It’s ok. She’s safe in her mansion out in California in the district next to that she represents, so she’s going to be fine.
RE: Ice Cube. He tweeted out a picture of the cop who stood on the victim next to a picture of an internet troll in a “Make Whites Great Again” hat, insinuating they were the same person…though, I suppose, all white people do look alike. Something like 50k retweets and retweets upon the retweets.
Minneapolis was already going downhill but now is headed towards full-on Baltimore or Detroit status. Bump this thread in a decade and see how people discuss the city.
Ah, perhaps this is what Twitter was talking about - I saw a lot of posts that Trump was saying he was going to use the military to kill black people and that the people in Minneapolis were ready to take on the Army when the come in but couldn’t find what they were even referring to.
He’s inarticulate as hell but I sort of want the president to keep things in the hands of the local government - he’s the first president in our lifetime who doesn’t appear to leap to automatically expand the power of the federal government during a crisis. Granted, I wish that he phrased things differently though - perhaps something between Obama’s statements in such situations that “we will come together. As people. And hope. Pray. Do the hokey-pokey. Perhaps. Even turn ourselves around. To ensure that this sort of thing never happens again.”
This is normal, outside of the fact that we are in the longest, most peaceful, most prosperous time in modern history. If you’re specifically talking about the US, crime is at a near record low and riots…well, riots sort of are the normal.
Every person I know who knows about such things was saying that third-degree was probably what the charges would be. The cop’s best possibility of walking would have been from over-charging him with something higher - this is going to virtually guarantee that he lives behind bars for the rest of the decade at least though I wonder what the other cops are going to be charged with?
Whoaaa there partner. Now that’s a bit too much for me but like Chris Rock says, I ain’t saying it’s right but I understand
It’s not MSM who’s solely at fault. We (general sense) didn’t get here in a vacuum but rather lack of governmental oversight (deregulation in telecommunications to start with) and other elements have gotten us to this point. But I digress
Right now, it’s important to support the press to a reasonable level because of first amendment rights. I’m not interested in living thru some sort of communism-lite society. We need the press.
The irony is here is martial law is going to be enforced when shouldn’t be needed. I’m not saying we should have had it for Covid-19 but it would have been understandable if it had been enacted.
But this bs??? I’m not gonna be sorry when they do.
