Big Blitz Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) “So let us bring our darkness to the light. Black culture. The thinkers, sports, comedic culture that you guys love so much — we dealt with discrimination at every turn. Can you help form black brands, cultural leaders, black organizations?” Jordan continued. https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/06/07/black-panther-star-michael-b-jordan-demands-hollywood-to-commit-to-black-hiring/ What planet am I on? Did Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, Chris Rock and countless others not happen? And my God, they've made half these comics apologize for all their jokes from 40 years ago. Hollywood racism is most likely real but you may want to take that up with the Chinese. They are the ones that want you restricted in the blockbusters. All movies really. But I thought this was about law enforcement and the justice system. I see zero, yes ZERO, evidence of systemic racism anywhere outside it of ANY SIGNIFICANCE. None. My boss is black. And he's freaking awesome btw. I have 4 supervisors all female and 2 are black. So if you want to know why we know these are essentially anti Trump protests, or just don't get it, its because 99% Americans see the lay of the land exactly as I do. We know a lot of it is these socialist lunatics that want to tear it all down. If you think you're being oppressed outside of law enforcement, you're most likely doing Western Civilization wrong.

What do you think they were doing? Same. That's why I'm asking around here to see if anyone might have a concrete answer rather than screaming "omg wtf defund the po-lease". If I had to speculate, I would say that the cops involved probably had a lot of pent up anger and frustration, and were taking it out on the property around them (which is basically what some of the protesters were doing as well). Neither situations are excusable, but I think it might explain their reasoning and rationale. Maybe the tire slashings are examples of that too. Or maybe the cops are afraid of vehicles being used as weapons and it's a precautionary tactic? Maybe they needed to make sure the cars were empty before proceeding and the windows were so tinted that breaking the windows was the only way to be sure? Again, I dunno either. But in lieu of a damn good reason, these acts are crimes. Edited June 7, 2020 by Capco
The Guy In Pants Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) If anyone wants to watch heads spin; suggest that there are two kinds of oppression in the US; actual and politicized. Follow that up with two types of caring; genuine and convenient. Take it one step further and suggest that consequences for choices we make can only be blamed on another person when the other person is the cause of the consequence. Follow that up with the idea that just because a crime is committed by a person of one ethnicity to a person of another ethnicity; does not automatically mean it was done because of disdain for the victims ethnicity. Of course; for those of you who will find what I just typed to be unbelievable; Believe it. Save your labels for someone who gives a *****. I’m in no way condoning abuses or any “ism” you can apply to this. Edited June 7, 2020 by The Guy In Pants 2 1

bilzfancy Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Let's try a little experiment, take 2 cities, LA and Minneapolis and remove the police force in both cities for 1 month and let's see what happens.
reddogblitz Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Just Joshin' said: I have been off about 12 years but here is one example per your request. When doing a building project we had to select certain vendors as part pf the state aid. We could not select local, community based contractors who would have offered a lower cost. So the taxpayers paid more and the local community lost out on a source of revenue. Here is a great one.....we had a teacher commit a sexual offense with a student. The student was consensual but it was still illegal. He admitted to this but we were still required to suspend with pay until the state defined process played out. He was on the books for over a year and a half while the process paid out. Finally the state took his license (while the other legal issues continued) allowing us to fire him. thanks for your response and service.

Lol Except the groups advocating "defund the police" are not formally asking for no police. They are asking for 45 million out of a 200 million budget to be reallocated to community mental health and community crisis services. They'll probably get 50%-75% of their ask. Despite what some people yelled into microphones, what they are asking for are community resources to handle non-criminal crisis instead of using the police as community managers.
Tiberius Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) marched Sunday alongside hundreds of evangelicals protesting racism and the death of George Floyd in a crowd that eventually swelled to more than 1,000 in the nation’s capital. The former presidential nominee said in an interview that he wanted to find “a way to end violence and brutality, and to make sure people realize that black lives matter.” Under a beating afternoon sun, protesters around Romney waved signs with biblical phrases and chanted: “Do justice! Do justice!” They marched from the U.S. Capitol’s reflecting pool along Pennsylvania Avenue in a demonstration planned by a handful of prominent evangelical churches in the D.C. region. On Saturday, as what would become 10,000 people crammed into D.C. streets for anti-racism protests, Romney tweeted about his father, former Michigan governor George W. Romney, who marched in civil rights demonstrations outside Detroit in the late 1960s.

Magox Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) @Motorin' was wrong. That is exactly what they are doing. They are dismantling the police. Not merely diverting money which has its own risks, but disbanding it. But never fear they have plans in place. Or do they? “Council members said in interviews on Sunday that they did not have specific plans to announce for what a new public safety system for the city would look like. “ Edited June 7, 2020 by Magox 1 2
