I was watching a live feed last night/this morning from the streets of Minneapolis, and I must say it was some of the craziest shit I’ve seen my entire life. That part of the city is absolutely destroyed. Lots of folks were interviewed over the five or so hours I watched, and most people seemed level and decent, out to legitimately protest, but there was of course a vocal minority that were out just to cause destruction because they could. I think the National Guard finally showed up around 4:30 est and the live feed I watched ended just after 5, so I didn’t get to see what it was like when the sun came up. When Trump tweeted that insane “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” comment last night, people were reacting to it VERY strongly. Like, right after that tweet, the rioting got at least twice as bad as it had been.
I really can’t believe the times we’re in... when the covid shutdowns started and unemployment spiked, I knew rioting was inevitable by some point, whether just due to general unrest, or directly speared by something like the George Floyd situation. Just, I didn’t expect it this soon or this destructive.
Sometimes the streets talk back. We put up with a lot of shit, but you went to far. I have the choice of quoting MDC Millions of Dead Cops e.g.. ...brutality is their sport let’s put em to the torch...time for a switch, army of the rich, macho fucking slaves, we’ll piss on your graves, dead cops dead cops dead cops dead cops. Or maybe Cop Killer covered by Soundgarden? If not that Bossie Badazz
Everyone wants to quote NWA, but there's plenty more solid shit out there:

Headley, who was chief of police in Miami for 20 years, said that law enforcement was going after “young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. ... We don't mind being accused of police brutality."
Miami hadn't faced "racial disturbances and looting," Headley added, because he let word filter down that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts”

On cue, the administration has started the gaslighting of how trump's tweet actually was the opposite of inciting violence. Apparently, we once again just don't get what he's saying because we hate him. Also, they've started a train of "what about these tweets? Why didn't they get flagged for inciting violence?" Suddenly, they give two fucks about Twitter's TOS.
So y'all leaving WHO, what's next.. NATO? Ffs, I wish someone could just step in and make every single thing Trump has done over the past idk how long already undone.

He’s also thrown Hong Kong under the bus. I’m not sure if he is seeing how much he can fuck shit up before we kick his ass out or what. Buts he’s doing an bang up job.

So "underlying health issue" is just the go-to excuse now for the right. Eric Garner had issues that caused his death....not the chokehold the cops had. It's not Covid that's leading to deaths....just underlying health issues. Now it's the same thing for Floyd despite having a knee on his neck for 9 minutes.
So fucked. I truly don't understand how people can see this and think it's a rational explanation.

The narrative is being carried on CNN as well, with very little push back. It wouldn't work the way it does without the media and liberals being complacent. Black folks are always dissected and found to be at fault for something. Insinuation for days until the majority of dumbfucks in this country start thinking the victim brought it on themselves.
This shit is so infuriating. I've seen people strait up blame Trump and act like the things that happened in Minnesota are directly tied to him. Or the getting rid of him is some remedy. So many people just need to shut the entire fuck up.
Trump is just a symptom of what's wrong with our country
Simply having Biden in office isn't going to make everything better overnight. There's a lot of underlying shit we need to deal with too.
Yes and no. I think having leadership that holds people accountable for their actions and don’t actively give platform to far right wing conspiracies can change things. Having POTUS say boldfaced lies makes it seem normal to believe. If they don’t have the platform they do now, they can’t spread lies the way they do now

It's fucking axing how predictable this playbook is and that the "liberal media" plays their shitty part.
"any potential intoxicants"
Bunch of fucks.
Someone showed me that on social media a while ago. There’s no way a news organization is going to say that. It appeared to me like a quote from an autopsy or official police report or something. Idk for sure so I’m just guessing, but there’s literally no way that’s a news report.
Nevertheless their building was under attack a while ago. Sucks to be them I guess, but they’d deserve it more if I was wrong.

Nobody is claiming it's coming directly from the news. lol
The problem is the media fetishism with reporting "both sides." Therefore they blast these horseshit narratives that give cover to the pigs. It happens constantly.
Shit's going off all over the country. Mpls, Louisville, DC, Detroit, Atlanta, NYC, Denver, among others. Cop cars getting torched, people blocking highways. People are just sick of this shit.

The context which I first saw it was fuck CNN for saying that shit. But if they were reporting what the official police or coroner's report or whatever this is said, I think you want to know that information to be able to call bullshit on it. I don't really see this as a cover for the swine, but I didn't watch it on tv - only saw the screen shot of the quote. That's why I was guessing. (I know they do the both sides shit, I'm not trying to defend or absolve them from that). It seemed to me that you were directly blaming CNN for the report when you referred to the liberal media as playing its part. Then Dave said bunch of fucks. That left me wondering if I was missing something or if y'all were shooting the messenger - not that they don't deserve their fair share of broken glass.

my comment assumed people understood what you are saying because it's pretty basic stuff
Not that what I'm saying is complicated either. It just seems to needs repeating over and over.
I get all that for sure. I’d probably tag that bitch too if I was there. I just don’t wonder if whoever actually was quoted in that caption doesn’t deserve an extra kick though.
