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

[ThunderHorse]

I read the article and no where does it state on what basis the search warrant was issued or why the guns were confiscated. That's a pretty important fact to omit.

The only way to know that is for someone to do a FOIA to get the warrant I'm sure.

Local press state that the search warrant was "just for the guns." Like why?

You'd think their attorney and ACLU would be crying foul...2A and 4A violations...unless something else is amiss.

If you want an honest answer, it's because #ALM is not philosophically grounded. It is, in essence, a reactionary movement only in response to BLM. This makes it seem not genuine. In other words, there is nothing grounding All Lives Matter if Black Lives Matter were to disappear tomorrow. If BLM is gone, ALM would disappear. Weird! (This isn't necessarily true, but is my intuition).

Notice here how this is very different from the capitalism vs socialism fight. Neither is necessarily reactionary. That is, both have solid philosophical grounds on which to stand. Both can be advocated for without necessarily invoking the other.

Imagine if there as an organization that is calling for the proper care of treatment for Army Rangers after a combat injury--Ranger Lives Matter. Then some Air Force guy takes offense to this and says well "All Military Matter"!!!!!!! Of course, Rangers aren't saying only Rangers matter, that would be dumb and a straw-man. We are just calling for the proper treatment of Rangers after combat injuries. That doesn't mean other people shouldn't start organizations to help drone operators with their PTSD. It would, however, be weird to adopt the slogan Drone Operator Lives Matter but only after Ranger Lives Matter exists. On my intuition this seemingly reactionary slogan makes it seem less genuine and in good faith.

I'm not here to play team red or blue. I don't care. I'm just trying to explain how #ALM as a slogan has bad optics for a civil servant without invoking "you can't care about all lives until you care about black lives". Hopefully, I have done that here.

Not sure if it helps, but I may have have a simpler explanation.

I've been looking at the BLM stuff from the optic of "Fobbit Lives Matter". In other words, if the Fobbits don't get "respect" they're gonna stop issuing gear and doing support stuff. Meanwhile the grunts and non-fobbits are going, "We All Matter, do your jobs Fobbits!".

As for organization... the Fobbits are being organized by some peeved off SJW Pentagon Officer, whose been freebasing estrogen, soy, and Carl Marx (courtesy of their rich uncle). Meanwhile the grunts and non-fobbits are still adhering to their respective chains of command, while pulling extra duty, to maintain mission op tempo.

It depends on what the offense is that the SW is supporting. Probably some kind of assault charge for pointing the guns at the demonstrators...if so, the guns seen on the images is the evidence the SW is looking for.

Yeah I get that. But the people they were "brandishing" towards were in fact on their property. Therefore, I can't wait for this DA to lose civil liability protections and sued into the ground. If you remember, Law Enforcement was investigating this as Criminal Trespass and the McCloskeys were the victims. It was the DA that said she would go after them.

 

[Kraut783]

Agreed...not sure who is pushing this, but if St. Louis Police executed the warrant then they are also pushing this. A DA's office can't force a PD to take action, but can either support or deny action a PD takes.

Are you even surprised? That whole fucking AO is a prom night dumpster baby abortion. Temple is pandering to the social justice dickheads that are anti-cop. I was down there the other day. It's a fucking war zone but it's crickets when a 10 year old catches a round to the dome piece.

The crime in the city has gone up, our resident cop/medic is fucking busy I'm sure. This entire thing is a fucking joke. Universities, celebrities and companies are pandering to useful idiots and BLM, it's a joke.

I'm glad I exfil'd that cesspool 20 years ago, not like where I'm at (15) miles north is any better but at least it's not there.

City cops not supported by city hall, a DA that panders to the scum of the city while outwardly condeming Philly PD.

Let that cesspool burn.

I've been out since 2000. I'm just north now. Our resident cop/medic and I trained together in Philly, I'm born/raised there. That's how he and I became tight.

Unfortunately, my wife's aunt lives in the city, actually, not far from Temple, in the Kensington section, a truthful shit hole full of scallywag scoundrels, junkies, drug dealers and lots of homicides.

We go down there at least twice a month, I try to not cross the city line that my county connects. My anxiety heightens and my anger gets bad when I do.

At this point, I'd rather be in Lancaster County, far away from those mutts.

God willing, sooner than later, my wife will accept my wishes to move to Idaho, Wyoming or Montana.

 

[Devildoc]

God knows we have our own shit sandwich in North Carolina but compared to some of these other places it's the land of milk and honey....

I absolutely understand the family connection, ironically the only family I have here are my in-laws, all transplants from Buffalo NY, and my wife doesn't want to leave them. I would head towards North Carolina coast in an absolute heartbeat if I could.

Sure it wasn't an unforgettable night in Seattle's bohemian district? No judgement, just love.

In other news, additional proof the BLM movement is a sham. Woman was murdered in public cause she didn't toe the BLM lie.

So I saw the hashtag and thought there would be a lot of anti-semitic shit on there from BLM types. I clicked the hashtag for Jewish Privilege and you had jews talking about their experiences with anti-semitic and racist abuses against them.

Lol. Sure. 0300 downtown and there have been several homicides in that area over the last week. That’s putting a hard right spin on a murder if I ever saw one.

At the local level that might seem inconsequential, just another day at the canal. Looking at things at the national level though, this is another instance of racially motivated violence. Between mobs beating small business owners to death, assaulting little old ladies, and everything else, one can safely assume the criminal class is using this Floyd BS as a justification/cover for their actions.

Right now it's open season on the rest of us.

 

[Kraut783]

I'm sure a social worker response would have kept the murder from happening....

On serious note....people that scream defund the police, need to start looking at large cities where violent crime is on the upturn. We will see violence go back to the late 80's early 90's days.

Listening to DeBlasio's plan to try and stem the surge of violent crime on this clip...wait I thought we didn't need cops and we were paying too much overtime? Specifically 1:20 to 1:37. The rest of it could be in the Gun Control thread.
