The Shooting Gallery: Police Violence MEGATHREAD

And it will fix nothing. Only make it come back worse.

We'll see.  The application of the "arrest everybody in sight" policy has quieted things down a lot.  The crowds were in the millions last year.  Now they are in low thousands. 

And if that doesn't work, the National Security Law will 

Keep telling yourself that.

Time will tell    I remember all sorts of people predicting the demise of the party after Tiananmen.  It still looks strong to me after 30 years.

Still communists and still pieces of shit.

I don't remember that...but I do remember you announcing victory and going for almost a year now yet there is no victory.

There will be no "signing a peace treaty on the Missouri" type victory for sure.  Victory is when people give up, and many already have, judging from the size of the crowds.  We have not won yet, but we are getting there.

You guys are just feeding the troll.

Still evil. And only still in power due to the absolute weakness and timidity of the people as a society.

So, I deliberately don't read his thread so that I don't have to deal with his bullshit. And yet here he is, bringing his bullshit into a thread that should have nothing to do with his dribble.

Please stop encouraging it here.

"Probably the only thing Barack Obama and I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world's most overrated General," Trump wrote. "I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was 'Chaos', which I didn't like, & changed it to 'Mad Dog.' His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom 'brought home the bacon'. I didn't like his 'leadership' style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!"

Fromagia thinks it's praiseworthy that public figures don't mention looting.

It's not that I think it's praiseworthy, it's that I think for my conservative friends here on Languish I'm drawing attention to some notable conservatives on the national stage who don't seem at all confused about what's happening. Mattis and Bush both specifically mention lawbreaking and looting but you'd have to have a wooden head to imagine that's what they think the primary problem is. They are explicit.

Whereas your conservative friends obviously think looting is the primary problem.

These guys were in the line in DC tonight. No badge, insignia, uniform, or identifying info. Rumors said they are corrections officers. I dunno, I'm no expert but it seems a bad idea for a prison guard to have a knife strapped to his chest.

I wonder how many of these law enforcement guys are connected to right-wing militias.
