There's a whole lot of domestic right wing terrorists in Washington DC enjoying their white privilege right about now.

Girlfriend warned Nashville police Anthony Warner was building bomb a year ago, report shows
https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2020/12/29/nashville-explosion-woman-warned-mnpd-warner-building-bomb-2019/4082253001/
sounds like all the protocols were followed, up until the disputed event of the attorney allegedly not letting the police talk to warner. which doesn't really make sense to me. sounds to me like the cops are trying to save a little face here.
but if they had cause to search, they had cause. if they didn't, they didn't. doesn't matter if the attorney let them talk to him or not. if they have cause, it's not his call.
white guy making bombs = follow protocol
black guy selling weed = midnight no knock raid and shoot anything that moves
yes, we get it.
ever get tired of posting the same shit every second post?
I'm tired of living in a police state where citizens are murdered with impunity, while people are convinced it's the 'best country in the world' and the standard for democracy
I'm tired of living in the richest country in the world, where we can't afford to provide basic amenities such as health care, housing, education, and food
Yes, I'm tired of the same shit everyday
You are entitled to voice your frustration, disappointment, etc. as many times as you like and you can repeat it word for word if you want because last time I looked as long as you paid your membership and obey the rules you're good to go. And if that bothers anyone then ignore his posts. I must have missed those specific instructions when I joined or is it just normal for people around here who aren't PJ employees to call the shots?
no one is claiming to "call the shots". just calling out the bullshit where I see fit.
Shouldn't we all be happy right now? We're all on the same page here. Things aren't going to change overnight but there's a lot more to hope for now then there has been in a long time.
Everyone stop being so cranky!
who's cranky. i don't have to be cranky to have an opinion.

Good call... I mean, we're experiencing the 4th largest mass casualty event in America's history (soon to be 3rd) and terrorists have stormed the nation's capitol, but people should try to be a little less cranky.

The events in DC today are no less applicable for this thread than they are the PB thread.

Absolutely. If I didn't know better, I'd say that maintaining white supremacy is a key function of police.

Is chasing a black cop up three flights of stairs within the nation's Capitol building and not getting 11 rounds in the chest, you know, body mass and all.

For exercising restraint?
How come there was no shortage of teargas rubber bullets and heavy handedness when we were protesting for racial equality and not trying to overthrow the govt?

It is pretty ridiculous. I was as critical of the BLM "peaceful protests" as anyone. But come on, trashing a Walmart isn't exactly equal to trashing the federal capitol.

None of them should have been allowed to leave the building unless they were in handcuffs. I shouldn't be, but I am blown away.
Two-Tiered justice system at work...

lol you mean it isn't? I thought that is what it was founded on.
A lady was shot and killed, from what I saw looked like the police. How is that white privilege or kids gloves?
I think today was terrible. No one should storm a capitol building like that. I hope they are all caught. But I keep hearing and seeing comments like this, or comparing it to BLM and talk about the white privilege and I just don't agree. BLM lasted for months, were allowed to take over police precincts in some cases. We're allowed to assault police in many cases. The few times t be y were prosecuted the DA was fired and celebrities posted the bail.
This just seems more like a lesson in Newton's Third Law than white privilege.
one shooting. come on. look at the rest of how it went down. had that been muslims or black people? mass casualties. guaranteed.
One white woman trying to help overthrow the government does not equal protesting for racial justice and being met by jack booted thugs. It's too bad she died but let's look at the facts. 13 arrests and the terrorists calmly walked out of the capital escorted by cops. After attempting to OVERTHROW our elected government. People with sidearms and zip ties no less. There is a real history of racial violence and prejudice in this country and a two tiered justice system. If you didn't see it today I'm sorry but you are blind.
No reason to argue it - anyone who wants to discuss what went down today by comparing to this summers protests about the systemic racism in America is not interested in a real discussion.
Making that comparison is white privilege at work.
