Defund the police is absurd but climbing through the window was despicable. I cannot believe Melania tweeted condolences for her ahead of the law enforcement officer who died. I guess that’s all part of the reason she is no longer First Lady (thank God).

I don’t cry about those others. I think BLM is fine but BLM coupled with violence I have no use for (looters specifically). And I have no use for treasonous invaders of the Capitol.

The Democrats almost lost the Congress over that shit so you won’t be hearing too much about it going forward.

I must have missed that.
A law enforcement officer was shot and killed during the January 6th demonstration?
I don’t remember that? Or was the cause of death something other than being shot by the demonstrators?

I think both a law enforcement agent, as well as a female protester.
Pales in comparison to the BLM protest deaths. Still sad. I don't think anything will placate the SJW rioters, so I expect more to resume this summer - albeit slightly fewer demonstrations now that Biden is in office.

The media is done pushing them into your face so they toss them aside. They never cared about blm or police, they only care about getting their democrat rulers agenda in place.

Exactly. All better on election day. Just like 2016.
My only thoughts are they might come for their reparations if Joe doesn't throw em' a bone soon.

A police officer was shot and killed by the demonstrators?
If that is true, it is definitely not being reported on in Chicago.
Not calling you a liar, I just had/have not seen that reported.

No that did not happen (shot and killed). I believe he was crushed in the crowd of rioters. Not certain of all the details on that.

Those people are already on the free govt life. Not like they took off work to tear shit up.
Already enjoying the highest standard of living for free in the history of mankind and rioting. Just DUMB.

Thank you for clarifying that, mphgrove. I hate being a purveyor of fake news.
Do you know if that officer passed away from his injuries? I seem to recall that he was reported as having died, but did not verify that.
-
Very true. Just have to keep having those fatherless babies to keep th4 checks coming in.
Definitely - but if both Canada and the USA keep importing poor people, the system will eventually collapse.
I remember some dumb shit Canadian leftist [her name is actually Karen, lol] said that she bets all the high-Covid cases were in Republican states. Haha, the dumb bitch - as always, the OPPOSITE was true.
I then sent her data showing that, and she didn't reply to me. Some people are delusional. IMO, the USA has higher deaths than Canada because it has a higher population density. I can't stand when people seek to oversimplify things.
That said, it should be obvious that the more global poor people that the USA imports, the greater the burden on the welfare system.

Yes, he died.

Yes, he died.
So here is what I found:
One female Trump supporter shot and killed.
One female and two males suffered “medical emergencies” during the protest and died
One police officer committed suicide a few days later.
So a female Trump supporter was shot, three people had heart attacks(?), and one person committed suicide days later.
I’m finding it difficult to determine who exactly it was the Trump supporters “attacked and harmed”?
-
I don’t cry about those others. I think BLM is fine but BLM coupled with violence I have no use for (looters specifically). And I have no use for treasonous invaders of the Capitol.
Treason? Lol yeah ok

And I am positive that most Americans (and possibly even most on this Board) would agree with me that it is sad that you are attempting to put a positive spin on despicable actions here. Plus your information is inaccurate. The law enforcement officer’s name was Brian Sicknick. He was on the job during these events and was crushed during the demonstrations or riots or whatever you chose to call it. He died from those injuries a few days later. Melania honored the rioter ahead of him.

What one side does wrong does not make the other side right. You know that. I stand firmly by what I said about the rioters and Melania, but here goes. I am going to talk about BLM, because as most of you deny, most Biden voters don’t really feel that comfortable with BLM.
The problem with BLM is that it focuses on one thing and one thing only: law enforcement and there are a million other things that need focusing on. In focusing on that one thing, it throws the entire law enforcement community under the bus (or at least that is their perception, and perception is reality in my view). We need law enforcement badly. Only idiots would deny that, and the underclass Black community absolutely needs it most (not meaning to include more prosperous middle class Black communities, although my guess is that they need law enforcement pretty badly too.)
Here’s what I said to a Black friend of mine.
Yes, many Police Departments need reform and bad apples needed to be weeded out. But we need to constantly remind ourselves how a healthy society needs law enforcement and needs to SUPPORT our law enforcement officers.
I would have way less objection to BLM if it
did not ONLY focus on law enforcement. That ONLY part is what makes law enforcement officers feel totally disrespected, when there are so many other things to focus on too.
What if there were an umbrella organization BLM with a number of subdivisions including:
Black Lives Matter in Policing: focused on Police Department Reform and Community Policing
Black Lives Matter in Entrepreneurshp: focused on keeping money within the Black community
Black Lives Matter in Black on Black Crime (the elephant in the room. This is exactly why law enforcement is so desperately needed in these communities)
Black Lives Matter in Unemployment: focused on job fairs, interviewing, tax strategies for bringing employers into the community.
Those are the views of a Centrist. But on Twitter (and this Board), you would never know that there were any Centrists in America. I cannot tell you the exact mix of “progressives” versus “moderates” within the Democratic Party, but all I can say is there are LOTS of people I know who feel like I do.

