CommonCents Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 This whole summer is going to be one cointelpro after the other, anything that can be done to spark riots will be done. Don't fall for it. Stay frosty out there, PPP. Just a few weeks I was worried about a couple of my family's members who were heading out to spend a month in Spain. Today the thought crossed my mind that they are better off there than here.

B-Man Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Harvard police study shoots another hole in #BlackLivesMatter narrative No, white officers don’t shoot blacks at higher rate than white suspects Facts don’t matter in the Black Lives Matter movement. Trayvon Martin’s shooting planted the seeds for the movement. Contrary to popular myth, Trayvon was not unlawfully shot and killed by George Zimmerman. The trial evidence was overwhelming that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman with a punch to the nose and when shot was on top of Zimmerman beating him Mixed Martial Arts style, having smashed his head into concrete. Moreover, the racial narrative was false, a perception caused by a deceptive NBC audio edit and false interpretation of audio in which Zimmerman supposedly uttered a racial slur, and amplified by activists and family lawyers. Michael Brown’s death directly launched the movement and took it national. Brown, however, wasn’t shot “hands up, don’t shoot” but because he sucker punched a cop sitting in his vehicle and tried to steal the cop’s gun. [Ferguson PO Darren Wilson injuries caused when Michael Brown sucker punched him while trying to grab gun] These seminal events of the Black Lives Matter narrative were lies. The overall portrait of blacks being subject to a white police genocide (the word used by aCornell professor recently) also is false. See and listen to Heather MacDonald’s explanation of the statistics. Add another set of facts, as analyzed in a just released Harvard study [full embed at bottom of post], reported in The NY Times: A new study confirms that black men and women are treated differently in the hands of law enforcement. They are more likely to be touched, handcuffed, pushed to the ground or pepper-sprayed by a police officer, even after accounting for how, where and when they encounter the police. But when it comes to the most lethal form of force — police shootings — the study finds no racial bias. “It is the most surprising result of my career,” said Roland G. Fryer Jr., the author of the study and a professor of economics at Harvard. The study examined more than 1,000 shootings in 10 major police departments, in Texas, Florida and California. The result contradicts the mental image of police shootings that many Americans hold in the wake of the killings (some captured on video) of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.; Laquan McDonald in Chicago; Tamir Rice in Cleveland; Walter Scott in South Carolina; Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati; Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La.; and Philando Castile in Minnesota. The study did show a racial disparity in non-lethal use of force, such as searches and handcuffing. But those are not the events that drive Black Lives Matters riots and protests. If Michael Brownhad been patted down and handcuffed, rather than shot dead, the Black Lives Matter movement would not have launched as it did. Black Lives Matter is a social movement launched by the left, which uses allegedly racist police killings as the excuse and justification for a pre-existing anti-capitalist narrative. If those justifications don’t actually exist, it will not change the narrative, because facts never mattered. When #BlackLivesMatter Protesters and Counter-Protesters Met in DallasGood video to see .

Today the thought crossed my mind that they are better off there than here. It's pretty clear to everyone paying attention that things are being stirred up by a lot of outside actors for a lot of reasons. That's not to diminish the actual issues the folks in various movements are protesting, I happen to agree with more than a few of their stances, but there are plenty of other folks who are looking to use those movements to light a fuse. Sadly this isn't just occurring here, but also in Europe as well. The last thing we can afford to do as a country (or as a world) is give into those who are trying to provoke violence and division and lose sight of the bigger issues at play. We are clearly in the midst of a fight between traditional democracy and totalitarianism masquerading as globalism. A global society is inevitable, but the mechanisms under which it functions are not. Massive unrest and violence will only further the hold the totalitarians have on the system. imo

reddogblitz Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Trayvon Martin’s shooting planted the seeds for the movement. Contrary to popular myth, Trayvon was not unlawfully shot and killed by George Zimmerman. The trial evidence was overwhelming that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman with a punch to the nose and when shot was on top of Zimmerman beating him Mixed Martial Arts style, having smashed his head into concrete. Perhaps if George had stayed in his truck like the 911 operator said things would be different. There was no "overwhelming evidence" that George was attacked first. My theory on this case is it was 2 knuckleheads. George for following him when instructed not to. Trayvon for doubling back. He lost George and was right by his Father's apartment. But he decided to double back and look for him instead of going in and locking the door. If either one had sense it would have been a total different outcome. Of course, George would still be in jail because he's a hot head pistol packer who's not afraid to whip it out.
bbb Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I think they're doing a scene from "Hamilton." She was one of the people who were protesting on the highway illegally and blocking traffic. Of course the "man" bringing them in was putting them in imminent danger and as such they are brave, brave souls. I, as a white person just don't understand the brutality they face. She looks quite dressed up too. If this weren't staged for photographs like this, knowing they would get arrested illegally blocking traffic, then I don't know what propaganda is. She's even having a bit of a Marilyn Monroe moment going on there. My favorite harmonica solo. Yeah, I have a favorite harmonica solo. No Magic Dick? Damn I like this guy. I want this guy for president.
Deranged Rhino Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I think you're about fifty years off in your theory. This is fully home grown. What is fully homegrown? There's massive unrest across much of the world at the moment. Different issues, but same growing sense of hopelessness which could easily turn bloody.
CommonCents Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah those beautiful women will kill you. Everyone loves beautiful women, they can kill me and I will die happy....after the Bills win one. Spain had a lot of chatter though back when the poverty stricken outcasts attacked Paris. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/587227/Holiday-terror-threat-level-Spain-Tunisia-and-France-on-high-alert I know we can't be sure of their motive or future plans but I don't think they are going to Syria to learn how to sell Girl Scout cookies.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 On the other side of the argument... I do get into it at work with one guy that is into the whole Farrakhan, Elija Muhammad thing... He literally wants to cherry pick the best of the last 62 years after Brown and go back to the "separate but equal" days, negro leagues, the whole ball of wax. WTF... Don't even get me started. People simply do not have any concept of middle outcome. Balls to the wall high risk, spraying their seed all over the place mentality. High yield & risk, they usually get boopkiss with most in the community outside the few lucky one's that perpetrate and fuel the high risk addiction even more, spoiling it for all. There is a conservative lily-white, "boring" side to me. I just don't jam it down peep's throats.. Or do I need think it does need be rammed down. They dont need a pickle, they are already in it! ;-) When will people start respecting THEMSELVES! When will people get it? Maybe I am just a dreamer and can't get that one foot down on the ground. It breaks my heart to see things dying on the vine. :-(
....lybob Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Two deputies shot and killed in Michigan. Obama's America. Ain't it grand. WTF, really what the !@#$ LA

Probably better than his Ferguson speech. Gather around kiddies. Turn on the TV. Get ready for another episode of "Divide and Agitate." Now in its final season. Edited July 12, 2016 by LABillzFan

But that things here are "being stirred up by a lot of outside actors for a lot of reasons" I think by outside actors he meant commies from national organizations roving from protest to protest This is also homegrown as they are commies from the US. I think you were both right.
