This is the dumbest motherfucking interpretation of anything that I have ever read.

Sadly there are many more examples of saying this exact thing tonight.

Even if, if these cops were just bloodthirsty racist murderers who went to work exclusively for the chance to kill black people, the idea they would hold that desire so close to their hearts that they would rather be unemployed is crazy.

I just can't.

I just can't.

Not to mention the majority of their PD is black

And an alltime great race-baiter weighs in

Has anyone heard anything else about removing protections for social media platforms?

Is it in practice? I thought we would have heard about a shit ton of lawsuits by now.

Huh, never would've guessed that John Bolton would be one hell of a liberal crisis actor.

Money is the motivator here. Bolton’s got no where else to go fo a paycheck so the book is his piggy bank.

Was the Wendy's in a black neighborhood? If so, probably made more sense to send black officers.

Since the last blowup about it a UK NBC "journalist" started a campaign to get The Federalist and Zerohedge demonetized from Google due to their comment sections, which is literally what protects Google from being liable for the comments section of Youtube. Long story short Google made TF and ZH take down their comment sections and now the Justice Dept is going ahead with removing section 230 protections from Google/FB/Twitter. I'll update with sources later if yall want.

It's in the works...

George Floyd was murdered, this other guy was rightfully shot for acting like an animal.

Animal?

Hardly. And using that kind of characterization is exactly what fuels shit like this.

The guy was not an animal. He was a dumbass.

He was drunk, he fell asleep in the drive thru. He could have just take his DUI and dealt with it.

Instead, he felt empowered to resist arrest and try to run off like a moron, plus grab a tazer. And use it.

That's the real problem here. It is like there is no thought to someone being a dumbass.

There is a real desire to minimize accountability and this is the latest example.

Do I think he should have been shot in the back? No.

But it is not like this "shoot them in the leg" thing really is possible.

I just want to have enough popcorn on standby when all the shit hits the fan.

Those of you who dislike social media may get your wish(es), there’s no way in hell they can survive without that protection.

Are you serious? Are we really supposed to lookup the racial makeup of an area before we send a cop now? And what if the closest is the wrong race? "oops too bad, we could have had an officer there in time to save you from the armed robber but he was the wrong race"

 

[boozeman]

Yeah, I am going to let this play out. I don't buy it, sorry.

 

[Cotton]

Hell yeah! Good for them. Why should they respond to calls they can be put in prison for?

No fucking shit.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Everyone loses.

So far that's absolutley right.

Has anyone seen the body cam footage? I'd be curious to see.

In my eyes if you act like that, you aren’t acting like a person. You’re acting like an undomesticated animal.

I sit back and wonder, what makes a person think they can act like that toward someone that has a weapon? Not someone who has any functioning brain cells.

I get it, the word police can read that entire statement made by me and pick out one word and discount the entire statement. I’m not discounting that. At the same time, if you read that and chose to focus on the characterization of the person and not the actual act, you aren’t interested in getting at the root of the problem.

I looked it up. The neighborhood is overwhelmingly black. I don't believe in hiring quotas, but after two weeks of racial upheaveal, wouldn't it be wise to send at least one black cop when the perp is a black suspect in a majority-black neighborhood?
