Video or it didn’t happen. Cops have been known to plant things on people they’ve shot and killed.

If that were true there would be more outrage for the deaths of actual humans than for the destruction of property. That is not the case. People are making a much bigger stink about some burning junk than the reason that people are protesting. They are the same assholes who make more of a stink about NFL players not…

That really does not help at all. Like I said police are no longer as honest as they once were. There are numerous possibilities before ever accepting a police account. After all “body cam footage” again not available.

Problem is no one really knows what happened. Both sides tend to lie, cops more often then civilians. Until a cop can get arrested for lying on a official document and be tried for perjury. The circle of trust will just remain broken.

It’s not obvious that people should not loot. The question is how much looting is optimal. Said better here: http://gawker.com/actually-riots…

If the lone wolf attackers organized into jurisdictional forces, were tasked by the government to protect and serve the population within that jurisdiction, were paid salaries with our tax dollars, formed incredibly powerful unions, went back in time to establish decades of oppression-based tactics, then came back to…

We can have both! Obviously people shouldn’t be looting, but it seems like the police have paid zero attention to how to respond to protests without escalating the situation (despite an ample amount examples to learn from in the past few years). All that riot gear is warranted now, but it seems likely it didn’t have…

*picture not from Charlotte, but point still stands

Given that the only reason we are discussing police violence against black people is because people can readily document it on their phones, protest selfies are entirely appropriate. Also, it seems wise to have a documented timeline of your locations and activities during a protest, in case they drag you away.

“This is disgusting on the part of Baylor. We haven’t let Joe Paterno come to a game at Beaver Stadium since he was fired for his actions.”

Yep this is me. Why TF would I use a community sponge/rag? Gross. I just grab a paper towel and the dishsoap and wash it that way.

Doesn’t everybody do that already? What is the point of having a sponge in the kitchen if you’re not going to have dish soap there too?

Unless you are bringing your own sponge, I would suggest bringing your own stuff for that too. For some reason, people just go full retard when they are in the office kitchen. A prime example was when a guy stepped in something outside the building, then decided the best tool to get that crap off his shoe was the…

seven of those stabbed have already been treated and released from area hospitals. One remains hospitalized, though none of the injuries were deemed life-threatening.

It’s a good example of the tendency for those who most desire power to also be those least fit to actually wield it.

Police unions think they can talk to the public they way they talk to city hall during negotiations. Thanks to free market, any of these NFL teams can hire private security, which would probably be 75% off duty cops anyway.

It’s interesting to see the reaction of the public whom it seems to bother the most. I haven’t seen those people engage in dialogue to understand the reason for this protest (?). Instead of showing empathy for those who have been abused or feel like they may be treated unfairly due to their race, it’s an empty…

A spokesperson for Seattle Public Schools said it’s a first amendment issue, and the district fully supports the students’ right to freedom of speech.