Calm your tits Caitlyn, I wasn’t putting any spin on anything.
I was not able to find anything that said a police officer was crushed during the demonstration. CNN and ABC news both reported that there were “three medical emergencies” that occurred during the protest and that the people had passed away. The made no mention of a police officer being crushed and dying during the protest.
So if you will, and I mean this in a non-argumentative way, post a reputable link or cite your source to that information. I have not seen anything like that being reported, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t just miss seeing it.

You are a liar.
FROM CNN:
“Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday night. Sicknick was reported to have been injured while physically engaging with the rioters and collapsed after returning to his division office, the Capitol Police statement said. "He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.”
Sicknick was not the police officer shown in videos being crushed in a doorway.
You are another lying liberal piece of shit.

Just to be clear, Brian Sicknick, was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during the capitol riots. He later died from the injuries he sustained.

We are getting way too deep into the weeds here on which specific police officer was struck by fire apparatus and then later died or “crushed” in the fracas and then later died. My simple initial point was that there were deaths that happened in connection with the riots (that would not have happened otherwise) and that Melania offered condolences to a rioter ahead of the police officers.

Small-Town Iowa Public Schools Teach Preschoolers Transgenderism And Judging People By Skin Color
A Latino man is judged by the color of his skin and then dehumanized in racial terms because of where he lives. This is okay in America using public tax dollars and public institutions.
By Joy Pullmann
JANUARY 28, 2021
Next week, the Ames, Iowa public school district is sponsoring a “Black Lives Matter week of action” that includes teaching transgenderism to children as young as four years old, Young America’s Foundation reports.
On the school district’s webpage about this “week of action” slated for Feb. 1-5, it reprints the “Black Lives Matter at School Guiding Principles,” which include the following:
“6. Queer Affirming – We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual unless s/he or they disclose otherwise.”
“7. Trans Affirming – We are committed to embracing and making space for trans siblings to participate and lead. We are committed to being self-reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cis-gender privilege…”
“11. Black Villages – We are committed to disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, and especially ‘our’ children to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”
Besides being anti-family and adamant about teaching sexual information to children as young as four, the curriculum is overtly racist. Here are just a few examples.
The school district’s recommended lessons for middle and high school students during this week include a “Justice for Trayvon Martin Tool Kit” that includes the following statement for class discussion:
“Discuss George Zimmerman and his Internalized Racism [sic] how even though he is Latino, why he is labeled as white. Ex. George Zimmerman is ethnically latino[sic]–however, [sic] he has the same racial privilege as white person, living in a gated community. He has a light skin color, and he holds [sic] no spanish [sic] name. So Zimmerman is so white-washed, and consumed by white supremacy that [sic] is why he is white.”
A Latino man is judged by the color of his skin and then dehumanized in racial terms because of where he lives. This is okay to teach children in America using public tax dollars and public institutions.
The grammatically embarrassing “tool kit” also says: “THIS CAMPAIGN DIRECTLY TARGETS A PRISON-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX THAT SUPPORTS DRACONIAN DRUG POLICIES, IMMIGRANT DETENTION, AND THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE.” It also encourages students to “organize in their schools and communities” with activities such as “hosting a school assembly about police violence, starting a student organization dedicated to discussing and working on issues around police violence and racial profiling…”
A coloring page for young children linked in the school district’s curriculum folder for this week includes the following super-awkward, stereotyped image:
(https://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/blmdrums.jpg)
We want children to be encouraged to think of black people as drummers wearing ragged jungle clothes and bare feet? It’s probably way too uncomfortable for me to make any commentary about the physical features of this cartoon man, but suffice it to say that in other contexts they would also be seen as evidence of racist stereotyping. If The New York Times published this picture as an editorial cartoon or article illustration, street agitators would lose their minds.
This same district plan for “early childhood” instruction links to a lesson from the blog “Raising Race-Conscious Children.” That site states: “A key premise of this blog is that naming race (and other social realities) can support people to be race conscious (as opposed to ‘color blind’).” Ladies and gentlemen, we are no longer in Martin Luther King Jr.’s vicinity with race issues. We are in a much, much darker place.
The population of Ames is approximately 62,000. Ames Community School district manages about 5,000 students and spends $13,000 per student per year, according to federal data. Also according to federal data, 80 percent of Ames prek-12 students are white, 10 percent are Asian, 4 percent are Hispanic, and 3 percent are black.
The local media household income is $44,000, significantly below the national average. But the local median household income of parents of school children is $88,000, and 72 percent of parents of local school children have college degrees, approximately twice the national average on both counts.
What accounts for the difference? Ames is the home of Iowa State University and several federal agency outposts, such as an energy lab and U.S. Department of Agriculture locations. It appears the parents of most of the school-age children in the community are white professionals with college degrees — the typical woke profile. Seventy-nine percent of them are married, drastically more than the national average of U.S. parents of school children.
Marriage has undeniably contributed to these parents’ professional success. Children without it are at risk for almost every terrible thing possible, including poverty, physical and sexual abuse, poor health, and economic insecurity.
These comfortable parents have their children in public schools that are hypocritically endorsing the kind of family and social structure that, if realized, would ensure greater material and emotional poverty in their own children and in all children. While claiming to seek equality and justice, these parents’ school district is helping increase inequality and injustice.
Ames, Iowa is represented in the U.S. Congress by Republican Randy Feenstra. It is represented in the Iowa House by Democrat Ross Wilburn, a “diversity officer” for Iowa State University, and by Democrat Beth Wessel-Kroeschell. It is represented in the state Senate by Democrat Herman Quirmbach, a ranking member on the Senate Education Committee.
The Iowa legislature is currently considering a proposal to let parents decide where to take their child’s public education dollars rather than preserving public schools’ complete monopoly on children and funds.

