This guys seems cool as hell. He’s the one who got shot with a rubber bullet last night right?
Ahhh… Found the 1 I wanted
I hadn’t seen some of these, and I only went through the first 15-20. Is the shooting of the guy they had on the ground legit and from this week? If so it’s damn near as bad as the Greg Floyd murder.
I’ve been reading a series of detective novels set in North Ireland in the 80’s and it’s wild how we seem to be on course to have our own American version of the Troubles, just like we have our own version of The Office and Top Gear.

The cops still patrol in the ghetto and they don’t have to look for mercury tilt-switch bombs under their cars, but who knows where we go from here.
I have heard rumors of areas like that in some of the larger cities, but I have no idea if they are actually true. Most likely right wing racist propaganda.
Which brings up an interesting issue when comparing this unrest to unrest in other countries: the US is HUGE and I’m not sure if models and sociology, etc that were applied to other uprisings and movements across the world could be used in the US. We are so diverse with so many big cities and wide open spaces, the scope is just staggering to think about compared to the Troubles, for example.

Long Beach curfew is 8 p.m. despite 6 p.m. countywide curfew- they have the authority to set their own despite being in LA County.

That’s right wing propaganda. There are areas in the big cities where cops don’t go without partners, etc., but there aren’t any “no-go” zones.
