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

[ThunderHorse]

Ok, so the AG named the officer involved in the shooting. Per the article, his girlfriend who he's wanted for domestic abuse sexual assault against is the one who called the cops.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said Jacob Blake had knife in car but would not clarify if responding officers knew about it

Warrant for his arrest was issued on 7 JUL 20.

Edit: Find it weird it's in a different state

Not too weird. Kenosha sits right on the border of IL. The kid's town of Antioch just happens to be on the IL side of the border a few miles away. To me the fleeing charge is silly; it's a short and reasonable drive. He simply went home.

I'm sure they'll try to make an example out of him. I don't know how the law reads in WI but a murder one charge seems overreacting based on what little I've seen so far.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the young man turn himself into the police? If so then they had to have released him in order for him to drive him. thus it seems no charges. If I turned myself in and wasn't put in jail then I guess I would have felt it was okay to go home.

He fled the state

From what I've seen in various videos and coverage: immediately following the shootings, he approached a police line with several vehicles, hands raised. Them seem to have ignored him, and just driven past.

What I suspect: I think he tried to turn himself in, was ignored, then went home. Cops may not have realized he was the shooter (there were multiple armed folks in the videos), and were more concerned with providing care to the wounded, then he fell through the cracks.

Yeah, but not really.

Didn't know if this had been mentioned. Worth a read.

^I used to laugh at those who posted about Marxist ties and high ranking Democrats who abided by the "Rules for Radicals" book during the Obama administration. Not anymore.

Minneapolis last night -

I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how/why looting and rioting are productive forms of “protesting”.

Looks like more of those white supremacists from out of town that the mayor and governor told us about.

For those that are unaware, rioting took place last night in Minneapolis' downtown business and retail district. This was not a result of what took place in Kenosha. Nope, this was the result of a completely false rumor that a black man who a suspect in a homicide in a parking ramp earlier in the day was shot in the head by police. Completely false. The man ate his own gun, in public, as police closed in on him. The incident was caught on surveillance cams:

*WARNING: This video contains graphic images* This evening, a murder suspect committed suicide as police approached them at 8th & Nicollet. No officer weapons were fired. This is a tragedy for our community that is still hurting. Our condolences go to the families of the victims.

@Ooh-Rah , can you help add a NSFW/Graphic button for the Twitter above? I searched for instructions on how do this but am obviously challenged and can no longer find them - can't even find the help forum anymore.

ETA: Disregard. MPD appears to have deleted the Tweet. Nonetheless, I would like to know how to add the spoiler button.

I would like to know

In the circled image select spoiler, then add whatever title you'd like. Once you do that, you'll see the coding appear in your text box, just insert your link or whatever you'd like in between the brackets.

@Blizzard

So it looks like the following.

More info of the rioters that were shot/killed in Kenosha:

The 3 shot (2 killed) in #Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot have been identified. Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was the first one killed. Video allegedly shows him chasing teen shooter & throwing something at him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender for a sex crime involving a minor. https://t.co/up1VgDyrgZ

^Shithead #1 was at the gas station minutes before, calling the milita geared up people that were protecting infrastructure "ni@#a", and yelling "point your gun at me"... He won the grand prize that night.

Not sure if everyone caught that video.

When my oldest son was younger, probably about 14, he got a little big for his pants. In front of the rest of his siblings he called me out and wanted to get a little sporty. So I followed through and smacked him down pretty hard. After that he knew where I stood. Credibility is everything.