BLM removed the invidious anti-nuclear family/pro-communist language from their website, but they're still pushing it.

Investigators struggle to build murder case in death of US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick
Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.
Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney's office to build out a case, authorities have said.
To date, little information has been shared publicly about the circumstances of the death of the 13-year veteran of the police force, including any findings from an autopsy that was conducted by DC's medical examiner.
In a statement the day after the insurrection, Capitol Police said that Sicknick had been "injured while physically engaging with protesters" and collapsed as a result of his injuries sometime after returning to his office. He died the next day in a local hospital.

"defunding" happening in nyc
https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/773-20/new-york-city-new-mental-health-teams-respond-mental-health-crises (https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/773-20/new-york-city-new-mental-health-teams-respond-mental-health-crises)
Mental health teams for mental health crises strikes me as a great idea, but the article states:
"By January, Mobile Crisis Teams will be able to respond to urgent mental health situations within two hours citywide during the day and evening. Mobile Crisis Teams, often dispatched by NYC Well and operated by hospitals and community-based organizations, respond to urgent mental health needs approximately 21,000 times per year, often serving children and adults in their homes. Mobile Crisis Teams can include nurses, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, community liaisons and peers. Services can include assessment, crisis counseling and connection to ongoing services. Through the Crisis Prevention and Response Task Force, the City improved response times of our mobile crisis teams."
Too many bad things can happen in just 10 minutes (let alone 2 hours) if police aren't available. Crisis Team members will be injured or killed, and their union will demand that every team be accompanied by NYPD.

Why did it take 6 years to remove her?
The left will tolerate Garza's, Tometi's, and Cullor's views for a while as a means to an end but the right is clamping down on BLM's golems who are now very actively promoting BDS, ICC investigations, and increasingly labeling Israel as a colonialist venture during a sea change in anti-Israel sentiments among liberals that wasn't at this level 6 years ago.

