George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Rickyvol77]

The problem is guys like this and LeBron that influence black youth, are just continuing to lay the path for failure.

Cycle after cycle. These fatherless kids need real role models and all the cling to are athletes and gangbangers

Well that wouldnt get a headline.

57-Member Buffalo Police Team Resigns Over Officers’ Suspension

All 57 members of the Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team resigned on Friday in response to the department suspending two officers after a video surfaced showing them shoving a 75-year-old protester to the ground.

The Thursday footage shows the man approaching officers amid a George Floyd protest in Niagara Square and an officer pushing the man, causing him to tumbled backward and fall. Upon hitting his head, blood could be seen running down the side of his face and onto the pavement.

Two officers were suspended without pay shortly after the footage went viral, said Buffalo Police Department spokesman Mike DeGeorge. The man is currently in stable condition, according to reports.​

The now-resigned officers remain employed by the department, but are no longer on Emergency Response Team, which was formed in 2016 for the purpose of managing mass protests.​

“The City of Buffalo is aware of developments related to the work assignments of certain members of the Buffalo police force,” Mayor Byron Brown said in a statement. “At this time, we can confirm that contingency plans are in place to maintain police services and ensure public safety within our community. The Buffalo police continue to actively work with the New York State Police and other cooperating agencies.”​

Tons of kids look up to athletes as role models. Not just black kids. And I grew up with a father. For the personal responsibility crowd, people sure do like to lay blame at the feet of celebrities and athletes for problems of today’s youth. It reminds of the dumb argument about video games causing violence.

That's not what a straw man is, lol.

I didn't say Barr is dishonest.

Are you saying you don't trust him but he is honest, then? Did "he misled us" re: the Mueller report?
Ah, so you do call him dishonest. 'Why?' was the question.

I don’t think it causes the violence. I think 75% fatherless homes and the streets raising these kids causes the same cycle over and over.

Nobody will want to be a cop, so they won't need to disband the department.

 

[NCFisher]

Ignoring the fact that he was clearly lying about the verifiable half of his justification in order to throw down the gauntlet on the unverifiable half.

And not only that, but pretending a “need to expand the perimeter” is an exception to the first amendment and a justification for what they did.

You need to dial it back. This is a little too over the top to be good parody. It’s too dumb to be believable.

State your case; what specifically is the lie?

Your position then, is that the executive may not extend the perimeter around the WH grounds under any circumstance; that's novel and unsupported by any constitutional standard. If the rioters wish to exercise their 1st amendment right inside the gate - perhaps in the Lincoln bedroom - are they to be accommodated? Ah! - so there are boundaries that the government may establish for brick and molotov tossing and not have to meet with your approval.

What is pretense regarding 120 officers being injured defending the grounds? Did the various building fires not happen?

If it's "too dumb", you'll have no problem substantiating your claim. I mean, even lawyers still have to do that, don't they?

They should resign. These cities and politicians will be the ones to suffer. They will just move to better states and cities

Five Bolshevik senators Kneeled today during a moment of silence for Ghandi, I mean Floyd.

Will they find Absolution?

They look like terrorist hostages.

Mere coincidence?

Let them have about 6 months witnessing “racial injustice” first hand.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Awe, come on. I know you got a homophobic spiel in you.

Not really..... other than using politically incorrect terminology from time to time ..... It’s none of my business if a guy likes being with another guy

I think not

 

[Ten_Titans]

This is just a big show until they actually do something about police brutality.

Just be patient. The solution worse than the disease is coming. They are working tirelessly on a plan to disban the police.

I have to agree with Charles Barkley on this one.

Finally, something police and anarchic rioters can support.

And honestly, if you take a closer look at the lives of most celebrities, you'd realize you don't want them to be role models for your kids.

You cop suckers crack me up.

He was expressing his white privilege....... Oh wait!

The is a perfect example and illustration that the issue is not racial.

I envision some looting in buffalo in the near future.

You forgot to mention the part where you invent the argument/claim for the people with whom you disagree. I did not do that. I said I do not trust him, which is an expression of my opinion, and I didn't "invent" anything.

You're a waste of time. You essentially made up arguments for me. You asked me to produce evidence that Barr is dishonest, a claim I did not make. You are the one committing the straw man fallacy



I do not trust Barr because he hasn't earned my trust. He's demonstrated questionable judgment, IMO. He's big government, which I do not trust. He is offering a narrative that he has an incentive to push. Why should I trust his story enough to conclude their actions were justified?

You may believe the government. You may believe what you wanna believe. I choose not to hand my trust over to people in DC.

He said two things:
1) There were some protests that were violent so we wanted to expand the perimeter.
2) This protest was turning violent and throwing things.

I’ve already explicitly stated which of these things was a lie. Also it should be easy to see which is verifiable.

So, you’re now attempting to parody right wingers by saying they can’t read, can’t perform basic process of elimination logic, and aren’t smart enough to conceive of a way to expand the perimeter without gassing and beating law abiding citizens.

That’s just an offensive level of elitism. You should stop.

I guess swearing an oath to serve and protect doesn't apply if you want to protest the disciplinary action of colleagues.
