The Shooting Gallery: Police Violence MEGATHREAD

[Sheilbh]

How does white people murdering a white actress do that anyway?

Manson supposedly wanted the police to think that these murders (and that of Gary Hindman, killed by a Manson acolyte a couple of months before) were carried out by the Black panthers as part of the start of a race war.  There's a strong theory that the whole "Helter Skelter" thing was just an attempt to cover up that first a murder, not to start a race war.

Yeah there was all of the painting "Pigs" on the wall etc.

I wouldn't compare this with Manson because as you say I'm not really convinced by that explanation. To me it seems like old fashioned provocations/false flags.

So, one of the guys leading the riots in Minneapolis a few months back turned out to be a member of a gang calling themselves the "Aryan Cowboys'.  Also affiliated with the Hell's Angels.

Do they wear black stetsons with swastikas in the hatband?

I dunno.  I'm getting the feeling this is one of those "Bikers for Trump" that the President is likes so much.  Very fine people don't you know?

"At one point last month, the president privately asked in a meeting if his people could organize more boater events and even inquired, "Are we polling the boaters yet?"

Yeah, at least Putin's guy looks the part of strong henchman to a Bond villain.

It's actually Harrison, Arkansas. Original video here: https://youtu.be/ltmlvk9GAto

Arkansas scares me.

[The Brain]

It did give us the Oral Office though.

Nice one.

I don't doubt that Arkansas is not the safe haven for racially tolerant people, but the problem with all these cut videos is that you have no idea how frequent that kind of response was.  Did every single person scream a racial obscenity, every fifth one, every twentieth, etc.?  I'm sure you can get some of these responses even in NYC if you wait long enough.

Not to mention how easy it would be to set up a friend to play a bigot.

These YouTube clips are fun entertainment, but no one should take them as news.

That's a problem if you need to know with some precision what percentage of the fine citizenry of Harrison AR want to string up coons from lamp posts; otherwise just the raw number gives you a good indication that this is not a fringe.
