Quit killing people with impunity, and beating the shit out of other people. Quit using weapons of war (rubber bullets, chemical agents) against protestors on the street as the 1st Amendment allows; quit shoving old men to the ground and walking past them as they bleed.WATCH 🚨 New York police boss Mike O'Meara went off on the media today:— August Takala (@AugustTakala) June 9, 2020

Quit beings dicks and assholes and publicly acclaiming the dicks and assholes when they get arrested.
Then we can talk. For the time being, this is how you appear to the rest of us.
Antifa: We are going to flood the zone with senior citizens for police to knock over and bleed out of their ears.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) June 9, 2020
Fuck you.
Look at that picture, all white, all middle aged males. Could there be a less self aware group? They beat up people as they were being interviewed on camera, they knew they were being recorded and still couldn't stop themselves gratuitously gassing, shooting and beating people. We need to seriously demilitarize the police.
ReplyDeleteLooking for relief from reading news all day yesterday, I happened across an old Flip Wilson-Geraldine routine when Harry Belafonte was a guest, at one point a female charcter taps Geraldine with a stick and she says, "Don't you hit me with that stick, you're no New York City police officer." I think it was from about 1971 or so.
ReplyDeleteI think if he wants the media to stop saying that's what the cops are doing, the best way for that to happen is for them to stop doing it.
