The riot to reform police thread

[cfbandyman]

I just can't imagine being stupid enough to even entertain the idea. How do these people survive day to day life?

they're not stupid per se, just choosing to prioritize beliefs over facts. Lots of people do it.

Right, reminds me of my first time in doing start up and our start up manager, who very much knew how to turn on a power plant, which is not easy and very technical, was totally in on conspiracy theories like vaccines is actually why people got sick/were for mind control, that the US had a high powered rail gun in space and had used it against China (probably his most realistic take on at least having a rail gun), and a bunch of other things. That was 2015, a simpler time, can't imagine what he believes now.

I miss the days when people would stand by beliefs out of ignorance, like "global warming is a hoax." Believing that the local police, other than maybe the 2 who got arrested, the military personnel, and the paramedics are all working together to keep the fake injury quiet as some sort of ANTIFA operation is just stupid. It's pure fantasy that can't be explained away by simple ignorance.

Ah the simple days of fighting against global warming is a hoax, simpler times

The vast majority of the south is made up of total idiots.  Look at the total dominating ass whipping the north put on them in the civil war (and ever since).

when you fail in the north/midwest/west/east you move tot he south.  It is a respite for total failures

Since that precinct building in cap hill is boring now, the socialist councilmember rounded up some of the people that were there and walked them about 3/4 mile down to city hall and let them in and campaigned.  Good that some protesters appreciated her unlocking city hall but aren't falling for it.

And yeah, ever-y-one's getting 'rona there.

There's also still some groups at the original spot as well as those that went on their own march downtown.  It's all just a reality show at this point with characters trying to get what they can out of it.

Honestly the cops leaving them alone was the best thing for police pr but maybe not for the reasons the cops might have thought.

I was about to half-sarcastically suggest that if all that indoor space is underutilized most nights when it's not being occupied by protesters that it should be repurposed as a homeless shelter.  Then I learned that it normally is used as a homeless shelter.  The city had to shut that down the past week or so after prior protest damage.

This place is pretty nut(s).

I wonder how the city council will react to Sawant's actions. A couple weeks ago, they gently steered another new council member, Lewis, away from threatening use of a subpoena. Told him, "we can do that, but never actually do." They prefer to ask nicely again and give the other party plenty of additional time to respond. Lewis then apologized profusely for his ignorance of the council's standard practice over the next five minutes.

Guys, Cops just got defunded and dismantled 

[Dugout DickStone]

Today I learned that Cops was still being shot (live on scene with the men and women of law enforcement)

The Seattle turn in this is not entirely some weird outcome to this (nor some inevitable thing as many on the right who are trying to subvert the protests) but it definitely plays well into a sharp deviation from the point of the protests. It's definitely trying to hijack a movement for totally selfish reasons though IMO
