Are you seriously going to pretend you've never witnessed a racist utterance from any Trump supporters on this forum? I find that staggeringly dishonest

I’m not sure if she’s being deliberately obtuse or is just naturally so. It’s been explained to her multiple times that racist posts get removed yet still expects to see them as evidence.

Trump aides despondent over Buffalo protester tweet

1591784049114.jpg



My phone blew up yesterday with texts from White House aides, current and former, who seemed at their wits' end over President Trump's tweet that the 75-year-old Buffalo protester who was rushed to the hospital after being shoved by police last week "could be an ANTIFA provocateur."

Why it matters: They rarely register the president's tweets anymore — let alone complain about them. This one felt different.

  • Here was Trump — struggling in the polls, damaged with independents and women who hate his tone — trafficking in a bizarre conspiracy that he had seen on the right-wing OANN cable network to excuse a blatant example of police misconduct.
  • All this on the morning of George Floyd's funeral.
The context: POTUS aides and the campaign had constructed this week around getting Trump into the conversation around rebuilding/recovering, listening to ideas about police reform, etc.

  • One former aide remarked that it's tweets like this that make him wonder whether Trump actually wants to get re-elected.

This is the type of rhetoric that is going to get this cop off the hook.

The guy is guilty of manslaughter. Proving there was intent to kill him is going to be interesting.

Data that has been deleted.

More logic.

Even the example I posted was deleted. The example that wasn’t racist. I guess I should keep a folder of all the racist screenshots.

Good day.

Isn't Chicago generally violent? Or is that Detroit?

They both are very violent. You won't understand the levels of violence in these areas as this is not a public issue, so media does not push it. When policing is stretched or reduced, crime spikes. You would think these issues would be front and center for organisations like BLM, but they are not. Instead, they push these racial narratives that drive more hate, which perpetuates these cycles even more.

Video shows white men in N.J. mocking George Floyd's death at protest
“Mocking George Floyd’s murder in effort to belittle the calls for justice from our Black and Brown communities is repugnant,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said in a statement.

A New Jersey corrections officer has been suspended and a FedEx worker fired after a video showed the two men, who are both white, mocking George Floyd’s death at a protest.

As Black Lives Matters protesters marched in Franklin Township, a town of about 16,400 in South Jersey, on Monday, they were met by a small group of white counterprotesters who displayed a Trump 2020 flag, an “all lives matter” sign and a “thin blue line” flag. Video shows one of the men laying face down on the ground with another man's knee on his neck, recreating the way George Floyd, a black man, was pinned down by a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, prior to his death in custody.


"It automatically brought me to tears," Daryan Fennal, a local organizer of the protest, told NBC Philadelphia. “The display yesterday showed me that racism is real, racism is alive, it's right next door to you."

Video posted on social media shows one of the men, whose names have not been released, shouting, "Comply with the cops and this wouldn't happen."

In response to the incident, the New Jersey Department of Corrections revealed that one of the counterprotesters mocking Floyd was an employee.

“We have been made aware that one of our officers participated in the filming of a hateful and disappointing video that mocked the killing of George Floyd,” the department said in a statement posted on social media. “The individual has been suspended and banned from NJDOC facilities pending a thorough and expedited investigation.”

FedEx said the other person involved in the incident was one of their employees who has since been fired.

“We do not tolerate the kind of appalling and offensive behavior depicted in this video,” the company said in a statement to NBC News on Wednesday. “The individual involved is no longer employed by FedEx.”

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also condemned the counterprotesters.

“Mocking George Floyd’s murder in effort to belittle the calls for justice from our Black and Brown communities is repugnant,” the governor said on Twitter. “We won’t let the actions of a few distract from our progress toward dismantling systemic racism.”
