Racist America !!!

Tell me about your time in the USSR. I'm sure you have some personal stories about waiting in bread lines and paying top dollar for smuggled blue jeans from the USA. You are assuming to know more because you read it in a book. I read books too. Not sure you have a point.

Tax is part of society. Can you name one example of a tax free society in the 21st century. The only examples are when people were not connected. Yeah there is a country but no one can police anything and because there is no national highways, healthcare etc, you only really have your own town and farm. Right wing people in general try to apply life in 1850 as if it applies in 2020. Your views are so bad they can't even be tried.

I thought taxes were stealing too when i was 15. I smoked a lot of pot and felt woke because I listened to these guys. Then I grew up and actuly learned what economics are beyond the idea that I don't like part of my check taken from me.

 

New video shows Ahmaud Arbery chased for 4 minutes by father and son who shot him: lawyer

So he may have been stopping by the construction site to get a drink of water.

 

Although I wasn’t in the USSR, I did live several months in a soviet satellite state though. Long after it was liberated. During my time there actually spoke with the people there and made friends with those who have first hand experiences with the governmental system you fetishize about.

But of course, those people know nothing and you know everything because you went to college. Ain’t that right?

 

I have no doubt in my mind that this dude was just killed because he was a black guy.

Was he a thief? Maybe.
Was he a shoplifter, who cares I dont own the store..
Did he smoke weed? probably hell yeah right on..
Listen to rap music? Hell yeah..
Get pulled over before. What relevance does that have on anything?

Was he murdered?
Absolutely.
He was a high as fuck kid snooping around an empty house.. Said that he' knew there was water there and was getting a drink. (Ive no seen that, but okay..

Again dont care he's running down the road carrying a power tool in each hand.
Ya dont go killing people over some theft of shit they dont even own in the first place.

He lunged at them. He had every right to ..
A couple of nuts in the road with guns--
Who does that?

 

Yeah this dude was basically stalking the guy. Tho Im not sure AA is aware this person is involved.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

A news conference with the GBI is expected Friday morning at 9 a.m.

Be there or be square

 

the gang bang institute?

 

Georgia Bureau of Investigation

 

damn, that sounds even more dangerous than my guess.

 

Fast forward to 11:15 ...............

 

Poetic justice !!! - I have no sympathy for her whatsoever !!!


White Woman Fired From Job After Calling Police On Black Man In Central Park
In a racist incident gone viral, Amy Cooper called the police on Christian Cooper, claiming there was “an African American man threatening my life”.

Amy Cooper, the white woman who called the police on a Black man in Central Park over the weekend as seen in a now-viral video, was fired on Tuesday.

Cooper’s employer, Franklin Templeton, announced on Twitter that it made the decision to terminate her after conducting an internal review of the incident in the park, adding: “We do not tolerate racism of any kind.”


The asset management firm had placed Cooper on administrative leave late Monday during its investigation.

Following our internal review of the incident in Central Park yesterday, we have made the decision to terminate the employee involved, effective immediately. We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton.

Earlier on Monday, Christian Cooper (no relation to Amy) posted a video on Facebook of Amy Cooper calling the police on him after he reportedly asked her to place her dog on its leash. They were in an area called the Ramble, where off-leash dogs are not permitted.

In the video, Amy Cooper threatens to call the cops, saying: “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life.” She then places the call, repeatedly identifying Christian Cooper, who is Black, as an “African American man” and saying he was recording and “threatening” her.

Cooper, who is a board memberof the conservation group the Audubon Society and was birding in the park at the time, said in his Facebook post that Amy Cooper’s “inner Karen fully emerged and took a dark turn.”

As HuffPost’s Zeba Blay wrote, when Amy Cooper called the police, she “knew exactly what she was doing” by wielding the power of law enforcement, which has a long racist history in the United States of unjust killings of Black people.

Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm

Amy Cooper apologised on Monday, telling NBC News that her behaviour was “unacceptable.”

In turn, Christian Cooper told CNN on Tuesday that if her apology was “genuine” and “if she plans on keeping her dog on a leash in the Ramble going forward, then we have no issues with each other”.

The Audubon Society said in a statement on Tuesday that the outdoors “should be safe and welcoming for all people.”

“Black Americans often face terrible daily dangers in outdoor spaces, where they are subjected to unwarranted suspicion, confrontation, and violence,” Rebeccah Sanders, senior vice president of Audubon, said. “We unequivocally condemn racist sentiments, behaviour, and systems that undermine the humanity, rights, and freedom of Black people. We are grateful Christian Cooper is safe. He takes great delight in sharing New York City’s birds with others.”

 

And yet anotjher example of American racism !!!


'I Can't Breathe': Man Dies After Minneapolis Police Officer Seen Kneeling On His Neck
Video captured by a bystander shows the officer pressing his knee into the neck of a Black man handcuffed on the ground.

The FBI is investigating a Black man’s death after bystander video recorded on Monday showed a Minneapolis police officer pressing his knee into the handcuffed man’s neck as he shouted that he couldn’t breathe.


Police did not immediately authenticate the video, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Tuesday that he believed what he saw in the clip and characterised the officer’s actions as “wrong on every level.”

The bystander video, which has been widely circulated on social media, shows the officer, who appears to be white, pinning the man face-down on the street.

In the clip, the man is heard pleading with the officer.

“Please man, I can’t breathe,” he says.

The man repeats the phrase again and again: “I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe.”

Within minutes, the man closes his eyes and stops speaking. The officer appears to keep his knee on the man’s neck, even as onlookers begin shouting for police to attend to him. A second officer is shown nearby, looking in the direction of onlookers.

“Get off of him!” one woman is heard shouting.

“Bro, he’s not fucking moving!” another bystander shouts. “Get off of his neck!”

(Note: A still image from early in the video, before the man in custody stops moving, is below.)

Video captured by a bystander appears to show a Minneapolis police officer pressing his knee into the neck of a handcuffed Black man.
Officers called for an ambulance but the man died shortly after arriving at a hospital, the Minneapolis Police Department said in a press release. Police did not release the man’s identity, but said they believed he was in his 40s.

The two officers had arrived at the scene in response to a reported “forgery in progress,” the police statement said. The suspect, police said, was in a car and appeared to be under the influence. He “physically resisted” officers, police said.

“Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress,” the statement said.

The press release stated that no weapons were used during the encounter. It did not mention that an officer had pinned the man to the street and had put his knee on the man’s neck prior to his death.

The police department said an investigation was underway. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and FBI would be included, police noted without elaboration.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a statement that it will present its findings without recommendation to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for review. The agency said it would share its findings with the FBI, which is conducting a separate federal civil rights investigation.

The FBI did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Video recorded by officers’ body cameras, which were turned on during the encounter, is being reviewed as part of the investigation, police said.

The officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to the police department. Their names haven’t been publicly released.

“He should not have died,” Mayor Frey said on Tuesday. “What we saw was horrible, completely and utterly messed up. ... Whatever the investigation reveals, it does not change the simple truth that he should be with us this morning.”

“Being Black in America should not be a death sentence,” Frey continued. “When you hear someone calling for help, you are supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic human sense.”

A protest against police violence has been planned for Tuesday night at the intersection where the incident occurred. Frey said he supported the right of community members to express their anger, but encouraged protesters to social distance and wear masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Social media users noted similarities in the man’s death and that of Eric Garner, an unarmed Black man who died in 2014 after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer.

“I can’t breathe,” Garner said repeatedly before he died.
