US Anti-Police Protests and Riots Thread II

[Shrillland]

Closer and closer to the American Civil war....

I dunno, the 60s were probably more worse and violent than this and we didn’t descend into civil war then.

As hard as may be to believe, we weren't so ideologically divided then as now, nor did we have ideologically-driven media or the internet, which allowed people to retreat further into extremism rather than get along with mainstream ideals in larger numbers than ever before. Two different ideologies, like we saw in the 60s, is one thing, but two entirely different consensus realities makes this a different game altogether.

Protesters in Manhattan gather to honor a protester who was killed by police on Wednesday when he choked to death on tear gas

Many protesters are locked up in the detention center they are protesting in front of.

Storm the Bastille? Storm the Bastille!!

An NYC judge suspended habeas corpus apparently. The police are your enemies, never forget that.

Police violated a city ordinance requiring arrestees to be arraigned within 24 hours, and a judge upheld that.

The judge stated that "virtual parts" were slowing down proceedings. That being arraignment hearings held remotely.

If they're not arraigned they should of course be released. But it's not clear whether it's the cops fault they haven't been arraigned.

I hope he recovers. This is just pure madness from the cops. They should be fired

Upon?

Fetchez la vache!

The Police Are Rioting. We Need to Talk About It.

[Minimark]

This isn't a defense for the police but merely more reasons for reform. The police are being, a bit too brutal to say the least. I know because my city was trending for the first time ever for non sport reasons because of it. The only thing I can think of, other than all police being racists, are they are breaking. Being shouted at and mocked for hours on end is wearing on a person, see what happened to Kavanaugh during the accusitions. He broke. These officers are breaking and lashing out because their humans. This shows reform is necessary, but also reminds us all of them aren't racist.

and the judge effectively ruled the sixth amendment which grants the right to a speedy trial is meaningless

Bull. Federal law specifies 48 hours (or 72 hours if arrested on a weekend). This was a city law specifying 24 hours and the judge granted an exception based on special circumstances.

If the Federal law was in violation of the 6th, don't you think we'd have heard about that before?

Jamal Floyd was an Inmate not a protester.
He was gassed for refusing to come out of his cell.

The judge ruled they could be detained indefinitely which means the sixth amendment is meaningless

certainly with all the rhetoric being thrown about.

[Alt-Right Death Squads]

Why would I need to protest? the police are already shooting at people exercising their first amendment "rights". With the way things are going, President Trump will hopefully become Generalissimo Trump and do away with it all together. Protesting and free speech are absolutely unnecessary and are detrimental to political stability, national security and national efficiency.

That's a very dangerous position. Are you alt-right?

Well of he's Korean, then it's likely due to the radicalization of the south. Expect S. Korea to look more like N. Korea in the coming decade.

You're repeating yourself. So I will repeat myself: bullshit. Sheer, shameless bullshit San Lumen.

Doesn't sound like a very good reason, but at least he wasn't gassed for having the wrong surname!

So New Orleans is on the 7th Day of Protests. Everything has been peaceful so far. No rioting, property damage, etc. The only small incident was on Wednesday the 3rd when protestors tried to push their way through the police line on US Business 90 West (otherwise known as the Crescent City Connection/GNO Bridge/Mississippi River Bridge) to make their way to the Westbank Expressway and continue to march through those neighborhoods. That night, Police used teargas to force them back, and the protest broke up about 35 minutes after that incident.

I am proud of the people of my city for keeping things peaceful. I know we have had some attempts hijacking by outside influencers but the people of New Orleans have not fallen for the bait and have no looted or rioted.

[Eahland]

Which could go on for an indeterminate amount of time.

I am sure their families can take it up with the rioters.

The rioters keep tear-gassing them when they try.
