Hence why justice is a process, not an outcome.

Yikes. Bammer, it was a slight joke based on my original post about this incident having watched a poor quality video and not been aware of the knife and how LeBron may have been guilty of the same thing.

In other news: Maine leads the way!

Did you not watch the same video linked in this thread? It’s pretty clear.

In other news (haven’t read your link yet): Maybe the police should just stop responding to calls for like a week. See how everyone likes that.

We shouldn't apologize for some idiot reaction from Lebron. He has a humongous following on social media. People just need to stfu for a few minutes before rushing to confirm their biases in order to get some internet points.

This isn’t news and it’s probably the most ridiculous, least thought out take in the whole thread.

To some extent we see this happening already in SFO and NYC, right? Baltimore appears to be signing up as well.*


*not the establishment of Bammer Autonomous Zones, but reduced enforcement scoping for police

I wish people would focus on the fact that having too many laws, too many police, and too much discretion over which laws to selectively enforce is a major contributor to all of these issues. Sign me up for reduced enforcement, even if decriminalization and repeal are better options.

I have fired real guns on two separate occasions in my entire life and don’t ever plan to own one.

This one is pretty awful:


NSFW!!

https://www.kmov.com/news/graphic-video ... 5c64a.html


Seems like a much better candidate for protest than the stabby girl.



Edit: also shows how ineffective tasers can be at subduing a person

This is a lot different than what Bammer said, which seems to be a week off so everyone appreciates them again. I know he probably doesn’t believe this, but I’ve heard plenty of people in real life say stuff like this, and they think this is a good argument.

Yeah that’s really bad and the cop should be fired/punished immediately.
