Reading the tweets and mentions about that is quite something.

Lol 2020.

First off - stop pretending like you care about the black community.

Second - it doesnt matter what you or I think. It isn't up to us.

They have state sanctioned murder happening, and then the other officers are parading around making it OBVIOUS they support the murderer.

The police aren't there for them. They don't care about them. The country hates the black community. How would keeping the status quo help? What are they possibly hurting when the current situation is officers murdering them? What is the downside?

That's what I meant with this was all inevitable, it's logical, and rational. What they are doing currently has resulted in a horrible situation for them. What good is taking the high road when it still results in murder?

So tell me, Mets - when you talk about helping or hurting the black community, what do you mean exactly? Do you think them waiting for an arrest to not happen means they won't be murdered next time? If not, are you suggesting by doing this they are more likely to be murdered in the future? That seems likely, actually. They gain NOTHING by acting how you define as acceptable. They lose every single day. By playing in the system they will continue to lose. It's offensive you even pretend to care, implying that if they would just do things differently maybe the white guys would let them have a better time.

One definitely positive result is that I think that Klobuchar is absolutely finished as a VP possibility.

There was an absolute flood of substantially identical tweets today about her not charging the cop in a case back when she was the county attorney.

You are correct and this won’t help Kamala’s chances either.

At least right wing nerds will be kept busy trying to track down who originated it.

Pretty much every VP candidate got some bad press this week in some form or another. One of the only ones not to (Cortez Masto) strangely dropped out today.

I bought some cheap shares of Keisha Lance Bottoms on predictit earlier this week. I don't think it's going to be her, but the chances are better than 1 in 100.
05-28-2020 , 11:04 PM
And others will be kept occupied ratioing that tweet

Good thing its easy to trust the cops in MN right now!

A white guy dressed in all black with gloves, umbrella, gas mask, boots, etc. walks up and just goes down the line smashing every window with a hammer, and then flees the scene instantly and isnt seen again that night.

I mean its pretty obvious whats going on there

Scanner reports saying 3rd precinct has been breached and is being evacuated. Expect flames shortly.

I temporarily checked the **** out when everyone coalesced behind Biden. Is Stacey Abrams still being talked about for VP, or did something happen with her as well (besides taking Bloomberg money)?
05-28-2020 , 11:09 PM
Last I heard she wanted it bad but Biden had her way down the list in nope territory. At this rate she’ll be announced by Monday.

Yes, she's still being talked about.

She would be a terrible selection. Not as bad as Klob, but terrible.

Abrams says she's too busy trying to stop Republicans from rigging elections in Georgia.

Again eat a dick about me nmot caring about the black community

you have no idea

secondly i have no issue with the protests. i even said you can justify what they are doing to the police cars and property if you would like

but burnig down businesses and stuff makes people that dont care about them care even less about them. its not a solution

people think that black people are uncultures and have no sense of morality and no respect for the law or decency, and burning down the city is going to change that how exactly?

The phenomenon of police refusing to hold each other accountable is widely known in the criminal justice world.

mets,

keep your eye on the ball. centuries of racism, slavery, oppression, executions. that's the problem.

rioting is not the problem we should be focused on. and if you want to stop the riots.... hmmm.... wonder how they could be stopped.... idk.... i can't think of a way lol

Thought I saw something earlier that the MN governor had only deployed 200 national guard and 200 state police, if true lol.
