I guess but I didn’t here him utter one word of watering down.
It was more “W is what can be done w/ a flip of a switch, X is what is what you do through union contracts (which he advocates tearing apart at every renegotiation), Y is what you have to win elections against hostile incumbents to do, Z is what you have to win court cases to do (qualified immunity), etc.
I’m fighting for all of that but what there is no excuse for is “allies” in power to not flip that switch for us TODAY. If they can’t even be bothered to flip that switch then they are an enemy, not an ally.”
I can see the perspective that making a big deal of the bare minimum provides cover to not do more but dunno, doesn’t seem like a bad strategy to try to book the easy wins first and build on them.
As you mentioned, this has never been a secret. But, OTOH he’s a future HOFer, and he has a “ring”… so being a POS doesn’t matter. That’s how sportsball works.
Complete drivel. The Soviet Union conducted campaigns of ethnic cleansing, just to give one example of literally hundreds I could give of vicious racism perpetrated by anti-capitalist movements and societies. These totalizing narratives, in which all forms of oppression are interrelated merely on the grounds that they are forms of oppression, are always nonsense.
There’s a thread on it. You’re correct. Although “disband” is a better slogan than “abolish” because at least it prompts the question “and replace it with what?”.
there’s literally 100% chance that the right-wing narrative will change to COVID is really dangerous and Trump has all but stopped it with his bare hands until the protesters cause a 2nd wave.
Several jurisdictions have either given up their own police (generally by contracting with the Sheriff), or have fired everyone and hired all brand new.
I really think that the COVID shift in regards to the protesters will be a mainstream establishment narrative. I don’t think what you wrote will be a prominent thing theory on Fox, but i’ve been known to underestimate them.
Yeah, if this holds up, I agree it changes things. I can’t speak to the legal side at all, but it seems “reasonable” that they might not have known they were witnessing a blood choke. Although, don’t they learn that kind of thing at Police Academy? I would think that “How to choke out perps in cuffs - 101” would be taken 1st semester.
