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

Officer in the 3rd vehicle will likely get fired....but the payback, as little as it might have been, had to feel good.


Man, its almost as if indiscriminate douchbag shit like that is the reason the precinct is currently on fire?

ETA: I'm in no way supporting what's happening with the sacking of Minneapolis right now; but I can fully understand how people can see the police as an enemy force.

So the name Jacob Pederson is trending Twitter. I initially dismissed it, but....ex wife dimed him out. He’s St. Paul PD.
From St. Paul Police Department Twitter:

RUMOR CONTROL ... We are aware of the social media post that erroneously identifies one of our officers as the person caught on video breaking windows in Minneapolis. We've seen it. We've looked into it. And it's false.
 
Guard is supposedly meeting with Fire Department now. We'll see what happens next...are they going out to tonight?


Mayor Frey needs to go immediately. He has no clue. Quite possibly Walz as well. They're completely absent and appear to have abandoned.the city. Who's calling the shots?!

Live video feed....

Media helos have RTB'd for the night due to danger of flying overhead. They have lazers pointed at them, gunshots, etc.

Lots of gunshots being reported near 3rd Precinct. Could be gangs, hoodlums, or people protecting their business. Crazy bullshit.

They would have been better just to not even address it. All this reads as is

"We were accused of using undercover officers to initiate riots in which an aggressive response would be warranted. We investigated ourselves and found ourselves innocent of said accusations."
 
Oh, cool. So let me get this right.

Twitter- which the president just issued an executive order against- is the mode of communication where the president is threatening to allow the “shooting to start”.

Weird- I thought the national guard was a state entity.

Paging @R.Caerbannog to help me understand this one.

Question- are you willing to go “start shooting” to stop the looting here? Cause the boss just said that’s an option.

Also- I haven’t seen much mention here, on a. Military board. The CINC just said the military is there to start shooting at a civilian protest.

Thoughts?

I want to laugh to at this post but can only must a slight smile.

BTW, we reportedly have *34* guardsmen on hand ready to help the Fire Dept.

I'm tempted to go out and grab some video but that's probably not a super awesome idea.

I think the problem is that this has gone well past protests. Looting, deaths, and destroying government buildings aren't what I consider part of a protest. The Guard going Kent State on them though...yikes. I think calling these "protests" is wrong.

The president and Twitter...He's not helping the situation and once again has a great opportunity to put down his phone and go silent for a bit...but he won't.

Just to be clear- we are talking about the justification of American military, in some form and fashion, killing Americans.

My question stands, all the members who are active duty.

OUR president just directly said this- ‘the military is behind you. When the looting starts- the shooting starts.’

So- who is with the president?

Is the oath to the President or the Constitution?

The amount of stupidity flying around is staggering. Speaking of which, the dipshit mayor of Minneapolis is supposed to speak shortly. They're probably just waiting for him to stop crying..

Sorry man. Doesn’t answer my question.

Again- the president said, ”When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

Your answer is? About shooting Americans?

I posted my response earlier when I posted his Tweet: It's WTF. It's ridiculous. That said, they went to New Orleans.

How about you?

Listening to the mayor right now. He is clueless. He doesn't have a plan; in way over his head.
