A reminder of what that kind of behaviour can result in.
God, that's ****ing awful. I can't help but notice what a dystopian surveillance state the UK is. It's like someone read 1984 and mistook it for a good blueprint for a society.

yet if it wasnt for all the objective testimony of surveillance state cameras, everyone would have believed the official story/lie. quite a quandary

People in the UK seem to think 1984 was a how-to guide. It's very strange.
They arrested some teens for a possible hate crime cuz they posted a pic of one kneeling on the others neck mocking George Floyd. Is it wrong what they did? Yep, but I don't think there should be any legal consequences.
And of course they are now in police protection too cuz they are getting death threats.

Is that true? Without knowing the context that does seems like an overreach by the police.
Originally posted by ArtolYeah the uk is a surveillance state no doubt, but the phone in your pocket and Alexa etc. Let Surveillance in your house wherever you are. I actually had a tinfoil hat moment and carried a dumb phone for a bit in 2012.

(CNN)Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, were suspended without pay Thursday after video showed them pushing a 75-year-old man, causing him to fall back and hit his head on the sidewalk, Buffalo Police Department spokesman Mike DeGeorge told CNN.
The man is hospitalized in serious but stable condition, DeGeorge said Friday. -snip

because police feel more empowered now to commit and get away with shit like this, because of the president obvious racist and authoritarian signaling/bullhorning.
So the local police get their orders from Trump? Again, what does Trump have to do with local police using violence to disperse crowds (many unruly and violent)?

Right back at you: sorry that you can't blame Trump for anything you find negative. 🙂
Say it with me: police brutality existed long before Trump.
Under Trump, police brutality has decreased:

Use trending and the first year compared to current year.
On the trend, since we've already completed 5 months and 4 days, we are already behind for all races in all categories from last year to this year - except, perhaps, "other."
If you consider the start date of 2017 (Trump took office in Jan), all categories are down except for black and unknown with this year, on black, shaping up to be a sharp drop from 2017 and the year prior.
Overall, deaths are way down since 2017 even if you stop in 2019.
And it should be obvious why murder-by-cop numbers are trending down: crime is trending down, big time, since Trump took office.
The FBI released its annual crime report a few days ago, showing the violent crime rate has dropped 4.6% since President Trump took office.
I made some charts to represent this data and I projected the homicides by police through the end of 2020.
I included the raw data, as well.
So here are all the charts redone with 2020 projected numbers and a linear trendline.

And now time for some pure gold. Some pure Michigan.
"Why are you guys removing Black Lives Matter graffiti?" she asked.
The culprits replied that it's a federal building and that it was vandalized. In fact, the address is 811 Vermont Ave. NW, which houses the Department of Veterans Affairs.
So, you don't care about black lives then?" she asked.
The guilty party replied, "That's not at all what we're saying" and "we do care about black lives."
"Not enough to leave up a message," Ms. Woke shot back.
"We don't disagree with the message, ma'am, it's just on the building," one of the deplorables replied. "We're just trying to clean it."
Not getting anywhere with the oppressive wall-scrubbers, our heroine signed off her clip by saying, "Right. Not a great way to use your white privilege, ladies. That's disgusting."
😆
Spoiler alert: she did violate the guidelines lol
These people have lied to us for months. There needs to be consequences.

Whew lads...
White men with mental health problems are killed a LOT by police. We need start spray-painting buildings with "Mentally Ill White Men Matter." We will need to socially distance while doing so.
