Police brutality and police reform (US) - Page 187 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I would think a lot of cops think BLM is anti-police and therefore have the same sentiment that sheriff does of those that support BLM. I can't say I blame them.

Hahahahahahaha

Conservatives: wahhhhh all the companies I hate are censoring my speech
Also conservatives: I can find no room in my heart to blame sheriffs who don't wish to stop crimes against their opponents

It's pretty funny to me, after listening to House Republicans blast Google and Facebook for CENSORING CONSERVATIVE SPEECH WAHHHHHHH in the House hearing today, to see conservatives arguing that private companies apparently have more of a duty to not police hate speech by "customers" who despise them than police departments have to maintain public safety for pro-BLM constituents

When did it become the private sector's job to protect people from the govt limiting their free speech? And can I come put up some signs in their yard? I'm surprised these guys can even lower themselves to post here with mods and all that other anti-freedom jazz

Willingly subjecting themselves to bend the knee--lame.

How come every 'free speech' website is a complete trainwreck of hate/racism etc? If you're trying to promote the beauty of free speech wouldn't you want it to look nice? Why not project a positive image?

I don't think those morons get far enough to consider other people's feelings.

Umbrella was bc he was working with police

You don't blame a police official for stating that they won't protect or serve someone because that someone stated a political opinion?

The sentiment that the public must appease or be servile and hold opinions agreed upon by police-officers to be helped sounds rather silly to me.

The police are public servants, if they can't fulfill that role due to emotional or political concerns, they should quit.

While I'm no fan of that slogan, if you have police refusing to help people based on political selection then it would probably be time for an actual defunding yes.

I don't care if someone is a blabbering Nazi, the leftiest of communists or just generally unpleasant. As citizens they must be afforded protection by the police.

So the rare occasions where you conservatives have a job....does your employer expect anything from you ?

And if he hold you to certain standards is he 'anti-you' ?

Why is a publicly funded library making any statements at all regarding a controversial political movement like BLM?

You aren’t allowed to just shoot someone who is lawfully open carrying.

That is one way to quickly bankrupt a jurisdiction.

Are you referring to constitutional clause on separation of anti racism and state?

It is probably a fairly safe bet for a library to piss of racists.

Sure. The point is that if you approach someone, in Texas, carrying an AK-47, while people are beating on their car, don't be shocked when they open fire on you. Anyone who does this and expects things to go well is a ******.

these are real life consequences, baby. like the idiots that stand in the way of scientific discovery, for some notion that stem cell research shouldn't be done, should reap no stake in the harvest.

Swarmed by a mob and approached by a guy with an assault rifle. The "mostly peaceful" protestors definitely never attack people in vehicles. It's "mostly" kumbaya

Caught under wheels' roll! that one poor truck driver in California, luckily he wasn't killed.. didn't get the memo that a mongrel horde had occupied a section of freeway.

Quote:

The classic research on how flocking birds and misfit hordes move in unison comes from zoologist Wayne Potts, who published in the journal Nature in 1984. His work showed that the bird-brained in flocks don't just follow a leader, or their neighbors. Instead, they anticipate sudden changes in the horde's direction of motion.
