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 all the hysterical things like that. It's outrageous.

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.

Thanks. It's not a pleasant watch tbf, and I wouldn't watch it unless you want to get pissed off. She might've been a thieving shit-bag, but she wasn't, and at the time of the incident the police officer had no knowledge of that and went straight in and caused serious injury to a vulnerable 70 odd year not offering any resistance.

Subsequent video's released show the coppers making light of it and that when taken into custody they didn't get medical attention for her dislocated shoulder and broken arm bone, for over 1/2 hour and were filmed sat around laughing at the footage and talking about it before they sought medical attention for her (I think, it's been a week since I've seen them and don't particularly want to watch them again).

The soft on crime thing gets done to death on here and I've no problem wanting violent criminals getting punished severely for their actions, but an assault on a vulnerable 70+ year old by someone paid to protect exactly this kind of person is particularly disgusting.

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.

A society where 'mostly peaceful' racist hate groups burn cities.
A society where a brain dead gimp is POTUS (perv of the us).
A society where they cover-up hate crimes against white folks and say all are nazi/racists.
A society where dems want child-sex legalized (and w/ animals).
A society where they think there are no genders.
A society where PTUS's kid rapes underage girls, and photos and info was hidden from brain-dead public.
A society where they make a drugged-violent criminal a national hero.

On and on. Demi-kvnts are truly disturbed and brainless.

Easily pushing agendas.

A lot of the media agenda backfires. There are plenty of videos of orthodox Jews being beaten up by Blacks as well as average citizens, that happen to be Jewish, caught up in anti-White attack by Blacks.
-------------------

If someone is non-media and gets off pushing the media's anti-White agenda, keep in mind that, although you may get an awesome feeling inside when you promote any anti-White material, this can hurt the last people you want to hurt and maybe even yourself. No anti-White "person of color", brought up on anti-White media propaganda, is going to give you a DNA or genealogy test to make sure you're not a protected people before they bash your skull in. Not only that, but people already associate disproportionate anti-White stories with people you may, in theory, want to protect but, in reality, you bring more hate on them because you're magnifying their hate against Whites by spreading their hateful propaganda against Whites beyond what they are already doing.

These types of behavior make up less than 1% of our population.

This is not "where we are" as a society.

This is "where we are" as a society that craves negativity over positivity.

This is what negative news coverage looks like. Where are all the good Cop videos? There are thousands on youtube, but never posted on the "news". Why is that?

There are millions of Police that dress up every day and do a good job.

You get a few hundred bad apples and people think all Cops are bad.

There are 320+ million people in this country. When you let the actions of a few thousand dictate your thoughts on American's, you're not woke, you're retarded.

She has dementia. And to a somewhat-intelligent cop it would be obvious something is off. Take her home, or allow her to walk home, and go from there.

Pretzelling a senior woman and wrestling her about wasn’t a great choice.

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.

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.

Ok, how about he can arrest her for the crime she committed and use the amount of force required to do so provided he doesn't injure her? I'll agree he ought to be able to handle a grandma without injuring her.

It’s complete gibberish that you’re saying that there’s a massive long list of people that includes everyone apart from white males that can’t be arrested and in that list you included the elderly woman in question. No one has said she blanket shouldn’t be arrested for committing crimes, people are disgusted with the way the police officer handled the situation. And the way he handled the situation was body slamming her to the ground, breaking one of the bones in her arm, dislocating one of her shoulders, taking her down to the cells, then leaving her, without medical attention while he and his colleagues laughed and joked about what they did.

Why do you have an issue with the police calling for social workers when they are dealing with vulnerable people, wouldn’t you agree a social worker handling the situation would be better than having the cop do it?

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 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.

I'm sure if it was your stuff in your neighborhood and your family you wouldn't see it that way.

   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.

Nope, I had it right. Your answer is to put paint on them to ID them. There is already plenty of video of people doing the crimes, haha.

This would be like putting more red paint on the Red Coats to identify them.

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.

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.

Funk would probably recommend spray paint on this guy as well.  ::)

The real crime is this guy only faces two counts of assault when it was obviously more than that with a piece of cement block.

BUT defund the cops and take away guns in the liberal haven that is Baltimore. GTFO!!!

I wonder what the charges would be if a white guy were the culprit?

   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.

 ??? they still rob the banks in the States  ::)

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.

Nope, give them depleted Uranium bullets  ;)

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

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.

Why do you think it is they focus on what they do instead of a more nuanced, cohesive narrative

Whatever brings in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is what the media focuses on. It's a business and like any other business it needs to make a profit to survive.
