I mean, do you actually want to know? Because you brought it up, unprompted, for no reason at all...
but it’d make your tongue purple and make your shit glow would you eat it after that first time?
The police were absolutely out of control this weekend. Running people over. Breaking into people’s cars, tasing them. Threatening people standing on their own porch. Slamming people into the concrete. Firing indiscriminately into crowds. Trump looked at that and thought “Not brutal enough.” The police…
The way that he said it, it’s not clear what in the fuck he’s talking about. I agree the entire quote should be included, but there is not really any reasonable interpretation that makes him come off good there.
Anyway we can keep Biden from speaking off the cuff, entirely, between now and November?
A complete and utter failure of a president, a leader, and a human being. He can’t be bothered to even consistently offer encouraging words to a nation gripped by fear of a pandemic that has cost at least 100,000 lives, instead choosing to sow division, air grievances, and pick fucking fights with Twitter. He can’t be…
Based on the events of the last 24 hours, as well as the past century or so, seems to me like the cops are the terrorists.
Yeah man. Just don’t show up wielding a bow and arrow or a machete threatening protesters with it.
I don’t love wanton destruction, either. I don’t necessarily want to see places burned and broken into and shit stolen. But the same voices calling now for peaceful protests, the same ones who most need to hear the message, are on record as having rejected peaceful protests out of hand:
A lot of police, across the country, woke up yesterday and thought “Give me a reason.” For so many, their attitude wasn’t to protect life or property or maintain decorum, but to confront and put down protesters challenging their authority. That, along with the obvious racial component, is why these protests are…
You did bring them up together. Anyway, yes, damaging things is breaking the law. So the fuck what?
So it’s cool to burn down a PoC’s place of business because there’s institutional racism on the police force and within all levels of government?
Why speak about them both as if they are the same thing? They are not.
But even conscientious, helpful people have limits.
Maybe so maybe not. Sometimes intent is tricky. That is a lawyer’s job. Beyond all the other evidence of intent, the officer kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for two minutes after Floyd had been unresponsive and a pulse couldn’t be found on him. I think plenty of talented lawyers could make an argument for intent that…
Based on what do you think that? Explain how, despite the evidence being the same now as it was Tuesday before things turned violent, an arrest was made now, when it wasn’t on Tuesday?
You need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, not inarguably. In any event, I mean, the cop has his knee on his neck for 9 minutes, as Floyd says he can’t breathe. According to the charging document, the cop keeps his knee on Floyd’s neck for two minutes after another officer couldn’t find a pulse. There is…
Here’s what I know: We have the exact same amount of information about what happened now as we did Tuesday evening. That shit is all on tape. The only thing that changed was a Target and a police precinct and a whole bunch of other shit got burned. I won’t praise or condemn the rioting, but it’s a fair question to…
A couple things: First, you could definitely say he intentionally killed him. This cop choked Floyd for 9 minutes while Floyd explained, repeatedly, that he was having trouble breathing, until Floyd went limp. You’re giving quite a bit of the benefit of the doubt to the cop to say there is no way you could glean…
