Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

[Miggs]

Of course there will. But how many painfully obvious cop on black male murder have gone unpunished? A vast majority of them. Seeing them punished would certainly alleviate some of the hurt and would hopefully make other cops think twice before doing something dumb.

I totally agree. Like I said, I’ve gone over this earlier. But other than this, is there anything else that can be done? IMO, affordable housing is a major issue. The prices to even rent are ****ing absurd.

It looked like the black guy took the spray can off the white guy to prevent vandalism.

Yes, Archie replied and I rewatched it and see it now. Was that Jon Jones taking the cans?

Not sure what the angle here is, but Antifa aren't peaceful at all. They're instigating panic, fear and chaos. They're also largely young, white males who apparently have nothing better to do.

The media wouldn't play. What made you think the guy being stopped was antifa?

 

[Miggs]

I really wish that guy had apprehended the two *******, called the cops and waited for them to arrive.

My buddy just sent this. Not sure of the validity.

It wouldn't be the first time mainstream media mess up a graphic.

Not messing up. Purposefully using movie footage to sensationalize and hyperbolize what is taking place in Philly. At least I think that’s Philly.

Your assuming the person that put the graphic together deliberately pulled it from the movie, as opposed to some untrustworthy Facebook post/tweet/etc. I do agree they were likely looking for the most sensationalized photo they could find.

He may not be Antifa, but when you're wearing all-black and fit their profile, assumptions will be made. Antifa has had many instances the past four years of so of breaking windows, throwing molotovs, graffiti, etc. They're provocateurs in all this along with many others.

It's a fake. The actual newscast doesn't exist anywhere because it was made up.

Just because Benny Johnson of all people says that guy identified with antifa doesn't make it so.

Also there seems to be a lot of confusion about what antifa is, and what it means to be part of that movement.

First off there's no "organization" to antifa, there are hundreds of individual groups that employ their tactics to varying degrees and employ direct action under that banner. That said, probably the most defining characteristic of the movement is that they are willing to employ violent tactics to oppose fascism, think punching Nazis in the face for example, although many chapters only condone such violence in self defense.

Another thing to keep in mind is that anarchy isn't the driving force behind the movement, they are two separate things with some cross pollination.

One thing that the last few days have made me think about is how different these protests and riots are from "race riots" we've seen in the past. The groups of people we're seeing are a lot more diverse than they used to be. While I think most of the people out there are protesting injustice at the hands of police towards minorities, I think in many ways it's becoming a movement against police violence as a whole, and the police state the US has become.

The escalation in use of force by police, not just against protestors, but even the press and standers-by, is helping to move things in this direction as well imo.

You don’t know **** about my position on things. So, your characterization of me is just one in a long list of things you’re leaping erroneously at. **** off, frat boy.

Lol.

You literally bring nothing to the discussion. You still can't even tell me what you have a problem with, Mr Vague.
