You know what, no way is my memory this bad. This is probably more evidence of the Mandela Effect.

Meh, I'm probably just stupid but I do like to believe in things like simulation theory, aliens and the Mandela Effect

Watched the whole thing. They didn’t do anything wrong and this is nothing like the Floyd incident. This is actually how they are trained. That’s why there isn’t outrage over it

Too bad the guy died.

The George Floyd thing has made people more stupid.

People should know if they fight the cops they will lose.

Me ? Occasionally yes but mostly no.  Regardless.  I’m just letting you know that everything has changed. 

[UndertheHalo]

I’m pretty sure the last comic movie I saw was the last avengers.  It was fine.  Sort of up its own ass like all the Avengers movies. But fine.

Major city in liberal Calif. proposes highest-ever police budget

A California city is set to buck the "defund" trend as it plans to unveil its highest-ever police budget.

The proposed police budget is set just shy at $165.8 million, a roughly $9.4 million increase from last year’s amended budget.

Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan presented the new annual budget, which is set to start with the next fiscal year July 1. One notable item was the police budget, which has continued to grow year over year -- barring a small amendment last year to remove $1 million.

Sacramento had voted in October 2020 to push for "new approaches" to public safety, but the new budget covers a number of changes that would be necessary for general police reforms.

The budget covers a number of additions, including five new officers and necessary equipment, such as body cameras -- set at $1.6 million -- and IT infrastructures such as data storage, software and backup solutions -- coming in at $1.5 million.

The budget also proposes $880,740 for "less-than-lethal" equipment.

The mammoth new budget flies in defiance of a trend seen across the country, with at least 18 major cities reducing their police budgets over the past year.

However, 24 cities increased their police spending for fiscal 2021, as well, including Atlanta, Omaha and Phoenix.

Anti-ICE Portland rioters run wild, threaten officers

Portland protests on May Day devolved into a riot overnight when about 100 people engaged in "autonomous demonstrations" near an ICE facility and police made at least six arrests, including for one individual who allegedly was menacing officers with a knife.

The police took to Twitter to post several pictures of the damage to stores in the area. Three Starbucks had their windows shattered and a Hilton in the city was tagged with graffiti. Police also posted what appeared to be an instruction pamphlet on how to make a slingshot with a sling and a hammer.

Most Portland riot suspects will not be prosecuted: US attorney

David Bouchard admitted he put a Customs and Border Protection officer in a chokehold. Charles Comfort was indicted by a grand jury of civil disorder for twice charging at Portland Police Bureau officers and hitting them with a makeshift shield then kicking a third officer while being arrested. Both men faced federal charges stemming from their actions during a summer of more than 100 straight nights of often violent protests in Portland. But Bouchard and Comfort are among dozens of Portland federal arrestees whose cases were dismissed or are being deferred without so much as a day behind bars. 

Between May 25 and Oct. 7, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon filed federal charges against 97 people connected to the Portland unrest. Since then 58 of those cases have either been dismissed outright or are on track for dismissal through a deferred resolution agreement. Thirty-two cases are still pending, with many likely to also end in dismissal according to sources. Seven people have entered guilty pleas.
