Civil unrest in America

[wickedken]

Wow what's going on in Charlotte? Does there seem to be this narrative that black Americans are starting to act as a group on the systemic prejudice in their social systems? wtf and amaze.

 

[praktik]

Unclear whats happening right now in Charlotte - the live reports are quite crazy right now

 

[ndrwrld]

he was reading a book.
he had no gun.

That's what's happening in Charlotte.

retarded trigger happy cops.
racism.

It's almost like the Cops are pushing real hard just to see how pissed the people get ?

 

[praktik]

Everyone needs a certain set of basic priorities being met - its Maslow's heirarchy man!

If groups of people end up missing some of these, and endure insults and insecurity on top of having a Shittier Deal on housing/education/opportunity for too long - this kind of shit is gonna happen.

In extreme cases you get the French revolution - but on the back of all the over/covert systemic racism there's rising inequality in the background as a stress factor. 2008 probably didn't help in terms of setting the stage for today's troubles.

 

[wickedken]

thank dude and not only that, but i think it's getting bigger:

the global media messaging is starting to focus attention on the perceived racist systemic treatment of black americans.

is this where it gets bigger? is this where it starts?

 

[wickedken]

there is a crazy screen happening right now on Al Jazeera. Go to YouTube and watch the live stream.

 

[wickedken]

Wow AJ called it a
"national issue".

 

[praktik]

the global media messaging is starting to focus attention on the perceived racist systemic treatment of black americans. ?

Are you talking about how news organizations in other countries are picking up on the stories from journalists in america covering the protests and shooting incidents?

its a big story!

When farmers block highways in France we get coverage here too.

 

[wickedken]

Wow incredible. AJ just aired what Trump said about this.

another N.C. stream.

teargas !
flashbang grenades !
beanbags from shotguns !

 

[praktik]

You know who will have the moral authority and credibility to calm riotous black crowds?

President Trump, that's who.

 

[wickedken]

dude there's a different treatment to this. farm tractor protests don't get this level of attention. this is political unrest in the US.

 

[praktik]

ya exactly, so people are gonna pick it up, just naturally.

Teh fuck video are you watching. He got out of his car with a gun in his hand and was disobeying police orders. He was shot by a black cop.

There will always be race wars, just as there will always be resource wars on this planet. Even if we hadn't been fucking black and brown people forever, just naturally if they get the chance to wield power they will surely do it.

Look at what is going on in Africa to white farmers.

 

[wickedken]

what countries in africa?

Teh fuck video are you watching. He got out of his car with a gun in his hand and was disobeying police orders. He was shot by a black cop.

first of all, the cops were there to serve a warrant to someone completely different. wrong person.
they had zero rights to even ask him to drop said weapon.
Here, read this.
CMPD said Keith Lamont Scott had a gun. Was that reason enough to order him to drop it? | The Charlotte Observer
“Just based on them seeing the gun and nothing else, they don't have justification to detain him, for even briefly on whether he’s up to no good,”


It's just another story of cops shooting first while violating someone's Rights.
It's like being arrested, and going peacefully, but when they crank your arm behind your back, you flinch, and then they beat you senseless ( or choke you out ) screaming STOP RESISTING.

these protesters have every right to be pissed. destroying your own city, maybe not so much.

You don't have the right to wave a gun around ffs.

I'm not sure how exactly dense you have to be at this point to do this stupid shit when police are giving you orders. If there is something illegal going on, then just obey them until you get to court. How fucking hard is this? As a black man with a gun in your hand what are you thinking? You don't watch tv, or have the internet what?

My suspicion is that some of these cases are schemes by people sacrificing their lives to help their family out because there is always a nice payout after a cop involved shooting even if the cop is found not at fault.

Isn't this the contemporary version of a martyr? which might otherwise be proven to be otherwise deluded and not "rational"? like this guy who went to Afghanistan and "found religion" and then made 5+ IEDS he laid around the trip-state area?

does't that seem like a weird or really tough eventuality to arrive at?

When you are poor and desperate anything is possible.

 

[wickedken]

Looks like Charlotte has some nice LRT servicing their downtown.

he wasn't waving it around. he walked out of his car with it. never pointed it at anyone.
perfectly legal.

why don't you understand that ?
i guess you're cool with being racially profiled, stopped and carded, with zero reason ?

hey, i'm not a big fan about most of the gun laws in the US, but if the cops don't follow standard protocol, why is it so difficult to understand why normal people are afraid of them ?
It's his Constitutional right to do what he did...and the cop killed him.

If there is something illegal going on, then just obey them until you get to court. How fucking hard is this?
