Nothing screams "loser" louder than parading around with a status symbol on your arm - that you stole from a store.

You are just an intolerant bigot and hater of "losers" and "joggers". Expect to be shipped off to re-education school where these intolerant dog whistles will be treated.

What change was ushered in with the previous police brutality instances?

Philando Castile, nope.
Alton Sterling, nope.
Freddie Gray, nope.
Eric Garner, nope.
Michael Brown, nope.
Rodney King, nope...

... Well, hell Randhir, looks like we need to go back to the 1968 protests after MLK's murder for *any* movement on civil rights and social justice.
 
It is quite funny to see the usual crowd that promote discrimination based on race aka the "decent people" play the race game again.

For all we know this police officer was practicing anti-racism and doing exactly what the "decent people" promote... i.e. the officer discriminated based on race.

Now this is just stupid. Do you understand the meaning of freedom or do you have freedom to murder someone as long as you face the consequences thereof.

So you think you should be allowed to call your boss a d**s to his face because "Freedom of speech"?

Ah, our local right winger who is apparently against authoritarianism but loves it when the police lock up journalists.

Of course! That is how you can fire stupid employees. Promote freedom and those that cannot handle freedom get rekt.

Don't mind him. He has spent the last 2 days dropping his troll bait all over and had no bites yet.
Just ignore and let him carry on. He is good for a laugh.

The new media narrative being peddled is that "white supremacists" have infiltrated the social justice warriors and doing damage.

Is there nothing these "white supremacists" can't do? I am beginning to think Fake News media want to paint these "white supremacists" as ..... supreme.

Now that I think about it, probably the best way to get these partisan race hustling trolls to fight the good fight against the shitty financial system is to say that the financial system is actually run by white supremacists. Booo!
 
Interesting from the legal point of view:

But the police in fact enjoy a degree of legal protection, from a doctrine known as “qualified immunity.”

Federal law gives Americans the right to sue government officials who violate their constitutional rights. But in Pierson v Ray, decided in 1967, the Supreme Court held that public officials who commit “good faith” rights violations are entitled to “qualified immunity”, intended to shield them against frivolous lawsuits.

As the Supreme Court explained in 2015, that means that government employees cannot be sued for actions undertaken in the course of their duties, “so long as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known”. That sounds sensible enough—but over time the “clearly established” part of the doctrine has almost completely subsumed the “reasonable person” part.

For instance, on September 10th 2013 police officers in Fresno, California searched the homes and business of two men suspected of running an illegal gambling operation. The men allege that police seized $151,380 in cash and another $125,000 worth of rare coins—but only reported taking $50,000, and pocketed the rest. The men sued, but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case.

The court held that it need not determine whether the men’s constitutional rights had been violated—ie, in this case whether the officers actually had stolen the property in question, which would have breached the Fourth Amendment, which promises protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. Because “there was no clearly established law holding that officers violate the Fourth or Fourteenth Amendment when they steal property that is seized pursuant to a warrant”, the two men were not entitled to relief (though the court noted, near the end of its brief ruling, “we sympathise with the Appellants”).

Or consider the case of Malaika Brooks, who was seven months pregnant, and whom police dragged from her car in front of her 11-year-old son, and tasered three times in less than a minute—because she declined to sign a traffic ticket. A panel of federal judges ruled that even though Ms Brooks’s violation--driving 12 miles per hour over the speed limit—was “not serious,” and she did not pose “even a potential threat” to anyone’s safety, the officers’ actions did not violate “clearly established” law. Small wonder that Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court’s most ardent Fourth Amendment champion, called qualified immunity, as most courts have come to interpret it, “an absolute shield for law-enforcement officers, gutting the deterrent effect of the Fourth Amendment.”

Why the prosecution of a Minneapolis police officer is such a rarity

The doctrine of “qualified immunity” too often gives police miscreants a free pass

The looters in the videos I have seen belong to all race groups, as do the victims of the looters.
The people cleaning up the mess also belong to all race groups.

What about the Goyim? You haven't mentioned them for a while, I'm worried about you.
