Armed protesters peacefully march on Oklahoma Governor's Mansion

Between 150 and 200 protesters peacefully marched from the Ralph Ellison Library to the Governor's Mansion on Saturday to deliver a double-barreled message. “We aren’t going to allow people to come…

I'd love to see the CNN propaganda version of this if they were white.

I've always thought that armed poor communities would better drive the gangs and drug dealers out of the community. Makes me wonder if the political parties of leadership in these communities approve of the gangs and drug dealers as allies to keep themselves in power.

I don't wonder. I'm pretty sure that it's how things are

No question about it.

The leadership in Seattle appeared to be in disarray on Friday after the city's embattled mayor called the protesters who took over an "autonomous zone" in the city "patriotic" while the official who ordered police to flee the nearby precinct has refused to come forward. Despite the fact that police cannot gain full access to the police station, Durkan tried to downplay the situation on the ground. She claimed that Trump was wrong to call the protesters "domestic terrorists



."

✔ @MayorJenny


It's clear @realDonaldTrump doesn’t understand what’s happening on five square blocks of our City. Cal Anderson and Capitol Hill has for decades been a place for free speech, community, and self expression.



Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan — a Democrat, in case you had to ask — took to Twitter on Sunday night to deal with an issue that was really chafing at her: The white men involved in the rioting and looting she was seeing:

I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men.

“I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men,” she tweeted.

These individuals experience the height of privilege and are co-opting peaceful demonstrations that were organized by and meant to center people of color, particularly Black Americans.

I was able to get to it.

And it is yet another claim of "systemic racism" in the police forces.


"Community organizer Michael Washington was among the speakers who said the march was a response to the recent killings of Black men by police as well as local cases they want reopened. "

"Demands included the reopening of the C.J. Pettit Jr. case, state laws that hold law enforcement officers accountable when they are found to be at fault in any incident of police activity, police officers be required to carry their own liability insurance, and an investigation into the United States for human rights violations of its Black population by the International World Court. "

The first two "demands" seem reasonable.

The third? "police officers carry their own liability insurance"? THat will drive many police officers out of their jobs.
The fourth? "investigation into the United States...by the International World Court"? FUCK NO. I'm not having my Country invaded and told what to do by some milksop pansy-assed anti-gun parasite trying to remake our Country into yet another socialist utopia.

Actually the liability insurance thing would be a major boon for the good cops.

They would have to have a massive pay boost to afford it. People who can keep their premiums low would see a significant increase in their take home pay at the end of the day.

$400k/yr salary wouldn't suck if you can keep your premiums to $100k.

Or they would stop policing to make sure their premiums stay low. Not interactions, no complaints.....

So, no policing that isn't necessary to keep their jobs ?

You say that like it's a bad thing ?

 

[Xae289]

Amazing how peaceful a heavily armed protest with a genuine desire to maintain the peace can be. I may disagree with some of their points, but not the way they went about their protest.

As for liability insurance for cops leading to "no policing that isn't necessary to keep their jobs"... I think the reality is that it's more likely for the police to avoid calls that carry any risk of going sideways at all and only policing petty crime. Put differently, they avoid situations where they'd actually be needed and stick to harrassing people over petty BS where there's almost no risk of anything "complicated" occurring. After all, the government isn't going to start accepting liability for failing to stop a mass shooting just because the police now have personal liability for doing something wrong on their end.

Why is it that these people only care about one type of killing? Why do none of them seem bothered by all the Black on black murder in the shithole cities?

WHY???

The brutal death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers has sparked protests and riots around the United States. We have witnessed humanity at its finest and at its ugliest. Citizens of faraway nations have expressed solidarity with black Americans; police officers have...

I’m so confused right now. I see signs all over saying black lives matter. I’m just trying to figure out which black lives matter. It can’t be the unborn black babies. They are destroyed without a second thought. It’s not black cops. They don’t seem to matter. It’s not my black conservative friends. They are told to shut the **** up if they know what’s best for them by their black counterparts. It’s not black business owners. Their property does not mean anything. It’s not blacks who fought in the military. Their statues are destroyed by the black lives matter protesters with disdain. So which black lives matter again?

