Running racism in America thread

Maybe it has been targeted, but if I was leading a protest/riot in NYC, Trump Tower would have been at the top of my list.

 

See dumbassery chapter 937.

A (local) deputy has been fired over a remark made on Facebook over the weekend.
In the remark, (he) stated that “open fire should have been issued on anyone participating” in the Minneapolis riots.
“Officers must regard the discharge of their duties as a public trust and recognize their responsibilities as a public servant. Even while off-duty, officers must be mindful of their conduct in private life, how that conduct reflects on the Sheriff’s Office and how it can damage the trust of the community.”
According to the sheriff’s office, (the deputy) was initially suspended over the remark, but after additional review, it was determined that stronger disciplinary action was warranted.

 

Nor I. But sports journalists believe he and other coaches need to speak up and, when they do, say the right things.

Which is why you get fancy designs on Twitter with SID-crafted words on them.

Dabo does an interview - which is far riskier - and gets blasted for it.

 

he was pretty vocal about Kaepernick, so here we are

 

Trump will resign before he loses in November.

 

Meh. It's not ridiculous to expect a man that makes millions and millions of dollars, mostly on the backs of black football players, to see the injustice they face on a daily basis and be able to put those observations into words. Instead, all he can muster is a word salad of religion and sin. That doesn't help anyone and it's not wrong to call that out. Dabo isn't a private citizen. He's probably the highest paid government employee in SC.

 

Idiots fail to recognize that terrorizing journalists (or any group) will only impassion them to do more and for more to join the cause.

 

And used weapons to clear people from the front of the church.

 

They forced clergy off church property!

Ahead of Trump Bible photo op, police forcibly expel priest from St. John's church near White House

 

Dabo said Black Lives Matter needed to “find another country to live in.” So he lit the flame years ago so I’m happier than hell to check in and see how the house fire is going.

 

I was in the Navy when the Tailhook scandal happened. It was an isolated incident involving a handful of individuals.
In the aftermath, the entire U.S. Navy did a multi-day stand down for training, evaluations, etc.
When this is over, that needs to happen when this is over with ever cop in the country from NYC to the Petticoat Junction PD. It doesn't need to be internally led. Some kind of oversight group needs to lead it and make enforceable recommendations. I have drank beer with our local Chief of Police, and I went to high school with our Sheriff. I really don't think either one of them would intentionally leave some rogue officer on the street, but I also doubt either of them would take it as seriously as need be.
