    Pretty sure Royce of all people is not someone that is saying people should only ever peacefully protest.

    I mean, on the last couple pages he said he doesn’t like anarchists, which because I’m a human being with a memory and have talked extensively with him in the past, I interpret to mean he is repeating his complaints with the civil disobedience in the PNW in 2020 organised in part by WA/OR antifa and related groups.

    Secondly, if you say that civil disobedience should not occur because the mother of this latest victim doesn’t want more people to get hurt, I have to ask, if not now, then when?

    hey guys if I get murdered by cops, absolutely do not protest peacefully

    if I'm looking up from hell and see a candlelight vigil, I'm going to tear a hole in reality so demons can invade.

    Do you realize how tone Deaf it is to judge a black woman's demands concerning her dead child considering this movement exists because of the sacrifices of black mothers?

    Do you understand?

    Do understand how gross it is to hide behind one grieving mother in an effort to silence societal change?

    Do you understand this mysogynoir bullshiy is what happens with every time a grieving black woman has to bring Justice for her child?

    You're just as exist because of black women and this country, so if one says calm the fuck down, calm the fuck down.

    Sorry, nope. Tamika Palmer told me to be mad as hell. I wish you would drop this misogyny and listen to black mothers, tbh

    The footage of Tyre Nichols' murder is out

    Probably be wary of social media if you're worried about incidentally stumbling upon videos or images

    The problem with rioting in Memphis is that the power structure you’re resisting does not live in Memphis. They live in Cordova and germantown and Collierville. Memphis itself is very black, with a lot of black owned businesses.

    Here's an admin note: drop it. This is rapidly moving beyond "what is the right way to protest," anyways and moving into a pissing contest over who can be the most righteous about it.

    Here's a word of advice: stop assuming the worst of your fellow posters. The cops aren't going to win if you give someone the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the absolute worst about someone.

    Can I get a description (behind spoilers) of the content of the video? I really don't want to go searching it, I don't want to see it, but I want to be informed.

    The part that I watched before I decided I did not need the trauma of watching the rest of it was
    when theee cops were holding his torso and his arms spread out while 1-2 others just threw running punches/baton swings at his head. Literally looked like it was out of a movie "let the dumb goons beat the good guy" scene.

    Well thankfully not nearly as bad as I thought it would be


    But that is still Incredibly horrifing and it remains to be seen if theory number 2 was correct.

    I thought the courts agreed it's well within your rights to run away from the police?

    The courts may indeed say that running from the police is not grounds for violence.


    The police do NOT care what the courts say, at all.

    To be clear (letting it go) i meant everything over the last 24 years.

    https://youtu.be/80zaDGvHDsg

    Everyone at my high school could see the anarchists force their way into the protests groups at 23rd and cherry.


    But what happened 2 years later
    https://youtu.be/4gnfqkpYTK0

    This was only one small neighborhood. 1 fatality

    Police held position at the perimeter with cavalry the entire night(narrator fucking lies)

    There was a lot of protest afterwards that the police were too afraid to get called out after 1999 that they left the riot burn itself out until the mob was too exhausted....and kris Kine was already dead.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Mardi_Gras_riot


    Dont watch the battle of seattle movie, their gary locke has an insultingly THICK chinese accent


    https://youtu.be/_JEjI5GY720

    That is what he sounds like

    In conclusion, fuck Nichols

    Mom's first theory was homophobia, nothing to confirm that

    Theory 2 was neck trauma due to baton or a kind of noose

    After beating him and slumping his incapacitated body against a car, the murderers, surrounded by even more cops and other first responders, joked and boasted about the fatal violence they just committed. They did so with confidence, because it was normal

    So a conspiracy filmed on camera.

    What's that line from the big short,

    Mark Baum: I don't get it. Why are they confessing?
    Danny Moses: They're not confessing.
    Porter Collins: They're bragging.

    I had a big draft about how cops ARE(the worst)people bit it felt tone deaf in light of the video so all I can say is abolish the existing law enforcement system... root and stem. This is a nightmare.

    What this footage does raise is the question of why more cops in the department were not charged.

    There are far more than 5 cops on the scene while Tyre is being murdered not intervening.

    Anything less than the entire department being fired is unacceptable.
