    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Not really? FFS, if there's one thing to know is that cops are not a collective. They have separate state/city hierarchies. We absolutely should not support them as a collective, some states/cities have full on democrat enforcers, but you can't blame rural sheriffs in Arizona who refuse to serve...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    As if the majority of their population had any say in it. In most it was a smaller portion of population than in CSA who had any say about that. And yet sometimes they go even further elsewhere, somehow. Consider the 3 other anglosphere countries i mentioned, who were far more willing to...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    True, and its not that in Europe either. After all England isn't just "some foreign power" to Scotland or Ireland, and the acceptance of glorification of pre-democratic rule in Europe is not confined to some widespread outbreak of monarchist sympathies. Wrong, if that was the case, progressives...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    And that is the beginning of why the situation is a mess to begin with. Progressive race politics ruin everything. Because that's what this is about, current day (as opposed to yesterday's, it wasn't such a hot topic around the time all these things were named after Confederates to begin with)...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    No, that's what you mistakenly think they signed up for. They didn't sign up for what you think they signed up for. The only organizations in the world where many people really do sign up with that mindset tend to be ones in Middle East and have something like "martyr's brigade" in their name...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    No, just because shit happened doesn't mean the risk calculation was wrong. Cops don't get to decide policy either, they enforce judiciary's decisions, execute orders from the executive branch, and have to care about their own work safety and liability while at it. From what i understand the...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    So? The judge still had to sign it. No one held a gun to his head. If he didn't sign it, guess the situation would have had to be handled a different way. But the judge deemed the risk worth the benefit to the investigation. In this case of course judge is the third party that gives consent or...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Judges authorize warrants, not officers. As i see it, no knock warrants are like general anesthesia surgery. Sometimes it is absolutely necessary, but it inherently carries a risk and there is even a small chance it could kill a healthy person who doesn't need surgery at all. Hence, a careful...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    A good start would be to at least limit them in who and why can do them. No more random, possibly undertrained city PD doing no knock raids. If it absolutely has to be done, it better be something worth summoning FBI SWAT, DEA, US Marshals or other organization that is meant to be good at it...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    On one hand it is proof that US justice system can handle riot damage cases properly if it wants to, so its not just simply incompetent and dysfunctional. On another hand, it is another case suggesting that the US justice system has some clear preferences regarding whether it wants to handle...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    He was a couple minutes too slow in making the shift between restraining an erratic junkie who's resisting arrest with an angry crowd forming around him and rendering first aid to an erratic junkie who lost consciousness, with an angry crowd around him. We will never know what exactly was going...

    >personal risk Exactly. Leadership is one thing, being a martyr is another. If he got stuck fighting a felony charge, or worse, failed at it, it would jeopardize both his right to have guns and senate run, for no gain at all.

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Due to their alliance with ideological left, DNC is stuck in a gordian knot regarding crime policy. Between the fact that some traditional "tough on crime" methods are proven and reliable way to deal with it, while the necessities of leftist thinking and especially lately race focused narratives...

    Only if you disregard what was done before. Look *very* carefully at her interaction with the girl that gets down on the ground a moment before the attack on the girl in pink.

    Yup, there's a new video released with a different angle and longer timing, from neighbor's security camera. It also contains a nice statement of intent...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    On the contrary, of course they would like to send unarmed, UK style police into gang infested democrat cities. The idea is much bigger - cops aren't allowed to use anything at all. Adds up nicely with the radical's idea of abolishing prisons alongside abolishing police - yes, in general...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Looks like suicide by cop. Whether caused by intent, stupidity or belligerence, hard to say, and not very important. If in USA you try to reach into your car while cops with drawn guns are telling you not to and trying to pull you away from the car in the last moment, you know what they're...

    I'm guessing that under the threat of looming privatization BBC is already practicing how to compete with The Onion. With titles like that, they might even have some chances.

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    Is it really? In case of police and other enforcement agencies similar factors apply - they have a lot of power over everyone, and being under this power is not optional. You don't get to choose whether a cheap or expensive police squad will be arresting you. With some of the other government...

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    That's supposed to be the great evil racism? If so, it's laughable. This is just dumb and boring attempt at edgy humor,10 year old grade, which translates to a big pile of fail. No one likes those. And if it was serious, then it's just simply an even greater level of idiocy. News at eleven...
