It doesn't help that the media's most lucrative approach is overrepresenting material that is most likely to generate the most outrageso you're saying it's better not to see this stuff. out of sight out of mind.
so you're saying it's better not to see this stuff. out of sight out of mind.

Because she's 73 she's allowed to steal and not get arrested? If she was a sweet little old lady she wouldn't take things which don't belong to her. She's probably been a thieving shit bag her whole life.She has dementia and sensory aphasia, you can tell she’s out of it when getting roughed up she just keeps repeating “I’m going home”.

She offered to pay when confronted by store employees but they refused and called the police on her.
Being tough on crime is one thing, but dislocating a shoulder and breaking bones of a 70 odd year old with dementia isn’t how you achieve that.
Great post - although I can't rule out her being a thieving shit-bag like Tapeworm suggested. Full disclosure: I have not watched the video yet. I just find it annoying when people are assumed to be victims just by being in Group XYZ. For example, when I was a boy, I thought that White male police officers were hunting down Black men for sport. Wind the clock forward to today, and I now see that each year, Black men kill other Black men at Guinness record numbers [I'm not complaining] while most White people are just minding their own business.
VICTIM VICTIM VICTIM.
It just gets annoying.
Exactly. When the cops killed Floyd Mayweather by kneeling on him, everyone retrospectively justified it by pointing to the fact that he was a violent criminal. This pilfering old picaroon probably had half the shop up her ass. Personally, I'd have shot her if she didn't stop after my first warning.No you wouldn't.
Mobs burning cities, beating people and robbing stores...Funk... no outrage. Crickets.I've never condoned it on either side of the aisle, if you saw some of my earlier posts on the subject I recommended that the police should shoot the rioters with paint, to make it easier to sort them out at the cops leisure.

He's saying that our [Jewish-owned] media cherry-picks that which fits their agenda.
That's why you know who Adolf is, but have no idea who Lazar Kaganovich is.
I thought police body cams would make things better, and that people would get a better sense of proportion of the fact that White police officers are 18.5 times as likely to get shot by Black men than Black men are to get shot by White Male police officers. Instead, we have cases like George Floyd's death causing mass riots, while Black-on-Black murder remains the #1 cause of death of young Black males.
That being said, bullshit narratives fall apart overnight. Whereas when I was a child, people believed the Rodney King narrative for years. People STILL riot over bullshit narratives - but the ones rioting are looking increasingly more insane.
EDITED TO ADD: the Jewish character of our media was something I sad, not DanM [before anyone comments on that]. What I'm saying Dan is saying is that the media is agenda-driven, basically. I think I interpreted him correctly on that. As to the specifics of that agenda, those are my own, and I don't want to put words in Dan's mouth, or anyone else's. And Dan speaks well enough for himself. We do see an overrepresentation of certain things in the news on some topics, and an underrepresentation on others. Wind the clock back ten years, and we never heard about transgender issues, for example.
Also, back to the topic of this thread, given how paranoid people acted due to COVID, I'm surprised there aren't many more examples like this. In Canada, an elderly man was shot for not wearing a mask last year. ::) The same people saying they would "never be a Nazi", or obey an authoritarian government are the same people doing on the hysterical things like that. It's outrageous.
THIS!everyone has an agenda, even on here getbig the last bastion of freedom left in this country. so sad.
Media can easily control our young ones, what information is released and not.
Easily pushing agendas.

