[Eddie Teach]

Do you talk to people?

Not if I can help it.

Seems a bit extreme for breaking curfew.

They do that when people refuse to unlock their doors and get out of the car.  Except the slashing tires thing, never heard of that.

Maybe they should have followed orders?  They were tazed etc not for breaking curfew, but for refusing to obey police orders.

Seems they're slashing a lot of tires Yi

Also, just firing paint canisters at random black folk chilling on their porch

Next they're going to lend them money and hope it doesn't get paid back, the bastards.

Don't know why you're directing that at me.  I said I had never heard of it before.  That's still true.

I suggest they arm themselves and go to the statehouse to protest this lockdown. It's president approved, after all.

Don't bring bow and arrow to a riot, I guess?

A bow does not seem to be an effective melee weapon. A brief look at military history over the millennia could have taught that.

SPD showed great restraint today despite a couple of patrol cars burned and property damage. Much to the hysteria of local news retards.

Now let's look at the footage of the NYPD driving police cars into a group of protestors and the flimsy excuse provided by the mayor.

I saw a lot of Americans who'd been in the military noting the difference between the discipline they would be expected to show, if local civilians were pelting them with rocks etc and the behaviour of the NYPD.

Ok, this made me chuckle.

I assume the difference lies in the training and experience of the troops and those leading them.

Some of the footage is absolutely insane:

Honestly it reminds me most of the way security/bouncers behave in a club. Just heavily armed.

The police don't want to deescalate. They want to suppress.
