George Floyd Protest/Riots

We know you care. The feels is progressive policy.

Such a clever and relevant response.

I have developed a medical/scientific solution to enable ball games in the fall for stadiums at full capacity.

Game 1 with Charlotte you will call the BLM Classic Kickoff.

Game 2 with Oklahoma is the Antifa Invitational.

And so on. This will enable the safe gathering of 10s of thousands. Feel free to use the method if there is a funeral, wedding, public school, church, etc that you'd like to attend.

Hahahahahaha

If someone ran up on me like that....

Including cuts from other departments, LA is talking about gifting the BLM folks some $250 million. Of course, this has already been criticized by the potential beneficiaries as “not enough”.

Unebelievable...but approved of by the lefties....

As someone who works in insurance, more likely than not, civil unrest and terrorism are excluded. If you arent sure if you have that coverage, chances are you don't.

Cops have carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want to people with little outside oversight and even less meaningful repercussions when they break the law. That's a police state.

That's why you video all interactions and know the law. You can't guarantee they will have body cam but you definitely can.
It also helps Not to break the law. There are legal remedies for those that would step on constitutional rights. Know the law. It is there for our benefit should you decide to use it.

I'd hit it .....

There will be no hair grabbing

Does @Orangeslice13 need to be bailed out of jail?

Lolololilolol
It could have also been @mad4vols

Just read hundreds of thousands in DC yesterday. Good news is we can now fill Neyland this fall. Atleast I assume that is the case since Corona apparently doesn’t like huge gatherings.

There will be college football... Darnit.

Let me make sure I’ve got this.

Lockdown protests, bad.
BLM protests, good.
Businesses opening, bad.
Businesses looted, good.

 

[Sea Ray]

**** that. Why should the rest of us foot the bill for their incompetence?

Is there anyone here who thinks those of us in Tennessee (or in my case Ohio) should pay for damage that rioters caused in Minneapolis?

Absolutely not. The mayor allowed his city to be burned down. The city/state should be on their own.

Uh oh. Not even the most woke lib is immune from the mob. This guy has spent a week prostrating himself to them and now is publicly shamed for not agreeing to their every demand

That seems to be the narrative.

The press and some local governments should be ashamed of themselves.

Why don't the celebrities pony up they are self righteous about everything else? I'm guessing this one doesn't quite fit the same defiant tone.

I simply 'understand' that people would react that way. I mean it makes sense. Did I vote for Trump? Nope. Did I understand why people did? Absolutely. Check out this quote from one of Nixon's aides John Ehrlichman

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

That same **** has been happening for 50 years.

To date, I'm unaware of anyone backing Erlichman's spectacular claim, while three former officials refute him as either being sarcastic or satirical. Nixon Aides Suggest Colleague Was Kidding About Drug War Being Designed To Target Black People | HuffPost

Has Joe Biden stated what his position is on defunding the police?

Great point

Tom Cotton had a good line on Sunday Morning Futures. About how crazy it is that people trying to re-open their businesses are getting arrested for it while people looting businesses are not.

His position is whatever is on the TelePrompTer. Without that he’s like a rudderless ship at sea.

Doesn't this just make you look like a skinhead?

To me it makes them look like a member of the Manson family and honestly I see lots of parallels.

I still haven't figured out how C19 knows if it's a protest or a social gathering. Is it a really smart virus and knows not to jump from human to human if the folks are protesting for left wing causes?

There's actually a lot here and it goes beyond George Floyd. It illuminates the possibility that shutdowns/stay at home orders are not about public health but about politics.

More and more we're seeing evidence for what this is. A money grab. I've lost track of all the companies that are donating north of 7 figures to this movement. Lego was mentioned here on these pages. I got an email from Chipotle just a couple days ago. It really comes across as ransom money. We'll give you money, just leave is alone then and don't loot of boycott us. Here's the list, although it is 6 days old
