So, uh, who is ready for the battle at the White House tonight?
“Protest peacefully and you’ll be heard.” LOL!!! No, you’ll get mocked. There is literally no hope. Burn it all down.

I appreciate Killer Mikes words, but from where I’m sitting, it seems organizing, mobilizing, and voting hasn’t worked. In fact it seems to me that when black people are heard or obtain even an ounce of power, the revolt from the majority whites come down tenfold on their interests. We elected a black man president and their response was to elect a literal racist (among everything else he is) as an immediate replacement. I hope calm prevails but I get the anger and hopelessness that burning shit to the ground is the only outlet to have anger not only heard but seen.

How about if I think they’re equally despicable?
If you value property more than (or equal to) human life, that's pretty fucked up.

Don't think anyone is contending that. At least, I hope not.
I don't think people are saying it verbatim, but when you see people on social media discussing looting but saying nothing about the murder (or some bullshit like "The murder was bad.....but [long rant about looting]), it's placing more importance on the looting than the murder.

what if the looters kill/murder someone?
Then arrest them for murder. Are you expecting a different response?

I'm sorry, are you implying that there is any other answer than the fact that the looting is unequivocally wrong and unacceptable?
Yes. One can believe that stealing is wrong and that "looting" is not productive for the cause, while at the same time acknowledging the underlying rage and the mental state of people who are angry beyond rationality. Some people truly believe that "looting" is the only way to "rage against the system," and while I don't really agree, I am not going to judge their state of mind, which is irrational in the heat of pure rage. I also think that there is much more destroying going on than "looting," again as an expression of rage. In any event, the opportunists who are just stealing for the sake of stealing should not divert attention to the reason for the unrest. And most important of all, I think it should be clear that the "looting" is not worse than the murder that has set the stage for the current conditions that set the stage for the unrest.

Interesting, if you disagree with me shut the fuck up. Seems like you’re being quite the hypocrite.
If you think the "looting" is worse than the murder, then yeah, we disagree, and my opinion is that people who think this should stfu.

A focus on "looting" is to intentionally avoid the reasons for the underlying rage. And that's exactly what it is, pure rage at this point after years of being ignored in pleas for justice and reform. Even if you think the looting is wrong--and we can debate that in a civil manner--don't let it take precedent over the underlying issue. To do so just goes to show that you don't really care about the issue and should probably just stfu.

I’m hearing more and more older conservatives turn on Trump. A family friend who has been very outspoken with his conservative views announced he wouldn’t vote for the guy. My parents now can’t stop talking about what an asshole Trump is. I think this confluence of Trump and a plague has turned my mom (who, along with my formerly Fox-addicted dad, voted for that fucker in 2016) into a full-blown progressive. She’s livid about the Minneapolis cops murdering that dude, ranting and raving about how bad police have gotten. It’s... shocking. And a welcome change.
If we survive the next 7 months, this whole Trump shitshow might have been worth it just to snap some of the Fox News zombies back into the real world of sanity.
They’re lying. They stood by him as he insulted war heroes and everything else. They may see how bad it’s starting to look on the outside but they’ll still vote for him because Biden is a mask wearing pussy. Trump will still get 63 million votes. Biden will get more from the people who stayed home out of hate for Hilary and is his only chance at victory.

There it is. All looters are BLM, and none of the non-looters are BLM. What was the issue again?

I’m just observing that what is happening is 100% human, 100% predictable, and was 100% avoidable. It’s a fucking shame and a waste.
This is where I'm at with the looting. Some of them are pure opportunists who don't know or care what's going on, they're just thieves who see an opening. Fuck them, for sure. Some of them are angry at the system as a whole and think that they are getting back at the system. I don't necessarily agree, but I'm not going to run them through the mud for that mindset, because it's not entirely irrational. Some are truly hurt and grieving and this is how they are coping, and while I don't condone it, I'm not going to make any blanket judgments about their motivations or state of mind. But again, all preventable if fucking cops would do their goddamn jobs correctly and if their bosses would hold them accountable immediately and not after months of "review."

