George Floyd (II): Say His Name

[D44kpunk]

Despite what you think I don't think very many conservatives want people dying to cops. I'm not sure what hill you think they are dying on but the amount of police altercations that turn physical is a very small %. Violent protests on the other hand? Every city that protested experienced at least a tad of them

Do you feel the response by the police has been proportionate? Because it sure doesn't seem like it has.

I await you showing me the videos of protesters walking up to peacefully assembled cops and gassing them while raining rubber rounds in their faces and breaking their bones with batons.

We tolerate state violence because it's spread out and so ingrained in our culture that it's seldom brought to light except in the extreme cases when an innocent victim is actually murdered by law enforcement. If it's less than that, we're so jaded to it that it doesn't even register. Violent responses are covered extensively because it's so rare by comparison, but the reality is aggrieved citizens aren't reproducing one one-thousandth of the violence regularly done to them.

If the state were a good faith actor in these times than the people turning violent would be a signal to call for public meetings to hear the citizens complaints and address them - in this case police reform. When the state meets violence by increasing the same type of violence that finally led to the eruption in the first place, they are not the ones I feel sympathy for.

This is a die hard libertarian position. Non aggression principle.

I find no fault in your reasoning except in these cases, the people being arrested are the aggressors. The venue to change the system peacefully is still available.

Gotta be a Draylo

Why do you keep invoking my name? You don't like to have any opposition and you temp ban anyone who brings it, yet invoke my name constantly.

I have asked others, but I haven't asked you....how many decades should people spend in those peaceful venues without making headway? It's been almost three decades since the Rodney King riots. People have used those peaceful venues, and plenty of non peaceful ones, in the years since the LA riots but the same old shit continues to happen.

Is it reasonable to continue to expect people to do the same thing over and over to no avail? Does it make any sense to simply say 'you should find a peaceful way' or 'violence isn't the answer' when we as a nation refuse to enact meaningful change when people peacefully request change?

It's honestly a significant reach to even consider what's going on to be widespread violence on the part of the protesters. The ratio of actual physical incidents is so unbelievably skewed towards the law enforcement it's unbelievable. It's really just a ton of property destruction.

Good Twitter thread on it:

Lock him up.

[Yabby]

Yes, lock him up.

Not only for what he did, but because of how dumb that tattoo is.

enough change hasn't happened in 30 years. Basically riots didn't bring the change wanted so they're rioting again and expecting a different result this time.

Sounds like that protester was acting in self-defense of himself and others. (Note: yeah the video makes it bad, but the headline is what I'm referencing )

what a surprising defense of firing your gun into a crowd of allies from bgs best lawyer

I didn't say it was a good idea, but shooting at someone driving into the crowd you are in is classic self-defense.

hey that's our local laundry

the Jeep driver was apparently fleeing a separate aggressive vehicle that had hit the Jeep; he hit no one they say, no other vehicle or protester

shooter was in shock and apparently inconsolable about what he had done when taken into custody. if only it were received as a cautionary tale for aspiring good guys with guns.. most of us are untrained and can't know how we'll react to a situation when armed and eager; we might even start shooting into a crowd for no real reason
