George Floyd Protests

Last time you accused me of the same thing when I shared my same brother warned LA was about to release most of their inmates. Turns out most major cities did within a few days. I guess it’s a better schtick than just personal attacks every time I disagree with someone.

54th mass regiment monument in Boston  spray painted and damaged?  Ffs know your history.  I support change but this type of action does not help your cause.

I hesitate sharing any Th omg personal because the cop haters are always going to hate. Believe me or not, just sharing some info. Because news reporters out on the corner in one of the largest cities in the world during massive protests is hard to believe you could stop at an intersection, roll down a window and have a 6 second conversation waiting on traffic. 

A lot of information was shared in 6 seconds.

Call me a skeptic.

In the age of twitter it would kind of hard to hide all this secret rioting. Maybe your brother should start recording all this troubling behavior to share it with the world.

Not to mention that LA’s skies are typically filled with police and news station traffic reporter helicopters and all the news outlets monitor police communications for that inevitable car chase they can film live. That, and I suppose neither of them called for backup or were escorted in some way, drawing more attention to the “story” that didn’t get reported. Any self respecting journalist wouldn’t say such a thing. Now, whether they file a report and their GM squashes it, that’s another story. More incitement of “lawlessness” caused by the radical left. I’m sure FaceTurd is full of posts about how the prisoners were released into the community and there’s already been rapes and murders and robbery.

Where did I say they never called for backup? I took a 5 minute conversation and turned it into about 2 sentences to share. But of course you want leaked secured documents every time I share an experience. 

They called for backup, he witnessed the first moments live and listened to the rest on the radio as backup arrived and Several patrol cars dispersed the crowd surrounding the bus.
But whatever, you’re also the one that didn’t believe me when I said they are about to release most of the jails for due to Covid  because I wouldn’t provide leaked secret  documentation, then a few days later every major city was reporting they did. Either you think I made the whole thing up, or my brother lied to me, or that maybe the news isn’t reporting on violent protests. Since just a week ago they were looting stores in broad daylight in front of cops and suddenly you don’t see that happening anymore it doesn’t seem like a big stretch. Or maybe they just all decided to do better? Whatever.

I don’t believe the press wouldn’t report on a DOC bus being attacked with rocks and protestors jumping on the roof. Not with the amount of surveillance deployed by the press and law enforcement. But typical of your posts, your information comes second hand without a verifiable source. It’s an old schtick.

My brother is a LA county deputy and was driving a van transporting inmates. The bus in front of him, also transporting inmates, was swarmed and ambushed by protestors. Threw rocks and bricks at it and jump on top, it was completely stuck. My brother turned around and passed some reporters a few blocks away reporting on another protest. He pulled over to tell them what was going on a few blocks away and they told him they have been instructed by their networks to not report anything violent and only cover peaceful protests.

i have little doubt we aren’t getting a very accurate story of what is going on in some of these cities. 

So, a few thoughts about this.

First, it would be helpful to know what network or news agency these reporters were supposedly from. Local, regional, national, international? This matters, when judging whether this situation would even mean anything, assuming it occurred. 

Second, reporters don't generally just go out and wander around randomly - they are given an assignment to cover. It's entirely possible that this group was given the assignment to cover peaceful protests. After all, FSM knows there's been a lot of coverage of the non-peaceful variety already.

Third, even if we were to believe that there was some sort of directive from the top of one of the "networks" to not cover violent protests, what's to stop all of the other agencies from covering them? LA is a big place, with lots of news outlets from across the political spectrum. It's conspiracy theory to the max to believe that they would all have banded together to prevent coverage of certain aspects of the situation.

In the age of cell phone cameras no one happened to take a picture or video of “rioters” taking over a prisoner transport bus?

Little known fact, all Obamaphones were repossessed the day after the inaugural.

For what it's worth I have cell phone video of protesters throwing a garbage can at a police vehicle for no reason.  That didn't make the news either.
