But it could be honestly and accurately characterized as a garage door pull rope with a looped end that looks like a noose.
And the only one out of 1,684 stalls to have it. You seem strangely invested in banging your head against this wall. I hope you make some progress in whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.
-
It seems like your issue is with the nascar folks who referred to it as a noose and set the FBI investigation in motion.

The mainstream media in this country should be ashamed of itself. Their arrogance and lack of objectivity have ruined the role of the 4th Estate is supposed to play in our democracy. Just look at how the woke mob sacked the editors at the Inquirer and NYT Op-Ed section. It is getting worse. I despise what they have done to our country. How can we have social cohesion when we have journalists with their agendas tearing at the fabric of our country. I get enraged every day I read my NYT at breakfast and have to soothe myself by reading the WSJ and their comments section where I can find my people.
Does the Financial Times have an anti-Astros bias?

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on anyone following these threads how often Brisket endlessly calls into question the validity of LE investigations, but now takes this one as gospel.
I'm questioning the validity of the officers' complaints in the first place. It gave the FOP an opportunity to bring out the old playbook, drama queen for a few minutes and reinforce the war on police narrative.
-
So the NYPD is lying about no criminality having occurred after their officers "passed out?"

You deliberately use the word weapon instead of taser to conflate it with a gun and to imply the cop was in imminent danger of deadly force from Rayshard Brooks. It wasn't, the cop knew it, he's a coward.

if only we had video evidence of this gentle man who was unarmed and nonthreatening
Well this is going nowhere. Interesting language you chose ("violent, brandishing a weapon"). You're dug in and not of a heart and mind to be convinced of anything you don't already think so I won't argue the point any further.
If those set of circumstances put that cop in fear for his life, then he's a coward. But that's been the problem for a number of years. Police training, despite being referred to as "warrior" training, has ingrained in every cop's mindset that everything/everyone is a threat and to shoot as a first resort.
Cowards with guns.

whats the response to someone whos forceful and violent, who took your weapon, and brandished it against you?
beat him on the toe with a billy club?
Maybe chase the drunk, unarmed guy who is running away from you? Perhaps that should be the first resort rather than shooting him in the back.

What about the resisting arrest, and taking of police weapon, and evading arrest... so 4 crimes in succession, each anywhere from misdemeanor to felony... should they just let him run away and sleep it off?
Which one of those is the capitol offense?

There is some fucked up shit on how our justice system treats blacks compared to whites. Really fucked up.
And then take that disparity and multiply by 5 and that’s your gender difference. No one wants to talk about that.
Well yeah. That whole racist, murderous cop thing has priority right now. Maybe next month you can start the conversation on gender equality.

Something tells me that if Minnesota asked their citizens to vote to defund/disband the police it would be overwhelmingly rejected.
This is the definition of “mob rule” and exactly what our founders warned against and tried to prevent. I’d move quickly to remove all sitting city council members. What an abuse of power.
Statewide I'm sure you are correct. I wouldn't be that confident within Minneapolis based on the culture of that police force and its relationship with the citizens. Reread Kroll's letter to his union members and tell me what your strategy would be to reform MPD absent drastic measures.

I wonder if Bob Kroll feels like talking to the press now.

Despite the contrary, you can prove a negative. You prove it with hundreds of millions of mundane, innocuous incidents YOY that go completely unreported because there is nothing to report.
The absence of video in hundreds of millions of interactions doesn't prove that all of those interactions are above board. Without the video, the Buffalo incident would have gone in the innocuous category. How do I know? The Buffalo PD told me so.

So the idea that property is more important than black lives pops up again here.
He abetted an accomplice who threw a Molotov into an unoccupied car. You say that makes him no better than the 4 cops who killed George Floyd.
You sure about that?
But not as bad as the looters who defiled Goyards.

Eventually the protests will die down but I'd say the protesters have "won" in that 1) Chauvin was arrested/charged, 2) the other three cops were charged (although taking 9 fucking days is shameful), 3) enhanced charges for Chauvin, 4) Louisville is severely curtailing no-knock warrants, and 5) many elected officials have found religion. It's up to the protesters to follow though in state/local elections and to hold them accountable.

I think that is a major problem. And the propagation is not limited to our global enemies. I should have checked who that guy was before I posted his report. He had a blue check, so I was giving it more credence than probably I should have.
Well there was also the issue that the claims made in the tweet were so preposterous that it should have merited some google/news confirmation.

I think she was referring to the looting, rioting, and anarchy outside her doorstep, not the protests in general.
Yeah my comment was responding to multiple posts up thread. She's got some really good ideas for what's "in the best interest of the protest." And coincidentally all of them align with her own self interest (win/win). Maybe if they can get organized within the boundaries of the curfew, they can put together a slide deck of best practices for the next round of spontaneous, once-in-a-generation civic unrest 30 years from now.

My issue with the looting isn't because I've heard the media talk about it (tonight was the first time I watched anything, and it was pretty even toned). I was constantly awakened by sirens and phone alerts when shit was going down near me, until I finally gave it up and got up at 5.
Further, I detest theft and vandalism. I always have. Been victim to it too many times, so it leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. This especially does because this is my neighborhood, and it is frustrating.
Oh, so you have work hours like me.
Awareness is fine, but change has to come. Awareness is not enough anymore.Anything else the protesters can do to make this more convenient for you?

Nah. What the police did was absolutely wrong. There needs to be change.
Courageous stance. Perhaps if there had been any change the last 5-6 times stuff like this was caught on video the rioting could have been avoided.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
in Daily Texan

Dallas took the opposite approach. Chief Brown introduced a policy granting a 72 hour cooling off period for the officer and allowing them to review any video footage of a shooting before making a statement.
This was after a neighbor's security camera contradicted a cop's bullshit story about what happened when he shot a mentally ill man. Both officers lied on the arrest affidavit. The surveillance footage made the news, the cop was fired and charged with aggravated assault. But the policy was justified based on a "memory expert" who said cops needed proper rest in order to accurately recall a shooting incident. The memory expert was a law enforcement consultant.
