National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[Bypass]

In the mid-90s I was dispatched to the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill during some protest for something (they are always having one). One of the campus cops pepper sprayed one of the protesters. She adamantly refused assessment or treatment, calling us all sorts of vicious names, just being a petulant brat. While she was rubbing her eyes and snotting from the spray, she tripped and gashed her leg pretty good. Then she demanded we treat her and take her to the ED. My boss was there, THE boss, he said "you had your chance, you said no. You're on your own."

We call this the law of unintended consequences; or, they are reaping what they sow.

Nice! And agreed.

How do you of all people post about Seattle but not include this tidbit? It's perfect for what I think you'd have said would happen

Seattle Autonomous Zone Warlord Creates Private Police Force, Gets Dubbed ‘Black George Zimmerman’

@Jaknight 's earlier linked article already covered it. Figured it'd be redundant of me.

Ah, I must have missed seeing it then.

I’m making a half ass effort to avoid news stories for a while, but WTF is happening in Seattle?
Do “they” really have a blocked off perimeter designed to keep police out?

Trump says 'domestic terrorists have taken over Seattle' in the CHAZ

Yes they are. See this post from @Ranger Psych. A councilwoman breached their own security at City Hall and allowed protesters inside, Seattle City Hall has basically been occupied for two days.

SPD to hold press conference on East Precinct

They're already shaking down locals.

ETA: This is how shitty it's getting in England. Can we never lockdown our countries ever again?

The Statue of Baden-Powell is apparently on a hit list.
Scouts founder statue to be removed

ETA2: Mayor Jenny...that's literally her twitter handle. Is in a fight with the POTUS as blocks of her city get taken over by marxists. But she wants to do nothing about it and her Police department are surrendering these blocks because they have no political backup. And the governor of Washington is also a limp.

This guy's feed from last night is crazy. Portland Police gave a lot of warnings, and then they used rubber bullets.

I'm sorry but /Snicker. Guess who they called over when in need? The Police. LMAO!!

Be even better if they were all charged with statue-cular manslaughter. They thought they were all cool and trying to be all hip with the cause, then potentially killed someone. Games, prizes, that sort of thing...

I watched it earlier. It's very raw and it's definitely not a comedy special.

This thread is painfully merging with the political thread.

 

[RackMaster]

Last warning. Keep this thread on track. We have a whole thread of political bullshit.

Last warning. Keep this thread on track. We have a whole thread of political bullshit.

I’ve offered this warning once or twice in this thread as well. After conferring with @RackMaster , this thread is locked.
The political stuff will be moved to the “what’s wrong with...” thread....continue that stuff there.

This thread will remained dedicated to what is happening with the Floyd case or similar cases around the country.

Minneapolis City Council votes to replace the police department — Daily Mail

Good luck, Minneapolis. You are going to need it.

 

[Marine0311]

I do not agree with de-funding or disbanding a/the police. We need them now more than every to serve the communities. People commit crimes now with police all over a/the city and that will jump into lawlessness without them.

 

[Polar Bear]

Why to go guys, can’t even act like adults on a web page. Go to your safe space now, and when you can talk to me like a big boy you can come out of the corner.

 

[AWP]

You want to reduce LEO violence on civilians? More training and more independent oversight. You will gain neither via reduced funding.

Disband the police. I dare ya. It'll be a hoot.

But shoot the sheriff, not the deputy ;)
