I don't know, maybe there's protocol or something in terms of waiting for a medic that I'm overlooking, but it damn sure looks like they continue to treat him, and then ignore him, as an agitator after he starts bleeding out of his ears. Don't worry, he was just a white guy. 2
Chef Jim Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I still get emails from Libby Schaff the hand wringing Mayor of Oakland. They are often good for comedy relief. Today’s email was a good one: Hello Oakland, This week our city, and our country, expressed grief and rage over the state-sponsored killing of George Floyd, a Black man who should be alive today. The anger and profound trauma, particularly experienced in the Black community, is righteous and necessary, and it has exposed — yet again — white America’s failure to address the travesty of our racism. State-sponsored???

Not sure if you're accusing me, or people in general of virtue signaling, but this is actually the number one trending story on Twitter right now. I expect this to be a big deal tomorrow.

There are thousands of people out their rolling video and whichever one paints cops in the worst light is going to be trending on Twitter. That's the whole point. A cop gets stabbed in the neck? Meh.

And those bagging on the cop who pulled the other one away who bent over to help. He immediately got on the radio I assume to call for medical help.

I don't like seeing cops get stabbed in the neck either. No, I think a ***** ton of people talking about it is due to the brutal and graphic nature of the video. My point is that it's probably not going to be forgotten tomorrow and immediately swapped for the next awful video of the day.

My point is it would be ridiculous to expect nationwide riots with thousands of people filming to produce a night without a questionable incident. But here we are in a place where any incident like this is spun as proof that we're a broken country. Show me one country in world history that would have had fewer incidents after this many nights of widespread riots. Edited June 5, 2020 by 4merper4mer 1
B-Man Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Senator Mike Lee just posted this shortly after midnight EDT -- apparently the DC mayor wants the rioters to have fewer restraints and is trying to eject the National Guard units. https://twitter.com/SenMike... 2
US Egg Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 An "I'm the exception as an old guy" thinks he can confront/ stroll through forward coming cops doing their job and go through them mouth off and be unscathed. He should have been stopped before he got so close. Cops seemingly dismissed him, one unfortunately gave a him a light shove and now he's a victim due to his frailty and acting irresponsibly and possibly become a reason to inspire riots/protests. Now he'll likely be made a martyr and tomorrow things will likely ramp up in Buffalo. Told my wife we got to get out of N.Y. But she insists she can't leave her grandkids, which we aren't allowed to see because of N.Y. covid rules strongly adhered to by her daughter in laws to keep us away. That and N.Y. under Cuomo's guidance is becoming a hellhole. We have the money to move and build again, in spite of the stock market losses, but it's not registering with her. Do I bite the bullet and divorce again a third time and split our assets ? It's a prevailing thought. Actually it be the fourth when considering a 4 year live-in involved a home splitting situation. I will survive......but not for long in NY. 2
BillStime Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 More Fox News hypocrisy... and you Trump lovers eat it up and can’t think for yourself why the US is the way it is today. Thanks Trump! Thanks Trump voters! 1

They are going to need to find alternate housing, as their presence will be needed. Word is spreading that ~1 million people will be descending on DC this weekend. How many will be Antifa, like minded groups, or useful idiots? This may not end well.

Thanks Trump! Thanks Trump voters! Why can't the right do better than Laura Ingraham? So shrill, so biased, nothing interesting. I'm legitimately surprised that they haven't shifted to a younger mouthpiece yet. Tomi and Candace are ready to go. You all love Chanel Rion from OAN. Why are you still dealing with obviously racist, awkward Laura? She's objectively not interesting to watch and has been just running into weird situations left and right. I'm pretty sure her largest sponsor is still Depends, no joke. Sorry, just checked it out and Depends actually dropped her. Her biggest advertisers now are the MyPiilow guy and Pray.com because of course. Edited June 5, 2020 by Nelius

The brain is a fragile thing and smacking your head on cement can cause major, lasting damage. The guy just pushed him back. It was not reasonably foreseeable that he'd fall that way. If he was that fragile he should've gotten his old ass out of the way. It's funny how you dipshits make people who aren't particularly fond of cops defend them because of your dishonest bull####. 3 2

Those same guys turn around and whine about BLM. I mean really, who are the hypocrites? 2
