The Buffalo Police Union boss says that the 75 year old was injured because he “tripped and fell”.  

In fact he did, right after he was simply pushed away. It was clearly an accident, not intentional (the fall nor the injury), even though he should have had more sense than to confront in any way an anti-riot unit that has orders to clear the place. With a curfew already in effect.

This only serves as a distraction to the clear MURDER of George Floyd.

He was backing away when he was shoved hard in the middle of the chest.

I’ll make you a deal.  We will rerun the scene.  You back away slowly and I will shove you hard in the middle of the chest.  We will do it five times.  I will give you a dollar for every time you do not hit your head on the concrete.  

We will disregard the fact that you are not 75 years old and that it isn’t a surprise to you. 



You are focusing on his age (which might not be obvious in that precise situation, but that's irrelevant) and disregarding the fact that the shouldn't be there in first place much less approaching forward an anti-riot unit that is clearing the place.

You can argue that maybe curfews shouldn't ever be issued or that anti-riot teams should not exist. Ok, but they do, and they were following orders. Or do you really think the fall/injury was intentional?

This is orders of magnitude away from the George Floyd murder circumstances. Yet some people (and politicians) are trying to put both in the same balance.

Why are you lying? Look up what time the curfew starts and look at the video again, then apologize for spreading misinformation

Am I?

Here it says the incident happened right after the 8 p.m. curfew:

The incident occurred shortly after the city's curfew of 8 p.m. on Thursday, NBC affiliate WGRZ in Buffalo reported. Buffalo police initially said the man simply tripped and fell.

At what time did it exactly happened and at what time was the curfew starting?

I was talking about the differences in brutality, gratuituous violence, and, above all, intentionality. Even if both were alive, or dead. Not even talking about if one is black or white, younger or older, healthy or ill. Just the difference in the cops actions. For me, at least, they are miles apart... as much as to call one an accidental injury vs a (probably) intentional murder.

ell the entire emergency response team has resigned so if that was the end goal of the rioters, top job! Congrats with virtue signalling Cuomo, you got what you wanted right. Good luck replacing these men and women.
Given that "team" was only formed in 2016 it sounds like it really does need to be retooled. Maybe train police to be police and not "special paramilitary units".

And Buffalo? What the fuck are they worried about up there?

Well, there is Canada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVC677-YmfM

In 1812 Madison was mad
he was the President, you know

but he thought he tell the British where they ought to go

He thought he'd invade Canada
He thought that he was tough

Instead he went to Washington.....
and burned down all his stuff

And the White-House burned burned burned
and we're the ones that did it

It burned burned burned
while the president ran and cried

It burned burned burned
and things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wa wa waaaa

in the war of 1812...

Didn't read that source so I might stand corrected, but looks way too bright to be after 8pm. Regardless, police brutality is the root issue, more so for minorities.

In criminal law, you are taken to intend the consequences of your actions.   

Of course the US police are shielded from such culpability, but that shield is part of the problem.

There is no doubt that the police in the US have a very difficult job but injuring and killing civilians for no good reason makes their job harder, not easier.

Maybe it would happen. Alternatively, Fed will go full MMT, which would be good for btc &gold, I assume.
Thinking of buying a bit of physical-never did before. Worth it?

I dunno. People look at the gold/silver dollar ratio, and figure it's gotta revert to the mean at some point. That would be very bullish for silver.

An alternate thesis is that silver is losing its status as a monetary asset. If so, it'll keep dropping in price until it reaches its industrial-use-only price level.

I've got some silver. I'm not looking to buy more ATM. Though if I didn't have a stash of junk silver (e.g., pre-1964 US quarters, dimes, etc.). I'd be looking for a standard bag of that for use as TEOTWAWKI currency.

Here is a homeless man in a wheelchair.  

He was not participating in the demonstration.  He was just there.

However the LAPD have decided to shoot him in the face with a rubber bullet at close range.

