WTF??? :down: :puke:

Ignoring your disgusting perspective on the value of a human life: Stealing is in itself not punishable by death in the US. Even if the looting person was found guilty in a trial, they would not be punished in this way.

So you are advocating that the state orders their police force to possibly kill someone or even bystanders without a proper trial?

You are advocating the dismissal of basic human rights. And then you complain about being called a nazi?

Ban this idiot.

Yeah that's pretty egregious. Shooting people for looting and rioting isn't at all acceptable.. Especially when it's occurring in a system as corrupt as the US. It's like getting upset the pot boiled over the kettle after keeping the heat up at max for far too long. There's some sketchy shit going down however like those pallets of bricks left in Houston where the protests were occuring, that's some pretty wtf shit.

given that some of the popo are already shooting bystanders with plastic rounds for no reason I'd say letting them loose with real bullets would probably be a bad idea

also @whiskey not only is death not usually a penalty for looting outside of banana republic shitholes, but also there's this thing called due process where you decide if someone's innocent or guilty and might want to look into that

The police already openly murder people in the streets. The rapes they commit inside the police departments and jails. And it's clear you value property more than human rights which tells me everything I need to know about you.

All random links I clicked on the first page of Google results for "police raping women".

People like you are quick to scream "THEY'RE ALL THUGS AND THIEVES" when most of the protesters have been peaceful and law-abiding. Yet the same doesn't go for cops, because it's always a 'bad apple' that does something wrong because all cops are wholesome, angelic beings of pure goodness and light, unaffected and uncorrupted by the military-industrial system they're trained and paid by.

Not to mention this stuff

Looks just like the black bloc dudes that burned a strategically-placed police cruiser in the Toronto G20 protests, which was the excuse the police here needed to cover their badges and crack people's skulls as they were whisked off to illegal detention cages.

Oh good... the orange POTUS is calling for military deployments to stop protests even if against the wishes of states and cities. Orange toupee lectured about the rule of law as soldiers forced back peaceful protestors and media crews so that he could do a photo op at a church. This is all about to get a whole lot worse.

That video is one of the most shocking and scary things I've seen. And on Twitter there's still people replying by saying how the protestors are bringing this down on themselves and how it's a good thing they're being forcibly removed by police. Wtf.

But in a chilling testimony, a Palestinian rights activist said that when she saw the image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Mr Floyd’s neck, she was reminded of the Israeli forces’ policing of the occupied territories.

Neta Golan, the co-founder of International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said: “When I saw the picture of killer cop Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd by leaning in on his neck with his knee as he cried for help and other cops watched, I remembered noticing when many Israeli soldiers began using this technique of leaning in on our chest and necks when we were protesting in the West Bank sometime in 2006.

That was from an event that took place last year. It's gaining traction on the news due to the lawsuit currently in progress.


On a more positive side of things, DC man shelters 60 protesters overnight in his home as they were corralled and beaten in front of his house. Also, twitter video of home owner Rahul speaking during the standoff while he provided shelter and the police requested entry (to which he refused).

I don't know if the narrative below is correct, no way for me to verify, but as been confirmed by various people.
A crowd of thousands marched up Capitol Hill after being told to go the the East Precinct. The police invited them there, and coordinated with organizers. They also blocked off all sidestreets so protesters couldn't leave if they wanted to. When the march arrived at the precinct, police officers stood with protesters and kneeled with them. Then, after they had all the photos they wanted, they began gassing and macing the still-peaceful crowd.

Also, this video of an incident at Seattle is clearly showing cops being the aggressors: https://v.redd.it/wji0npndgf251

Full length video (Facebook link).

The cops definitely swapped out the bike officers with officers in riot gear at about 26 minutes in.
