Remember last year when a cnn reporter was arrested for being black near a protest and how surprising and outrageous it was that cops would be that on the nose about it?

Lol

They arrested tons of media, that was just the most blatant case.

They purposefully targeted a lot more for pepperballs or batons.

I haven't found the number for 5% but wealth for global 1% is ~$850,000 and 10% is ~$90,000.

That was more of a “Western culture is killing the planet” but like recycling or folks in rural areas who need cars it’s not personal choices that are going to save the planet.

Well maybe stop eating beef if you have the means to do so. vote with your wallet and also vote out anyone who is pro cattle subsidies.

The general animating principle of the Biden Administration right now appears to be "do popular stuff", so they might, *might* actually follow through regardless of the what the chucklefucks say. Chuddy types wanted out of Afghanistan for a while.

Literally the only people I see agitating to keep the forever war going are elected officials who get MIC money or people in the MIC. Even my local chud Facebook news comments want to bring everyone home, albeit for vastly different reasons.

During the presser the police chief walked off, was basically told by the Mayor "uh... you should be answering a lot more questions" and the police chief came back. He, the department, and the city made sure that none of the local media were in the room asking questions (because they'd ask the correct ones) and they couldn't even handle the softball versions from the national media. Whoopsiedoodles, killed another black person!

Serious question: Is it standard procedure for police to keep their firearms in condition 0 when they're working? It seems like having to actually chamber a round would be a good way to prevent a) uncool things like negligent discharges, and b) loving killing somebody with the wrong goddamn weapon.

A gun without a bullet in the chamber is just an awkward club. If you are openly carrying a firearm for defense it better be ready to go on the draw.

And let's be honest: We need to remove guns from normal police. They've proven they are incapable of having the discipline or self-control in handling a firearm.

Yeah this is true, and I heard the same thing in Iraq, but it seems like a traffic stop on an American citizen isn't exactly the same thing as a cordon and search.

This won't happen without open and concealed carry going away, and that won't stop criminals and mass shooters from breaking the law and using guns anyway, and as the response to protests nationwide have proven, when you remove lethal force from the equation and provide LEO with an abundance of less-lethal options, they use the less-lethal options to lethal extents and extremes, like braining someone with a tear gas canister at close range or purposely shooting pepperballs and rubber bullets at no-go areas.

This is a Pandora's Box that cannot be closed by one single action.
