Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man

[Buzzrock 15115]

Interesting op-ed in the WSJ about the unintended consequences of scrutinizing police activity: crime goes up. Don’t know if this is paywall or not.

So you're saying we should do this whole police reform thing as slowly and laboriously as possible? /s

Take a look at the replies. The brick conspiracy is running through that one too. 

Was really hoping the QAnon idiots were finally going away, or at least confining themselves to the thousand-page thread over on TexAgs and the like, after twitter and reddit were banning a bunch of their stuff.  Those people do not even realize they are being played for fools.

Those in Houston, Art is about to be on NPRs Houston matters. 

So what's Art's endgame?  He seems to be positioning himself for some kind of political office.

And for folks in Houston, do they actually like him?

Probably better asked on the stupid Facebook thread but...

this is supposedly a screenshot of msnbc on top and world war z on bottom. It’s apparently circling the fake news types as an example of propaganda. 
 

the msnbc portion is fake, right? Or out of context because they did use that shot as an instance of life imitating art?

Since it says "Not Real" under "Live", I'm a gonna call it fake.

Bigger version:

I dunno about that. Been a Grand Juror a couple of times, talked with others who have been at other times. Far's I can see, Grand Jury does whatever the DA wants.

There was a bit about that in the Innocence Project series about how they stack the grand juries with former LEO'S and people friendly to the cause.

Good.  There needs to be a bloodbath of cop careers.  Both those who failed in the lead up to this mess, and those who have either utterly failed to lead in this crisis, or have actually doubled down and committed further wrongs during the crisis.

Hail hydra. 
it’s the entire CJ system. Lawyers seeking convictions at all costs including hiding and fabricating evidence, judges signing off on ridiculous warrants, the ME as above, cops planting drugs and guns and lying on the stand, etc. all one big circle jerk of mischief. 
 
adding the private prison system funding such shenanigans and taking money per inmate from us taxpayers. 

And the drug labs. Just watch How To Fix A Drug Scandal on Netflix. Thousands of drug tests came back positive and were all questionable.

[Captainant 28381]

Y'all need to turn on the news. Barr is on the White House lawn staring down protesters behind an army of cops, national guard members, and secret service agents. 

And the president is about to have a speech from the rose garden.

This shit is fucking wild. 

Early reports is talk of the Insurrection Act being invoked to deploy national guard. And Abbot just signed an EO to allow federal agents to operate with state authority and powers

Edited June 1, 2020 by Captainant

[Captainant 28381]

Military police just closed the gap and are face to face with the protesters outside the Whitehouse lawn who have their hands up chanting don't shoot. 

This is like something out of a movie before everyone starts shooting

This is insanity going on right now in DC

Good lord how many times do we have to remind the idiots who fall for all of the fake media propaganda that there are organizations out there that are planting fake stuff all the time: Russia, Republicans, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists, etc. At least wait until you see a shred of evidence from a credible source.

... Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Antifa, etc, etc.

Not that any of the examples you listed aren't valid. Just trying to keep a little balance here.

OK? I'm not saying the bricks were put there by anyone to use for riots. I dunno why they're there. But it's not at all common to see them just placed randomly on a downtown sidewalk where, they'd get the construction company fined, where anyone can take them, or where they're a hazard or obstruction to pedestrian traffic.

There were trucks of soldiers in BDU's with full battle rattle going into the Whitehouse lawn area about 10 minutes before the cops started attacking the protesters

The protesters did nothing to start violence. There were cameras all over it, and everyone was chanting with their hands up. And then the flashbangs and tear gas came out

We let protesters storm state capitals just 2 weeks ago. Heavily armed protesters.

[Captainant 28381]

They apparently cleared out the protesters to make a path for the president to go to the St John's Church for a photo op. 

That's where he's headed.

And he shot rubber bullets and teargas and rubber bullet claymore mines at the protesters who were objectively peaceful to clear a path.

Do we really know who’s peaceful in a large crowd?

[Captainant 28381]

Use of military force has been authorized for policing of US citizens. 

And was first used to set up a photo op at the burned St John's Church. 

Think about that.

Yes, imagine if one of the protestors was seriously injured.

The “outsider” narrative started with the two Pressers in Minnesota on Saturday. They said they would name names. Show pictures. Turns out of those arrested basically around 1% or less were from out of state. Same story going around in other states. 
if anyone watched any of the riot footage particularly Wednesday through the last few nights you can see with your own eyes what is happening. Who is doing what. And there are a lot of the younger crowd doing things after curfew. 
 

Comments on what is happening in DC: Hope everyone protesting there stays safe. But the police/military isn’t going to let them charge the WH. Or Congress. Not going to happen. You can debate about whether or not it’s fair or right or wrong. But it’s not happening.

Hi, y'all.  Tex Long's wife here (with his okay).  Thought you might want to see the actual statute.  Kinda scary.   It requires an insurrection.    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/251

Hey drama queen, the Insurrection Act has been invoked many times throughout our history, the last 2 times for the LA riots in 1992 and after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

Maybe learn a little before your propaganda freakouts:

Guess you'll still have to wait until January to retake the White House.  Sorry, bro.
