HELL YEAH when people said we need Joe because he knows the system and can get things done they weren't wrong!

Someone knew exactly what they were doing when they chose that picture of the turtle because he is absolutely laughing at getting a chudge on the bench for life while still in the minority in exchange for something that will go away in 2024.

Statistically speaking I think native Americans are the most over represented demographics in the military and combat arms specifically, and reservations are almost entirely in rugged, rural regions and have an existing parallel political and police structure already set up so it seems like a bad minority for the reactionaries and state police to pick a fight with. But what do I know I don’t spend all day jerking myself raw over the 14 words like Alito or the average state trooper.

In any case it’s an outrageous insult to a group of people who’ve already put up with a lot of poo poo, it seems like the right are teeing them up to see if they take as another culture war target, I think that turd Crowder has started in on them now.

Back in April, the UK SAS & SBS received some XM556's; light weight miniguns. Vehicle mounted baby brrrrrrrtts.
Not very current news I suppose, except one thing.

I live not so far from a training area/ranges and every so often I can hear them. Usually with some .50 cal joining in.
It's amazing.

She needs to GO THE gently caress AWAY from the spotlight and enjoy her retirement as a multimillionaire. Her name is toxic and she lost to a sentient fascist orange peel. If it had been anyone but her, the Dems would've won.

I don't understand why all these rich assholes (her, Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, any older Senator or Congress person) don't retire and enjoy what few years they have left on this planet traveling the world, eating great food, drinking expensive wine, spending time with their grandkids, and just being happy. I think their brains are permanently broken. Maybe they're addicted to whatever level of power they have, and they wouldn't give it up for anything. I don't know.

Juan Williams is, as stated before, a Fox talking head. He also got fired from NPR for bigoted poo poo. Also Hillary Clinton has not expressed any desire to run again and the idea is a Republican fever dream which you can see if you're a reader of the Politoons thread where the right wing doodlers there have been going ANY DAY NOW for her resurgence for years.

Leon county school board approved their new lbgtq+ policy even though 100% of the people who came to the meeting spoke out against it.

Included in the policy is a new parental notification procedure. If any student is open about their gender identity, the school will notify every single parent of any student that is in PE or goes on any overnight field trip with them via a form letter. Bunch of bad poo poo definitely not gonna happen because of this.

On the subject of cops, I hadn't heard of this one:
"LAPD officer who died was beaten in training, mother claims
A Los Angeles police officer who died of neck injuries suffered during training had been beaten by fellow officers in an exercise meant to “simulate a mob.”"

A whistleblower?

When I went through academy there was only dogpiling a red man never each other more than one on one.
They singled him out and maliciously tried to teach him a lesson and hosed up and killed him. It’s not a stretch at all.

At least during the academy I went through any scenario that involved actually fighting the instructors there was only person who would actually fight you as well, you knew whoever was wearing the red man suit would be the roleplayer that wouldn't run or cooperate.

This was just before Michael Brown's murder lead to cops really adopting Blue Lives Matter culture war poo poo so there wasn't any rhetoric about getting murdered by antifa blm supersoldiers so probably they've gotten even dumber and less restrained in training but at best it sounds like the other cops disliked him or thought he was "weak" or whatever and basically hazed him to death like what happens in every military unit that doesn't crack down on that.
