So what comes of this one? Cops stop a black guy on a bike for vehicle code violations, and the guy takes off running. Cops catch up to him, fight ensues, one officer is punched. During the fight, the guy drops some clothes he had been carrying and a semiautomatic handgun falls out. Cops see the gun and end up shooting the guy dead. The gun was in fact recovered from the scene.
From what I can tell, the march they did was fine. Besides some of the usual ACAB spray painted in some places, nothing was burned down or demolished (as far as I know, I didn't go looking).
Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland, however, got a fireworks show last night haha!
Dem mayors fleeing their homes to escape peaceful protests.
Twilight zone.
Another "protest" in DC. An 18-year-old black man was shot and killed (Deon Kay), and BLM was saying he was unarmed and shot in the back.
Police release body cam footage, he was fleeing, cutoff by a cop who ordered him "Don't move," which then the cop saw the handgun, cop fired once striking Kay in the chest. Kay was transported to the hospital and died there.
Cops were called to "investigate a man with a gun" at 3:50pm on Wednesday. They saw two men in a vehicle. Both men ran.

If you protest everything, going to become boy who cried wolf. Michael Brown’s hands up don’t shoot is still a fairy tale.
Police shot and killed the Portland murder suspect when he pulled a gun on them. Ya hate to see it

Yeah, I just saw a small clip last night where he made a sort of confession and thought "what a stupid move from a legal perspective". Now I have to wonder if he wasn't signalling.
*Edit to add*
Just came across the clip again:

I seeing many Vice fans or supporters, I don't know - anyway, I'm seeing many of them going apeshit over their publishing of his "confession" on Twitter. Everything from saying the innocuous "I'm going to unfollow you!" to outright accusing Vice of being alt-right now.
Twitter is very amusing!

AMEN
Lol. How about all of the Black people who agree with Lebron? Are their stories and concerns and fears invalid because you don't agree with them?

If you posted about it 2 years ago when it happened then I owe you an apology.
But we both know you're completely full of shit, as usual.
More peaceful BLM protestors interrupting patrons’ dinners in Rochester last night. Very normal behavior.

Wait until the rioters wake up this evening to find out Trump is defunding critical race theory training from federal agencies.

Your retort would have merit if everytime a white guy gets shot by police you post the same outrage and defend the suspect as vehemently as you do whenever it is an African American suspect.

I have posted about the guy who got killed recently answering his door with a gun and blown away by cops without given a chance.. and several times about the guy in the hotel, and the kid who had headphones on and all of them were white.. those just don’t resonate with you guys apparently. it is a police problem it has nothing to do with race. My point of the post was that blue lives matter isn’t really a thing. It’s only brought up to counter blm but I’m reality people really don’t give a shit about cops.
