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

[Raptor]

You may have missed this stupid ad that they posted yesterday that literally is inciting riots.



So, yeah I find it funny in a very dark comedic sort of way. But Nike has jumped on many of these events and perpetuated the divide to sell shoes and show they are "woke".

I have no love for Nike (for reasons already mentioned in this thread), but to say that video is inciting riots is a bit hyperbole. I know people interpret things differently, shown perfectly by all the different reactions we had to one of Trump's tweets, but I don't even see how that could be construed as encouraging violence, whereas with the Trump tweet I could at least see why some people interpreted it different ways.

Nike can eat a bag of dicks, they pander to the BLM groups; just go re-watch the Kappernick commercials.

This is supposedly video from the market house in down town Fayetteville.

It is, whether that molly does anything and the building is standing in the morning I don't know.

I haven’t given an Opinion on this because I felt sympathetic to their cause and was conflicted on the Police and Feds using extreme force but after all we have seen especially this video. Fuck those guys I hope the Cops restore full order by any means necessary

Can we all agree that maybe trying to take on a crowd with a bow is a super fucking bad idea?

He's ok btw. Just doesn't mention he got jumped AFTER pointing his bow at people.

Fucking hate this shit, doubly so because I think everyone on this board probably understood it was only a matter of time til this happened.

There will be more deaths; of officers, bystanders, protesters, and rioters before this is finished.
It's a fucking shame. The only upside to videos of this is the potential to get the fuckers that did this.

Whatever is happening today has nothing to do with George Floyd.

Someone needs to teach Governor Walz's daughter about OPSEC....

 

[SaintKP]

I laugh because literally what purpose does her saying that serve? That's like telling the friends at your house party that its a false alarm the cops were going somewhere else. Rage on.

I can't find anything to verify this, but if it's true shits about to really hit the fan and fast.

Other tweets are saying he survived.

This is being organized. They waited for the opportunity and this was it to exploit.

Please prove me wrong.

I'm curious as to how you see this adding value? I'm asking in all sincerity.

I don't see it, so could you please elaborate for me?

Seems as if it could be a possibility. A few places are reporting on it. Honestly, if this shit gets any worse I could see it happening. Pentagon Orders Military Police To Prepare To Deploy To Minnesota

I see the value in pretty much any video from these riots, as that gives us a picture of what is actually happening. If there's value in sharing a clip of a man getting assaulted and (possibly) killed on video, there's value in a clip of a man threatening the crowd with a weapon, getting jumped for it, and then trying to paint himself as an innocent victim to reporters.

Now if you're talking about my commentary of the clips?
It adds no more or no less value than anyone else's.
