaving is his only option. And then he'll run to OAN and claim that THIS is actually the more important position, a place where he can REALLY tell the public what is going on.
But I hope you're right, the thought of him losing is something that gets me through the day.
Wonder what happens to Qanon under any scenario in which he is no longer in office on Jan 2021?

Maybe you missed my earlier post. I'll post it again for you:
QuoteI worked a couple years in a courthouse that served primarily a Latino area of town.
All criminal fillings were misdemeanors in this particular courthouse.
What I saw was a systematic war waged on that community. I saw hundreds (yes hundreds) of criminal arrests that began with stops for bicycle code violations - riding the wrong way on the street, riding a bike on a sidewalk, or riding without a headlight.
I saw pretextual stops of both pedestrians and cars daily.
I saw police and sheriffs routinely lie in reports. I caught two cops on the stand committing perjury. When they realized they were busted (by their own dashcam nonetheless) they laughed on the stand. Quick NG verdicts and cops were back on the street that day. Defendants spent over a month in jail waiting for those verdicts. DAs office does nothing to lying cops because their union pumps money into the DA's election war-chest.
Fuck police
They've waged an insidious war for decades. Sorry your feelings are getting hurt.
Notice how I didnt come across a single case of police murdering someone. Would you say the above is acceptable? Would you say that its police brutality?
My experience is the norm is minority majority communities.
The police target people of color. End of story.

The black people I’ve seen pictures of carrying around their AR-15’s at protests have not been harassed by police. Imagine that
Yeah, fair to say both groups of protesters have been treated equally.

We should take a similar approach to UK Bobbies. The problem is we have so many guns on the street it is a serious threat that UK Bobbies don't have to face.
You can't sent a man into a shit fight with piss.
Make local beat cops carry less-lethal with lethal (shot gun/9mm) backup in the trunk, but only 1 mag. Supervisor has the reserve.
De-escalate the situation instead of bulldogging. More Sheriff Andy, less Vic Mackey (no Surly connection).
Right. So in the .1% of cases that involve suspects armed with fireams, we should probably have people equipped to handle this. Just like the UK.

Communities have been marching, protesting, lobbying, and crying for police reform for 40 years. Those cries were met with increased police funding and militarization, when not totally ignored.
Now, those same communities are crying out "defund the police," and white America responds with "whoa, whoa, whoa. I think we're better off reforming and let me tell you why...."

I’m not seeing any of the usual suspects in the DT thread express their support of these millions of peaceful protesters across the country. It’s almost as if it’s only a throwaway phrase appended to “but these thugs and looters can get fucked.”
My favorite was Johnny Sack stopping by to make one post to remind everyone that the Obama administration used drones on American citizens in 2011.

Which promises? I guess the tax cut (not really for the masses) and judges, but what else?
Waging a war on minorities and immigrants and accelerating the destruction of the planet come to mind.

..and the thing is abortion is never going to be illegal. The best they can hope for is some restrictions that water down the existing law. If it were ever going to be illegal and the R's truly wanted it to be illegal, it would have been done by now. It is just a pipe dream and the R's are just paying it lip service instead of, you know if they were really concerned about the unborn, doing more on the front end to prevent it or on the back end doing more to support the affected.
I'm not so sure about that. If RGB is replaced by another Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, etc., I think that's it. This is not the 1980s supreme court anymore. Roberts may try to save it, but that's not enough.

According to whom? I don’t care who it is, far right, far left. I don’t trust anybody. I don’t trust any news source. I don’t trust any cop, I don’t trust any mayor, I don’t trust any DA, I don’t trust any governor, I don’t trust any form of government. My father was murdered by a cop in my brother was murdered by a gang member. Everybody on the street is the enemy of my family’s peace.
Cool, you seem sane.

Smashing a forklift into a Best Buy is wrong.
Looting stores in NY is wrong.
No, fuck you man. Guy spams the board with Laura Ingrahm, Andy Ngo, Jack Poseibic and Tucker Carlson. Made a post arguing there's no racial bias in the criminal justice system
Dude clearly has an agenda. Which is fine. In the CR.
But keep white-knighting for the racist troll you fucking clown.

I am sure mr. floyd's ex wife is hurting, for herself and her daughter, but the issue with fatherless families is not police killings, criminal or otherwise.
Right. They're in prison. In large part because of a racist criminal justice system.

I’m going to preface this by saying i haven’t read this thread and I don’t know exactly how this works...
Have the other 3 officers involved in the incident been charged with anything? Is there anything they can be charged with? That’s what made that situation so egregious. You have your “one bad apple” as pro-cop guy will say, but then you have 3 guys that could’ve easily stepped in and prevented a murder. That seems like a microcosm for a lot of police precincts. What is it about the culture of police officers that make it to where they rarely ever out one of their own? Im not even trying to call anyone out, I’m genuinely asking the question. That is clearly the biggest issue, and in most people’s opinion, where the change needs to happen. Right? I know it’s not that simple, so what exactly am I missing? Because there are plenty of precincts around the nation where EVERYONE knows the bad apple, yet they are still employed.
If a civilian slowly choked the life out of a victim while 3 of his buddies stood by making sure no one interfered in the killing, they would all be charged with murder as an accomplice or accessory.
