oofLAPD responds to request for assistance from business owners fending off looters, LAPD handcuffs and secures black store owners while local media yells at them.
Read their platform...your characterization there does not appear accurate. Do you have a link to wanting almost no police officers and decriminalizing 95% of crime?Campaign zero does.
Where do you think i got the 95% number from?Read their platform...your characterization there does not appear accurate. Do you have a link to wanting almost no police officers and decriminalizing 95% of crime?
Not sure because I'm saying i read it and don't see either of the things you are claiming.Where do you think i got the 95% number from?
Yeah... I just googled them as I've never heard of them before, clicked on "Solutions" and I'm not seeing anything close to what he's saying here.Not sure because I'm saying i read it and don't see either of the things you are claiming.Where do you think i got the 95% number from?

Seems like they're serious about enforcing the curfew. Just saw about helicopter footage of about 100 people handcuffed in Hollywood.Everytime I see a live shot of LA I see more people with their hands ziptied behind their backs
Looks like they ran over at least two cops. I hope someone got the license plate because it didn’t look like they were able to pursue at all with all the cops on foot.Car plowed through a line of cops in Buffalo. Unbelievable.

That’s a pretty chaotic scene for the cops just arriving on the scene. Hard to know who is who until you are able to start questioning people. Looks like some of the cops chased the looters.LAPD responds to request for assistance from business owners fending off looters, LAPD handcuffs and secures black store owners while local media yells at them.

This article has another angle that shows that the SUV came through a cloud of tear gas. This article says that at least one of the officers is at a local hospital with "serious but not life-threatening" injuries. People in the car were arrested.Looks like they ran over at least two cops.

Only 5% of all arrests made in America are for violent crimes. Meanwhile, the vast majority of arrests are for low level offenses that pose no threat to public safety. Police departments should decriminalize or de-prioritize enforcement of these issues
I mean Joe even started a thread and that is literally from the first part of their plan on the link Joe posted.Reduce police budgets in accordance with the reduction in policing that results from ending the enforcement of low-level offenses and redistribute these funds into scaling up community-based alternatives
The mayor requested the military help. Trump is threatening to force it.The Insurrection Act was used to restore order in Los Angeles the last time it was invoked. It was 1992 the last time it was used, it's not ancient history. Nobody is advocating for turning anything or anyone loose on peaceful protesters, at least anyone here that I've seen. Peaceful protest is a right. What was occurring in 1992, the looting and arson currently occurring, that's not peaceful protest. It's obviously gotten beyond the ability of local authorities to control. It can't go on unchecked and indefinite. As far as I know, the Insurrection Act has yet to be implemented by President Trump but honestly this has gone beyond what I would have thought it would have taken for him to use it.
omg that was awefulLooks like they ran over at least two cops. I hope someone got the license plate because it didn’t look like they were able to pursue at all with all the cops on foot.
This was my comment in the Handling Looters thread. Show unity and solidarity, less adversarial.THIS is how we change...A lot of looting is happening.
A lot of this type of stuff is happening too.

I believe most of us ARE on the same page. Unfortunately the peaceful protesters get lumped in with the looters and the people who are looking for violence. No one here is supporting the looting. Trump said today he was a friend of the peaceful protesters, then the DC police (or military personnel?) fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a group of them.The Justice Department has deployed all of it law enforcement components.
George Floyd condemns the people doing vandalism, tells everyone to do it a different way.
Sound like most of us are on the same page.
Conflicting stories as to whether the driver was arrested or shot and taken to hospital. You can hear the gunshots in a video from another angle.Looks like they ran over at least two cops. I hope someone got the license plate because it didn’t look like they were able to pursue at all with all the cops on foot.
Actually we are.The Justice Department has deployed all of it law enforcement components.

How did he do that? He was murdered by cops.The Justice Department has deployed all of it law enforcement components.

