Minneapolis protests over murder of George Floyd. Police response more severe than when white supremacists stormed capitol. (See Threadmarks to help)

id wager the protest was peaceful until the tear gas landed
Happened in Denver too, looks like the cops have decided our 1st Amendment rights aren't rights any more:
Holy shit some of you just CANNOT refuse an opportunity to 'both sides/well actually' a discussion can you?

Let me jump in here real quick.
1) This isn't the thread to be showing your sympathy to "good cops" or whatever. Read the room. People are angry, and for damn good reasons. Let them vent.
2) Let's not make things personal.

Trying to get some people together for this as well, though between the crowds and distance (crossing over from Indiana) there's a good number wanting to lean more local. Doesn't matter really where we are I suppose, though it seems the CPD are responding okay compared to the local cops, in a red area, being an unknown that I don't have a ton of confidence in.
To anyone that wants to come into a situation like this, and swear up and down that "not all cops" because they have a brother/sister/cousin/father/friend who is a cop and he/she is one of the good ones, ask yourself this. Don't even answer here, consider it rhetorical because I don't have much faith that you'll be honest anyway. If cop friend were this guy:
If he or she had been in this cops place, do you honestly think he would have turned and told his partner to get off the guys neck? By force if necessary? Do you think he would have put the life of a dying black man above his or her fraternity? Above making waves? Calling his partner out?
That is why all cops, even the ones you know, even the ones you are related to, can fuck themselves.

It caught me off guard too, and I live here. But Fort Wayne has always been terrible on race issues, so I can't be too surprised.
Fuck offff!!!!!! Fuck. off. His brother and all cops can go and fuck themselves.

Thank you. Fuck you too.
No, these aren't confusing times. Fuck outta here with your ignorance and privilege. We don't want people like you fighting for us anyway.
Sorry don't know. Downtown I assume, but I'm not familiar with down town so can't say where. Shame the stream ended.
The poster is coming into a thread about massive unrest, anger and rage being unleashed because a white police officer MURDERED a helpless black man, and decided to proclaim they felt bad for "both sides", including the cops, because he happen to be related to one.
If these are "confusing times" for you, you are part of the problem. There is nothing confusing about what is going on.
We've got a level 5 meltdown
It's a hard time for bootlickers
We really should judge people based on who they circle the wagons for.
Watching the government and police chiefs and police officers circle the wagons around uniformed murderers time and again tells us volumes. Watching the unions that force police departments to rehire problematic officers tells us volumes about them.
When these officers are rehired or unpunished, the officers they work with *get worse*. It cannot and should not be tolerated by government or unions alike.
Officers that commit these kinds of acts are poison to any and all attempts for reform. They harm all the other union members. Violence from other officers increases around them.
The response to a cancer is to cut it out. Not to deflect by saying 'not all cells'.

Taking control of the law enforcement apparatus and breaking it down.
I just saw a video on facebook where a white man is wearing a gasmask and an all black outfit went with a hammer to smash windows. This thing is quite sickening. There's attempts by some forces to create chaos.
No one needs to personally attack anyone's family member. Say ACAB. I don't know the poster and I don't know the poster' brother. This thread wasn't the place for that and they should have read the room. We could be better than personal attacks
Cops going to war tonight. Jesus every protest has tweets of cops shoving and shooting pepper and horse trampling.
fucking cops man
fucking cops man
Thread is about 4 cops murdering a black citizen pleading for his life in cold blood for almost 10 minutes, how riots needed to happen across the country just to get the dude arrested let alone indicted, the 3 other murderers are still free and basically every page has a new cop violating someone else's rights while we see police departments, leaders and unions misrepresent the situation constantly and y'all are mad at both sides
Unbelievable
Only one side has the state behind them

If the 'fire suppression' system is setting things on fire, you shut it off.
