I wouldn't be shocked at all if CNN paid to get hemmed up. They've never gotten over how Vice got the validation cuffs before them in Ferguson 😂
"The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media." Fuck off with this nonsense. The reporter was arrested while broadcasting live on CNN.

'Karen, you know that twitter account you use as "White house", I'm going to have to use it from now on'
By RrusheR Go To PostClassism is the head of the beast but it needs racism to keep chugging along. Can't have white people feeling like they are bottom of the barrel can we? That shit will get rich people killed.
“I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it,” he said. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” - Lyndon Johnson.

Watching that CNN reporter get arrested live was surreal. It felt like I was watching some third world country repression. I expect it out of Venezuela not the fucking U.S.
Journalists get raided their homes and offices raided all the time. US, Australia, etc.
These dudes got to get cuffed and kept the cameras rolling untouched tho? ight

By aka Espi Go To PostDY might be the only person that hates CNN more than Trump.CNN said it was bullshit to bring up Amy Klobuchar's record on race/police oversight not even a year ago lol. Now they on the streets side by side with the people. okay
trump is trash, duh. i have no idea how people still get points for saying trump is dumb in 2020. but at the same time you cannot find a better high level bipartisan scapegoat in american history. its like the lois griffin running for mayor clip where instead of saying "9/11" over and over she says "donald trump". now people acting like it's the first time military will be called up to handle domestic turmoil.
By Kibner Go To PostThis is an interesting thread:the biggest departure from all of this was consistency. with leaders dead and generations pushed deliberately backwards, who do people get their message from primarily? owned talking heads and ill prepared family members of victims thrust into roles they're never prepared for. its 2020 and the playbook hasn't changed since the 80s outside of how profitable the coverage is.

the "this is the only thing we can do" shit is part of the hamster wheel. even if the goal was to return violence owed, this is horribly inefficient at best.

it wouldn't even surprise me which is the sad part

I do not have a good head for this so I appreciate your candor.

Fuck. The cop has a townhouse in FL that he doesn't live in..and it's in MY town less than a mile away across a county road. People on Twitter are trolling and encouraging each other to storm the neighborhood and "protest".
People been driving by screaming, throwing shit, and honking. Cops and helicopters in the area. False narrative on Twitter spreading that he "flee'd" MN (which is impossible) to Florida, and now somehow Florida is getting shitted on.

A murderer and a landlord / real estate agent? Whew.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThe cop has been arrested.Now just need to arrest everyone around him as Accessory to murder
By Laboured Go To PostA murderer and a landlord / real estate agent? Whew.There it is.
By Laboured Go To PostA murderer and a landlord / real estate agent? Whew.Just needs a law degree and he would have the evil trifecta

Glad he's been arrested. Hopefully the dumbasses on Twitter don't swarm the area, because he doesn't live here.
lmao I love how we gonna act like 3 other cops weren't kneeling on him as well and that another cop was just standing there doing nothing.
Basically confirming that police brutality is okay but since Minny is burning shit to the ground, for the first time in US history a cop is going to be "held responsible"

By NinjaFridge Go To PostYou can charge someone with murder and manslaughter?Not unprecedented. I heard a case of a man who was charged with murder for killing a sheriff (he claimed it was in self defence) and managed a plea deal for the death of the deputy (he denied any involvement).
Gonna do this song and dance though where we focus in on this cop and not the system that kept him employed after deaths and numerous complaints.
By unknown Go To Post3rd degree isn't enough.I imagine it would be fairly difficult to get 1st or 2nd degree murder for a police officer.
Exhausted, sad, tired, upset. Other donate its incredibly frustrating that we cant do more help as a collective globally.
But I was reminded that segregation only legally ended 70 years ago, after over 400 years of slavery. It could take over a millennium to undo that kind of damage so really are still the infancy of our journey tbh so just need remember that.

3rd degree murder in MN is 25 years. Manslaughter is 15. Combined, he could face 40.
Realistically, he's looking at 15-25

By AlphaSnacks Go To PostSo uhhh…the two worked together as security officers at a night club for 17 years. Wtf
I think this is false news, I cant find a tweet. But they worked at the same restaurant and there was a year overlap and not even sure they would have had any reason to know each other.
I hope we dont get any false casualty bias type theories because of the info , just want all the energy into getting justice.

Probably not, but I’m think George Zimmerman would have been found guilt of manslaughter. Proving intent isn’t easy
By DY_nasty Go To Postijs lol
“They’re holding me to higher standard than other awful people” Is definitely an argument
