Sorry for the Tweet dump, but I really can't emphasize just how bad the situation in Minneapolis is right now. This is absolutely horrific.

Yep. This is all happening completely without any procedure, by the way. Nobody in the city government authorized this response. The cops showed up and started firing marker rounds and tear gas. No order to disperse, no warning, just drove up and opened fire like gangland enforcers.

Yep. No protocol, no warnings, nothing. Perhaps the only thing keeping them from behaving exactly like an invading army is that they didn't start off by using live rounds.


It really puts things in perspective, doesn't it? Open conflict between a police department gone rogue and protestors is underway in Minneapolis, and we're getting more information on how our President is super upset with Twitter. What an absolute disgrace.


Ah, gently caress.

I'd say that this is a threshold moment. They have gone rogue after being recorded murdering somebody and are currently attacking peaceful protestors. If there isn't an overwhelming response of some kind, it effectively legitimizes police forces as forces with no oversight or reason to be beholden to the citizens they're meant to protect.

I figured as much, I didn't read any of it, it looks like someone just went around to mailboxes and put them in since it didn't even have an address on it, just some code. which is also weird and creepy in a different way.

You should report this to postal inspectors, it’s a federal crime and they take it seriously. Stuffing mailboxes might prevent people from getting important mail.

The odds are this was delivered by USPS. It's bad enough when I have to deliver them to subscribers, but one time the station got them bundled to go to every customer which is probably what happened here, hence the no address. Everyone was pissed that we had to carry pounds of loving newspaper, regardless of the dumb poo poo it is.

I wonder how often companies write the scripts for stories that appear on the news about them. It has to be almost always, right? That's the worst option so that means it's the correct option

I worked in the news for decades, and almost everything on local news aside from local fires and car crashes are press releases from corporations or from the network (also mostly press releases too).

Reminder that cops are cool with their fash buddies screaming in their faces and will hardly blink but the second you come out to protest the brazen murder of a black man, well, then it's just huntin' season for them.

I don't know if you remember Tony Spell, a preacher who got in trouble for holding church services at the beginning of the pandemic. Well, The Advocate wrote a really good article on him, and there's a few choice quotes in there that even had me going :aaa:.

Lol, I wasn't aware SNAP covered church services

quote:

There's a few more, but drat, that first one got me. When I was going to church regularly when I was young, every church that I ever visited had an attitude of "Come in as you are, we welcome you all". I know churches have bills to pay, but I've never seen it told by a preacher as “You’re not going to come up in here and suck up our air conditioning for free without paying for it."

That's because this guy is a "man of god" as much as that oil stain in the parking lot is the Mona Lisa

Have we gotten any official statements or coverage about what's happening in Minneapolis? I mean, anything at all? The complete lack of action is seriously making this feel like a waking nightmare.

Too bad the folks protesting police brutality and, like, 1000 other economic and social justice-adjacent issues unilaterally disarmed themselves decades ago, while the assholes who show their masculinity and rugged individualism by getting other people sick, have been spending all their expendable income on firearms during those same decades.

Yeah, it's not the lack of firearms, my dude. It's that the cops side with the armed gun psychos. They don't side with people protesting cops abusing their powers. Amazing introspect I know.

Bringing a gun to a protest against police brutality is just screaming to the cops "GAME ON, FUCKERS!"
