Preemptive state of emergency in Louisville. Apparently they are expecting trouble after announcing the results of their investigation.

Why just Louisville?

Why just Louisville?

because that's where the dumb cops who decided to smash into her house unannounced and murder her live.

just an excuse to riot

My point is there have been riots in lots of places where atrocities haven?t recently happened. There were riots here in Los Angeles for George Floyd, also New York I think, Chicago, Washington DC...a bunch of places.

Why would rioters start exercising self-control now all of a sudden? That doesn?t make any sense.

I know, right?

Rioters love to riot. They eat that shit up. They can?t get enough of that shit.

You should call mayors in other cities and tell them to declare states of emergency if you think you know where they're going to happen.

Our stupid dumbass mayor here was calling a state of emergency at the same time he was trademarking the term ?defund the police.?

How does one do both at same time?

Seems counterintuitive.

You answered the question in your own question, ya stoopid dummass. (sic)

One indictment.

 

[Gulo Blue]

I think there are fewer than 5% on one side that actually think getting rid of the police is a good idea, and fewer than 5% on the other side that are actually scared that that might happen. The rest of us know it's a bad idea and it isn't going to happen.



The most dramatic example out there is Camden, NJ, where they dissolved the police department, and guess what? Of course they still have police.

 

[Gulo Blue]

So, wanton endangerment means there's no intent to kill. Do police fire warning shots? I thought they only shot to kill. I feel like I've read arguments about shooting people in the leg to stop them and why police don't do that sort of thing.

In Camden I think the county sheriff department picked up the slack.

In situations of reasonable self defense for both civilians and police there are exemptions.

The charges aren?t directly related to Breonna Taylor ? he fired shots into a neighbors apartment or something.

Anarchy doesn't mean what it used to be when an 'anarchist jurisdiction' spends $6 billion on policing.

Trump just loves winding up his old buddy Mario?s son, the Governor of New York.

They?re like a guy and nephew trying to operate a family business together who go out
of their ways to irritate the shit out of each other.

One indictment.

why do people keep harping on the fact that they shot an unarmed black woman? They couldn't even see who they were shooting at since the door was closed. Plus, they were definitely shooting at someone that was armed...since they were fired upon first.

Because many cases have some element of not following police orders and people say "if you just do what the police tell you to do you'll be fine." In this case, she didn't have a chance. I haven't heard the unarmed part as much as the 'asleep in her bed' (which wasn't the case at the time of the shooting), but either way, the point being made is about being in a no-win scenario.

I?m not worried. I never was.
