Meanwhile there's also a completely seperate Police Brutality protest going on in Kentucky where 7 people have been shot. Police claim that these all came from within the crowd but there's no evidence and if we take it at face vaue, the Police answering protestors shooting other protestors by firing tear gas at the protestors seems a bad idea.
The reason I'm not so ready to believe the Kentucky Police is because here's a video of them firing rubber bullets at news teams on their own for seemingly no reason.
Atlanta:
Been following all night and this is the only person in uniform to come out of this with any credit
Here's a couple of cool photos from Minneapolis from the day before.

They have every right to riot and burn that shit hole down to the ground.
Do they? It's the same as the London Riots (except the London Riots weren't justified at all). They're attacking people and burning/looting businesses that had fuck all to do with the murder(s). They're ruining their own community.
Their rage is understandable, their response is moronic. I wouldn't condone the mass lynching of Police Officers, obviously, but if they want to actually make a point.....
Nobody wins.
They're protesting against a school Constitution that ingrains inequality with a white supremacist leading the country. The only thing they've got is protest.

The main thing about Mark Duggan is he did what Jean Charles De Menez did. He ran from visibly armed police. That's a sure fire way to get shot.
2 lines, both dumb in different ways. The cops murdered a guy and then planted a gun on him (not saying they were a-ok but 'not justified at all' is just ignorant). On the second line, are you saying that you think mass killings of the police would bring about more positive change for the community already constantly oppressed by the police?Quote:

Point 2 was not that it would lead to change. Simply that it would atleast be kicking out at the right people.
We gonna need a factcheck on this.Quote:

Isn't Amy Kloubachar from Minnesota? So there's a Dem in the senate. I think it's run by a Democratic Governor, and having double checked, the Mayor is a democrat and the city council is 12 Democrats and 1 Green Party member.
Ferguson happened under Obama and all the activists involved in that keep turning up dead in their cars and labelled a suicide. This is how America works. From slavery to Jim Crow. Put the masses in their place so they know their role.
Cops claim they shot him because he shot at them. Only bullets found were stuck in a coppers radio and the bullet was from a Police issued MP5. The gun they found on him was 15 feet away and Duggan had no evidence of gunshot residue. The polices story changed 100 times and still ended up making no sense.Quote:

They did it because he was running from the scene.
Yeah, no criminal has ever run from the police before. Makes perfect sense. Case closed.
That’s probably why they threatened to shoot the cab driver if he got out of the cab as well. They just see anyone move and it’s time to fire off some rounds.
It's more about protecting a scene at that point.
Yeah. That's why we have all these police shootings all the time.Quote:

Why is the police story so consistently inconsistent? Everyone saw 1 thing until they all definitely saw a completely different thing when confronted with evidence.
Look I know you don’t like me so you assume I’m thick but you do realise you just agreed with my point right?Quote:

No idea. Not really fussed either. Just lolling at the implication that the police are routinely shooting at anything that moves.
I know it’s early over there And you might have had a few cans last night, so I’ll just explain it to you. That was (I thought pretty obvious) sarcasm in reply to Shindig saying anyone that runs ends up riddled with bullets.Quote:

Pretty sure that's bollocks. He didn't know that he was mistakenly accused of being a terrorist and going about his day.Quote:

Despite there being some very good coppers out there, a lot of old bill don't know the rulebook and get into it for the wrong reasons. That seems to be magnified in the US.
Can't get my head around kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed man and then fucking carrying on for over two minutes after he's passed out/died. It's murder for me, Clive.
I think it's simply the fun factor. That video I saw yesterday of five coppers in London wrestling/tazing somebody to the ground is obviously a non-starter if they're likely to have a gun on them, so then everything becomes much more confrontational.
He was testing his weight.Quote:

Just watched the full video again. Nothing quite like it in terms of making your blood boil. They need to screen that shit every night before everyone is released out on the streets.
Just in case no-one saw this, Tony Yeboah turned up to support the people of Minneapolis.
Brilliant.
Columbus police just pepper sprayed their member of congress.