Does that really make sense? Considering it's a post in a thread about BLM's perceived lower profile? Or... does it seem likely that a woman who was just in the news a few weeks ago for "suspicious financial activity" might be interested in stepping away from an unpaid position to pursue opportunities without her finances being under a microscope.

Six years ago she made comments calling for the end of Israel. We are coming to the end of the 7th Sabbatical cycle, 49 years total, and will enter (for Hebrews) a year of Jubilee and all debts are forgiven, land rights reversed to original ownership and slaves/prisoners will be freed.
So you see this Jewish run organization had no other choice but to remove her from power now or they would be stuck and in turn endorsing her anti Israeli ideas.
As if a millionaire Marxist was concerned about being under a microscope...

The rest of your post is spot on, but why wouldn't she be concerned? It's a talking point that has been used against her and blm. It's widely known that people who move out of high-profile non-profit positions can make a killing in other laces like appearances, consulting, teaching, etc, which she appears to already be doing.

I’m just trolling bro, I think she stepped away from the spotlight of her own accord.
I’m sure she felt constant pressure and was tired of taking shots regarding her finances and material purchases from every direction. I’m sure it also wasn’t fun to be constantly challenged on her beliefs every waking moment.

Man, I'm the one who should be explaining myself. I posted here by accident, I thought this was the bitcoin thread! If you check your dogecoin portfolio, then go back and read my posts, they will probably make more sense.

Does that really make sense? Considering it's a post in a thread about BLM's perceived lower profile? Or... does it seem likely that a woman who was just in the news a few weeks ago for "suspicious financial activity" might be interested in stepping away from an unpaid position to pursue opportunities without her finances being under a microscope.
Unpaid position...you have to be joking. She's a fraud and backed out when the heat was on her.
Other organizations are investigating her, but I guess it's all false, right?
Why do you think it is that Breona Taylor's family and other "police brutality" victims are calling BLM a fraud?
Do you know if anyone they've actually given money too besides the Harris administration?

The mother of Breonna Taylor, a Kentucky Black woman shot and killed by police during a raid on her home, said the group's national standing has yet to help her following her daughter’s death.
"I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud," Tamika Palmer wrote in an April Facebook post, The Post reported.

BLM is not a charity- it is a policy organization. They don't give money out to individuals. And if they did you would be complaining about that. ::) They've given plenty of money to other organizations and BLM offshoots, much higher than the industry standard.
Secondly, ThinLizzy posted a quote( ironically, in support of you) and it showed that Taylor's mother was specifically talking about BLM LOUISVILLE, which is not the same thing as the BLM Cullors founded. And that's been a big issue with organizations with BLM in their names, because there are many that are not connected. Alicia Garza (who co-founded BLM with Cullors) has implied that's one of the reasons she stepped away, so she could work on a project with similar goals with fewer organizational issues.
And what organizations are investigating her?

It is super easy. It would have been super easy for you, too, just conducting a 3 second google search.
Firstly, here's the impact statement from BLM. Quick google search:
https://www.thenonprofittimes.com/npt_articles/blm-impact-report-shows-networks-strength-fundraising/
BLMGNF distributed $21.7 million — 23 percent of total assets — in grants to 33 organizations and Black Lives Matter chapters. The organization reported $8.4 million in operating expenses. At the end of the year, after expenses and grant distributions, the organization had a balance of roughly $60 million.
Secondly, and more importantly, here's some background about how the BLM Foundation operates:
https://www.insider.com/what-is-thousand-currents-black-lives-matter-charity-2020-6
Cliffnotes: It operated under a fiscal sponsorship with a thousand currents up until last year. What this meant is that a Thousand Currents had to approve BLM spending/grant disbursements until BLM was given non-profit status (which happened last year) and they were legally responsible for any malfeasance. Cullors had already purchased three of her "suspicious properties" by the time the sponsorship ended, during a time when she wouldn't even have been able to misappropriate BLM money if she wanted to.
As I said in the very first line of the post you quoted, BLM is not make-a-wish. Their mission is not to handout money to individuals. It is a policy organization. I can understand the families' frustrations over their loved ones playing a huge part in BLM's visibility, but that is not proof of fraud.
In the last year, donations to BLM organizations exploded, possibly 50x greater than any previous year. Any organization would have hiccups with that kind of growth and issues with dispersing, especially considering there are dozens of other local organizations and chapters with variations on the name with no affiliation. The fact that BLM Foundation operated under a fiscal sponsorship is just further proof of that.
The fact that there are tensions between them is not unexpected or proof of fraud. In the very article you posted (presumably to support your point), the author details how Cullors made most of her money through outside projects (including a best selling book) and specifically says " although there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of Cullors."

