PT6A posted:What I don't understand about this whole situation is that, at this point, it seems entirely transactional and predictable in a sense: you kill or beat a Black man, especially on camera, you roll the dice and if it comes up right, then a part of your city burns. That seems, if obviously not "lawful," then at least understandable and logical. Kneeling during the national anthem doesn't do poo poo, peaceful protests don't do poo poo, so why not burn the motherfucker down? So, what perplexes me about this situation is that, speaking to these cities and police departments: if you know what the consequences are likely to be, and you do indeed care so deeply about private property as you claim, why would you put up with any police officer who showed a tendency toward the sort of action that will predictably set off a riot like this, and most especially, why would you protect them in any sense beyond making sure they don't get killed by a mob in the aftermath? Im really loving sorry but youve cracked it. Conservatives are liars. Always. Their love of oppression and racism trumps everything. They could resolve this; they dont want to.

VH4Ever posted:Wow the live video is INSIDE precinct 3. The sprinklers are on and doused the fire. Take some comfort in the fact that the water had probably been in that sprinkler system since the 70's and was more bacteria and mold than H2O at this point.

Tayter Swift posted:There's several inches of water on the floor. That building's still utterly hosed. A whole bunch of documents, equipment and electronics are now trashed. That place is now going to be a mold magnet and even if the police get right on it and get water damage people in ASAP (which might be easier said than done considering Minneapolis's mood right now) they'll be cleaning up black mold growths for months at the minimum. What the fire suppression did do was stop the fire from spreading to the armory (good for everyone nearby). What it didn't do was stop people from loving the place up. The fire suppression system itself did a lot of damage and it didn't stop whoever it was who ran in and got a bunch of uniforms to torch, or anyone else running in to loot and smash poo poo. Also, fire sprinkler water gets downright nasty after spending a few years, or decades, sitting in the pipes.

COOL CORN posted:The Oath Keepers are a far right org mostly made up of law enforcement and military folks. Maybe this guy is trying to do the opposite? in anglo saxon (and nordic cultures, for that matter) breaking an oath was one of the cardinal sins and was generally punished by death, exile, or some other really barbaric poo poo. coincidentally law enforcement is both explicitly and implicitly from that legacy down to even anglosaxon loan words like sheriff (scirgerefa, eg shire reeve) or it's some oathkeeper poo poo, idk

Funny how justice being served would stop riots from happening but still, people act like the rioters and looters are the real instigators. The internet has been a loving cesspool today. oh no. how will the target corporation ever survive. those poor heavily armed boys in blue. oh dear.

This country was founded on the idea that you can't have private property or law and order without the genocide of indigenous people and the enslavement of Black people. That's it. That's the entire thing and we've never ever turned our backs on that, not even during the civil war. You laid it out pretty well but I just really want to reinforce that there's no binary here between violence and stability in the US. They're co-constituted and if we ever want to be better then we have to break that, and all the structures that go with it, into pieces.
