Jarrett Culver jersey?

My question is this: How are the alleged peace keepers to determine the difference at 1:30 AM in the mayhem? I'm not defending them, to be clear; I'm asking how the fuck anyone can tell the difference without arresting or heaven forbid, shooting them. Some people were posting as if it was possible just to stop the outsiders.

I think he kept going, thus my connection with the thread title.

I'm a little puzzled at the outrage at the disruption all the sudden, as if ' only the home team is allowed to tear our shit up.' How the fuck is LE or Natty Guard supposed to determine who is justifiably pissed and who is deliberately fucking shit up? The good guys have a T'Wolves cap on and the bullet catchers are wearing Cincinnati gear?

That seems more like anarchists. Just seemed to me white power groups would be celebrating scoreboard with the murder of a black man by the po-po's. None of them have anything constructive or positive for our nation, but they are enabled by our unwillingness to hold people accountable.

seems like white supremacists would be siding with the cops... also been hearing multiple tales of anarchists/ Antifah/ paid political operatives/ whomever the fuck else joining in on the looting/ rioting. At this point, it's all symptomatic, IMHO. Don't lose focus on the reason it's happening in the first place. Hold LE accountable.

thread title just makes this pop into my head every time...

Pancho, I hear you. You are not alone in wanting change. You are not alone. We may not always agree on the path to get there, in fact we seldom do; but I do believe we want the same thing- that EVERY citizen of this country enjoys the same rights & freedoms while having said liberty protected under the law. The opportunity to pursue life, liberty, and happiness should be there for EVERY citizen until they choose to break that social contract, not just because someone views them as different or worse, inferior. We've got to change as a society and pull in the same direction. IDK if that is possible. Hell, we have educated, able people on here who fight/ argue constantly over why their agenda should prevail and we actually have a modicum of respect for each other. The law doesn't say we have to all like each other though. That same law should stand for everyone though. It has to.

Python wanted a spring roll...

Your chica's side of the mattress?

Go on and take it?

I'm not supporting the looting/ mayhem. I'm just saying I understand it. I empathize with them. Doesn't make it right. What happened to George Floyd is light years from "right" too. It's past time that society reacted to it. Laws need to be enhanced to address it. Make it where these dumbasses don't feel like they have carte blanche with people's lives.

Of course there are going to be more posts there...without the political bullshit. If you see a political post, report it. It's that simple. The only redeeming value of the cat-fighting in all of this is when the cabal clamors to fuck up DT with their nonsense. "We won't be ignored, gotdammit!" In all honesty, 90% of the posters in CR don't bother me. There is a very, very active underlying group of posters who do the ghost negs( neg without posting in the thread) and "yeah for our team" horseshit. Turn off Rep and that all disappears. To be clear, IDGAF about my rep score, but the shenanigans in that whole process are still a beating. After a long ass time, I finally decided, "I'm out. there is no desire to have a real conversation." There are too many posters who don't participate in the conversation but rain rep down in a thread. It's idiocy. Never had a problem with the mods on this board or Shag days. I've earned some timeouts and take no issue there.

It isn't just those 4 cops. It's the notion that they didn't have to worry about repercussions for ending a (black) citizen's life. Walk yourself through the mindset required to watch your co-worker crush the life out of someone...in handcuffs and not resisting.

Stache and I disagree on plenty. He ain't even close to being wrong on that response. Why the shot at him like that?

The system created all of those steals too...LOLz. Dem system QBs are the future( and present) of the NFL, as well.

so we're gonna pretend the cop wasn't kneeling on him, or that it did not factor in the death? As if the same thing would have happened if victim was running on a treadmill at the Y?

Death is too civil. Yes, really. I'd rather he be looking over his shoulder every day in gen pop. Long game.

a high and tight is pretty damned standard...and certainly not unique to SF, Just sayin.

I like the military line of thinking and would go with, "If convicted of a felony, said officer rescinds any claim to current benefits or those in the future. STFU, do not pass go, and go to jail." I'm fine with piling on the financial hit, but I would much prefer to go after their liberty, especially if their conviction involves depriving others of theirs. If you're a negligent supervisor, then you get fired with nothing due past that day and can never work in LE again. Pollyannic, I know... but it's what i think it will take to change things.

No. I have never been arrested, nor has anyone in my immediate family. But it is not remotely unreasonable to have an expectation of being treated with professionalism and civility when the citizen is compliant with LE. That’s the bottom line, IMHO.

No, it was the other 90% of his message.

No dumbass. Liberty means you get to do what you want, and everyone else must grant you an audience. He was Never prosecuted by any legal entity. He wasn’t guaranteed a platform for his grievances at work. Boo fucking hooo. The motherfuckers who want to conflate Kaepernick’s idiocy with what’s wrong in Minnesota ( our society) are willfully ignoring the Che shirts, saying the freedom in the anthem didn’t apply to him( it absolutely did,) and other bullshit ole SJW brought to the party. Kaep can go fuck himself. People need to stop misremembering how things went down. Cops need to be accountable. Period. So do their superiors.
