    Another reminder of our former police poster...
    He used to call protesters who blocked roadways and forced him overtime "oxygen thieves", but drunk off their ass football fans who blocked roadways and forced him overtime we're A-OK in his book!

    Yes!  When the Avalanche won Quebec went buck wild.  I think it was only a year after they left?

    But the response to them is usually nothing but eye-rolling.  What's going on in Minneapolis now (and now in St. Paul, where I live) is worse than the white college punk rioting when Minnesota won the NCAA hockey title...but it's far more understandable.  Even peaceful Martin Luther King, Jr. said that riot is the language of the unheard.  I'm not condoning anyone's actions here, but this shit's bound to boil over. Right now, I know any cop suspecting me of **forgery** will calmly take me to the car and maybe even get me some food.  If you're black?  You could get taken out by a cop at almost any time.  It must be terrible to have that hanging over your head at all times.

    I have only seen this on facebook, so I apologize if you cannot see it...

    The first building badly damaged was an autozone.  The first shot (or, rather, hammer-swing) was fired by a white guy.

    I have never heard of cops firing their weapons carelessly in situations of protest.  That would be news to me and if true those officers that shoot blindly would/should be held accountable but I don't think it can really be proven.

    Interesting take and view but hard to swallow all of it and his last statement paints you in a corner if you disagree.

    Completely different here of course.  The author is talking about the recent riots/protests and you bring up something that happened 50 years ago where the cops actually drew down and shot people.  He is describing police officers shooting at nothing.

    Completely different.

    Thanks

    That “nothing” you refer to were empty streets? “Nothing.” I’m not sure that streets filled with protesters should be considered “nothing.” And isn’t one of the cardinal rules of “responsible” gun handling is to know what is downrange from where you’re shooting and the potential consequences? Maybe you remember the young, female Red Sox fan shot in the face with a bean bag? Recent enough for you?

    Yea, nothing.