At what point would you guys ok the use of force on this thief?
Maybe after he follows her home and spends three days helping her with her living arrangements? Fix her roof and clean out her basement. But not if she keeps repeating, "I'm baking a carrot cake. I'm baking a carrot cake." Or can you just never overpower an old lady who won't agree to being arrested? If she's sufficiently frail, she's above the law.
Added to People You Can't Arrest And Must Call A Social Worker For: Anyone black. Guest Workers. Indigenours. Little old ladies who were at Woodstock and repeat themselves. Pretty much everyone except white males who work and pay others not to.
Affirm the entitlement of the helpless. It's the right thing to do. It's where we are. As a society.
When she becomes a danger to the public or the police officer. I mean it’s a simple notion, why not address the injuries that copper inflicted on that old woman?
Are you suggesting the choice is either cause serious injury to a vulnerable 73 old with dementia or do nothing? Fucks sake, his job is to serve the public. This a vulnerable citizen who should’ve been helped, not fucked up, so instead of snatching her phone of her throwing it to the ground and the pile-driving her Hulk Hogan style, use it to try and find out who her family is and contact them. It’s closer to his job to help her than it is to snap one of her arm bones and dislocate her shoulder.
Complete gibberish.
Complete gibberish.
Quite a refutation. Didn't know I had the Captain of the Debate Team on my hands.
There's a trend these days that 'helpless people' get a pass for breaking the law. You're saying that's gibberish while arguing that grandma should get a pass because she's helpless. Am I being trolled here?
No. When someone steals shit, they get arrested. If you want to call a social worker or a psychologist afterwards, fine. But steal, get arrested. Same rules for everyone.
But we don't have the same rules for everyone. There are different rules for people from different groups. The more disadvantaged you are, the less the rules apply. This is where we have come to as a society here on Earth, during your apparent Mars Mission.

no, you're reading it wrong. cops come on scene every one looting and vandalizing gets hit with paint. cops arrest as many as they can on scene, the rest they can easily identify because they are covered with paint. the same principle as the exploding dye packs used for bank robberies. this would have worked well for the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Just so I get this right....
Your suggestion is to fight looting, beatings, arson and rioting with "paint" ... so cops can "sort them out" .... at their "leisure" AKA never.
I'm sure if it was your stuff in your neighborhood and your family you wouldn't see it that way.
Society is where it's at due to approx 50 years of liberal "progress". You have been voting for this result your whole life.

Overrepresented in what way?

No. You’re trying to simplify the event until any discussion is meaningless. It’s a very obvious and very dishonest way of debating what happened.
She wasn’t just arrested though was she, she got a pasting over nothing whatsoever. A vulnerable person should be treated in a different way than a person in ful control of their faculties if they are not an immediate threat to people’s safety. This lady in question walks out of a store without paying for something, gets challenged by store employees as she’s leaving, apologises and offers to pay, the store employees refuse and call the police, they then apprehend her and give her a good hiding.
So let me ask you, what good has come from this, your one size fits all treatment of anyone suspected of committing a crime, no matter how small?
The store employees look like girls, a 73 year old woman with dementia got the shit kicked out her, the cops might lose their jobs and the police department has a law suit filed against it for the incident. All this over 13 dollars worth of tat from fucking Walmart.
Have you been drinking?

I've already agreed with you that he shouldn't have injured her but I don't have a problem with him using force and pain compliance to effect an arrest she's trying to walk away from.Ok Judge Dredd, using force and pain compliance, fucking pain compliance! ;D on confused 73 old for being confused and walking away.
Whether or not she is responsible for her actions is a question for the court. The cop's job is to arrest her, even if she'd rather not be arrested.
I'm not sure what your position is here. You seem to be denying that she stole anything and it was all a big misunderstanding, but if she did steal then no one is allowed to do anything about it because she's frail.
You're willing to give her a pass for misbehavior and I'm not. There we are.

??? they still rob the banks in the States ::)
Overrepresented, as in given much more attention by the media than statistically they deserve. Simply because it will outrage people and get them to engage
In capitalist America bank rob you.
One annoyance is that a few large conglomerates own the majority of the media which means one news story gets a ton of exposure. If you follow the media using a variety of sources you realize you keep seeing the same article over and over and over again...sometimes word for word. What looks like a lot of coverage really isn't.
In capitalist America bank rob you.
Why do you think it is they focus on what they do instead of a more nuanced, cohesive narrative
