    Considering how many have been thrashed in the last few days yes it's highly likely they are using unmarked cars

    Nothing sinister

    I think the unmarked car is one of the least disturbing aspects of that video. Don't they need to tell the parents where they are taking their kid?

    And on top of not telling them where the child is being taken "if you follow us you will get shot, understand me?"

    >a campaign manager for Communist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

    I'd take that with a pinch of salt

    Which part? That the guy is a campaign manager or that Bernie is a Communist?

    Because Bernie sure ain't no Communist, he's a sell out bootlicking whore who bows to the Capitalists pretty much exactly like Antifa.

    And on top of not telling them where the child is being taken "if you follow us you will get shot, understand me?"

    Exactly this, it's open to abuse were your family/friends have zero idea of what just happened, who was involved, where you are off to. Squad cars have identies numbers that tie them to people using them at the time.. pretty disturbing. Hopefully nothing though

    Also the supreme court in New York has given permission to NYPD to hold people indefinitely, the law in New York is you've to be processed within 24hrs and the judge has sided with "internment" for now because of covid19.

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/06/05/deeply-disturbing-new-york-supreme-court-judge-rules-protesters-can-be-detained

    Pretty big step here.

    Well this is f*cked, in a city where they have been tear gassing protesters after curfew, the police are also tipping off far right and heavily armed Proud Boys before they do it and how to avoid it.

    "My command wanted me..."

    Unmarked cars are used daily to transport arrested individuals a shot edited video is nothing,we don't see the start ,middle and end of what exactly happened and why ,
    It's also pretty common for people screaming are illegally arresting a child when in fact the person getting arrested isn't a child .

    Lies.

    They didn’t confiscate the dog, she gave it up voluntarily to be evaluated, everything was fine with her, and she was given back to her.

    Ah okay

    That's not true .

    There is delays nobody is being held "indefinitely"

    Well it is “indefinitely,” the limit on their incarceration is not defined?

    They'd usually be assisted with marked cars. Two family wagons and the people who are showing concern her are being threatened with being shot if they follow.

    For me it's strange, hopefully it's nothing.

    Bordering in parody at this point: https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/04/borenstein-police-siccing-dog-on-black-george-floyd-protester-excessive/
    Malott had thrown a tear gas canister back at police as they were trying to clear the entrance ramp. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and resisting/obstructing an officer.

    The weapon was the tear gas canister that police has previously thrown his way, which if it was truly deadly raises serious questions about why police were using it in the first place for crowd control. But, beyond that, photos from the scene and accounts from our reporter, Annie Sciacca, show that using dogs was not only a tone-deaf response, it was excessive.

    So are the police a) making up false charges, or b) using actual deadly weapons for crowd control methods (despite so many claims that tear, gas is not that from various police departments over the last two weeks)?

    It has to be one or the other.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,042 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    How many white birdwatchers state ‘I’m gonna do something you aren’t gonna like’ while beckoning someone’s dog towards them??
    Lies.

    They didn’t confiscate the dog, she gave it up voluntarily to be evaluated, everything was fine with her, and she was given back to her.

    So you were referring to this video, as if woman had every right to feel threatened by the black guy asking her to put her dog back on its collar?

    Being how many marked cars have been destroyed it's safe to say they will be using whatever they can get there hands on .

    Like those who posted about fake Garda car at petrol stations and shops because they weren't white or Hyundais so they were fake , despite the announcement the Garda were given fleet vehicles to carry out community assistance roles during covid .


    Now American cops are kidnapping teenagers any update on the real story ?

    Interesting things are happening at the NYT. They published Senator Tom Cotton’s “Send In the Troops” op-ed which they later apologized for and said they regret.

    That was because 160 employees planned a 'virtual walk out'.
    https://twitter.com/jonathanvswan/status/1268853068470329345

    It has been publishing intersectional dogma for years, now they want to control the narrative entirely.

    What they did to Evergreen, they are now doing to the NYT.

    The same happened to the new Atheism movement. Same thing with gamer-gate.

    Tim Pool's story.

    Is a virtual walk out like a digital strike while using smart phones and tablets to post on twitter about being on digital and virtual strike..



    This generation is lost beyond hope

    Most of them are fresh out of college and recently graduated in 'grievance studies'. The rest they guilt into their 'cause'.
    Dozens of Times employees objected to the Op-Ed on social media, despite a company policy that instructs them not to post partisan comments or take sides on issues. Many of them responded on Twitter with the sentence, “Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger.”

    Think its just because they are working remotely. Facebook did something similar the other day


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,420 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    are they 'walking out' because it wasn't censored, or because NYT apologised ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭2u2me

    Fascist screed apparently contained within.
    This week the NYT printed Tom Cotton’s fascist screed and turned down my op ed about photo-journalist Linda Tirado’s loss of vision in her left eye to a rubber bullet in Mpls. Just a coincidence, I’m sure .

    This always happens at the most liberal institutions. Remember new atheist movement anybody?

    What does this even mean?

    Takes a strange mind to see people collectively having some moral fortitude to disagree with someone calling for an overwhelming show of force against people exercising their right as a bad thing.

    Same sort of BS when young people call for positive action in terms of the environment. More wailing and gnashing of teeth from some who never thought of helping any one other than themselves.

    NFL officially admit they were wrong about the anthem protests a few years ago (they effectively banned players from doing so).

    https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1269034074552721408

    If only they had listened at at the time, but still better late than never. I guess sometimes escalation is needed to get people to pay attention and admit fault.

    What happened exactly, some people disagreed with anthem protest? How does this lead to what we are seeing today.

    There was blood pouring from his ear, a clear sign of a basal skull fracture. And they walked past him like he wasn't even there. They deserved to be demonised for that.

    If there's blood coming out of the ear it is likely NOT to be a Basilar Skull Fracture. Blood pooling behind the skin ie "haemotypanum" "raccoon eyes" and "battles sign" are the clear signs of this type of injury.

    Do you even know the treatment for this type of fracture? To enlighten you it's conservative management. Not sure what miracles you were expecting the cops to perform

    But players continued to kneel during the national anthem including this year?

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/29/eric-reid-national-anthem-protest-knee-nfl-colin-kaepernick

    So they didn't effectively ban players protesting did they?

    I suppose all anyone can do when someone suffers blunt force trauma to the head is advise that they see a specialist within the next few days. No point doing anything else is there. Ideally the specialist will travel to see them where they fell and lay so that no one else has to do anything in the mean time.

    Prime example of how the liberal media ignore context to stoke their race-baiting agenda.
