Another successful interaction! (I'm aware that this video has been shared here already. It came across my TL again, though.)

This incident happened a few years ago where the guy was on the ground trying to follow every confusing order from the cops and instead of just walking up and handcuffing him they shot him cause his pants were falling down and he tried to pull them up. 

Cleared of wrongdoing. The system needs to change

Ever do it when he wasn't drunk? 

Yeah he did it for money a couple times when not drunk still never bothered him.

Imagine rage quitting a site because it’s a far right cess pool full of MAGA cheerleaders (note: 2/3 of this site is NOT voting for Trump). Then imagine coming back to the same site 18 months later to constantly cry about the same thing, before ultimately rage quitting again for only 2 days and then coming back AGAIN to cry about the same thing. Finally imagine all the of this and consider the fact you’re a hypocritical piece of shit who used to do all the same shit you cried and rage quit over twice.

Now the Portland folk have killed a guy (Right wing, not in self defense like WI). Then, BLM supporters cheered and celebrated it bc he was “obviously” a Nazi. I’m sure SnL is just as outraged that someone was murdered for no reason. How long is this dumb shit going to be allowed to go on?

What a fucking loser.

I know, so crazy isn’t it? That someone can, gulp, change their mind/opinion on something! Especially when that something is police officers murdering people...

I know it gets you off to say “lol libtard!” like a fucking school girl and giggling about it with your anti-progressive friends on a message board, but maybe for one second stop and think that standing up and saying this is a problem in America is not being an “lol libtard” and just means you don’t want to keep watching videos of police officers killing people. 

Now insert your dumbass jokes about how brave I think I am or how “racism ended!” And then call me something stupid so you can make yourself feel better about how you owned a libtard on the internet.

Using the loser's own playbook against him.  Nice.

Silence is violence! Like 33 people are dead during the riots vs the 2 people killed by police, both being dumb while they got killed. But let’s burn down cities anyway. Seems reasonable.

If you truly gave a shit about life, you'd have been screaming about that kid that died in Dallas two years ago....and then George Floyd might still be alive.

I don't see you because you're not honest.  I don't hear you because you're not objective.  I recognize there are problems, but I know YOU have no solutions.

It’s funny to be called a racist by the if you disagree with the left you are a racist crowd. Kudos 


Sure.....Tell me another time why you aren't a bigot.....

I don’t know what to tell you. I guess when someone disagrees with you and you can’t win an argument just call them a racist.

And just so we have all the data, what is the ratio of white to black people in the USA?


About 5:1.  Ergo, behavior is the controlling factor.



Next...

So, a guy was murdered in Portland yesterday?  Unfortunately, I don't think this will be the last.  Very sad times for our country.

I'm really hoping you're wrong. But the rubber band is stretched about as tight as it can be right now and the general feeling is that it won't be long until it actually snaps.

Yeah.. i dunno. I know protests have their place... and it probably makes me a pussy, but you wouldn't catch me at one right now.

Well, I think that the small amounts of actual protesting happening there is actually pretty fine. But those account for the smallest amounts of activity.

The looting is terrible and I wouldn't purposely go there for any reason if nothing wasn't forcing me to. It doesn't make you a pussy. It makes you somebody with common sense.

Bonus data:   60,000 assaults on police officers annually.



Good luck.

Some things floating around Twitter today. Violence sucks. I wish there'd be changes. Not sure what the way forward is.

White guy gets stabbed at AutoZone by a black guy who "felt the need to find a white male to kill."

I also had a good conversation with someone online, as I don't know what that way forward is. But, I asked, "what is the first and/or easiest changes that need to be implemented?" To me, it's hard to figure out what to do FIRST that would make a major impact or show there's a positive way forward.
