they've been having town meetings treesh. Really tho it's by and large a protest with distributed leadership settling in to an occupation with "defund the police" as the top line demand and (probably) not like, suddenly morphed into a self-contained anarchist project.

A few people from the facebook groups* for our majority white neighborhood got together and hosted a protest march in support of Black Lives Matter last weekend. I'm really proud of them, and several dozen people turned out. However, in planning for a second march this weekend, their posts began to attract comments from bootlickers, and the ensuing confrontations managed to get the original posts, comments, and in some cases original posters banned from the group. As a response to this, the people who led the march created a 3rd FB group, called Edgewater for Change, which is planning the next protest and sharing general anti-racist information. Some people slipped into Edgewater for Change with nefarious purposes and were banned. This in turn has led to the creation of a 4th neighborhood group titled All Lives Matter (how original), which is centered on "free speech".
*(there were two - one for the general town and one for our specific neighborhood)

I mean, small potatoes and insignificant compared to the brutality we've seen from them during the protests, but jesus that takes some very secure knowledge that you are way above accountability when you break into a congressperson's office like that.

just got threatened by an ex-military guy who lives here for calling out his racism when he infiltrated a friend's thread with his racist shit. FB profile is a treasure trove of anti-black protester sentiment, and he went after my friends with sexist barbs.
I immediately called him out on what it was, and he backed off of it ("what threat, we're just talking, you civilian!"). but i'm plenty taking it serious.
reported him to FB - what's the over/under on whether they actually remove his shit and ban him, or if they ban me instead for the names i called him?

so he has been calling BLM an "anti-white hate group" and I blocked him a week ago, but he has been harassing and tagging my other friend with lots of photoshopped fake news shit and saying "u support that", and then today made a creepy note that he was making a list, and he should be careful, because "we are watching".
between that, and all of the racist shit on his profile, a bunch of us decided to try and publicly shame dude today. we all contacted his school, reported him to authorities for a cyberthreat, have all been targeting his profile to get it taken down. Then one of my good friends joins the fray and says he knows the dude, that he's a gigantic weiner, and he got him fired from a job years ago for calling him a "kike". and then he keyed the friend's car, so the friend has been looking for him ever since.

I used to have an apartment at the top of a hill in DC that had a perfect view of the national monument. it has these two red lights that look like creepy eyes that are constantly blinking. one night me and friend were having beers and he said it was like we put a big halloween klansman in america's front that says white power every time the eyes blink. haven't seen it as anything other than that since
― Heez, Friday, 12 June 2020 17:46 (four years ago) link
Here's an alternate suggestion that probably won't be powerful enough to override the klansman imagery, but it's worth a try. Obelisks originated in Africa as a symbol of a powerful African empire and in copying it white Americans have acknowledged their inability to improve on it and placed themselves in creative subservience to the African original.

In police departments all over the USA the code of silence among cops is at least as strong as among the mafia. No matter how criminal a cop is, if you're another cop the pressure on you to turn a blind eye is overwhelming. Being a snitch and informing on another cop's criminal behavior is a one-way ticket to ostracism, hostility, and retaliation until you quit or are fired.

"In order for a Homicide conviction, of any kind, to happen, the defendant must have CAUSED the death of another. The defendant’s action must be the proximal cause of death. I dealt with that issue many times. I was a traffic homicide investigator. I had to prove that the injury sustained by the victim is what killed him. I had one case where a hospital-borne infection went to toxic shock, and the accident victim died. The prosecutor said I had no case. The injuries were survivable, he was recovering, but an intervening condition killed him. Not a vehicular homicide.
Actions of a defendant, particularly if they are well-intentioned, such as holding down a suspect suffering from a drug overdose, that”Contribute to” a death are not usually successfully prosecutable as homicides. The legal term is “Sine qui non,” or, without which, nothing."

Well they're trying to advance the argument that having a cop kneel on his neck for 8 minutes 46 was just something which incidentally happened to him on his way to dying from ... the coronavirus he'd already recovered from?
