Trump won't condemn it and neither will Republicans in Congress. If I was Mayor or Governor I certainly would condemn it.

The police showed its true colors the last few days. What more the armed forces? You will not have your bloody glory if you're dead, in jail, or cowed. Flee. Flee. Flee.

Then I will be a martyr if necessary. I despise defeatism when it gives way to the worst kind of statism.

Police kill people intentionally though, like George Floyd.

And when they arent killing people, they're busy shooting rubber bullets at people out on the porch.

I would hesitate to ascribe intent without proof thereof.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said De Blasio's remarks on a police officer ramming a crowd were totally unacceptable and such actions should never be normalized or justified in any way.


Even if you're not a fan of AOC, the broken clock metaphor works, and in this case, she's completely right.

Defending and making excuses for NYPD running SUVs into crowds was wrong.


What does that say about De Blasio's intelligence, if AOC has to explain that to him? Damn cops, you just made me agree with Lumen.

The episode showed a crowd of protesters placing a barrier in front of one police vehicle as others threw what appeared to be water bottles at the car. A second NYPD cruiser then begins gradually moving through the crowd before the other abruptly accelerates, causing several people to fall to the pavement.


I'm just curious, are police cars not equipped with the reverse gear function?

Your more mad about your left wing boogeyman and a target burning down than you are about police murdering a man, shooting rubber bullets at civilians and reporters and laying siege to a peaceful memorial.

Your priorities are fucked up.


The distraction from George Floyd who asked for help and then died for it is one of the most convenient substitutions I have ever encountered. People have valued the life of that man worth next to nothing, but do anything else, and then we may have your attention.

I really wish Britain wouldn’t import American cultural and racial issues - we have our own to fix, we can’t fix the ones of a nation that involve centuries of oppression and segregation. (Inb4 British Empire - as I’m referring to the UK mainland).

Like that protest today - protestors chanting “don’t kill us” at unarmed UK cops... who proceeded, in true cop fashion to do... nothing? I mean, it’s a protest in solidarity for George Floyd - but police in Manchester and the Met didn’t murder him. Then there’s the Mark Duggan shit. Gross. I have to say I also loved the idiots asking cops at Downing Street about who did they “serve and protect”? Ah yes, that American police motto - obviously used by British police too apparently.

I swear some people in the UK think we’re an American state - they wouldn’t protest if this killing occurred in Australia or Canada. As they don’t seem Britain’s issues to be similar to theirs.

Props to themselves and the cops for not starting shit though. That’s the good news. I just hope London and Manchester don’t get a 2nd Covid-19 wave thanks to this. It’ll effect the BAME members of the protest horrifically - and we don’t know why they’re dying so much in comparison to whites and East Asians anyway.

While my sig is mostly jest, and I do not want to harm those who are tankies, let me say this: If you’re the type to talk about “fash” or “bashing the fash” yet refuse to criticise the crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, then you need to take a long, hard fucking look at yourself. Because you ARE the thing you want to “bash”, even if you dress it up in a different skin.
