F is for Fascism (Ferguson MO)

Video of that CNN crew getting arrested is straight up chilling.

I assume you were responding to MHB here?

I don't think(?) i've ever vouched for the total abolition of law enforcement, because I believe that police officers serve many necessary functions. I'm not a utopian - socialism requires structure and structure requires authority.

I’d like to hear more about this. What are those functions and what are they not?

LMPD: 7 people shot, 1 'critical' during protest in downtown Louisville demanding justice for Breonna Taylor

All of the shooting victims are civilians, according to LMPD, which said none of the victims were shot by officers and that it is "too early to comment on suspects."


Jessie Halladay, a special advisor to LMPD, said the situation is "fluid" and the department is still assessing how to proceed.

"It is unclear at this time whether or not we will be able to provide additional updates this evening," an LMPD spokesperson said in a statement late Thursday night.

Shots were fired around 11:30 p.m. Thursday as hundreds of people gathered on Jefferson Street, near Metro Hall and the Hall of Justice. Before the shots were fired, protesters tried to flip an LMPD prison transport vehicle.

LMPD has not said who fired the shots.

And while Fox News lionized the often heavily armed conservative protesters calling for an end to shelter-in-place orders—Carlson thanked them “for exercising your constitutionally protected rights as American”; Jeanine Pirro said “God bless ’em”; and Laura Ingraham commended them for fighting “to get your freedom back”—when a Black Lives Matter activist showed up to the Minneapolis protest with a firearm, the network had a different response. “Why did you show up armed and aren’t you flirting with disaster?” a Fox News reporter told the demonstrator. The man explained he was armed to protect his community and because “black lives definitely matter,” but Fox’s interviewer maintained that that’s not “an argument for why you’re showing up here with live rounds and a Beretta on your hip.”

The Minnesota State Patrol released this statement on Twitter: "In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media."

MDMH, what nonviolent means do you suggest that don’t involve electing people who seek police reform?

I like how in real life they arrested the black dude out of a group of the four CNN dudes. Just...wow.

It's like the rest of the crew was arrested because "well, shit, we can't just arrest the black one."

It is a real shame your perfect policy president tweeted "they start looting we start shooting" this morning then.

Your quote is materially incorrect.

Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

"when the looting starts, the shooting starts," not "they start looting we start shooting."
