Freedom Town: Aesthetic and Recreational Lawn Alternative
- Thread starter BASEDVATO
- Start date
I do find myself falling into that mentality of "not all cops are bad" and "Just a small amount of incidents among a small amount of officers making everyone else look bad", but then I read shit in the newspaper like this :
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattl...ess-leaves-troubled-officers-with-their-guns/
and its just mind boggling. some of the protections police have are ridiculous and there needs to be some reform absolutely. the whole us-vs-them stuff going on though is ridiculous and you can't suggest to people that we should take a second to slow down and start looking for solutions or you're immediately labeled part of the problem and a racist, it's amazing

i dont know i watched a youtube video and it sounded like they said drop the knife, and someone linked a screen shot of what kind of might have been a curved looking knife in his hand. but to be honest i was pretty buzzed and didnt look past that first glance and im not going to look into it deeper lol
I agree that defunding is retarded, but there needs to be other independent parties looking in, not just IA or w/e the fuck they have now cause it isn't working.
And let's be honest, a lot of these pigs are cops for the power trip

You can't poke at people for decades and not expect them to lash out. Revolutions against corrupt over policing has been a thing since the dawn of time.
If people don't lash out, the police stay the same. If people didn't riot a couple months ago, the cops that killed George Floyd would have never been charged.
If cops are completely unwilling to cross the thin blue line, declaring open war with cops might be the only thing to spark change. Sticking with the status quo of just complaining every time cops murder somebody or plant drugs on somebody or give beatings to people just walking down the street clearly wasn't working.
Even if rioting and declaring open war on the police doesn't work, it's something new.
As far as defunding, I think it depends on what city and what department. Some departments in this country have been extremely overfunded for a long time, while I'm sure there's some that have been underfunded. When I see departments in non violent cities rolling around in Army MRAPs and HMMWV's with a fully equipment armory of M-16's and M4's, it makes me think maybe they don't need as much funding.

people definitely have the right to protest and be angry about things. but mob justice can be extremely dangerous. for instance when that guy got shot for shooting at police in chicago and a bunch of people jumped on social media and also through word of mouth spread the lie that "an unarmed kid got killed by the police for no reason" then decided to loot all the gucci and louis vuitton stores lol.
and it's just so disjointed and basically just anarchy
the whole spirit of the thing gets hijacked by other elements and motivations. and change is slow, demanding immediate change and immediate reform isnt going to do much except create more problems. but all your points are valid and i pretty much agree with everything

a lot of aborigines were killed by cops in custody here, it was pretty bad

A lot of the retards out there only looting stores are being arrested and catching charges. A bunch of them Chicago retards caught felonies.
Out here when the mall in Scottsdale got looted a couple months ago, the one that Jake Paul was at, the cops went on an arresting spree.
The fakes who want to hijack people's cause solely to loot are fucking their lives up. Karma getting them I guess.

Just saw the last couple of pages. People are actually defending that kid that shot those people?
Kid drove across state line with an illegal firearm. He committed multiple felonies solely by even being there.
Where is this same "he was a criminal" mentality people have when black people get shot by cops?

He was in the middle of committing the crime. Gotta finish the crime before you get warrants out for it. He's a white kid though, it just got exposed that the cops were coordinating with the militia. If you're white 17 year old and committing felonies, the cops will work with you, and even allow you to walk away and drive yourself home after you shoot people and not even question you until hours later, meanwhile if you're black with warrants they'll shoot you in the back lol

He's from Illinois where the legal age to possess and own a firearm is 21...he's 17. That would be criminal possession of a firearm. He then transported said illegal firearm across state lines to Wisconsin, transporting illegal firearms across state lines is a felony. In Wisconsin anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed to open carry a firearm, it's a class A misdemeanor.
Logic would dictate if he wasn't out with a firearm he wasn't legally able to possess with the sole purpose of travelling to another city to get into altercations, he would have never been in a situation where he had to use his illegally possessed firearm, hence the reason he's being charged with homicide.

and to answer your question on why would they have stopped him? Because he fucking shot people lol he literally walked up to the cops after he shot people and the cops didn't care. Generally in the United States, even if you're in the right, if you shoot people an investigation happens, your firearm is temporarily subdued, and you at the very least answer questions. This kid shot people, walked right past police, got in his car, drove home, and went to bed.

Speaking of criminals with warrants. Portland police allowed a Proud Boys member with warrants who tampered with his ankle bracelet to participate in a Proud Boys rally, because they didn't want to cause a scene by arresting him. 30 cops at the rally and they just said "fuck it". 5 days later he's still not in custody lol
