Who are they? Where is it? What were the circumstances?

Coloured folk. US of A. Does it matter? They're heavily armed and there are no po-lice about.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Great explanation.

It doesn't really stand up to closer examination

“ The Minneapolis Police Department announced early Tuesday that the unnamed man, who is believed to be in his 40s, later died of a “medical incident” after police responded to a report of a forgery in progress on Monday.”

I’ll warn you if you’re going to watch the video it does appear that he dies right there, before they even put him on the stretcher. Absolutely horrible to watch, yet it just isn’t surprising anymore. Is there really nobody in a position to do anything about this?

Hardly on the same level but there's a charming story about a lady walking her dog of its leash threatening a black man who asked her to put her dog back on the leash as per all the signs saying you must keep your dog on a leash. He started recording her and she's basically said she was going to call the police and say an African American was threatening her life.

Yep. I saw that too. What an utter piece of shit.

You say "not on the same level", but it's quite clear the intent of the woman in that moment she makes out as if she's being attacked. Knowing this particular African-American man (or any other who happen to be in the park I suppose) may soon be pleading for their life with a Police officer on their neck is quite a handy weapon I guess.

I'm getting that she's upset her life is now "ruined" because of it. Poor woman.

Jesus, a man slowly murdered before our eyes.

That’s a total disgrace. Hopefully they are prosecuted.

A large number will be prosecuted one hopes. Though this will spill over into future lives because in addition to any criminal prosecution a good number could well lose both job and pensions, I'm not saying they shouldn't but this will ripple outwards given there's no way either the murder or the ongoing decisions by both police and GBI to ignore the murder can be ignored, or can they?

Amber Guyger got fired from the Dallas PD before being charged with, and found guilty of, murder, so there is precedent.

And unlike Guyger, these lads were caught on camera doing it.

That was hilarious!

Officer Tatum sums it up beautifully - The tale of 2 Karens.

Could you please stop posting this propaganda on here?


Thanks.

Radical anti government militia group threatens police - but it’s cool, they’re white. If they were not, well, you know what would be happening....

Yeah, imagine the reaction of the police if a bunch of black guys showed up armed with machine guns. Jesus.

Seems as though the crowds in Minneapolis protesting the murder of George Floyd are getting tear gassed now.

Not seen anything on whether they are armed or not.

I'm sure that, if they weren't, they will soon have been.

You can only tool up if you're white and want a haircut. FUBAR.

Folk,

A number of complaints have been received concerning this thread. It is locked until they are resolved.

[Sandydragon]

Thanks, Sandy. I think we’re usually happy to behave on here

[Mikey Brown]

Fuck off, you goddamned nazi.

Haha. Quality.

[gransoporro]

Can you share the complaints and the actions you took to resolve them?

I complained twice about the same poster posting racist conspiracies.

I’ve given an overview in the freedom of speech thread. If you have any other questions let me know.

Fuck off, you goddamned nazi.

I'm choosing to read this as you're no longer telling the nazi to fuck off and instead you're telling Sandy to do one. I'll stop short of noting and so say all of us, but it made I chortle.
