Who needs a fucking constitution anyway?

Bill Barr is building his own personal army. It’s time to step up, Joe Biden | The Independent

Did yo actually read the article? its all hyperbolic.
And on top of that, Do really think that if these guys where doing anything unconstitutional there would not be dozens of court cases underway.

I wonder how many of you guys have ever thought to yourself "fuck i wish the cops were here now"

You're not really getting this are you?

I was reading that the Asian officer involved was only a trainee and it was only his third shift as such.

Nope, he was an 8 year veteran, the other two were newbies.

Aye, just checked, you're right mate.

They want the black cop released for killing a white woman.

Yeah, the one that got 12 and a half years.....

• Police killed at least 104 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. (See which police departments were responsible for these deaths)
• Nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting
• 36% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population
• Unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015
• Only 13 of the 104 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime. 4 of these cases have ended in a mistrial or charges against the officer(s) being dropped and 4 cases are still awaiting trial or have a trial underway. Only 4 cases (Matthew Ajibade, Eric Harris, Paterson Brown Jr., and William Chapman) have resulted in convictions of officers involved, with a fifth case (Walter Scott) resulting in the officer pleading guilty.
• Of the 4 cases where the officer(s) involved have been convicted and sentenced, none were sentenced to serve more than 4 years in prison. Only 1 of 2 officers convicted for their involvement in Matthew Ajibade's death received jail time. He was sentenced to 1 year in jail and allowed to serve this time exclusively on weekends. The officer who killed Paterson Brown was sentenced to only 3 months in jail. Deputy Bates, who killed Eric Harris, was sentenced to 4 years in prison and Officer Cobb, who killed William Chapman, was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison. Officer Slager, who killed Walter Scott and pled guilty, has yet to be sentenced.

Want to take a guess how many of the above were white?

The last one got 20 years, which considering what he did was probably the right sentence.

He would have probably got off without the video showing him executing the guy.

Divine intervention?

National Guard troops hospitalized after lightning strike in DC’s Lafayette Park

Two National Guard troops were struck by lightning in Lafayette Park, where some of their comrades had fired chemical irritants and less-lethal bullets on peaceful protesters.


The pair was hospitalized shortly after midnight after lightning struck the public square outside the White House, a little over three days after U.S. Park Police and the National Guard violently cleared out protesters ahead of a visit by President Donald Trump to a nearby church.


The troops were treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to a spokesman for D.C. Fire.

The Story Behind Bill Barr’s Unmarked Federal Agents


The motley assortment of police currently occupying Washington, D.C., is a window into the vast, complicated, obscure world of federal law enforcement.

Few sights from the nation’s protests in recent days have seemed more dystopian than the appearance of rows of heavily-armed riot police around Washington in drab military-style uniforms with no insignia, identifying emblems or name badges. Many of the apparently federal agents have refused to identify which agency they work for. “Tell us who you are, identify yourselves!” protesters demanded, as they stared down the helmeted, sunglass-wearing mostly white men outside the White House. Eagle-eyed protesters have identified some of them as belonging to Bureau of Prisons’ riot police units from Texas, but others remain a mystery.


The images of such military-style men in America’s capital are disconcerting, in part, because absent identifying signs of actual authority the rows of federal officers appear all-but indistinguishable from the open-carrying, white militia members cosplaying as survivalists who have gathered in other recent protests against pandemic stay-at-home orders. Some protesters have compared the anonymous armed officers to Russia’s “Little Green Men,” the soldiers-dressed-up-as-civilians who invaded and occupied eastern Ukraine. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to President Donald Trump Thursday demanding that federal officers identify themselves and their agency.

I mean I get it, up to the point they were looting and stealing his shit.
That shit has got to stop, it deligitimises their very legitimate grievances. It's going to put people who were originally onside against them. Just making themselves out to be a bunch of hoodlums

Separate snot and beard

All demonstraters aren't looters, and all looters aren't demonstraters.

Most people know this

Hope so

The media finds looting and violence more interesting than demonstrating.

The nature of ratings

Here's a cop discretely giving armed White Supremacists a heads up. Discretely, because they didn't want to "look" like they're playing favorites.

Don't know if twitter vids embed here so heres the link:

I guess a black cop wouldn't be able to do this

There's a BLM protest tomorrow in our city centre, I'm going for a new TV

Someone cut and paste it? I cannot read it without removing my adblokcer, which I refuse to do.

And the majority of people concentrate only on the Looting, the Rioting, the Vandalism, the Arson - look at the news reports...

watching a passionate yet boring peaceful demonstration doesn't hold anybodies interest for more than a quick glance or two, Yet, give us a video of arson, looting, arrests, tear gas, rubber bullets, ohh yea, spell bound watching the news and begging for more

So you're saying the rioting and looting are an essential part of the protests.
The attention grabbing part.
