In my defense 1) The Z was to better follow Wrath's post and 2) I haven't listened to Run the Jewelz since '17 because I've been too down to get amped up.

I’m on mobile, but has anyone noticed that they’ve been actively fucking with the media when they’ve been out of the way?

Some asshole broke the line and  was shooting pellets at a news anchor and her cameraperson, and of course the infamous CNN reporter takedown.

This cocky agitation will only fan the flames of anger, but the police are blindly, with no self-awareness, using this as an open check experience to live out the power fantasy of their dreams

Fucking disgusting

Just like the protestors though.

Gotta say I am very surprised at the lack of death/ firearm usage so far (from the protestor's side). I though everyone and their grandma had a gun? If they manage to breach the White House without casualties than i'd consider this protest a success.

[Pissy F Benny]

Tremendous riots, the best in history by far, Obama never had riots as great as these

[benjipwns]

In TDKR when they literally had every single cop go down into the sewers except Gordon and Robin I laughed. True story.

In the land down under toilet water spins the opposite way, I imagine what qualifies as success runs the same way.

The more I think about this Killer Mike thing the more hilarious it gets, not just because it goes against his entire image, but just, like... TI and Killer Mike will commercialize their identity for years and years and years and talk about how they're modern slaves but as soon as their cotton plantation runs into trouble they bring out the waterworks and demand everyone stop what they're doing

TI has a net worth of $50 million dollars, functionally he has nothing in common with anybody out there burning cars.

word it's fucking hilarous

Killer Mike got a famous speech about revolution and here the folks are burning down police stations and he like "this ain't the way to do it "





This makes him look completely illegitimate in my eyes now and makes me think he's a massive fucking fake.

They aren't here because we're all old farts but I'm being amused by some of the reactions seemingly all over where you can tell it's the persons first real "police" encounter videos and shit, they're all like "wow the police give no fucks about 'citizen journalists' yelling 'PRESS PRESS' as they pepper spray everyone in sight" or "wow, police really don't care about if protesters are gonna get hurt!" or "wow, the police really think they're above the law when dealing with 'civilians' they dislike!"

to me it feels like not all that long ago that that pepper spraying cop (from was it the first BLM protests?) was a meme being shopped into everything

[Transhuman]

Just like the protestors though.

Yeah yeah we get it, you ask the "tough questions" by being a contrarian on every single topic. Just shut the fuck up already.

But it was okay for me to be contraian when you liked what I had to say (when your emotions weren't as inflamed...)

Don't tell me to FFFUUUCCCCKKK OFFFFFF

Is it any different from Bernie endorsing Biden?

People gotta do what they gotta do.

[benjipwns]

The Periscope for the WhiteHouse protests was handled by some 3x year old journalist and he "couldn't believe" that they were pepper spraying people, and he "couldn't believe" that people were throwing bricks and that barricades were being affected. It's mostly likely to illicit reaction

Whenever I see footage of protests and there's always that one dude doing it, it just reminds me of the "THERE'S A DONKEY KONG KILL SCREEN COMING UP" guy for some reason.

Where? I'm genuinely asking cause I understand you're too dumb to comprehend shit sometimes.

In the past.

This is what i'm talking about. You're being nasty for no other reason than i'm "not on your side". I'm not on anyone's side. I hope you can forgive whatever transgression you feel I made because i'm not going to hold this against you because I understand how tense things probably are over there at the moment.

Equate means "to consider (one thing) to be the same as or equivalent to another."

The same pyschological disinhibition causes both (the reactions of violence of the protestors as well as the police), but I didn't equate their severity or whether they were equally justified, and even if they were, police obviously should be held to a much greater standard.

  lay off the facile armchair psychology man

[Transhuman]

I'm being called a fascist, when I literally just said I hope the protestors attack the White House and that none of them get hurt doing so.

I'm being called a contrarian because I dared to say that part of the reason why these riots started was because of restlessness due to quarantine.

I guess I can't argue with being called a contrarian, it's true by virtue of the fact that you believe it.

lay off the facile armchair psychology man

Use words correctly.

[Transhuman]

Look up the definition of "restless" if you have the time.

[benjipwns]

Equating the two sides because they're a reaction to conditions ignores that one side actively seeks the conditions they claim to exist as a necessity. The protesters, including the rioters/looters who are simply opportunistic, are expressing discontent. You can leave it at that and discard them from the frame if you want to. The police are claiming conditions that are indefinite that require the powers and protections they have been granted, and likely need to be expanded, when it is simply not true. The former will dissipate with the conditions and even the current situation as people move on, the latter seeks to create conditions to justify itself systematically which requires continued action.

I guarantee the cop shooting those reporters with rubber bullets/ pellets wasn't thinking that, the more prescient thought was "I'm completely anonymous so I can do this and I won't personally face repercussions".

Destroy the government's property and police buildings, by all means. Just leave the bloody businesses (for the most part) intact.

I said the barnrushing with guns was a good thing because it actually put your face in the politicians and that same shit should be done here. If they actually reach Trumpy-kins in the White House (have they?) that's effective seizing.

I know of the Aboriginals. I was more talking in general/non-Outback (for lack of better terms) Australia. The White British Criminal descendants Australia.

That's a good article, though (skimming, will have to re-read in a little bit). Shows the issue that Australia isn't the bastion of racial progress that I know it isn't from some ex-pats talking to me about it.

Than Trashy(©Filler) should understand why certain segments are America are tired of the (nearly, given you don't have lynchings or shootings) same shit.

In 2016, the policeman in charge of investigating police, Assistant Commissioner Brett Guerin, promised to improve the existing system, with better tracking of problem officers and a focus on restorative justice. But the man responsible for overseeing police ethics had ethical problems of his own. In February, Guerin quit the force after revelations he was using an alias to post racist and repulsive comments on social media, including encouraging violence against Africans.

What I'm still surprised about is that they still deny the dude was murdered.
I mean, it's on video and it seems pretty obvious he had trouble breathing and the police used excessive force to restrain him.
It wasn't an accident or anything like that.

How much more evidence could you possibly need?

i think the close ranks and cover up mentality is so ingrained in the police etc that its their natural reaction and the only way they how they know to handle it