I can’t keep up. I just can’t. I’m exhausted trying to figure out what we’re all supposed to do, believe, and be offended and outraged by next.
Two months ago, First Responders were all the rage. In fact, they were heroes. We gave them free coffee, meals, and cheers as they drove by.Today we hate them and want them de-funded because they can’t be trusted.

Two months ago, truck drivers were the heroes, as well, for keeping America moving and the grocery stores stocked. Today we block the roads with protesters, drag them out of the cabs and beat them half to death.

Nurses and Doctors are still cool for now. But they may be unemployed. They too are heroes, unless of course they truly believe all lives matter. Then they’re filled with hate and are part of problem like so many others.

Just 45 days ago protests weren’t “essential” and were considered criminal, selfish and a murderous activity. Today they are gloriously critical and celebrated. All of the obvious criminal and murderous activities are simply ignored. If you protest about lock downs for freedom, you are selfish and you will spread a virus. If you protest, loot, and riot for social justice, you are a warrior and the virus cedes.
Trust the experts. No, not those experts. Don’t wear masks ... wear masks, but only good ones. Wait, don’t wear masks, wear anything as a mask. Never-mind on the masks. Not sure, but if you don’t, you hate people because you could be an asymptomatic spreader. Wait. That's not a thing anymore?

For 3 months, NOTHING was more important than social distance. In fact, we gave up all of our liberties for it. We canceled schools, medical and dental procedures, yet allowed the murder of babies, canceled activities, closed businesses, eliminated every spring rite of passage from prom to graduation, denied people funerals, even at Arlington, and we wrecked the economy for it. Then came social justice, and social distance was no more. Now things are more cut and dry though. A thousand people at three memorials for someone they never even met. It's a matter of "respect". But you can only assemble 100 or less people.

Black Lives Matter. Of course they do. Then multiple black police officers and individuals were killed during the “peaceful protests”. I don’t see any outrage. Black individually owned businesses burned to the ground. Silence. Deadliest weekend in Chicago. NOTHING!!
I’m really confused now. Look at the data, NO, not that data. Do the math. No, you can’t do the math like that. Only the experts can understand the data and math. What do you mean other cities/states/governors are interpreting the data differently? Pools are safe in Indiana, but not Michigan? Playgrounds are safe in your town but not mine? Amusement parks are safe in Florida but not Ohio, nor Michigan.
Just listen to the black community leaders. No, not them.

If you are silent you are part of the problem. If you speak, you are part of the problem. If you have to ask, you don’t understand. If you don’t ask, you don’t care.

It’s all so predictable, tedious, and exhausting. Nothing adds up. It’s one gigantic common core Math life problem, with ever changing denominators that I’m sure the media and politicians are eagerly ready to solve for us....until the next "crisis".

So for now I pray. I pray God will heal our land and bless the United States of America.

Its not easy to understand but I have been noticing a trend with the protesters/rioters.
About 20% of them truly believe they are doing the right thing. Just as strongly as we believe they are doing the wrong thing.
The other 80% are just in it for the fun of destoying and getting high.
I saw video from inside CHAZ that showed hundreds of people sitting on the streets fadding out from shooting heroin and hundreds more getting drunk, high and just having a good time.
The loyal 20% are getting tired of the other 80%, hence all the violence inside their ranks.
I believe of all this crap our biggest problem is that BLM is now a political party, a political party that you cannot and WILL NOT criticize.
Like the Nazis and the Communist parties, you will be eliminated at the first sign of decent.
The politicians, including the Republicans, will be destroyed on social media if they oppose one single thought of BLM.
Beyond the riots and looting, BLM is becoming seriously organized and grooming political candidates to put up.
Their political stance is very attractive to young voters who are our future.
If BLM can put up politicians but cannot be criticized in any way, we have no chance to beat them.
I fear that soon the Republicans and Democrats may have to work together to keep any small pieces of our country from the radical left and BLM.
Their long game is to make whites the minority and slowly eliminate them.
As for me.....im done.
The politicians I thought may be able to stand up to this take over are saying nothing and doing less.
So, Im going to concentrate on my family and my property. I refuse to give into terrorists and will make my last stand if need be.
