more riots tonight. obviously I condemn and disavow these highly effective methods of mass violence. god forbid they continue and it leads to political change that would be awful
@augustus The police have shown that it works for minorities or for foreign issues. They set the standard doing this.
@sim GBNews is heavily pushing the "two tiered policing" meme as a response to the killings
@augustus I guess we will see how this goes. But this is the problem when the police and government have enabled the destruction of social cohesion and law and order. It leaves me uneasy for the future.
@sim They want to just ignore it and hope it goes away. That is 100% their strategy. So long may riots continue.
@augustus @sim in the video I saw on Twitter the police were doing exactly jack and shit about the riots, I saw video where they just watched guys fighting with machetes and made no attempt to stop them. another video where white people were throwing concrete at them and they were just attempting to block the concrete with riot shields. I found no video of them attempting to actually stop anything.
b e a r d
some guy kills and injures several kids
there is a vigil for the kids and people with machetes attempt to attack the vigil (for some reason in a video I saw, two people with machetes are attacking each other, not a vigil).
there is a riot later, I read it was started because whtie people attacked a mosque in retaliation because they assumed the attacker was muslim (can't find any video of that) I saw video of black and seemingly arab-ish looking people rioting
after that I see video of white people attacking police with bricks and concrete
