👆 Exactly! The thing is when those who are custodians of public trust, to protect and serve act in this way, they create them and us, rather than one society.
I saw the videos. especially judging by the second one where he's leaving the scene, it is obvious he is white and was there as an agent provocateur. no proof yet that he's a masked corrupt pig sent on an errand, but I'd bet the farm on it.

more corrupt pig activity, casually shooting at a reporter with pepper bullets on live TV, in front of dozens of other cops who stand back and watch, nobody moving to restrain him. okay then, don't cry about "honor and sacrifice" and "blue lives matter" when those chickens come home
glad I live in a state where the police aren't an anti-civilan gang of proudboys stomping about in jackboots terrorizing people
Originally posted by truejedithe body cameras and accessible footage on request is a great idea in theory.
As a solution- how about cameras on cops at all times while they are on duty? Public accessible footage upon request. That's something. Requirements for integrated police forces, offering extra incentives for black police recruits. It won't happen overnight, but we need solutions to the symptoms of the disease, even if we can't cure the cause.
Unfortunately police unions across the country have strongly opposed them for years. Not just opposing the body cameras but the release of footage obtained by the ones in use, and officers disciplinary records.
"The issue is at the heart of a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan by the city’s largest police union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. As the city moves ahead with its plan to equip all patrol officers with body cameras by the end of 2019, the union, which represents nearly two-thirds of the city’s 36,000 officers, is seeking to stop the Police Department from releasing the resulting footage without a court order."
"The Police Department considers releasing body camera video of “critical incidents,” like police shootings, on a case-by-case basis. The police commissioner makes the final decision after consulting with the district attorney in the borough where the shooting took place."
"So far, the Police Department, under Commissioner James P. O’Neill, has released edited footage of three police shootings, including two that were fatal. But in the lawsuit, union lawyers argue that the videos — raw or edited — are personnel records shielded from public disclosure by Section 50-a of the state Civil Rights law, a statute that also protects officers’ performance evaluations and disciplinary records."
There are good cops and there are bad cops. But far too often in my opinion many of the "good" cops( and others in the legal system) that might be fair to all other groups or races, simply dont hold other cops to the same standards that they hold the rest of the public to.
Imho thats one of the main symptoms of the disease (to steal your phrase) and curing that symptom would do alot for curing the disease.
*smh* hope they find, arrest, and once found guilty execute the shooter.
CNN Reporter Claims That Riot Is ‘Entirely Peaceful,’ Immediately Gets Stuff Thrown At Him
Lol, says they are throwing stuff but "not in a mean way".
This beta was stuffed in lockers a bunch in high school, but totally "not in a mean way".

The Boston Tea Party didn't include massive rioting and burning down innocent people's homes and businesses.
With that being said. God damn this is the most civilized "looting" that i have ever heard of.
"Besides the destruction of the tea, historical accounts record no damage was done to any of the three ships, the crew or any other items onboard the ships except for one broken padlock. The padlock was the personal property of one of the ships’ captains and was promptly replaced the next day by the Patriots. Great care was taken by the Sons of Liberty to avoid the destruction of personal property – save for the cargo of British East India Company tea. Nothing was stolen or looted from the ships, not even the tea. One participant tried to steal some tea but was reprimanded and stopped. The Sons of Liberty were very careful about how the action was carried out and made sure nothing besides the tea was damaged. After the destruction of the tea, the participants swept the decks of the ships clean, and anything that was moved was put back in its proper place. The crews of the ships attested to the fact there had been no damage to any of the ships except for the destruction of their cargoes of tea."

did the boston tea party have to deal with agent provocateurs infiltrating and deliberately causing havoc, and an obviously power-mad corrupt police force actively terrorizing their protest?
If they did, would it have somehow justified them burning down local businesses?

Not gonna play this game so I'll just ask you flat out: if they had to deal with "agent provocateurs infiltrating and deliberately causing havoc, and an obviously power-mad corrupt police force actively terrorizing their protest" do you think looting and burning would have been justified?

Well, using their logic. if they don't comment on the people murdered during the riots. they're Nazi's.
