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

[Locksteady]

This was soon after the death of George Floyd when our executives rushed to voice support for BLM and before the EO. Oddly, our DEI folks purged ALL refs to CRT, DeAngelo's and Kendi's writings almost as if they feared legal repercussion or something.

That is very odd, especially considering that there was next to no warning distributed even days before OMB pushed it out.

There is a massive culture war going on inside the USG but the liberal ideologues are winning. A writer can post something unoffensive but it can be taken offensively just to file a complaint, which will trigger removal. Liberals are very much aware and use this to their advantage. The only thing that bothers me is that our social media reads just like Strozk/Page texts but without the overt conservative refs. The latest "innovation" is our version of a social credit score. Shockingly mine is zero because I purged all my stuff.

Now this is interesting. Is it optional, or do all employees have to have a social media presence on that platform? I could so easily see this being abused, a la Black Mirror.

I wrote up some really detailed AARs with maps, ambush points, intel reports, etc that set the stage of various events so employees could actually see what our military folks go through. Initially they were very well received until I came out anti-BLM, anti-antiracist, and anti-COVID panic.

The order you did that in was smart, if at least to give them a moment's pause before trying something stupid.

Imagine if there was a very well funded group community-centric group that could fill the power vacuum after a local gang was dismantled. Which group benefited from the mass social unrest? Wasn't the people who lived in those burned out areas in Kenosha or St. Paul, MN.

I'm open to hearing more about your thoughts on this, assuming it doesn't veer us too far from the topic.

This country has a pretty shitty history of killing black people when they try to do community projects

In 1969, charismatic Black Panthers leader Fred Hampton was killed in a hail of gunfire. 50 years later, the fight against police brutality continues

Or banning weapons when black people start carrying arms.

The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons

You are insinuating that the reason BLM does not provide aid to poor minority communities is because they are afraid of being assassinated?

What does the NRA or factions thereof supporting a gun control bill in CA during the 1970s have to do with BLM today, or any of the other "rights" movements that scream injustice yet provide nothing at all in the way of actual progress?

Update on the McCloskey Case: Ain't that some shit!

St. Louis judge disqualifies Gardner, her office from prosecuting gun-waving case

A judge on Thursday cited improper fundraising emails by Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner's campaign in disqualifying Gardner and her office from a gun case against Mark McCloskey, who with his wife pointed firearms at protesters outside their Central West End home in June.

Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II's order said two fundraising emails that Gardner's reelection campaign sent in response to political attacks before and after she charged Mark and Patricia McCloskey with felony gun crimes in July raised the appearance that she "initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes."

"Like a needle pulling thread, she links the defendant and his conduct to her critics," Clark wrote. "These emails are tailored to use the June 28 incident to solicit money by positioning her against defendant and her more vocal critics."

The judge's order deals a political blow to Gardner, whose office has waged numerous legal challenges to defend her practices and reform-minded agenda during her first term.

I didn't know this, what disgusting creature. These charges should not have been brought at all.

Yeah, heard about this when she did it. I wish there were some way to actually show folks like this what it is they are doing simply won't fly before they do it.

Oh wait, that's called law school. Nevermind.

San Francisco district to rename school named after Abraham Lincoln

A San Francisco district is planning to rename a school named after Abraham Lincoln because the former president did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him'.

The president, who is often held up as an American hero for abolishing slavery, is just one of 44 historical figures soon to have their names scratched off schools within the San Francisco Unified School District.

This makes no sense. He suspended the Constitution, I thought that would make him bulletproof with Democrats.

Ooh, bad choice of words.

So folks, Portlandia. Tom Cotton was correct and so was the POTUS. That place is a hellhole. The people are getting exactly what they deserve though. They are the ones who voted for these politicians. They love drugs. Clearly love people in all black squatting and intimidating their neighbors.

New Autonomous Zone, by the way. The Police raided this house, and as stated in the article the snake of a DA dropped all charges and released the terrorists back into the wild.

I thought they wanted Wild West where there wasn't even a town Marshall? Thousands of shipped on protestors and looters destroyed the city, and now the people are reaping what was sewn by outsiders and politicians that dare not serve their electorate. Clearly all of them lack balls and lady balls.

Generally, I don't think this has anything to do with race. But the Oregon Legislature was entering a special session this week. Many Oregonians were not pleased that the legislature would be closed to them and they protested. They were barred entry due to COVID-19 protocols. But a couple thousand people weren't taking shit and they got in. Many news outlets are calling them "right wing". Most of these people's politics wouldn't match up with conservatives from the South btw. A better description would probably be "Rural Oregonians" flood State Capital to protest COVID-19 restricts.

From the first article:

"Most of the violence has happened since Floyd’s killing on Memorial Day, and some experts attribute it in part to the lingering anger over the slaying and the effects of the coronavirus..."

Such bullshit. The thugs are not killing each other over George Floyd or COVID or job loss...They’re killing each other for the same stupid reasons they’ve been killing each other for decades. Somebody owes somebody money and won’t pay up; somebody’s got dope and cash; somebody shows up wearing blue at a party where everybody’s wearing red; somebody wants another dude’s wheel rims; somebody’s tapping some other dude’s bitch; somebody wants to pull a lick and get street cred at the same time so caps somebody; somebody from A street trespasses on B street; somebody disrespected somebody else and on and on...and nobody wants to admit the truth that black lives don’t matter to black thugs in the hood where street law is the only law that matters and gangs rule through intimidation and murder and the good decent people are scared shitless to talk to the cops for fear of retaliation.

That was my point: the entire DC metro area was in fear and the media profited off that fear. Remember the shock when they were arrested in that truck parking area on I-70 in a large blue sedan while news helicopters followed white box trucks around the beltway?

Separately, at least nobody is advocating defunding police now.

Burning cities down that cause actual lose to buildings good. Bombing cities that cause no structural damage and give warning to evacuate bad. Glad to know where the line is drawn.

Jesus, the reasoning for why they determined they couldn't prosecute is going to cause riots alone.

In this case, the Justice Department said poor-quality surveillance video recorded in the area where the shooting took place prevented prosecutors from being able to conclusively determine whether Rice was or was not reaching for his toy gun just prior to being shot. The two officers who were investigated told authorities soon after the shooting that Rice was reaching for his toy weapon prior to being shot and was given multiple commands to show his hands.

The bolded is fucking bullshit, plain and simple. Those cops rolled up and shot that kid like they were the LSPD from GTA V and the kid had a 5 star wanted level.

As a local cop...I hate seeing this kind of bullshit that happened above.

Spike Lee is releasing a movie called American Skin...watch the trailer...I get what he is doing...but do you think it's going to encourage some shootings on cops? Probably.....

What's the purpose of publishing movies that basically just race bait?

Well… Standby to standby.

Officer involved shooting in Minneapolis, sounds like it was during a traffic stop and the officer may have shot/killed the driver.

Officers are attempting to cordon off the scene but “people” are beginning to flood the area.

Sounds like it is very close to where George Floyd was killed.