I have to admit, I wasn't fully aware of how big of a sham BLM truly was. Earning their money on the backs of 'police brutality' victims, but literally giving nothing back to the victims.
I wonder if all the people who march realize that BLM will give them nothing if they become a 'vicitm' themselves.
Still haven't had anyone confirm where a single dollar of BLM money went. Lots of policies, but no real proof.
I sure hope the resignation of Patrice really wakes people up.

Too bad you don't see BLM for what it truly is. Sad that so many blacks are made to feel like they can't achieve anything on their own, all the while, BLM is cashing in.
I'm just glad BLM is finally being exposed for what it truly is. They've literally don't nothing to help blacks.
Why do you think it is that blacks are made to feel interior in this country and other races are not?

Everyone that has whined to "defund the police" should get assfucked to Hades by the criminals they claim to love. There's one race - human. Those that act like animals should be put to death if they are rapists, murderers, pedophiles and the like.
Color means nothing. Character everything. I don't give a fuque if you whine that your upbringing made you a murderer or rapist or pedophile. You are responsible for you actions, not society. Liberals deserve to be devoured by their pets.

If you obey the police, most often you go home unscathed. So simple.

I have never been in favor of defunding the police. I do think some of them need more training. How does that happen if there are fewer funds? I also believe police applicants should have a thorough psychological vetting before they are hired and periodically during their careers....not just when they snap and end up killing someone who they could have just arrested. Had this been the case with Derek Chauvin, maybe he wouldn't be in the pickle he's in now.

Have you ever seen real big city urban crime?
How exactly would you train a police officer to deal with crime in the Southside of Chicago?
How would you psychologically prepare a new police recruit to deal with crime in an area like the South and West sides of Chicago?
You are completely ignoring the wrongdoing of the people being arrested and the complete lack of respect for law enforcement by segments of the population. If a police officer even attempts to enforce the law nowadays the felons know to immediately file a complaint against the arresting officer.
Politicians have handcuffed the police by trying to gain favor with the 13% constituents and they have turned Democrat run big cities into war zones.

I find it odd that most cases of "police brutality" are against black people. It's really weird how these 'racist' cops are just racist towards black people.
It's also odd how black people seem to feel the need to resist arrest and ignore commands made by the police...it's almost as if blacks were given a different set of rules.

It is easier to claim that the justice system is systematically racist than to hold the people being arrested accountable for their actions.

There's plenty of non-MSM pop-up news sources that get posted here. The simple fact of the matter is that what that poster claimed happens doesn't happen. There is no conspiracy to keep it secret. Cops aren't scared to police for fear of being reported and when they are investigated are rarely disciplined.

That's changing, at least in Oregon. Seems like a couple of times a week there's a news story about cops being put on administrative leave for one thing or another. The former West Linn police chief was terminated last December for participating in a wrongful arrest of a black man who sued the city and was awarded a $600,000. settlement.

The guy in this story was fired years after a blatantly illegal investigation/arrest in which the arrested party won TWO lawsuits before the chief was removed. You don't see how this doesn't really apply to what was being discussed?

There frequent articles in the Oregonian of police being put on administrative leave and disciplined which are more current. This one has been an ongoing big deal here, specially in West Linn, which is why it came to mind. Sure, winning those lawsuits played a role in this because it brought the situation to the City Councilors attention. A $600,000 settlement does not go unnoticed in a small community like West Linn.
The most recent event I can think of is a policeman shooting and killing a homeless wacko in Lents Park.

This is a shooting death. ???
I did a quick google news search of police and administrative leave and all of the stories are about shootings or cops just getting arrested for committing crimes.
There is no epidemic of cops getting reprimanded just for being reported, and police aren't afraid to police for fear of being reported.
Those lawsuits didn't "play a role", they were the major factor. In the article you posted, it said the chief wasn't put on administrative leave until after the lawsuits concluded.