This is not a nice thing to do.  This is not what normal police officers do.  As one police chief explains:

Quote
According to the Trace, the Minneapolis Police Department’s use-of-force policy strongly advises against pointing 40 mm launchers — which are used to deploy rubber bullets, beanbag rounds, and sponge rounds — above a person’s lower extremities. The policy also acknowledges that the projectiles can cause “grievous” injuries, and in some cases, death. Rubber bullets should be used only to control “an extremely dangerous crowd,” Brian Higgins, a former police chief, told Kaiser Health News.






Bonus picture. A 15 girl is sitting on the ground blinded by pepper spray.  So a cop casually walks up to her and kicks her in the face.  



https://twitter.com/jeffshafer/status/1268684973604814857?s=21

Some of you may consider the cop to be a hero for kicking a seated girl in the face. I don’t.

I have some silver too, but I'm now in the camp that it's been in the process of debasing for the last 5,000 years or so. As far as I'm concerned now, it's gold or nothing, in terms of physical metals.

Here is another video of the man who was pushed over backwards by the police and cracked his head.

It turns out that he had picked up a dropped police helmet and went to hand it back to them....  that’s when they pushed him over

Patience Padawan....



By the way, we definitely need to take these short-term doom and gloomers (or stagnation prognosticators) with a decently sized grain of salt.

Yeah, sure there could be a pull back, but at the same time, we had seen that kind of nonsense being predicted in 2016 and maybe it even got worse in 2017 while the BTC market was going up more, in relatively short time frames.  So, now we look back, and we really see that the price move up was filled with a bunch of folks continuing to prognosticate downward with any correction, but as soon as we got through the correction we went up some more.

Surely, I am not asserting that I have some kind of vision that is better than theirs, but still I think that we are getting closer and closer to breaking past price areas (such as the $8ks or even the 4 digits) in which we might not be seeing too much of these prices.... and, you mention 2023, which I am not sure if I would want to wake up out of a capsule in that year, having missed all the excitement of the remainder of 2020 and 2021, and maybe even there might be some exciting parts of 2022... even though maybe we are going to blow off top out at sometime, maybe even prior to 2022... and geez... what are the chances that 2023 is going to be in the midst of some depressing drug out correction period.. maybe as low as the $40ks... and do you really want to miss out of our 6 digits run and to miss the excitement of trying to figure out how far we go into that?  Are we going to barely scratch the surface.. maybe even not quite reach it at $96,627?  or will we break above it or even approach $500k-ish?  

I don't know and even though there continues to be stress of the "whachshould I doooo" tm - (carlos matos) dilemma.... Do you want to be robbed of such dilemmas?  snap out of it, infofront...!!!! you best not be going into any capsule and missing out of all the upcoming crazy-ass funzies, including reading some of the nonsense of new WO troll shills that will likely be popping out of the woodwork...

Don't show it to bitserve it'll totally undermine his "confrontation" narrative.

As much tragic this incident is, the reaction of the cops was totally predictable (the push away). What you see in the video is an anti-riot squad that someone has ordered to be deployed to clear the zone. When the man approaches them they have just started to advance in formation. Never, ever, be caught in their path as their orders are to remove/disperse everyone from there by non-letal force and to try their best effort not to break formation. Why the man was not aware of what was happening right in front of him is a wonder.

An anti-riot (they are easily recognisable by their vests and equipment so it's hard to miss them) unit is not your friendly cop you can talk to. An anti-riot squad is "something" you know it is surely going to beat you (with batons most of the time) if you manage to be in it's close proximity when they start advancing. That's the orders they have and that's what they did with the unfortunate ending.

If you want someone to blame, blame whomever ordered them to do "their thing" right there, because what they did is exactly what they are expected to do. That's probably why they have resigned from the squad.

Unfortunately there are thousands of clear cases of police brutality and even cold blood murdering that are a way better example of the situation than this one.
