The Protest Thread

[verb_to_trust]

Yes, conservative gun owners are going to start shooting police officers on behalf of Marxist revolutionaries. That’s a really well thought out meme.

So the NRA is a conservative organization that only cares about conservatives who have thin dicks and carry guns because of it?

For more than an hour on Thursday evening, activist Edreece Phillips, 48, a Black hip-hop artist who's been protesting for weeks, had been keeping protesters and sightseers off the fence enclosing the federal courthouse. He said he'd talked to federal officials earlier in the day and said they'd agreed that if protesters stayed back, agents would stay inside the courthouse.

“They don’t come out unless we try to get in," Phillips said. "All that stuff people are doing is making it so that Black voices are being heard less and less and less.”

“A lot of the people who are doing it are not Black. They throw shit and start shit and run away and yell 'Black Lives Matter,' and then go home and take off their clothes. But I can’t take off my black," Phillips said. "And the more damage they do to this building— well, everyone thinks it’s people of color doing all this and it’s not. “

Hey RM, maybe actually listen to Black voices for once?

So maybe, instead of sending all of these officers there, Portland should have just been left alone?

I guess there’s no shortage of ways in which black folk get screwed by white folk.

The Seattle deployment makes more sense with this for context:

"you're on your own"

Just call in the social workers. Duh.

Somebody got scared I guess:

After very last-minute hearing, Judge grants temporary restraining order on banning use of crowd-control weapons this weekend, so now Seattle officers can use tear gas, pepper spray and other crowd deterrents this weekend if they deem it necessary. Good night.

It's like the people said stop brutalizing us and the cops listened. If only briefly.

Watching one of the streamer guys (who is ex military I think) he said the anger was definitely ramped up last night. But it might have been just because he witnessed a stabbing and then the stabber get beaten.

The hate is palpable, though. It was pretty intense.

They're getting exactly what they want. They love skin burning gas. Just gives them an excuse to keep on keeping on.

To be fair, he is old now and his skin is so thin as to be like tissue.

Those dumbasses are already shooting each other. Didn't even have to provoke the cops.

[BurtReynolds]

Should I do some citizen reporting today?

The pepper spray really clears out the sinuses!
