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

Apparently saying EVERYONE's LIFE MATTERS is a fireable offense on a college campus.

EXCLUSIVE: Dean fired after saying 'EVERYONE'S LIFE MATTERS' in email

I am adjunct faculty with our school of nursing. We are required to have "what pronoun we prefer" in our email signatures; in fact, we are encouraged to participate in BLM and BGLAD club activities. I am, in fact, leaving the position. They are not interested in "open dialogue".

Yeah that’s definitely an over-reaction. She even said, very explicitly, “Black lives matter” right before saying the thing that got her fired. Not a good move from the school.

Crime stats for the former nation of CHOP (pop ~700, ~25% black)

2 murders/23 days --> homicide rate of 4,534/100k per year (914 times higher than the US)

security killed 1 unarmed black 16-year-old --> CHOP security killed unarmed blacks at 421,000 times the rate of US police

Gun laws are racist and most white people are afraid of armed black people.

That's a pretty sweeping generalization.

I'm struggling with the choice of utilizing this post. White Americans aren't confederates.

The same "White" protest that got demonized in Michigan was followed by a minority armed protest on the Michigan capitol. It wasn't a "white" protest because as there were minorities protesting, but journalists only focused on the white guys. But then, the minority only protest, which was smaller, got zero media coverage. I've posted the links in the corona thread. I'll go find them later.

But your generalization is really dumb, because every time there is a lawful protest under arms, those "white people" are demonized by the media. So it's not like they're embraced.

Fascination and Fear: Covering the Black Panthers

When the black justice movement got too powerful, the FBI got scared and got ugly

Because showing up armed to watch traffic stops is totally cool.

Colion Noir goes over a long break down of how California passed the Mulford Act. It had almost nothing to do with the Black Panthers actions that day on the State Capitol grounds, but everything they did in Oakland.

The look in that officer's eyes halfway down the the article says more than you need to

Honestly, this was really hard to find. The google machine was spitting out articles at me, as I said, Demonizing the other armed protest. But, a las, @ShadowSpear has a great record. Post from the Gun Control Thread.

I'm quite surprised most PDs haven't gone sterilized with uniforms during this unrest.

ETA: This was last week, there was almost zero coverage of it. But I remember that the media tried to make the Michigan protests at the capital all about white people when there were blacks and latinos.

What do I see? Black men at the Michigan state capitol, open carrying. No one died, no one got arrested.

Because a black person has never faced voter intimidation?

Why would it have to be from this century if it is a current law?

@DA SWO I grew up just outside Gary, Indiana and spent a big chunk of my life there as my family owned a business in Gary. I also spent a lot of my life on the south and west sides of the city.
