George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Boca Vol]

Minneapolis mayor booed by protesters after refusing to defund and abolish police

This is how ridiculous this has all become:

"Crowd yells “shame” as @Jacob_Frey gives no clear answer for #AbolishThePolice @MPD_150 ."

Yes, abolish the police. That will work out!

 

[Sea Ray]

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

Sounds like a threat to me

 

[Electric Orange]

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

Its hard thinking for yourself

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.

At this point, it's technocratic and anti-Western/capitalist, would-be authoritarians.

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

Exactly. The word “bribe” comes to mind as well. Or “paying protection”. It has turned into a huge racket.

And though none would be so dumb to admit it, they won’t be too upset if all the mass protests rekindles the spread of the virus which will give them cover to continue the lockdowns until after the election.

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

Yes, he said ice cream is 7.

The one I find the most ironic on that list is Banana Republic lol.

I heard Michael Jordan is donating $100 million to the cause. I hope he can still pay his private police force.

Can't believe two of the biggest stories this weekend involve defunding the police and canceling JK Rowling because she dared say that menstrual cycles are mostly for women

 

[evillawyer]

I laughed

Who's they? There's no spokesperson for white people. However there are certainly plenty of white people saying stupid s***. No shortage of that from any cross-section of America. Also that cop was a POS. He had 18 complaints filed against him and he should've been gone a long time ago. When cops aren't held accountable this is what happens.

Again you are proving you are simply a Shallow headline reader nothing more. While Chauvin may or may not have been a douche and what he did to Floyd was wrong (although still taught my MPS as ok), he didn’t have “18 complaints”. He had a few which were unfounded and he had 4 instances of using a weapon (3 shootings) which were all 100% justified. Not quite the same thing

Now that being said he seems to be a moron whose decision making skills lack critical thinking skills

Keep talking like that and I got to think there is some truth to this white supremacy thing.

 

[Bigun]

Never forget when the NYPD went on strike to prove a point and the crime rate dropped

In New York, major crime complaints fell when cops took a break from ‘proactive policing’

In Baltimore it had the opposite effect.

Good thing I got my guns sighted.

 

[Rickyvol77]

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.

Body cams help officers much much more than hurts them because it shows what the public is doing as well leading up to anything

 

[Boca Vol]

Let's see how this plays out....

Justice Smith comes out as queer, calls for queer and trans inclusion in Black Lives Matter

 

[NurseGoodVol]

That's very true. People can't deny what's happening on video in court. I've seen several videos that do not help the persons case as they were caught breaking the law. I think it is a good thing for officers to have.

 

[1972 Grad]

Not justifying or condoning. But it's understandable. Listen to Joey Kent and other ex-Vols talk about this and they'll take the same position as me here.

Why should anyone care what some ex-jock says about anything?

Just a silly idea some people have.

You ain't black if you don't want to defund!

I like that he still ignored the fact that Kent hated the police due to him covering for a rape

@n_huffhines

It's not happening

 

[FLVOL_79]

I laughed

Id wear that hat

but below Bunker Inspector it would have to say "no fat chicks"

 

[Ten_Titans]

It's not happening

I'm just messing with you. I'm not gonna troll anymore lol.

But I think it absolutely will happen somewhere.

Edit

Not an abolishment of a police, but a significant de-clawing.
