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

Blizzard said:
Non-concur.

The suggestion he murdered or deliberately killed Floyd is narrative pushed by feckless politicians to forward their agenda and perpetuated by an unscrupulous media.

It also raises concerns about the safety of the other 3 former officers.

I'm telling you, it's worth the watch:

He was an arrogant prick, I speak only as a cop who has had to deal with guys like this...often kicking them off my calls because they cause more problems.

But the whole George Floyd thing, I'm over it and have moved on...

EDIT: do I think he intentionally killed the guy, nope....should have just done his job. Due to his actions, officers across the nation had to deal with the fall out of stupid people...sucks big time.

Again, non-concur on this point.

Sure, his actions were a catalyst. But, even if he was an asshole, I truly don't believe they were the driver behind Floyd's death. Moreover, as clearly laid out in the documentary, it was the political will of the governor, prosecutors, and other politicians, combined with the complicity of the press, that drove the national fallout. They could've prevented it but instead chose to stoke the fire (almost literally). They largely remain culpable but have yet to be held accountable...and probably never will.
 
I get it...my thoughts of him are only to the point of his mishandling the call.

What transpired afterwards is politics, Spin, media, social media hype...etc....and I don't care anymore and won't waste anytime on it.
 
Below is dash and body cam footage from a shooting in St. Paul, MN last week. The officer was hit in the leg, went to the hospital, was treated, and released. The criminal was hit in the head and went to the morgue. But, that's not the reason for this post.

The reason for this post is the absolute dipshit lady. She epitomizes everything that is wrong with society today. Anyone want to bet she has a BLM sign in her yard and buys into the defund movement? It's mind-boggling.

She's an idiot. But this is uncalled for. I'm all for things like protesting in front of an elected officials house. But this ain't it.

But, but....but....Coexist!

MTG is a clown, but SWATting is deadly. Dems/ pro-Hamasitinians are doxxing the homes of Democrats who support Israel. Shit's out of control.

I can wonder how many of these incidents are started by the Left vs. the Right.

Anyway, coexist!
 
The concept of coexistence is a fantasy. Take a walk through 10,000 years of human history and try and find one little fucking decade where nobody was slaughtering the shit out of somebody else. That dog don't hunt. It ain't in our DNA.

If only people would embrace the reality that we're always going to want to kill each other, then we wouldn't get so disappointed.

I love looking back at the ramblings of one George Denis Patrick Carlin when current events drift into content that he joked about well over a decade ago...

Look at what we kill:​

Mosquitoes and flies. ‘Cause they’re pests.​

Lions and tigers. ‘Cause it’s fun!​

Chickens and pigs. ‘Cause we’re hungry.​

Pheasants and quails. ‘Cause it’s fun...​

...and we’re hungry.​


And people - We kill people…​

...‘Cause they’re pests​

... And it’s fun!​

So, I grew up in an affluent community. There definitely was illicit drug usage and underage drinking. But...most of the hoodrat gang shit was something that happened in the poorer community the other side of the hills. Well...this is two towns over in the PHX area.

Rich Kids, Drugs, Guns, Murder.

Probably gonna buy another concealed carry firearm for when I go out that way.

Demented sicko teenagers can be found in any community. A poor kid will kill you for ten bucks. A rich kid will kill you for the thrill. You decide which motive is the more reliable.
 
Meanwhile in Seattle…

This has been going on for hours, Police refused to do anything other than divert traffic.

Protesters block northbound I-5, demand cease-fire in Israel-Hamas war

A group of demonstrators calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war is blocking northbound traffic on Interstate 5 in Seattle between Interstate 90 and Mercer Street, causing a 6-mile backup.

Traffic is being diverted onto eastbound I-90, the state Department of Transportation posted on the social media platform X.
