Hell yeah

IIRC the minneapolis protests were peaceful until the cops started flashbanging people

it's almost like a doctrine based entirely on escalation will never work

Seems like the police don’t fire into the crowd when the crowd can shoot back

the cops want to act like the parents of america, with this whole fucking thing of "oh you resisted what i did? okay, i'll come down harder"

thats just shitty parenting tactics and they're trying to apply it to a whole fucking nation

why would they ever think tear gassing and flashbanging an already-pissed-off crowd would work

Just keep the PR war up. People need direction for their rage. right now it’s chaos without direction

^

That will only lead to a worse police state

bois protect small businesses and direct the rioters to the police station. a group of rioters is a big, unguided ball of anger and destruction. give that unguided mass some guidance and there isn't anything you cant do

Keep reminding people why they are mad

“Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down, should have been done long ago.”

People are calling for leadership

give it to them

Easier said

Texas State troopers did a great job compared to the City police counterparts in Dallas.

definitely easier said than done but if you can do it, skys the limit

Well at least some are finally maybe realizing you can’t crash against a wave with a wave

So, I don't now if anyone has seen this yet

Let's spark some more outrage. Which city gets looted next...

Charlotte is where it happened.

So in Columbia SC they're trying to blame 'white guys in Hawaiian shirts' for starting the violence. From friends who were there when it kicked off, that's bulkshit.

The ice house isn’t racist, it’s about realizing the country keeps dealing us the worst hand

Rome held a multi cultural/ethnic nation encompassing the entirety of the Mediterranean together for 1000 years give or take. We can't manage 300 years

Roman empires population was less than 1/6 of ours

You guys seeing protests in London over the George floyd. Fuckin crazy.

b-b-but... what do you MEAN a population of 330 million people with hundreds of different cultures isn't going to play nicely?

LMAO

fuck domestic protests, we going international

thats a fucking meme, do you have a source @mechanical_ginger

> @wildcatb > > I was watching a stream and one of the first things I heard when I hopped on was “hey beat up that white guy” > Today is going to be eventful @Abe Clark I know people at the protests, and a couple of business owners in the area. Last night was interesting. We're hoping today is less so.

BLM protest in Boston tonight. Will provide updates

I can’t even tell what that means

Is it good or bad

I'm going to be honest. This shit needs to stop.

Innocent people who never meant harm are about to start getting hurt if it doesn't.

Stolen a swat car and a police horse. Holy shit

I'm not a bootlicker, but at the same time. Everyone else in these cities didnt ask for this.

^ totally agree with that its come to a point where its going to do more harm than good

in some of these cities

People are legit scared. One of my close friends fled Denver because she is scared.

I’ve thought a lot about that. The reality is that people who sit by, vote for the same corrupt politicians, and do nothing when they see people being abused by cops, don’t use the influence they have (like business owners) to influence change in their city, have been complicit in allowing, and frequently encouraging the police state, and, while I don’t condone any violence against innocents at all, I don’t really care that they might lose money/be inconvenienced/etc

I'm not talking about the buisness owners, I'm talking about regular citizens.

Out of the let's say 1,000,000 people that live in Minneapolis maybe 3,000 are causing all this shit. Burning down half of the city.

I mean, people have been almost constantly peacefully protesting, and it’s been frankly, completely ignored. So I genuinely don’t see what other option these people have.

And in all reality out of the 3000, it's probably 200 or 300 people actually looting and burning shit down.

Yeah. Idk, I just had a discussion that really made me look on both ends. Over that video of those people out front being shot with rubber bullets because they wouldnt go in.

Talked about the whole thing.

Yeah, I was just talking to someone about that

If there was one person recording it probably wouldnt happen like that. But there was about 6 or 7 people.

The police brutality is only increasing, and there’s hundreds of videos of peaceful citizens, some not even protesting, being violently attacked by the police

Bro the literally said “light them up!” And all the officers bunched together and took aim, and the rest just watched.

That was clearly there plan, intent, and execution, that they where all okay with

I'm not sure man. Honestly the person I'm talking to was former 82nd and he is making some really valid points. If they keep it up and active duty comes in a rubber bullet is going to be the least of their worries.

But he also acknowledged there was LEO escalating shit.

I mean that’s an obvious case. They have literally zero authority to do that, and wildly escalated force.

They literally think they can do whatever the fuck they want to.

> I'm going to be honest. This shit needs to stop. @Anonymoose yeah. This isn't how we would have done it. Which is why I believe we should be more focused on legitimizing our cause. I'm looking at the situation and analyzing it, seeing what works and what doesnt. Their organization is something to admire but their control is terrible. They have a non profit up with email list and a chapter or sub chapter in most major cities. They waited till the numbers were high enough and the prime moment to strike. However in the end they will defeat themselves by making more enemies than friends.

This has been more productive at pointing out the wild overreach and violent abuses of power of the state than anything conservatives/libertarians/b-bois have done in 25 years.

No, a curfew was set and there is a valid reason for that.

How do you separate the peaceful from the violent.

Fuck their curfew, and the people on the porch where distinctly *not violating it*

And why the fuck where they in a neighborhood with no rioting?

It's trying to minimize casualties. I mean we can all agree that people burning shit down and looting is bad right?

Wtf?

Idk man. I'm just really torn at this point. I dont want to see innocent people hurt.

What the fuck do you mean trying to minimize casualties when the police are the ones STARTING it. They went into a peaceful neighborhood and initiated the use of force against people obeying the law.

you didnt even post sparky and you still got warned for shit

He did, it blocked his post

oh. what the hell

Yeah, gotta watch what u say

Innocent people where *always* going to get hurt. If you think otherwise, you’re fooling yourself to ease your worries. I mean, we should do everything we can to protect innocents and loss of life, but there was never going to be change without danger.

We are coming to a tipping point. Couple more days and Trump will have to enact Martial law. At that point gov over reach and simple brutality will either wake a nation or break it. Is that not the goal?

The abuses of police authority are far worse than the harm caused so far.

Let's be honest none of us know what will happen if martial law comes about.

And I think it depends on the scale of it.

If its nation wide shit may get real.

True@Anonymoose.

If its state by state that may end differently.

Im kind of torn on all that. on one hand yeah i see the abuse of police authority. but on the other hand i see the protestors that get violent trying to burn down entire towns on absolutely no basis other then because theyre pissed off.

It’s become global fellas. Reports of Ireland South Africa and Germany on the protests

Is shit getting real not the point?

This was what the [reee] was always going to be, people are just scared because now it’s real.

Truth. They don’t like it because black lives matter started it.
