I know y’all hate Whitlock here, but his points on social media are valid imo. The same applies to this forum.
 

People who wouldn’t typically be radicalized or driven to irrational thought are prodded by online mobs. A net negative that I’m not sure you can mitigate much. 

 

 

We are aware. Russians radicalized all the white olds using social media and they elected an imbecile. 

And I actually agree with him and you. Social media is a net negative for society for a variety of reasons. One is that it allows grandma to be radicalized by right wing clerics.  Second, it has replaced the catch up phone call and in-person get togethers that allowed old friends and distant family to actually keep knowing one another.

Funny to see this. Saw a small group of people protesting at the Kerr county courthouse earlier this evening and was ecstatic. Most looked like Schreiner U students and you could tell they had been ou

And reddit starts my day with this:  "LAPD shoots “less than lethal” rounds directly at an unarmed homeless man who was not protesting."

 

Spoiler-ing the pic.

Jesus Christ.  If I'd seen that happen, I would 100% be dead.  

That goes for a lot of the "just beating them with batons, no big deal" and "just tear gassing them, no big deal" videos as well.  

This is getting more disturbing by the day.  I've always stayed away from the "all cops are bad" and "all cops are good" crowds.  Neither can possibly be right.  But if there's a newsletter from a "most cops are bad now, even if they got into policing for the right reasons" group, I'd read it...

If they can add in a crossroad of Obama Way & Bunker B. Blvd....then he may actually have a seizure.

This motherfucker needs to be hung until dead, dead, dead. 

 

hey, cop supporters, here's the deal. watch this video. the old guy gets pushed over. one cop actually appears to have a heart and starts to kneel down to check on the guy, before another cop grabs his shoulder and pushes him away from checking on the old guy bleeding from a head wound on the pavement. this is why people are saying and spraying things like "all cops are bastards." a shred of humanity appears, and must be redirected immediately, never mind the old guy bleeding from his head unconscious, maybe even dead, on the concrete.

Big deal, he flipped some people off.  That's considered affectionate in Chicago.  Worry about what they do after they get out of the van and starting whaling on people.

He said "sticker" and not "stickers." The nice law enforcement officer was probably referring to the Klobuchar one because he was upset over her past record of excessive zeal in prosecuting minorities in Minnesota. I know he shouldn't be enforcing his own political views on a member of the public but we can at least be reasonably certain his heart was in the right place.

You're absolutely right and we accept your apology for your irrational posting prodded by online fear propaganda you get from bullshit peddling sites.

That’s impressive. But if she doesn’t follow it up with real work then it will just be a big virtue signal. DC has had black mayors since before I was born, and it’s still a top 20 crime city in the country.

Cmon mayor. Be the badass you want to be. Don’t stop at painting streets and hanging signs.

The wrong door no-knock raid home invasion deal once happened to my aunt and her family...A house in an upper middle class Houston 'hood. They kicked in the door at 5 AM and scared the bejesus out of everybody...Smiles and laughter all around when everybody realized they meant to go to 5641 Terwilliger, where a drug dealer was operating out of his parents' house, not 5642, where a lawyer and a Transco / Williams accountant lived with three kids under ten.

All just a big misunderstanding, just like an episode of Three's Company.

The Keebler Klansman’s jimmies are rustled.

 

He's rustled because Liz called him out accurately on something he actually did to HAMSTRING the DOJ's ability to control rogue PDs.

You can read all about what he did here:

https://www.themarshallproject.org/2018/11/19/here-s-why-jeff-sessions-parting-shot-is-worse-than-you-thought

I read it literally the day it came out, as it affects my practice.  And every attorney who read it and discussed it that day was agog at how shameless it was.  Within 24 hours, we were referring to it with names like the "let cops get away with beating black people" memo.  

What happened in MN, and its direct connection to the GOP and this administration?  It's no coincidence, it's not a bug.  It's a feature.  The cruelty is the point.

So, what's the body count?  How many protesters have died?  How many looters?  How many cops?

Yeah, I’d really love to see a map with instances of police brutality compared to instances of looting/protester violence.

is this some kind of threat?

oh of course it is

I took it as he’s threatening to bring in the regular army if the guard doesn’t have a place to stay.  Of course he completely ignores the constitution and the 3rd amendment.
