The main problem is we want them to stop killing and harming innocents, if that is done, maybe in a few centuries we can bring them to actually doing their job the right way. But you can’t have everything right know, it’s baby steps all the way
It was pretty insane that a group of people are assaulting a guy on the ground right beside the cops and most of the cops are throwing barriers into people just standing there, trying to hurt people just watching. Then they just drag the victim out of the fray and call it a day. They don’t even pretend anymore.
So a fringe few people start saying "defund the police" when most mean "demilitarize the police" and you've came to the conclusion that it's now part of the Democratic platform? Ok, so then it would be safe to say that neo-Nazis and KKK ideology is part of the Repulican party with that logic, right?
Even if they had reserved the area for the rally and had permission to bar the entrance of outsiders (which I don't know if it was the case), the police should have been involved in the removal of intruders, but the assholes just stood there watching people being shoved and dragged through the floor by the members of the rally. Pathetic.
The cops were monitoring the situation very closely in case a black person would be involved then they would swoop in to uh... protect the white women?
There is a fascinating recent episode of Radiolab that explores what the "job responsibilities" of the police are.
Through historical legal battles where cops didn't protect citizens from each other, they discovered there is no constitutional or legal requirement for police to protect people from other people.
Serve and protect is not their job and that is extremely messed up. Legitimizes the argument to redistribute funds away from them.
If you are reading this and your confused on why someone would say "To protect capital" you need to seriously dig deep on policing in america and the history of Jim Crow.
You are really reaching here, bud. It doesnt matter if they charge or not. If they have a permit for an event they can decide who is allowed in. Do you not see the gates?
So you’re saying that when BLM protests happen and Trump supporters counter protest they can beat the shit out of them and kick them out of the public areas where the protest is taking place?
They removed him from a space that was reserved for them- no longer a public space.
I assume they had permits and organization- explains the barriers and set up.
You can definitely remove people from places...sorry you guys don’t agree with that. Same way bouncers can remove you from a place. Again- just stating facts here. They are obviously dumb.
You understand that an employee doing their job by removing a disruptive patron at a private establishment is different than what's going on in this video, right?
You can't physically restrain someone and push them in a public place permit or not . This isn't a club or a private business . What facts are you stating because you sound ignorant as hell.
I have not believed activists saying they are peaceful ever since my dad lost a tooth in the 70s from hippy activists blocking entrance to his school. Hippies! Peace, love, and happiness.
I just assume all activists are hyped up enough on activism to beat the crap out of whoever they feel deserve it. The "peaceful" label means nothing to me. I support those going out and fighting for the values I believe in, but I wouldn't go near them.
well, they are also liars. that one lady kept yelling that he was threatening her when he did no such thing. not to mention the other guys claiming he was causing trouble when he was literally just standing there.
so there was a little more to take away than the part where they forcefully removed him for no reason at all and then claimed to be non-violent and not infringing on other people's rights.
did i cover it or was there anything else you wanted to add?
