BLM Protests Across The World

[Teelie]

They take the exact opposite lesson from the past year and make everything worse.

 

[Sithborg]

This is the second incident of summary execution involving the US Marshalls. I am going to go ahead and just claim that the Marshalls want to execute their targets more than arrest them.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, that checks out.

 

[Sithborg]

The video is insane. Just thankful it was a taser and not a gun.

 

[Sithborg]

Oh, and there's a followup video to the one above of the cops jumping him and beating him up while he is on the ground.


Expect to see this a lot this summer, as it is endorsed by many states.

Reforming the police cannot happen soon enough.

Reforming the police cannot happen soon enough.

I wish it would but right now... This country is gonna put all this in the memory hole.

"Crime" is what's on too many minds, not questions about why these increases are happening and they are happening because cops are choosing not to do their jobs.

And people's lives are at stake.

I say this as someone that was attacked by a thug just last Saturday.

That didn't JUST happen. It came to be because the police are allowing it because they don't want accountability from me, the citizen.

I did the cops job for them. Attacker was completely subdued, on the ground, neutralized in a lock with me on top of him and a broken hand. All I needed was cops to cuff him and put him in custody... But they were no shows and that doesn't happen at one of the city's biggest hubs for the subway on a Sat. night underneath a tourist/shopping area/sports arena.

Not unless the cops allow it.

I held this guy for at least 12 min.

And I had to let him go.

So he's out there to attack someone else.

 

[Sithborg]

Cops don't prevent crime. They are crime janitors.

 

[Teelie]

The best way to prevent crime is to make it as unnecessary as possible. I won't try and quote statistics about it but I do know a good amount of crime is from people who feel they have no other option. Stealing and robbing people is usually something done because the criminals can't afford to live a better life and that goes way down the spiral of poverty and disenfranchisement, racism and abuse.

Obviously not true of every case but keeping people poor and destitute definitely does not encourage people to follow the rules and laws of society.

 

[Lily Adler]

Yeah, but like Saagar Enjetti said on Rising. Civil Rights was about passing the Civil Rights Act. It's not like there's a Police Reformation bill someone is trying to push in Congress or nothing. What's the endgame?!?

 

[Iceman]

22.5 years for Chauvin.

 

[B]

22.5 years for Chauvin.

This doesn't seem incredibly long.. but I heard someone say in the backround that22.5 years is actually 10 years longer than the State's guidelines, no clue if that's true though.

 

[Detective Conan]

What?

 

[Sithborg]

Its less than what the state was asking for, but still seems fair. Well above the minimum.

I was hoping for a hell of a lot longer but was told to expect less.

Do you think this news will be received ok then?

Fairly certain the prosecutors warned Floyd's family they weren't getting what they asked for. They rarely do. But, he still got a good decade over the minimum.

Thanks for that.

I meant also how it would be received amongst regular people waiting for the verdict. Do most know roughly what to expect? Much chance of significant protests?

 

[InCali]

I don't think there is going to be a huge outcry. He got a lot more jail time than the average sentence and he was also a first offender (not really though).

Thanks. Hopefully he’s too old to hurt anyone else by the time he gets out. Also I don’t imagine jail will be too fun for him being such a high profile cop and what he did being so well known.

[Sithborg]

I feel bad for the kid. He deserves legal counsel, not to be taken advantage of.

Hopefully, this is a good wake up call for him.

I agree he is entitled to legal counsel, but I don't feel the least bit bad for him.

Last I checked wasn't Wood getting called on the carpet for, well, being mentally unstable?
