    From the sound of it they won't be able to break in to any homes or buildings either. So win win :techman:

    Looks like we’ve outed a couple of antifa super fans too! :async:

    What exactly denotes ignoring police brutality anyways. Should we all post a video of it and say grrr? Maybe change our avatars to angry pepper spraying cops? Or just be sensible and reasonable and assume that most people here don’t like to see cops beating up on peaceful protestors

    Don’t turn into a narrow and limited binary American bud, you’re better than that and it’s not a good look

    Yeah, I did a lot of that "sensible and reasonable", shit with you lot.
    It bit me in the ass.
    Deep, and bloody, and repeatedly.
    I'm done.

    (For the record, while he was most certainly liberal and left leaning, Benjamin Dixon was about as far from anarcho-communist "destroy the state" as you could get. The actions of the police have managed to change his position in that time. Good job.)

    20 weeks seems ridiculously low to me. Our jailers spend 17 weeks in training.

    When will Lubak figure out that @14thDoctor is no more American than he is? :mystery:

    Don't express concern, or worry, Lubak will say you're virtue signalling.
    To not have respect from Lubak is just devastating.
    You'll never recover.

    That reminds me, I've seen a lot of the more neutral black friends of mine--some I've followed for as long as ive had a Facebook account--speaking up on this, including the South African lady whose only black friends were her hairstylists and the sailor who cut off all her friends when she got with the borderline white supremacist she later married. :corn:

    I can't dredge up enough fuck to care about his opinions, though. I just assume he's either full of shit, trolling, or both. It works out better that way.

    I hate seeing cops beat up on peaceful people. I always have to draw the curtains and turn up the TV.

    So another world renowned scumbag doing the same thing? I'm not sure how I should react to this. Well played? :unsure:

    I honestly don't remember the context. Did Clinton have to call in the military to forcibly remove protesters against his fascist propaganda in order to shoot that picture, too?

    I don't disagree.

    What's even more funny is the two-week "refresher." Montgomery's Academy is the only place in the state that offers a way to get your certification back if you let it lapse. Lets say you've put five or six years in and you get burnt out. So, you bounce out and start driving a truck or something. Then, after a few years, you decide that you want to go back into Law Enforcement. You get hired and the agency sends you to a 10 business day refresher course in Montgomery and, boom, you're back in the game.

    Good riddance, but I've also seen people posting that the guy who beat him has essentially the same views but he's young enough and smart enough not to broadcast them like King did.

    I'd already be filing a lawsuit against G/O Media which owns The Onion.

    Once that gets out there in the public it will be stripped from The Onion and people might not know it's fake. That can damage Auntie Anne's brand.

    Yeah it's lawsuit time.
