It wouldn't pay to be a cop at this point in time.

I agree, Dude. Our world is spinning out of control and I don't see end end to the madness.

Back on June 22, an Atlanta cop saw a guy out driving or parked while black and shot him through his window. APD fired him on the first of this month, and the prosecutor now has him by the short hairs. You don't mess with Paul Harvey, baby. Depending on the fickleness of the jury that boy is fresh fish or he walks and Atlanta burns again.

At this rate maybe we should just have a generic "Police Shootings" thread.

[Leasie]

No, I do not see a end to the madness. I guess this type of news will be daily now????? This is insane.

[cindyt]

Looks like it, Leasie.

Been watching this with my heart in my mouth for a friend of mine who has family that is an police officer in Baton Rouge. Just heard that they are safe. The world is getting smaller and scarier every day it would seem.

You can't bring an umbrella or tennis ball into the event zone around the RNC convention site in Cleveland - but you can bring an assault weapon:

Sounds reasonable.

What could possibly go wrong?

Long's Twitter - he was in Dallas on July 10 - a copycat killer:

Just bc you wake up every morning doesn't mean that you're living. And just bc you shed your physical body doesn't mean that you're dead.

Violence is not THE answer (its a answer), but at what point do you stand up so that your people dont become the Native Americans...EXTINCT?


Just two of his crazy posts. He just perpetually speaking poured gas on an already raging fire. Cops are going to be more on edge than they were before when dealing with African American citizens and I wouldn't doubt if even more die because from police brutality.

Just talking to my friend in Louisiana and she says gun sales are reportedly through the roof. People are going to be jumpy as hell. It's only going to get worse.

Race relations are in full reverse. Manson must be giddy about now.

Black shooter, Black Cop, the media is spinning it like a Black on White crime. I'm sick of all the racist oxygen thieves that make youtube videos using some made up statistic that was probably made up by the media to stir the pot some more.

The problem is that you have so many people who take things at face value. You show them a clip or a soundbite and they don't bother to think for themselves. I can't go on most social media at the moment just in case the stupid is catching. I have never read so much ignorant bullshit from supposedly "informed" people as I have in the last few days.

Look at the thing that's traveling around the internet



There are people actually believing this video.

Christ on a bike. This is what I mean, the fact that you can guarantee that there is some moron watching this stuff and getting all worked up and people are wondering why the planet is going to hell.

The only photo/video I'm interested in is of that guy getting his wig pushed back.
