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

Opinion:

I’ve been generally understanding regarding the recent protests, the anger, trying to right history... now they’re losing me. Taking Lincoln’s statue down? Because you don’t like how the statue looks? This is just like “me too”- well intentioned, started for the right reasons... then the extremists come out. Give society an inch, they take a mile. America has become one big allegory for “If You Give a Moose a Muffin.”

I think I need to ETS and move to Alaska at this point.

So there was a protest in New Mexico over a Conquistador statue. A guy who "counter protesting" I guess, was assaulted and chased, based on the video he was hounded. The antifa shithead he shot tried to stab him. Seen the still images.

Here's the extended video.

These aren't protests, at all.

What's outrageous is sympathy for a guy who tried to tackle and then swing a skateboard at someone. If someone did that to a cop we would say it's fully within their right to defend themselves, but as a private citizen we aren't.
 
Rumors on Twitter are that either all Six Atlanta Precincts have walked off the job, some sources on twitter are saying there remain two staffed precincts.

Whoever runs the twitter for Atlanta PD is denying it.

The local news however state that the Mayor is calling other agencies for aid.

Reaching out to a friend, he says that local agencies stopped helping APD a week ago and that her calls will go unanswered.

Good article about Atlanta:

GBI Says Fulton DA Blindsided Agency Amid Investigation in Brooks Case - AllOnGeorgia

The Georgia SBI has not concluded its' investigation and is surprised that a) charges came so quickly, and b) they were not consulted before charges were brought. Also, interestingly, a taser is considered a "deadly weapon" in Georgia. I did not know that.

I am thinking the DA was either under enormous political pressure to bring charges quickly, or purposely overcharged/overreached knowing that the charges won't stick.

Edited to add, @ThunderHorse I posted before I saw all your posts. It is similar. I love that the mayor said "no prob, we'll just get help from our neighbors," and they all said "no." She's trying to cash in on the Floyd debacle, and it's going to blow up in her face, especially if the GBI says it's a good shoot.

Because a “not guilty” verdict always calms Pitchfork Nation.
Click to expand...

Years ago, 1992, I was a fairly new medic and was dispatched to a shooting; the High Sheriff of our county shot a teen 6 times with his service revolver (.357 magnum), all shots under 5 feet, two were barrel-on-clothes contact. The (black) kid trying to hold up a grocery store with a toy gun, he didn't know the sheriff was in the back picking up some meat. When we got there, there was nothing for us to do: that kid wasn't just dead, he was very dead.

Under duress from the black community, the liberal DA was 'this' close to charging him with all sorts of stuff but the SBI got wind and said "hold up, this is a clean shoot." It took the SBI threatening to 'take away' the investigation from the DA for cooler heads to prevail, in which the right outcome was achieved. Of course, when it the papers he was cleared, the DA looked like the wise, measured man (which he usually was). Pitchfork Nation still assailed it as a cover-up and BS and all.

SHERIFF CLEARED IN TOY-GUN SHOOTING

The Atlanta DA's actions may calm Pitchfork Nation for now, but what's going to happen if the GBI comes out with contradictory findings? Pitchfork Nation won't be satisfied with anything short of being found 'guilty'. I am afraid in his knee-jerk let's-convict-now-before-the-investigation-is-complete actions, he's just setting the stage for a worse outcome for the community.
 
I'm not buying the Union saying this wasn't organized. Atl is reaping what they sewed. The DA is a loon. On the one hand he says a taser is a deadly weapon yet on the other it isn't.

And he's also under state investigation for two separate things, both of which have to do with a nonprofit he is the CEO of. Howard not letting the GBI know of charges against the two officers probably stems from their investigation into him.

Duluth pushes to remove 'chief' from job titles, calling it offensive to indigenous people
DULUTH – City leaders are making a push to remove the word “chief” from job titles, calling the term offensive to indigenous people.

At a news conference Wednesday, Duluth Mayor Emily Larson implored City Council members to vote to approve the change next week “so that we have more inclusive leadership and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive, intentional marginalization.”


The measure, slated to go before the council Monday night, would change Chief Administrative Officer Noah Schuchman’s title to city administrator and Chief Financial Officer Wayne Parson’s title to finance director.

“I think that there are other titles that we have the opportunity to use to steer away from language that may put people down based off their race or culture,” said Alicia Kozlowski, Duluth’s community relations officer and member of the Grand Portage and Fond du Lac Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa.

I'd like to think the city leaders are actually racist for being so simple that they would automatically associate a word with a group of people that it has nothing to do with

It's not just America. The same bullshit is spreading to Canada, even Ireland isn't immune. An Irish detective was attacked and executed with his service weapon by BLM last night.

How is this related to BLM? Is there more to this than what's being reported?

Because the story I'm seeing mentions absolutely nothing other than the fact that the shooter was in his 40s

Murder of Irish detective was random act – police chief

The media and Gardai definitely won't advertise it. I got it from an inside source and it's still being investigated. BLM has been very active in Ireland and the UK recently. There's some backlash because the recent BLM protests are being investigated and criminal charges are pending.
