lets see him in cuffs please

How mad are his fellow officers that they have to put up this charade of "arresting" him just to stop these uppity thugs?

[Munson]

we've seen the shtein these cops do right in front of people with their phone cameras pointed at them. imagine what they do when there aren't cameras around.

The most wild thing I can think of that we have proof of was when the DOJ report on St Louis and I think Baltimore came out and one of the things noted in the report was how a cop told his partner to stop so they can arrest a group of black dudes on the corner, and when the other cop asked what they'd arrest them for, the first cop said something like "well find something". They did this with a DOJ investigator in the car with them.

3rd degree murder and manslaughter.

I have no doubt that he'll be found not guilty if there's even a trial, and be back on a police force somewhere by the end of the year.

If you have any "why are they protesting Black Death by burning minority businesses" in your life (they're mostly not, btw. A lot of them are trying to push to leave local small businesses alone and go after big chain spots. Obviously hasn't been followed completely but)

Trump and Wallace have a lot in common.

Demagogues willing to use anything to get and stay in power.

[Rome]

Here's hoping they both meet similar ends.

And burning down minority owned businesses is the height of stupidity.  The fires are being set by neo-nazis incidentally.

this is literally antifa anarchist losers who want to see the world burn....couldnt care less about some dead black guy

I don't know if anyone else is watching CNN right now but holy shtein.

Our society is unraveling right in front of us.  Right now.

I was watching the clash at the CNN building live as it happened. Pretty intense. Dude with the skateboard got tased twice and just plucked it off his shirt

Between that and CNN arrest this morning, someone please convince me these aren't Trumpist Brownshirt cops taking their shots at the "fake news" media while they can?
