George Floyd death

Let's take out the unions. Seems like they are the ones keeping these dirty cops around.

How Police Unions and Arbitrators Keep Abusive Cops on the Street

Officers fired for misconduct often appeal the decision and get reinstated by obscure judges in secretive proceedings.

Police Unions and the Problem of Police Misconduct (Updated)

The available evidence suggests that police unions are a major obstacle to holding rogue police officers accountable.

This seems like a good place to start. And should be an easy compromise, hey @OrbitalDawn?

Yeah, definitely. They don't operate like labour unions, legally or operationally - so the title is a misnomer anyway.

And btw, I think unaccountable/lawless police is a bipartisan problem. In large part because they're very strong political lobbyists, so no one crosses them if they want to win elections. As I pointed out above, when someone does try to reform, their wards/constituencies get deliberate slow-walking by the police, so that crime gets worse.

Part of the problem is this stuff happens on the local level, so little visibility. That's why the consent decrees that Obama's DOJ implemented were really good. Local politically connected corrupt cops/unions can't do anything to federal government oversight. Then Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr took it away and removed all reform efforts. Infuriating.

The White House twitter account accusing a Jewish Centre of being an Antifa supply depot is a bit on the nose.

James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution

In an extraordinary condemnation, the former defense secretary backs protesters and says the president is trying to turn Americans against one another.

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis condemned President Trump for his handling of the protests over George Floyd’s death in a fiery statement released Wednesday.

“I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled,” Mattis wrote in a statement to The Atlantic.

“The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers,” he added.

Mattis went on to slam Trump as trying to divide the American public.

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try,” he wrote.

A few Republicans speak out

@realDonaldTrump is no longer hiding that he’s a brazen authoritarian, so desiring of control and power that he’s willing to turn our once peaceful cities into war zones.

Seems the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff felt it necessary to remind the US military that their oath is to the Constitution.

Prosecutors: 3 men plotted to terrorize Vegas protests

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Three Nevada men with ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in what authorities say was a conspiracy to spark violence during recent protests in Las Vegas.

"Three Nevada men with ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in what authorities say was a conspiracy to spark violence during recent protests in Las Vegas.

...

More recently, they sought to capitalize on protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis after a white officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air, prosecutors said.

The three men were arrested Saturday on the way to a protest in downtown Las Vegas after filling gas cans at a parking lot and making Molotov cocktails in glass bottles, according to a copy of the criminal complaint."

"Revolutionary justice will be determined by those who are oppressed".

Whites are at the bottom of that ladder. People need to start waking up.

The worse kind of communism. That of a 5 year old who never experienced life at all and want to decide how everyone else should live.

Amazing how much difference a day makes in these times with fast moving news cycles.

On Tuesday I was told that its only the left who is responsible. Period!

My suggestion that there would be right wing supremacist types infiltrating the protests and also causing violence, because that's what they have been saying they want to do for years, was dismissed as a "conspiracy theory".

No idea. I didn’t go through his shyte walls in detail. Maybe he can summarize his shyte later so we can make sense of it.
