Anyone have a good stream from DC? That Zack & Matt guy appears to be offline tonight.
I have something but youtube has a message that it may be paid for by Russian govt so not sure I should post it. Look like they have a bunch of people surrounded and the helicopter is just hovering directly overhead.
Someone sent me this thing about a produce store being looted in Skokie, drive by and took pictures of a fully open store with people shopping and going about their way. Then the same person said that a Best Buy was looted for $4 million worth of stuff (I’ve worked at Best Buy and I highly doubt there’s that much product in stores nowadays. It’s wild the shit that is being spread
I see absolutely no path to this leading to meaningful change. I hope I’m wrong. But it seems likely that the aftermath of this is even fewer decent people wanting anything to do with being cops, and the remaining chuds feeling emboldened by the crackdown. White people with money will quickly lose interest and things will go right back to “normal.”

Yay copaganda!
My mother was posting a bunch of these staged photos on Facebook of NYPD officers kneeling with (more like near) protestors and other bullshit like that to build up the whole #NotAllCops thing.

Nope. TV evidence doesn’t matter. Like 40% of the population won’t see it because they only watch Fox News or they will see it spun some obviously bullshit way and believe it is all Barak Obama’s fault.
Unless he quit and is doing this then this is just a photo op
I mean, this is kind of a jaded outlook on life.

Isn’t that appropriate at this point?

I’m sure I can find Minnesota cops with protestors the last time they killed someone and yet they’ve used this choke maneuver on 44 people over the last five years. These photo ops are bullshit because almost after every one we’ve seen this last week the cops go back to being cops and doing cop things. So yeah appropriate
I guess if the president can’t spell Posse Comitatus Act, he doesn’t have to follow it.
Why is anyone assuming there is going to be any semblance of a fair election? Trump is not leaving office.

Protesters are all walking again. Seems like the crowd is getting progressively smaller over time. The helicopter keeps coming and going. I guess it’s just following them around.
Edit: Teargassing them now.

So my wife just went off on the protests because of how many lives are being ruined with the property destruction and vandalism. I couldn’t hold my tongue and said that we care more about physical property then actual human lives. She countered with violence not being the answer to violence. I told her we’d still own slaves if it wasn’t for the Civil War.
She hasn’t spoken to me in an hour.

The whole not all cops thing is complete bullshit.
They are complicit in perpetuating a system that allows police to act without accountability in heinous ways. You don’t get forgiven because you have a hand on a protestor’s shoulder instead of their throat.

Lol I thought the cop was escorting him in to talk to the governor. That’d be powerful.
She’ll get over it. Either that or you’ll have to get a new wife.
Good luck either way.
