The protesters being peaceful doesn’t equate to the police being peaceful...

SIGN THE PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY CARD

a lot of you talk about eating the rich

but this is what big businesses like amazon want you to do, and all the looters and rioteters are playing into their hands

destroying small businesses and brick & mortar stores, destroying the competition so that big business can thrive

'racism' is just the front for all of this, the tool used to rile people up. it's really all about classism

and this is the part that will make everyone hate me, it's the left thats dividing everyone along these racial lines, its the left that fuels the fire of racism

why isnt there as much of an outcry for the black cop shot and killed? is his life not worth as much? is it because it doesnt fit the narrative?

i'm lovin this s***, they're jammin to oakland jams we get to see a bit of the culture forreal

whew

they changed the audio

Here’s your one quote, this is all anyone will give you

Update to what I posted earlier: Garcetti wants $250 million in budget cuts redirected to black communities in LA over the next fiscal year. Earlier I said $110 million.

yall know one thing that really interests me, the older generation love to talk about WW2 expect the part about destroying fascism

I already mentioned the black cop, saying that it was so unnecessary, and probably not anyone who cared about the movement but rather someone who took pleasure in killing somebody...

The movement is protesting systemic racism which if you know anything about the history of this continent i don't gotta tell you how non-whites were treated.

You're dumb as f***

this man going off in Washington DC

Legends

that angle is scary yo... all the armed cops surrounding people on their knees w hands up

for the cause

ok im doing the math

.365+1.37 = 1.735 billion allocated for police in 2020
.367+1.49 = 1.857 billion originally allocated for 2021, now is 1.607 billion

so really decreased $100 million in funding for police since he originally added $100 million for a 4.8% pay raise to lapd with college degrees

blm proposed that the budget for lapd be $300 million

source on budget (reason i split up the math is bc their budget lists lapd under 2 categories each year, add both categories to get total): openbudget.lacity.org/#!/year/2020/operating/0/program_priority
source on lapd pay raise + blm's proposition: courthousenews.com/coalition-pushes-la-leaders-for-deep-cuts-to-police-spending

Damnnn someone said "Where the commander in chief he supposed to be the realest gangster out here- he left yall to be out here" or something lmao

They've been happening literally right outside my apartment so its not hard to join in for a bit

I took the night off. What I miss?

Think there were a lot of arrests in LA not too long ago.

yikes

Iowa City, LA, NYC, and Huntsville had s*** shows.

Portland/Seattle both got rid of their curfews and have significantly more success in peaceful protests with no violence from the police yet.

Something I realized while typing out one of my last few posts is that its difficult to explain systemic racism to someone who refuses to acknowledge it

When you have so much history at the touch of a screen, of how this country was built, like cmon dude u never learned about segregation, u think racism magically went away in the 60s or something? and that people on the "Left" mention it just for fun? Not because police officers get away with killing unarmed people all the time here?

edit: this post is somewhat on topic but my bad if i ever drive this thread off topic other than the important info, I'ma try not to treat this thread almost as a chat thread almost as I have been doing, thats not the point of it
