United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Certified_Heterosexual]

As an aside, I just clicked on a video of Pelosi saying that Breonna Taylor was "murdered by the police" (comments and ratings disabled of course), and Youtube jumped in with a 30-second unskippable ad for "Strike For Black Lives." It was a nice little montage of black bodies kneeling while striking the fist, done up with some elevator music to make it sound like a totally natural and not-at-all-threatening idea. Paid for by the SEIU in combination with some group called "United We Can." It goes without saying that any "strike" for "black lives" is inherently nebulous, has no specific demands that can ever possibly be met, and so is just another tiresome protest grift that lets activists plot and scheme under the guise of free assembly and democracy.

EDIT: Youtube also seems to have added an "Applause" button, which I can't seem to find on any other videos. The icon is of a heart with a dollar sign embedded in it. The implication is clear—okay paypigs, Coke donated $100M to the Destroy America Fund, so now it's time for you to donate your bonuses and lunch breaks too.

the thing is I understand why google is doing it.

Project dragon fly was essentially treason, they have done heinous illegal shit that has seen much bigger companies broken into pieces. Their only shot at not being punished is to flip the election to the democrats and hope to god they don't punish them for their crimes.

A massive republican win at this point means that the tech industry gets shafted hard based purely on the need for survival.

Yeah that happens when idiots refuse to shoe the horse, they are not good on concrete and cement. And working it to exhaustion didn’t help.

Anyone remember when the far left was cheering on the coronavirus because it affected old people the most.

Son of a bitch, the Cockroach herself my be part of the group instigating/organizing this.

And the guy who shot at the police was let go for that. Which you should be if you shoot during a no knock warrant. No knock warrants should be illegal, but the police didn't break a law here.

The somewhat bizarre legal conclusion was that the police failed to announce themselves, therefore the homeowner was shooting at them in lawful self-defense, yet the police were also shooting back in lawful conduct of their duties because they had a valid warrant.

In my opinion, they really should not have been able to get a no-knock warrant on the extremely tenuous evidence they had, and so the rightful blame is divided between the judge who issued the no-knock warrant on shaky evidence and the police who sought the no-knock warrant on shaky evidence. However, I accept that with the laws as written, that blame does not translate to legal culpability.

What happened to Breona sucks, but just because something terrible happens doesn't mean a law was broken.

I think it's entirely reasonable for the public to be upset that an innocent woman was gunned down in her own home, and all the justice system pretty much said, "Too bad."

It's a legally correct decision, but I don't think it's outrageous to be pissed about it, nor do I think it's entirely knee-jerk to blame the police, because the undisputed bottom line is that they're the ones who made the bad decisions which set this entire tragedy in motion.

This is absurd. If a fictional bad guy group did that, people would call the author out for using cliches to make it clear what they are. Like, damn, how bad do you have to be to force a horse to hurt itself.

Animal abuse is social justice. Just like murder, arson and looting. As long as the right people are doing it of course.

Wow....messing with a church....not smart move at all.

Why? These people were indoctrinated to spread it wide for virtue signaling, they won't fight back against the invaders they invited.

no because this sends a signal to the other religious folk that their places of worship wont be valued or protected either. The age old taboo about starting stuff on holy ground is not followed by these people.

Holy wars have been started over less.

Instead of civil war am I sensing a crusade?

Honestly, I think they should have tried to indict the officer and judge for the warrant.
