could be confused: 99.96% .........that's the covid survival rate.
:)
And likely way higher than that since that's measuring only known positive cases. I happen to believe most all of us have been exposed repeatedly and probably a huge chunk of us have had it.
It looks like the lawyer for the cop who got shot and charged is now asking for the body cam that they said didn’t exist to be reviewed. Can’t make this up
posted by geeblockNo I didn’t say that. How many? It’s still a loooonnnggg way to go to catch up to right wing violence
Lol, you are joining SnL and ptown off the deep end of the left.
Support for the protests are dropping like a rock, even among African Americans.
Down from 81 to 63% among AAs and down from 53 to 34% among Caucasians.
Well 7% violent riots seems like alot

As it should be... including myself..it’s time to stop protests but that is not the same as saying I don’t or most people don’t support the movement. It’s not even black people protesting at this point. It’s people who hate the govt and criminals. It’s not hard to separate the good from the bad especially as objective as you are

So the cop that got shot may have been hit by one of the other cops in the Breyona Taylor case 🤦♀️
This has been debunked numerous times.
In police interviews and through his attorney, Walker has not disputed firing one round inside the apartment at what he said he thought were intruders.
Despite claims Mattingly was hit by friendly fire, the sergeant was struck by 9 mm round, which none of his colleagues' guns could have fired.

I don’t even think the protests have to stop just end them before nightfall where you are giving cover to bad actors. A more organized front would serve well for the movement but as it is their leaders are terrible. The demands and goals of the movement are terrible. For example they want to end the concept of the traditional family when it’s been shown having two parents in the household is a major factor in success to African Americans.

Right. People are lazy and just end up supporting things without doing anything other than cursory research. See: our entire political system. That's not really a good endorsement.

How far back do you want to go? The past month? This year? Last five years? Last 100 years?

Lots of people that don’t support it know it. That’s the problem. The concept of black lives matter is good, but the organization BLM is garbage. They need vocal leaders (who aren’t Jew haters), they need to condemn the idiot white people causing chaos on their behalf, and they need to not protest justified shootings.

It was conveniently withheld from the grand jury that the bullet wasn’t linked to her boyfriend. That is a big deal whether they claim it was too damaged or not. Records show hotkinson has 9mm service weapons which also wasn’t told to the jury. Nothing has been debunked lol of course the police claim they didn’t have a 9mm. Just like they said no one had a body cam and body cam footage was leaked last week. Also it want presented to the grand jury that her bf called 911 because he had no idea it was the police. This is all per the bf lawyer on Twitter

You don’t think that’s a problem? If you care passionately enough to go to the streets and protest shouldn’t you know what the goals/mission of the movement your protesting for are?
posted by geeblockIf the boyfriend admitted to firing his weapon, then why does it matter if the officer was injured by him or not? It's relevant to potential charges of the boyfriend, but it's not like being hit gives an officer MORE probable cause after a shot is fired.It was conveniently withheld from the grand jury that the bullet wasn’t linked to her boyfriend.

I think the grand jury should have that in

I don't see why it matters. He shot at police, they're authorized to return fire.

Big difference imo between firing a warning shot as anyone might do when they think there is a breakin and knowingly wounding a police officer.

How would anyone know where the shot was going? They’re supposed to release the grand jury tapes tomorrow btw

This is one of the dumbest posts I have read.
1. Exactly where does an apartment dweller aim for a warning shot?
2. There is no such thing as a “warning shot” that will be recognized by the court. If someone breaks into your residence, you better be sure who you are going to shoot. A warning shot at the police? C’mon, man.

There is no evidence he knew it was the police and had visual contact with them and he wasn’t even shot. I’m quite sure he could have fired many more shots if he was trying to kill someone? Firing one bullet is more consistent with warning shot.
Y ea I know they are coming out tomorrow I’m just reiterating things his lawyer is saying on Twitter. He called 911 according to his lawyer because he didn’t know it was the police because he couldn’t see them
They say there were no body cams and yet
From lawyer
posted by geeblockYeah, you should probably stop this line of argument. Again, there is no warning shot defense and exactly how does a guy in a fire fight call 911 in the midst of it?Firing one bullet is more consistent with warning shot.

A warning shot. LMFAO. I suppose Jacob Blake was just grabbing that knife so he could eat his dinner.
