LA Sherriffs killed a guy: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/31/us/la-police-shooting.html

quote:

Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies fatally shot a Black man who they said had a handgun on Monday afternoon after a stop turned into a violent altercation, the authorities said.

The Los Angeles County deputies handcuffed the man after firing at him several times in Westmont, a South Los Angeles neighborhood. The aftermath of the shooting was recorded by bystanders, who protested the authorities’ deadly use of force. As the day turned to evening, a crowd of protesters gathered at the site of the shooting.

According to the Sheriff’s Department, the man, who was not immediately identified, had been riding a bicycle when deputies tried to stop him. The reason for the stop was a code violation related to bicycle riding, according to the department, which did not elaborate on the nature of the violation.

The man fled, and deputies chased him, the department said. When they caught up with the man near West 109th Place and Budlong Avenue around 3:30 p.m., a fight began.

At a news conference, Lt. Brandon Dean of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the man had “punched one of the officers in the face” and dropped some items he had been holding. “The deputies noticed that inside the clothing items that he dropped was a black semiautomatic handgun, at which time” a deputy opened fire, he said.

You're both right on this one. Donnie does nothing but make golf analogies, usually about putting, when he's complaining about people "choking". He went nuts about the Federal Reserve a while back - HE'S LIKE A GOLFER THAT CAN'T PUTT, NO TOUCH

General Mikalsen to assembled NATO troops

"It's imperative that our use of force is proportional and appropriate to the circumstances," he said, bending at the hip and sliding his arm forward, mimicking the release of a curling stone, "You gotta control it every step of the way--too little and you won't accomplish the mission, too much and it's courts martial this tribunal that."

I don't mean to dogpile, but if you read one joke thread title and conclude that the entirety of the subforum is "going back to" unironically supporting Biden, I think you're a little too close to the issue.

Not saying my poo poo don't stink, because god knows I've felt enough frustration with the election myself already, and I'm unwashed Euro-trash, but of all the infuriating stuff I read, I'll respond to maybe one out of ten posts, because this poo poo is getting me wound up too much.
