@Rico these are the people you're supporting, right?

This one was from the first night.  Jennifer here was stabbing people. Darwin award winner like the dude with the sword.

Not saying it's right, but they stupid.

I still think knee on the neck cop is responsible for contributing to the heart attack. Fentanyl is nasty stuff though. Just ask Skaggs

Sure but do you really think you can get a murder conviction when a guy had a heart attack, was drunk and on hard drugs?

I think that's the thing.  You now have reasonable doubt for a murder conviction.  

But the independent autopsy is probably enough for a civil conviction.  

Either way, we are probably going to go through this shit again, like the second wave of the Rona.

The jury just needs to allow the officer to take one for the team...

"A man who struggled with deputies while holding a replica gun died after the deputies shot him in Lancaster on Friday evening, officials said Saturday."

This was not protest-related. 

[Rico]

Ok. Thanks.

Just a heads up so you dudes don't waste time. All the videos I clicked on in the last hour give an error and I don't think we are able to view them. I keep getting this:

I've always had issues with Twit.  Probably my ad blockers or something.  I usually have to open in new window the date portion, and it'll open up Twit and I can see the videos.

I sometimes get the problem on my phone. You can try clicking on the video area again until it loads or click on the text part and it will take you to the Twitter page.

LAPD officers take a knee to show solidarity with protesters

https://abc7.com/video/embed/?pid=6225888 

Quote

On Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Commander Cory Palka got on a megaphone and spoke with protesters who surrounded him.

"If I take a knee with you guys will you give me your verbal acknowledgement that this is a peaceful rally," Palka asked the protesters.

They cheered and shouted and chanted "Take a knee, take a knee."

Quote

"Within the next 30, 40 minutes if you peacefully go out and return to where you came from, I give you my commitment and honor that you will not see police officers in front of you. Fair enough?"

About an hour later, as a county-wide curfew took effect, most of the protesters had cleared out.

Yeah, I don't have any. I don't have a Twitter account and thought that might be it, but see the lagged loading time when I try to go direct and think it's their site.

I really wanted to see the Boost Mobile video because I knew what was going to happen.

How much booze do I need to bring to fix this Packard Bell?

This was the coolest thing I read today.

https://arizonasports.com/story/2303406/punter-marquette-king-brings-phoenix-together-to-clean-up-after-protests/

For the short attention span types, this Phoenix resident and former Raiders punter put out a Tweet that he was going downtown to clean up and anyone was free to join him. Sounds like about 20 people came out to pick up debris, trash, and help scrub off graffiti. The videos are really cool.

My current town has a rally planned for Sunday. Interested to see how the crowd interacts with the rv park. The only looting targets are an antique shop and funeral home. They have a 3 mile walk to my house. Probably grab a few beers and put up a new flag. 

[Jason]

I’d like to see him fuck one of them up

I'd shoot for the White Aryan Resistance, if it was me.

Are you guys going to let the Taco Johns burn down?
