Gab is a known pro neo-nazi and white supremacist website. That's more telling than whatever the video is about.
It's literally a bunch of clips stitched together, seen them all independently reposted multiple times over the past week, not liking the person who made a compilation of existing clips is not an argument
This is exactly why media not posting "uncomfortable" things works (on both sides of the political spectrum) - people just discredit every other source because they don't like their political opinions
Sure, if you see it on breitbart or infowars you should probably google around some more but those clips have been around for a whole week reposted hundreds of times

I don't like BLM either but that doesn't mean I have to be a cop apologist (you can even be racist and still think cops in america are way over the line), though I guess logic is a lost concept to americans these days

Not liking seeing youth around you emulating american thugs is racist? Gangster rap was sold to the whole world as a cool thing for the sake of money when it's filled with misogyny and violence, which you progressives should be against

Shmups are filled with bullets and explosions and espouse the chilling notion that every one of your victims should award some manner of "points" for a kill. Some even reward deliberate mass slaughter with a "chaining" mechanic. What's worse, games like R-Type have "boss" enemies that must be destroyed which bear a shocking resemblance to female genitalia.

Or wait, is it only the popular entertainment that you, individually, don't consume that's the truly dangerous stuff?

Here's a fun retrospective on the moral panic around heavy metal that lead to congressional hearings back before gangsta rap and video games were the boogeymen du jour.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

On the one hand you have rioters rioting, on the other you have police brutalizing. And then you have some members of each camp saying their actions are justified by those of the opposing camp.

Is this just an oversized family feud where both sides are wrong? Well, not exactly. Let's compare one side to the other. The cops have equipment and budgets and a union and special laws which protect them (literal privilege). And while protests can easily be infiltrated by agents provocateur and other opportunistic criminals, I don't believe anyone has claimed that police brutality is being perpetrated by fake cops. So It's a loosely-defined angry mob vs. a government sponsored and organized paramilitary force. Consider that before listening to anyone's excuses.

The real fault for both problems lies with our utterly corrupt government. As Jimmy Dore has pointed out, if they cared half as much about helping actual people as they did about bailouts for billionaires, then there probably wouldn't be as many rioters would there? If they hadn't given the police military equipment and training, and repeatedly failed to deliver any legal consequences for police misconduct then there probably wouldn't be as many murderous cops would there? Will the government do anything though? So far they have responded to protests against police brutality with more police brutality, an epic fail. Just now they brought charges against the killers of George Floyd. That's how long it took to do the obvious first step.

Solutions to police brutality that have been proposed (and largely ignored thus far): demilitarization, local control, end of qualified immunity, mandatory liability insurance for cops

I think this is why some people in other countries are getting excited about this (I've seen a few posts that said so). They think that just maybe, Americans are finally fed up enough to deliver a little chemo therapy and kill off some of the malignant cancers. Plenty of non-Americans hate the US government too.

BTW, I noticed that some people who were against protesting because of the pandemic are suddenly OK with protesting again. I did notice that.

COVID is over, mates! Absolute legend, mate!

Re GANGSTA THUGZ, as purveyed to much lucre by Jerry Heller and other flabby white boys comfily removed from the hood, it's a chicken/egg scenario imo. Doubtful that Eazy "AIDS VICTIM" E and co singlehandedly enticed the rest of LA into SLANGIN and getting MO MONEH + MO BITCHES while PUTTIN NIGGAZ ON THEY BACK w/ 1-2-THA DOME. Seems about as likely as BOUNTY KILLAH and NINJAMAN kickstarting Yardie culture in my dear ol JAM. That stuff has deep roots going back decades before their early 90s heyday.

However I did see a few good kids fall by the wayside for no apparent reason whatosever. Comfortably middle-class, supportive families, personable, not at all lacking in gumption or intellect - then whammo! Puberty hits, time to GET THUGGIN apparently. One got bopped on the nose for minor rudeness and is doing well, bless him. One decided to become GANGSTA #1 but didn't grasp the subtleties of the business, eg you're supposed to get OTHER PEOPLE to do the murdering, while you go to church and help granny across the road! Doing three consecutive life sentences in the pokey, with ten or so illegitimate children on the outside by various women. That's not good!

