Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

Is this a Republican site? That's not what the rules say!




I'm pro-gun. And I do lean left I suppose, but in the sense that I prioritize people over corporate profits not in the sense that I'm going to run out and vote for Biden. That's not left. I reject the Republicans and Democrats as part of the same political theater that enables the wealthy to screw over the working man. I'm new, so maybe I'm crossing lines in this thread? It seems intrinsically political in the way it's discussing the situation, but I also genuinely am not a troll and don't want to be banned before I even really get used to the site again. I haven't even lurked here in years.

Maybe slow your roll a bit then and just get to know people before ****ting on their politics.

This thread isn't political.

But but but, every post I've seen on Indiana/Indianapolis subreddits about the Indy protests are talking about how peaceful they are

It's. Fine.

Move. On.

Everyone has posted wrong opinions in the wrong subforum before. Be positive and educating, not demeaning and rough, with new users.

You better bring a bunch of friends. It was overrun.

Apparently rioters have moved into the suburbs and are breaking into homes, lighting them on fire.

I can't find the stream this image is from, but they're discussing it, because a cat was trapped in one of the burning homes.

What says this is in suburbs? What suburb? And what does she mean “real” protesters?

Blocking forum posters is an act of cowardice. :-P




I expected that. But I'm not interested in pretending to be someone I'm not. I can be civil, but there's no point in being here if I'm not going to express me opinions on things (within the rules). That's what forums are for.




I didn't shout "ORANGE MAN BAD." That's how those around me have been trying to convince me to vote for Biden for weeks, and it's not compelling. Mainstream news (including, but not limited to, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX) is essentially part of the same system that perpetuates the Red/Blue culture war these days, and their messaging reflects that. If I seem to have been parroting their coverage of anything then it was entirely unintentional, although occasionally they do reflect reality because spin isn't necessary to support their narrative. There's a lot to criticize about Trump, and I think it's useful to point out specific problems when they come up. The same goes for Biden and any other public figure who warrants criticism (most of them). That said, the Break Room header says "No Politics," which in my mind means this thread shouldn't even be here, but I'm not a mod and don't get to make that determination. I'll knock off politics chat here and do apologize for making that comment here in the Break Room.

Getting called a coward by people on the left. Sign me up baby!!

Dont worry. Trump has 2020 on lock. 4 more years of liberal tears

Watch the stream. It's clearly moving to the edges of the city.

He's sitting in a parking lot by the burning house, you can see firefighters trying to put it out.

Mayor Lightfoot is gonna be pissed that the rioters are breaking her corona edicts. They better not congregate in the parks and beaches.

Wow, the Pentagon just deployed active MP units to Minneapolis to assist law-enforcement there.

#BREAKING: The Pentagon orders the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis.

Soldiers from Fort Bragg in NC & Fort Drum in NY have been ordered to be ready to deploy within four hours if called. (Per AP)

Things could really heat up if the army starts shooting rioters.

I’m surprised it took so long for ****cago to appear in this thread.

The flag burning isn’t about wanting to leave, it’s about wanting to change the America that is into the America they want.

While not untrue, that's missing the point. It usually either means "I feel that I/my demographic has no voice in my own country," which is what led to current events, or it means "I strenuously disagree with actions my country is taking," such as certain actions the USA has taken in Central America and more recently the Caribbean. Destroying the symbol of one's country is an incredibly strong statement that implies one has run out of other options, and whereas your definition is accurate, it is accurate only in the narrowest possible sense. It's important that we understand why people feel they need to burn the flag in the first place and examine whether their concerns can be addressed and, if so, how rather than simply condemning them out of hand as a knee jerk reaction.

Maybe slow your roll a bit then and just get to know people before ****ting on their politics.

I thought profanity was forbidden? Anyway, I don't recall attacking anyone's politics. I hope we're all secure enough in our positions that we can handle someone disagreeing with us.

Sorry if it came across gruff. I even have a happy avitar.

This isn't politics.