Heard good things about him, but heard even better things about incoming freshman Illingsworth. I honestly don't remember the juco guy Bullock. I just hope Sanders fixes some of his shortcomings from last year. Missing spring practice is particularly shitty for us because he needs all the practice he can get.

The only way to reduce incidents like these is to ensure that there is punishment. The only way to ensure that there is punishment is to take the punishment/review out of the hands of the police and DA. Every shooting and excessive force claim needs to be reviewed by a completely independent civilian board with the power to suspend, fire and recommend prosecution. All prosecutions should be handled by a office that is completely independent of the district attorney.
The republican mayor of Tulsa tried to create an "Office of the Independent Monitor" which was going to provide some of this outside review you're talking about, but wouldn't go nearly as far as the DA's power to prosecute or not prosecute. It really was just a board of appointed city leaders to review and make recommendations from the outside. It was a way to try and start reconciliation with a community still reeling over Terrance Crutcher's murder. It was rolling along okay, then when it became more solidified and reached city council, the FOP and the maga crowd went ballistic. Everything from "soft on crime" to straight up racist rants including the n-word. The mayor, who I generally like and support, backed down like a sad puppy.
I'll say it again. This will never change. Too few people are directly affected. Too few people have any empathy for "them," because you know the ones who are killed are criminals anyway. It truly is hopeless.

I renewed my OSU tickets to avoid losing them, but I sort of hope they do this and ask for volunteers to take this year off without losing the tickets. I just don't see how I will be confortable attending crowded events, even if cut in half. That's still 30,000 people in an enclosed space.

No way they improve the standards of recruiting. This is how they get so many to apply. Because anyone with any brain waves can apply and get through the academy. Many want to be a cop to make up for some insecurity they have. They want a badge and gun and want people to fear them. So many are moronic mouthbreathers who have very little intelligence.
What's sad is a ton of people don't make it through the academy, because they are seriously that fucking stupid, or are that fucking unstable mentally that even the cops turn them away. Those that make it are seriously kings among mental midgets.

I am legitimately shocked that a full-scale war on police hasn't broken out somewhere in this country by now. The more this shit keeps happening there is going to be an inevitable breaking point where a community just says "fuck it" and starts targeting their local police. I'm talking targeted killings of cops, molotov cocktails through your living room window at 3am, legit death threats to your wife and kids...an entire local police force scared to come outside because the people have had enough of the police failing to police themselves. and when that does happen, all we'll be able to say is, "welp, that was the most preventable/foreseeable tragedy ever." unfortunately, these types of extreme measures are often required before anyone with the power to make change actually gives a shit.
They have fucking tanks, and make no mistake that today's leaders would deploy the national guard against them with fighter jets and unlimited ammunition. Even the bazooka wielding 2A snowflakes wouldn't stand a chance, and they all "back the blue" when it comes to police executions of blacks--er, sorry "thugs". A bunch of angry, poorly armed citizens aren't going to get far with any sort of "war" in the streets. Under the current leadership, the protesters would likely be lined up and publicly executed, and 60 million voters would cheer. That's our reality and why this keeps happening and won't change any time soon, probably ever.

Thinking about this story last night, and some VERY old memories came flooding back of being a terrified kid, police shenanigans, and seeing the biggest bruises I've ever seen. I'll tell the whole story later, but it got me wondering: how many of us have either been victims of violent police abuse, or have close family members who have been?
I mean, I know most of us have stories of the police flat-out lying (I'll never forget the cop at Mopac and Enfield who insisted that he had clocked me doing 45 in a 30, and I just stared at him amazed, as I had watched my speedometer from the moment I left the stoplight, and I hadn't even hit 30 mph yet). But beyond that sort of shit -- how many of us have been touched directly by illegal police violence? I'd wager it's a lot more of us than you think. Maybe that needs its own thread.
More than one would probably think, but way too few to make any difference. Change will only happen if enough people can empathize with those who are treated so poorly by police. That number also is way too low.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man

So it's a political organization. One would expect at least half of any group of people to be of a different political view. That is concerning.
