No no no, those are cops. It even says "POLICE" across their jackets. I don't know who owns the armored vehicle tho -- that looks like National Guard to me. It was in Minneapolis, so could have been.

I had a friend who was an MP. We talked about cops in the military and he said they were less than useless. Reason being:

If you see a guy running with a TV set and you tell a cop "stop that man" the cop will run out, tackle the person, and stop them.
If you see a guy running with a TV set and you tell a soldier "stop that man" the soldier will lift his rifle, aim, and fire.

It's training. This is what you do. Thus a cop is useless in a battle because their training is to subdue and not kill. And a MP is not what you want to police civilians because their training is shoot to kill, end of story.

Something tells me that things have changed a bit in the last 20 years.

Haha, this is outdated dogma. cops shoot first these days, hence the term "militarization of law enforcement".

more white people are killed by the police yearly than blacks

What's the per capita figure?

mmmmmmmm

time for a bit of "me time" I think

a quick wank never hurts...  

Unless you have been chopping chili peppers

Voice of experience?

I don't know, I suck at math, that's why I'll never ace the Swedish SAT. But I was pretty close at 1,9 (max is 2,0).

But here are some numbers, according to Washington, post 1004 people was killed by the police in 2019. 370 of them was white, 235 black and 158 latinos. over the last three years 1226 white, 667 black and 485 latinos were killed by police. more than 300 of them were unarmed and close to 100 were under 18.

Like I said, when the people choose senseless looting and rioting over meaningful peaceful protest, this is what happens.

Blacks did meaningful, peaceful protests. Sports people would kneel during a crappy song and white people went berserk. That's about the least violent, least noisy, least impactful thing you could do and it got rebukes from the President on down.

The truth is they don't want black people to protest at all, just shut the fuck up, take it, and do their jobs.

That's reality. This is where it leads.

The coroners report is in, and he died from medical problems in conjunction with drugs, the cop did not kill him. But he did nothing to try to revive him either, so, still an asshole.

Coroner covering up for government employee, most likely ordered to.

[Hueristic]

Haha, hacky sack is really just riot practice.

[Arriemoller]

I see a bunch of, mostly young, black, and bored, people using this persons death as a bad excuse to loot and riot.
I also see in the very near future the military regaining control of your cities and restoring order.
I also see four cops being charged in the near future.
What I never see is white people rioting and looting when a white person is being shot by the police.
The poor rednecks of the trailer parks do not loot their neighborhood, if anything, they arm themselves and protect their neighborhood.
Remember, more white people are killed by the police yearly than blacks, yet no white riot.

The rioters outside the White House are almost entirely white so far as I can see.  

People of all colors are angry about racism.

those aren't rioters, they are real protesters. And he was resisting arrest and threw himself on the ground several times, they could not get him in the police car. I don't really see what else they could have done.

[HairyMaclairy]

The autopsy report attributes his death to “being restrained, his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system”

It is an autopsy report.  It is supposed to be based exclusively on medical science. 

You cannot attribute as a cause of death something for which there is no evidence.  “Any potential intoxicants” is something for which there is no evidence.   Therefore it cannot be a cause of death.

The autopsy report is fundamentally flawed and part of an attempted cover up. 

[HairyMaclairy]

those aren't rioters, they are real protesters.

I have seen video of them fighting over security barriers with the riot police.  Your distinction lacks merit. 

The argument you are using is the “no true Scotsman fallacy”.

You are having to resort to crappy argument because you are a racist.  And I am calling you out on that.

It was still at a minimum attempted murder. Guy needs to go to jail. I also hear he is being divorce raped.

[Elwar]

Was it the underlying conditions that killed him? Or the COVID?


Oh ya, we're talking about the Floyd case...

Was it the underlying conditions that killed him? Or the boot on the neck?

The President is using this moment to do the work of a Russian sponsored botnet.

What a joke

Don’t play dumb.  You are the one calling blacks rioters and whites protestors.

That autopsy report is a harbinger for more trouble.

You are the one who is playing dumb I said most rioters not all, as in the majority. I never said all of them are black. That's you distorting my words to fit your narrative.

You lefties always do that, when someone has a different opinion than you, he is always a racist or fascist or nazi.

In the words of Charlie Kirk "Systemic, racially-biased police brutality is a lie not rooted in statistics or data. Tragedies are real, but don’t misrepresent the data. Facts matter."

Just when I thought that I was starting to understand you.

Anyhow, it's mothers day today, hope you paid your mother a visit today, (or otherwise congratulated her).
I gave my mother a watch and my brother and his wife gave her one of those heavy covers that's supposed to make you sleep better, don't know what they are called in English. It was a beautiful day, we had dinner in the garden.
