When you're Trump the solution to every problem is simply add more Trump. Lots More.

In this case that's only deepening his problems so it's a feedback loop leading to self destruction.
Lincoln Project needs to make an ad based on this mockery of a news conference,
and that George Floyd is celebrating the fact that the unemployment numbers went down.
Then point out that the orange menace forgot to mention that George Floyd is dead.
Just to show again, to the citizens, just how tone deaf he is.

sigh, double down you shitheads, keep doubling down

The true face of American law enforcement.

Where are all the NRA gun totting members? They outta be outraged just as much as black people, you can clearly see the government is literally one step away from becoming a tyrannical dictatorship. Do we think the US military is any different? They are trained from day one to follow orders, god help us if the generals in charge do not stand for the constitution and rule of law.

Lady posted this on twitter -

This week I’ve watched cops:
-beat elderly people
-grope women
-gas children
-seize face masks
-shoot elected officials
-tase students
-beat reporters
-drive into crowds
-target press
-arrest legal observers
-storm homes
-kill kids

And people are defending them for it. :confused:

It seems the people brainwashed into blindly loving the military and a republican controlled government are the same people brainwashed into blindly loving militant police departments.

yeah...but maybe we should stop doing it that way?

Given the state of things, I'd rather have a moron with a good attitude than a genius with an evil agenda.
But those arent our choices anyway.
Its regular folks who can be easily sent in one direction or the other depending on the culture they walk in to.
THATS why we have so many cops with the mindset of "us versus them" and "they're all threats". The shitty culture perpetuates itself, just like every other culture on planet earth.

Here is the orange menace today ranting about the kneeling when the national anthem is played.
This dumb mothereffer just just doesn't get it.
Same day he's saying "George Floyd is looking down from heaven at the great jobs report" or some shit.

Here's the quote
"“Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, ‘This is a great thing that’s happening for our country,’” Trump said.
“This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody.” "
Great day for him? WTF?
He's dead asshole.

Bullshit. He knows exactly what he's doing with all of that.

The problem with the D average students in high school is that is going to be your collection of morons and bullies for the most part,and they have always been flooding the PD, and why we are where we are. It isn't just that they are dumb with a good attitude, a lot of behavioral issues tend to feed on each other at that level, and it sorta works it's way into that demographic.

The world is against them--that's why they fail--and so the world must pay for the failures that they don't deserve.

Seeing some of the videos coming out the police riots makes me think that it's only a matter of time until protesters start losing their shit in a big way, and I wouldn't blame them at all considering the indiscriminate violence the police are inflicting.

It is only a matter of time. Pretty sure we're only a day or two from someone doing something incredibly stupid, and escalating things significantly.

I think a big problem is that because of enablers and tolerance, the police force attracts bullies, not stable, moral men.

You probably think you're being funny and/or clever. Neither is happening, just some self-exposure.

Yeah. Here I was thinking that Black Lives Matter might pump the brakes when they start actually ending black lives, but I guess there's more nuance to it than that. I suppose it's the fault of white racism anyway, the eternal God of the Gaps for the left.

The fact that you think BLM killed dorn or was killed because of BLM shows just how fucking broken you are.

For your sake you better hope Dorn’s killer is black otherwise you’ll look like a bigger asshole than you already are.

We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, “This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.” This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality. It’s really what our Constitution requires and it’s what our country is all about.”

Trump actually said this is a great day for George. And what is this great thing that's happening for our country? We have an innocent man dead at the hands of 4 idiot cops and LEO's are now acting like Nazi's going around fucking up protesters like it's the thing to do. I fail to see anything even close to great here. Jesus fuck he never disappoints to disappoint me.

I knew we'd have idiots who used the protests as an excuse to be asshats and burn down and loot shit, and I expected we'd see a few instances of cops being asshats too. But the police have completely blown me away here. They've exceeded the asshat level ten fold.

Also why would you want your badass Marines associating with a loser flag.
that's a very good question, another that was posed to them was why it took so damn long for that to happen, but it happened and progress is good

You really are stupid and completely blinded by your white privilege blinders, aren't you? Do you realize it will require an entire systemic change for BLM to accomplish their intended goal, for black people to feel safer at all times and to feel like they truly belong in the US equally with everyone else, including white people? There needs to be a complete renovation of our militarized police force, a majority of the police fired and put in jail for the crimes they have committed to the people they were supposed to protect and serve, for the horrible crimes that they are committing now living out their physical beatdown fantasies they've always harbored.

Police budget has to be cut down by 90% in most areas so they do not surpass the education budget, health services budget, and many other crucial items that are needed to make a community prosper. The way police are hired and trained has to be completely revamped, they require many more hours of training before being allowed to graduate, their training curriculum has to also change. Instead of getting Israeli training of yeeting Palestinians, they need constant de-escalation training and also training on how to deal with the mentally handicapped citizens they will run into on their jobs.

If you think BLM is just trying to get the police to stop killing black people, you are completely ignorant and should just excuse yourself from any BLM subjects with your complete lack of understanding. Take a look at how much money the LAPD consumes. What do you see is wrong here?

Police spending will consume 53.8% of the city’s “unrestricted” general fund revenue — taxes that are not earmarked for special purposes or certain fees, fines and grants. The LAPD makes up 17.6% of the city’s overall $10.5-billion budget, a figure that does not include police pensions and healthcare, according to city budget officials.
