Dr Pepper posted:Why on earth does it seem like the default course of action for a cop is "Draw gun, scream at person" Because if that officer had only screamed at the mentally ill man going towards his pick-up truck he would not have gotten out a rifle and made the cop be the one to scream for another reason.

semper wifi posted:Shooting itself looks legit to me but I question how exactly he got his hands on someone's gun considering there was no reason for the cops to have a gun drawn during that fight. Countdown to someone posting about how brawling with the cops is a normal everyday occurrence and totally not relevant to the shooting, though. You already set off the countdown, you do not have a right to set a new one.

axeil posted:This is why it's a dogwhistle. No one actually thinks burning buildings down and looting is good but when it's all anyone talks about and they use it as a means to discredit a protest, well, it's hard to think they're really upset about the looting and instead are just looking for a convenient way to dismiss the grievances of the protesters. Remember that people utilized slashing car tires to discredit OWS, and you know not the litany of actual issues with the movement.

If it was still peaceful protests, they'd just push celeb gossip more or something. When this literally happened, CNN media director claimed that people will find out about it the following day. They were there within seconds they heard blacks were looting and possibly threatening to whites.

Like the mother Jones article is obviously poo poo but since it agrees with their pre conceived ideas their brains just shut down. You realize once you go to this step in your process, it signals defeat? Proper edit: Nowhere has anybody tried to just outright shut down arguments with regard to criminality committed by rioters in this thread. ThugDrink was probated. At this point the anger arises from the perception that an investigation into what happened, is not occurring. But BPD can't be that stupid, I'm sure they are investigating it. They simply refuse to indicate that it is occurring, because there is a disconnect between what the city government feels is worth mentioning to its citizens and what citizens on the streets and at home feel they should be told.

Solvency posted:This doesn't get said enough in D&D threads, but I wanted to thank most of you here for changing my thinking on the cause of riots, and what exactly can be inferred from them. I hadn't even considered the Boston Tea Party as a riot before, and hadn't really pieced together that riots are just a symptom of larger issues that plague communities, and not only people looking to get free stuff, or anarchists looking to cause trouble. I currently feel the status-quo with regard to punishing posters is fine, differing perception can be called out on its own, without somebody needing to lose access to the whole place. but yes, I am guilty of what you state here as well, so gently caress me too (jokingly).

for an internet forum. Seriously, there has to be some better outlet for your anger than calling each other racists, cop sympathizers, leftists, riot lovers or whatever. If you would just appeal to the mods for help, I'm sure they would be benevolent and work with this community to remove those who are causing trouble. Don't you all realize your back and forth quips make the Debate and Discussion sub-forum look like a bunch of children?
