National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[amlove21]

Bystander footage of the shooting of those LASD Deputies:

original video clipped

After this deputy got shot in her fucking face, she stayed in the fight, radioed for help, and put a tourniquet on her partner, saving both their lives.

This picture should infuriate you. And it should motivate you to train hard today, and stay vigilant.

Thank God the shooter didn't bother to verify their status or engage with more rounds, because this would be a very different story.

Luckily it seems both should pull through.

In a solid move, the LA County Sheriff's Office called on LeBron James to match their reward offer in finding the shooter.

To me, it's a brilliant move because it puts James in a position to take a stand. I believe it will expose him for the fraud and coward I believe him to be. I bet he ignores or otherwise doesn't respond to the request. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

That is absolutely brilliant! Force those people to make a choice, and put them on the record.

Y'all would still have that same opinion if it was the Police Cheif in Chicago asking for donations from the Republican talking heads/celebrities who constantly mention the violence there, right? It's not that this move aligns with your political leanings?

I mean, what's good for the goose should he good for the gander.

ETA: I don't think the chief asking for support/conversations is a bad thing, but it's evidently a political swipe at Lebron when in the same speech he blames the violence and police distrust on athletes/actors/whatever, as if people literally don't have repeated citizen videos of cops doing questionable things. Case in point

I have no problem with that. If you are going to go in, go all in.

ETA: my issue with James does go deeper in that he wants to call out oppression but is clearly comfortable making money off of oppression (vis-a-vis Nike and China). But in this instance, yes, if a CLEO or mayor wants to call out someone who is being vocal I am OK with that.

Lebron advocated for the useful idiots causing this unrest, casually shills for the Chicoms, and has a 23 million dollar LA home. This ain't exactly a case of what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Dude made his own bed.

Plus, most Republicans fled or are fleeing areas like Chicago because of their overbearing and corrupt leftist govt's. If anything, Chicago serves as an example of what not to do. Why should conservatives shovel money at a political system that disenfranchises them and strips citizens of their rights?

This is significantly more local politics and not National politics. Since moving to Los Angeles, LeBron has not been an upstanding member of the community. He has been ardently anti-law enforcement and he faked the tagging of his own house. LeBron James Alleges Racist Graffiti, Still Zero Evidence In Addition he told Daryl Morey to stick to basketball because he had an opinion on Hong Kong, because China is a huge market for the NBA. Even though the Chinese are putting millions of people in Concentration Camps.

So I'm completely good with the Sheriff, an elected official, therefore a politician calling out LeBron and also seeking support from him. Because if LeBron actually did care...it would be a good statement.

This exactly.

I'll go one further in re: James. I have no issues saying that I despise him. He's a clown. I don't understand the fascination and idolizing of him....but, whatever, that's a separate issue.

Reading through the newer reports and evidence, this clearly shows the lack of spine on the Louisville city council.

I think you might have missed the point I was getting at.

If public personalities keep making statements in regards to how much they care about these issues (Lebron or others on police brutality and BLM/Inner-city violence example I made, because that's a common conservative whataboutism), is it right for public officials ask them to put their money where their mouths are? Is it something you'd be more or less likely to support based on the politics of those involved?

As an aside, I have the same issues with Lebron that most other members of this board do in regards to China/other things, so understand this isn't a defense of him, just a discussion of this sort of call out.

@ThunderHorse I wasn't tracking that tagging story, so thanks for that. It is a local political situation, but I think the publicity of the parties involved is going to make it become a n as national occurence.

CPD Chief asking for reward money from a Republican is fine by me.
I am willing to bet Hannity, et al, would donate.

How much would you be willing to bet?

JFC. We just had a drive by at the Federal Courthouse in Phoenix, one officer down, supposedly in stable condition.

Suspect sought after shooting outside of Phoenix courthouse

Update: Suspect in custody

Person suspected of shooting federal officer outside courthouse in custody

 

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

How much would you be willing to bet?

I'd put $50 on that, for sure.

And I'm saying as a reward for information on the whereabouts/info leading to the arrest of police attacker in a major city. If called out by a Left Wingnut mayor, I bet some major conservative like Hanity or equally popular rich conservative would back that.

I think that depends on how outspoken the person is and their level of involvement in that community. That said, I'm not a fan of public officials using their position to get money from people. However... Lebron and many other celebrities helped create this Marxist monster, so I have no sympathy for them.

If anything, I think the useful idiots that pushed the lie's of the BLM should be charged with sedition. Same with all the useful idiots, bureaucrats, and celebrities that pushed the peaceful protest narrative. The republic is facing a growing Marxist insurrection, thanks in part to those retards and their sphere of influence.

How many people is this? On what grounds? It’s probably hyperbole, because 80% of what you say is hyperbolic, but I’m pumped to hear how you’re going to prosecute thousands of Americans on the basis of, “Their words made me upset.”

Also, you have access to dictionary. And a thesaurus. You can find a more eloquent way to demean entire groups of people without resorting to calling them ‘retards’.

Be better.

We can't combat marxists by becoming fascists, brother. We need to draw a bold line between the people who are truly breaking the law and trying to drag our country down through violence, and those who we are just saying things we don't like.

This seems excessive, even to me. I wonder if it will stand up to a legal challenge:

To be fair... calling these people cankerous vaginal pustules that foam degeneracy when popped is overly verbose. I have enough issues with grammar and run on sentences, adding floral sounding insults would be beyond the point.

Also, this ain't about words that "make people upset". I'm talking about sedition. The republic is literally seeing the beginnings of a Marxist insurrection and we're quibbling over my "hyperbole".

Dude... what's happening all over the country ain't magic. Communities being wiped out with fire, citizens being murdered, and our security apparatus being dismantlement isn't a coincidence. These people are actively rousing support for an overthrow of the nation and values that bind us together. Like it or not these people are enemies and they're churning out a hell of a psyop campaign.

I totally get that bro and by no means am I advocating for fascism. Though there needs to be consequences for the Marxists who are actively spreading sedition and empowering terrorists on our nations soil. I'm all for free speech, but what these people are doing is much more sinister than that.
