Radbot posted:I think it's mostly "gently caress authority" thinking. Kinda sad that that's the moral and ethical way to think so often these days in America. Typical Pubbie posted:Or maybe anon is a catch-all term for a diverse group of people who's demographics and political beliefs aren't limited to /pol/? How about we agree on "both are fair presumptions that can't be disproven, and attempting to weigh which one is more applicable would be really loving hard to find evidence for" and not go into some pissing match when everyone is on the same side here?

These dudes have better equipment than my battalion did in 2009 while gearing up for a deployment, and it seems like they have less stringent of a SOP regarding engagement with civilians than we did too.

A Winner is Jew posted:I can't believe I'm about to say good things about anon, but their insistence about getting laws passed to reduce police shooting minorities in response to this is shocking considering the majority of them are white males coming from middle class families, especially since I would imagine a decent percent of them throw ironic racism around constantly on chans and game comms. Imagine the GBS-D&D split being reflected across all of Something Awful, and that's what 4chan is at the moment.

When you consider how small Ferguson is it's even scarier that they have so much military equipment on hand... (or did some of it come from neighboring counties?)

I think those above photos are the Sheriff department, IIRC. Edit: Also, Furgeson police cars, in 2014, still do not have on-board cameras. No dash-cams. In 2014. Chinatown fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 13, 2014 |

If you're not following Alderman Antonio French's twitter, you should do so (@AntonioFrench). He's posting tons of vines of whatever's going on in Ferguson right now. Lots of chanting "hands up, don't shoot" and "no justice, no peace" right now. Edit: Police deploying to face demonstrators now. It's all on his twitter timeline right now in progressing 6 second increments.

Is it just me or are these "black kid dies due to cop , black community pissed" riots getting more severe. If not on the protestor side then on the police response side? I feel like these shootings are too close together to simply pass from public conscience.

If the protestor side isn't getting worse, the response side sure is because it's looking more and more like the police really want an all-out war.

I know people like to cherry pick quotes from tea party types and moan about how white America would cheer on a race war, but I think there's a line the police can't cross without America taking notice/recoiling in horror.

My favorite video so far is this vine showing a cop pointing his rifle at the cameraman. The cameraman is a St. Louis Alderman. Did someone say Michael was "probably" going to be character assassinated? Hahaha, this is AMERICA, comrade! Here's some bullshit about him that I've seen on Facebook: This is being passed around as being the criminal record that the mainstream media is suppressing: quote:Description: Burglary - 1st Degree { Felony B RSMo: 569.160 } He had a soundcloud. Look forward to his lyrics being forwarded to you by your uncle as proof that he was a hardened urban thug. Furthermore, his profile picture is him wearing a red shirt (the color of the BLOODS) and flashing a gang sign. Gobbeldygook fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Aug 13, 2014 |

I feel like these shootings are too close together to simply pass from public conscience. A black man is killed by police in the US every 28 hours http://www.occupy.com/article/black-man-killed-us-every-28-hours-police That image is missing the shooting of a black man by an off-duty cop in Dallas (I think), and the shooting of an unarmed black man in LA by the highway patrol, and the brutal beating of a homeless black woman in LA by a cop for what amounts to jaywalking. All in the last week or so. People are tired of this poo poo. It's obvious that the politicians won't do anything, despite relying on PoC to win elections (at least for the Democrats), and people are sick and tired of seeing their families brutalized and executed by the state. My brother, a federal employee for USPS, was walking to work last year and has SIX cop cars, guns drawn and brandished, swarm him because he "fit the description" of a suspect for a crime on the other side of town. At 8am on a weekday. One innocent, wrong move (i.e. gesturing towards his pockets, running, etc) and my brother would be dead. It's been enough for a long time, but social media and community activism has really started to mobilize around this kind of brutality as a serious issue, at least for certain demographics.

Well, I take back that this is hearkening back to Jim Crow. Jim Crow sheriffs didn't need tactical kneepads. This is worse than Jim Crow. Also the no-fly zone is sure making me think of Gaza, which makes me think that we will in fact have barricaded ghettos within a decade. Oh, actually we seem to have a barricaded ghetto at this very moment! e: Boy, good thing the cops are keeping that memorial from getting too big.
