Gregg Popovich calls Trump a ‘deranged idiot,’ criticizes his lack of leadership
Pretty much spot on.

Only if he had popped a cialis first. Brad already confirmed his shit doesn't work without chemical assistance. Which help explains why he is such an asshole. It doesn't help explain his idiocy, of course, but 1 out of 2 ain't bad.

You seriously think these people have the tragic death of George Floyd on their minds while doing this?

These are opportunists exploiting a tragic situation. It's heartbreaking to see and completely unproductive.

Nice to see the races working together on these "protests": the white guy in the Guy Fawkes bandana shatters he Nike store front, and the black chick in the shower cap and stretch pants then goes in and grabs the loot; #hopeforamerica.

I agree with Ryan Cooper.

But Democrats are also deeply implicated in our current crisis. Historically they were only somewhat less enthusiastic advocates of mass incarceration and neoliberalism. Today virtually all big American cities are run by the Democratic Party — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, D.C., Philadelphia, and most others. Indeed, Minneapolis has not a single Republican on the city council, and the mayor is a Democrat (as well as the Minnesota governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general).
Big city Democrats have plainly failed to rein in their police departments or to improve their abysmal job performance. The homicide clearance rate (that is, the fraction of murders that end in an arrest) in the U.S. has fallen steadily from over 90 percent in the 1960s, to 69 percent in the late 90s, to about 62 percent today — even while the murder rate has fallen by almost half over the last 30 years. In Baltimore, the clearance rate in 2019 was a mere 32 percent — roughly the fraction of murders that are typically solved by immediate confession or finding the perpetrator at the scene. Unbelievably, Chicago police can't even match that figure — in 2019, they boosted their clearance rate to 56 percent by closing many old cases in which the supposed perpetrator had died or prosecutors refused to press a case. But of murders committed in that year through December 23, Chicago cops had cleared only 21 percent.
(In Finland, by the way, the murder clearance rate is 98 percent.)
Yet Democratic city governments continue to spend gigantic sums on law enforcement. In 2017, Baltimore spent 26 percent of its general revenue fund on cops; in Minneapolis, 36 percent; in Chicago, 39 percent; and in Oakland, 41 percent. Even before the crisis America had a poverty rate about triple that of Denmark or Finland — and in turn, the African-American poverty rate, like their unemployment rate, is reliably twice or more than that of whites. Now most cities are slashing their social services in response to the coronavirus economic collapse, but in New York the police have been largely spared from cuts. In Los Angeles, law enforcement spending has actually gone up.
That's America in 2020: a giant chunk of public dollars going to cops who are shockingly poor at doing their most important jobs, constantly hassle and occasionally kill people, and react to any resulting protest with violence. When citizens accurately perceive that the state is basically hostile to them, one should expect a breakdown of law and order sooner or later. Perhaps instead of paying people handsomely to not solve crimes and shoot tear gas at random people, American cities might try directing some of that money towards badly-needed public benefits.

Whats ridiculous is that force seems to be the only thing that this country knows which in turn radicalizes more people and around and around it goes. Its like with our overseas presence, if you came to my country, bombed my people, and "accidentally" blew up my families weddings, funerals, etc.. you are sure as hell going to radicalize me, make me hate you. This is now the police, I am not even directly involved and I grow angrier and angrier every video I see of peaceful protesters arrested, gassed and trampled. You can separate the looting and rioting because it almost exclusively happens after dark and even then where's the threat from peaceful protesters that are laying on the ground even when its after dark. Its sad and ridiculous.

I don’t condone the property damage but I understand it.

yeah, somebody can talk about the looting and rioting all they want, we have plenty of evidence now from all over the country of police covering up their badge numbers, attacking peaceful protests, teargassing empty residential streets, teargassing people's houses, attacking calm crowds *before* curfew, slashing tires of entire parking lots, pulling innocent people out of cars and attacking them. It's not just, and they're inviting bloodshed.

In Philadelphia and New York yesterday there were multiple instances where looting in higher end retail districts was ignored, and peaceful protests in minority communities were attacked. The disproportion of force and intent was clearly discriminatory.

not like Trump was in any danger by "bravely" walking to the church across the street from the WH. any protestors would have been beaten within an inch of their lives if they tried to do anything.

Watching the national guard and DC cops forcefully remove peaceful protestors with tear gas and flash bangs so that Donald could walk across the street was one of the worst moments I’ve ever felt as an American. Police and conservatives are alienating and radicalizing people at an incredible rate over the last week.

I noticed this too. It is almost as if the police want images of shameless looting in the media. The NYPD would have done a lot more good if they had left the large peaceful protests alone, and focused on the criminals breaking into stores. But that doesn't fit with their goals. You don't need tanks, automatic weapons and body armour to chase kids away from storefronts.

"is that your Bible", Trump responds "it's a Bible".
this guy is a joke. got out of hiding in his bunker, someone gave him whatever Bible is on hand and pushed him out the door to the Church.
what a fucking joke this POS is...

Many of the large city protests are being coordinated in public spaces *away* from retail just for this purpose to put seperation between themselves and looters - they're still getting attacked. You saw the video of the protestors trapped between the road and embankment and being teargassed from both sides so they had nowhere to disperse. That crowd was nowhere near a business.

You have no problem with an American dictator ordering US military to attack innocent, peaceful citizens with horses, tear gas and flash bangs to clear an area so he can create a photo op.
You are beyond pathetic.
