I suppose the real question is - why does this crossing have arms to prevent vehicles from getting *off* the tracks?

Sure, but if there’s not enough time for the arms to go all the way up in the first place, your system is poorly designed.

So why did they go up? If there was not enough time for the first arm to come down, and allow traffic to clear the tracks (the truck filming was caught too), why did the arms go up after the first train had crossed?

Ding Ding Ding: winner!

Couple major steps to take - demilitarize police, tighten gun sales / registration laws, end drug war - should dramatically reduce the frequency with which cops needlessly kill people. As we start charging / convicting more cops for excessive force and wrongful death, we should see them start to take more care and err…

You’re a good submissive. Cops love you.

The “hit and run” did not involve another person... so they were responding to a property damage incident.

The paid vacation part is what pushes it over the edge from tragedy, to cartoonish villainy.

Also, his name his Mexican. Can we really be sure he was here legally?

One of the cops used a Taser - it’s a shame his partner went straight to his handgun. Two tasers makes for a much different story vs. one taser and multiple gunshots.

Reenactment of the event:

The Jeff Sessions doing some kind of elvish dance that the Justice Department won’t look into it

You forgot to add in where cops nationwide defend this while they get all sanctimonious about how they’re the thin blue line and no one can possibly understand the stress the job puts them through, so people need to cut them some slack when they gun down a deaf man with a metal cane.

Go up to man with stick. Claim you’re scared of stick. Kill man. Enjoy paid vacation. Claim murdered man was “no angel”. Collect extra overtime quelling the protests after you’re cleared of any wrong doing.

Fuck nazis. Fuck people who keep institutional racism alive. We’ve waited long enough, so we’re going to start fighting for it.
I.E. FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY vs FIGHTING TO KEEP OPPRESSION ALIVE

Fuck nazis. That’s why.

Probably because the Antifa are Antifacist and anti-racism? It’s seriously not that hard.
