United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Tzeentchean Perspective]

What beautiful words by John Lewis and.... oh wait...

In the words of someone else talking about that "beaten by cops" post: "That reads like a Dril tweet"

They are really trying to piss off everyone arnt they?

Yep, they really are.

What do oyu mean? like to stop projectiles or people?

To break up the crowds and thus remove the biggest threat of the riots that being the large groups are harder to deal with.

As far as I know, the ADS isn't in civilian use, it's just military.

If it is....I dunno, optics maybe? US cops are really reluctant to use water cannons because it looks bad and reminds people of the civil rights protests where water cannons were badly misused, I'd imagine there's probably considerable reluctance to turn something nicknamed "the pain ray" on US civilians.

If I recall correctly the LAPD has something that uses the same technology in one of its correctional facilities. Heck I could easily see numerous police departments looking into getting a few after these riots are over. As far as optics are concerned you're probably right about this being the reason why it hasn't been used(and/or most of the Guard doesn't have them)the nice thing about the ADS if that unlike water canons there isn't a visual component that looks bad on the news. Plus is doesn't have any long lasting effects unlike improperly used water canons

Yeah unlikely to be used this early, unless it becomes like the rodney king ones.

Soon we are going to have a huge amount of issues arising.

LA curfew is in effect, and most protests were peaceful during the day. The police seem to be going after looters currently. As soon as night hits we will see if the riots start. It could be bad, since the curfew can be the start of a full on worse riots, shots may be fired

Per wikipedia, they said they wanted to, but I can't find anything that says they actually did.

I imagine a bunch of people writhing in pain/screaming plays pretty badly on the news, even if you can't see what's hitting them.

Seems like they are celebrating torching other parts of the city and have given up on the white house

I wonder if the Mayor of DC regrets not establishing a curfew now like any sane Mayor of a major city would in his position?

Naahhhhhh probably not.

The White House won't deploy because these pussies won't do shit. Curfew starts at 11pm. As soon as the NG starts shouting to disperse and starts to advance ゴゴゴ MENACINGLY ゴゴゴ forward they will melt away, maybe throw a few rocks and cans.

I'm gonna go to sleep. Will be surprised if I wake up and hear something actually happened.

Just before I leave, 2 more things.

Protesters send Antifa black bloc to police


Big Corporation says Black Lives Matter. Please consume out product.

Typical Big Corporation vague, no-cost crap. So much meaningless virtue signalling here and on FB it makes me want to fucking vomit.

It's happening.

Dc got locked down hard, I also only heard a few flash bangs, things might finally start returning to normal.

Not surprising. It's far from unheard of for lawyers to end up being complicit in criminal actions, particularly political stuff like this.

It is always silent before the storm

True, but I think the deployment of the guard in force convinced most of the rioters to limit their damage.

Again, peace before the storm. I highly doubt these riots are over so soon

Alas I'm sure you're right. Honestly all we can do is hope that not too much damage is done and not too many people are hurt or even worse die before this thing runs out of steam .

But in a State that will now throw you in jail for any use of a gun. This is not 25+years ago anymore. California is way different governmental wise.

They're racist towards South Koreans or East Asians, they don't hold them in the same esteem they hold for people of darker skin palettes

The right to defend one's property by any means necessary should be made an amendment to the constitution.