Amazing how many Trump fans were no where near this thread until the looting started.Amazing how many people outraged over way less violent videos skip right past this one.
This stuff makes me so angry.16 year old Austin teenager shot in the head by beanbag round while standing alone on an embankment. Spent 7 hours in surgery and will have a large permanent scar across his forehead. According to the second link, there is another 20 year old Austin resident in critical condition after being shot in the head with a beanbag round.
Reminds me of Jane Fonda way back when with the black panthers.DC resident ushers ~100 fleeing protesters into his home, refuses to let police enter to arrest them. '“I’m not letting any of these kids out of my sight,” he told me over the phone.'

One fake tweet. That pretty much proves it.https://www.yahoo.com/news/twitter-takes-down-washington-protest-230300318.html
So much for the idea its is only the radical left creating chaos....
That’s all it takes for them to run with their agenda, ignoring the obvious. Very sad.One fake tweet. That pretty much proves it.
Someone actually wrote a story about one fake tweet that got removed. We have cities burning, massive looting, violence....but no, let's write a story about a fake tweet so we can point the finger at white supremists. That is why media gets a bad rap. They deserve it.Gosh, this had never occurred to me. Hate to burst Tony’s bubble, he was so invested in blaming Antifa:

Don’t worry, on day 8 NY is setting their curfew at 8:00 so this will all be under control. Good to see them get out ahead of this.If this was a game of Civilization we'd be realizing that we messed up somewhere along the line and would be clicking "New Game".
Stop it.Someone actually wrote a story about one fake tweet that got removed. We have cities burning, massive looting, violence....but no, let's write a story about a fake tweet so we can point the finger at white supremists. That is why media gets a bad rap. They deserve it.
A year ago and it continues.much of it is fake... and there has been findings that have shown conservative groups promoting antifa on the hush-hush.
No, you stop it. It was a ridiculous story for a news organization to put out.Stop it.
That tweet was posted in this thread as proof that its antifa. The fact that it was white supremacists is news worthy of reporting.
1. Why is it ridiculous?No, you stop it. It was a ridiculous story for a news organization to put out.
It is 100 percent deflection to put 'white nationalists' in the headlines. It is ####### ridiculous in lieu of what is hapoening around the country. Their whole concern is spinning their leftwing narrative. It's a joke story. Everyone knows the internet has fake profiles.1. Why is it ridiculous?
2. Who made you the arbiter of what news is worth reporting?
Wait - so when there’s evidence that a different group with different motives is posing as ANTIFA (the group that the President made a big part of the current narrative) its not newsworthy?It is 100 percent deflection to put 'white nationalists' in the headlines. It is ####### ridiculous in lieu of what is hapoening around the country. Their whole concern is spinning their leftwing narrative. It's a joke story. Everyone knows the internet has fake profiles.
If you also criticized articles claiming Antifa is inciting violence or you also criticized the POTUS for his tweets on Antifa, then this seems fair. If not, then not.It is 100 percent deflection to put 'white nationalists' in the headlines. It is ####### ridiculous in lieu of what is hapoening around the country. Their whole concern is spinning their leftwing narrative. It's a joke story. Everyone knows the internet has fake profiles.
My contention is that making a big deal about a fake tweet is moronic. I don't care if it is the Presidrnt or the media or some poster. It proves nothing except that in a country of 350 million people there is one idiot making a stupid tweet that was rightfully removed. If you think that is a headline worthy news story while citied burn, i have no words.Wait - so when there’s evidence that a different group with different motives is posing as ANTIFA (the group that the President made a big part of the current narrative) its not newsworthy?
Or is your contention that the fake profile group aren’t white nationalists? I sincerely don’t k ow.
Exactly...everything is fake unless it supports his narrative. With the beating ANTIFA is taking in the news it is very relevant to the overall conversation.If you also criticized articles claiming Antifa is inciting violence or you also criticized the POTUS for his tweets on Antifa, then this seems fair. If not, then not.
I have said the President is an idiot on numerous occassions. 90 percent of the time he speaks.If you also criticized articles claiming Antifa is inciting violence or you also criticized the POTUS for his tweets on Antifa, then this seems fair. If not, then not.
You guys can't stay on topic. Instead you resort to making it personal. That is why discourse in this country (and this forum) goes down hill....but yeah it is my faukt for stating an opinion.Exactly...everything is fake unless it supports his narrative. With the beating ANTIFA is taking in the news it is very relevant to the overall conversation.