Was he a murderous crim by nature? Might've been. Either way I hope his kids turn out alright. Hopefully I won't be putting any behind bars with their old man. Looking back, I can't help feeling some disdain for Eric's dead AIDS ass, and Ninja, who's in the slammer with his son on matching life sentences, and company. Whether they're influencers or merely chroniclers, I think the lifestyle they made their money lionising - one necessitated by the depredations of WHITEY or no - is nihilistic dog shit that fucks up everyone involved.

It ain't personal. I feel the same about Lou Reed. "Muh heroin LOL" Great! OD and STFU. Burning down churches in the dead of night is some bitch shit too. I ever see someone pulling that, I hope it's through a rifle scope.

Crackin' tunes all, mind. Bup bup! Would-be Eazys/Hos: Yuh can ride pon de willy if yuh rubba no puncture

Apologies for shitting up this HAPPENIN' thread with anecdotes. 3; Living and working abroad while the sequel to The Day The Niggaz Took Over is blowing up IRL has me nostalgic. Image

The police are doing white people too. This is everyone vs racism and the corrupt police. They have been now caught in lies many times thanks to recorded footage.

I saw a video this morning of a cop telling some Proud Boys to go indoors since they were going to start tear gassing soon. Said he didn't want to "play favorites", then he sees he's being recorded and he looks like he's seen a ghost.

You motherfuckers need to stop blowing up small defenseless nations and start stringing up your journalists and actors. This is some evil (if hilarious) shit.

You can't trust the police because there isn't enough accountability. That's a big part of the issue.

Wait! I know! :)

Let's have no law and accountability for everyone!

That will fix it! ;)

Your neighbors will eventually rob you, rape your daughter, and murder your son. They are human beings (skin tone makes no difference), capable of anything, and (ultimately) untrustworthy. There are literally centuries of human history that prove it.

Libertarians! Libertarians everywhere! Human beings do love to dream.

Nobody's trying to rob-rape-kill each other on my street and I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with inept agents of the state.

Humans are shit, honestly. There's a reason why everyone leaves their house locked.

I'm not a fan of the police but I'm not sure if getting rid of them entirely is the answer.

I watched the vid where he likens capitalism to pimping, and tells a little parable to demonstrate.

In the comment section this observation noted the effectiveness of the parable (bibles the world over are jam-packed with'em):

"I think this is because the truth is confronting; especially when It disagree's with a person's perception. A parable let's just take what we want from a story.
Remember knowing means having a responsability to act"

Just reminds me of how useless it feels everytime I remind a liberal that slavery is legal and ask them to tell their friends, it's the least they could do. But they don't, the idea society could be structurally flawed in any way and that they're passively accomplices to it at best, makes them uncomfortable.

There are third world countries all over the planet with little or no police. Life is not pleasant in those places.

The facts speak for themselves.

It's not fearmongering. It's reality.

And, you'll eventually end up with criminals. You'll need a militia and that "militia" will be armed with no accountability. Even if the "good guys" militia manages to win some territory, they will still be an armed group operating with no accountability. Human nature will prevail sooner or later. Oh... Hello, rape, robbery, and murder. :)

Pretty soon, you'll develop some sort of backwards feudalism system, but it will only protect people with money.

Been in hospital the last week with an old friend and no internet, so all I could watch between merciful blasts of taxpayer-subsidised Ching Chong Chinaman Charlie and nice ol granny feeling up my ass cheeks was the Big British Castle.

Has the coof truly been cancelled? That was/is A LOT of non-masking muhfuckas rubbin all up on each other's shit out in the street. Sitting there in my mask next to granny, high as fuck and feeling a right plonker.

As an avid watcher of burning world, I'm curious to see where this goes. Image This could go in the coofin thread, but I like this one better, as now all those food replies to CBS's mendacious cuntings are making me hungry as fuck. Image

Here's a fun little episode. The twats got what they wanted. I always enjoyed how cutting back the police and turning off the lights worked out for them. Although, I've met a couple of these people that claim it worked and the problem was too much gubment. After all, we couldn't call them twats if they weren't... twats.
