I’ve tried and tried and tried to hammer this in to Libs; It wasn’t Trump who sent the US Army in to my city to crush democratic organizing and political unrest, to protect a white cop and uphold white supremacy, to hold the population at gunpoint while the deeply corrupt and illegitimate judiciary did it’s thing.
It was Tim Walz.
He deployed thousands of US Army soldiers throughout Minneapolis in the days surrounding the reading of the verdict of one of the George Floyd murder cases. If the judiciary let that cop walk free he was going to maintain order no matter how many (black) people he had to murder to do it. I was trying to reassure my friends that the feds probably hadn’t issued ammunition to all the National Guard pukes marching through the streets, that the armored cars didn’t actually have machine guns fitted, but idk what the fuck they would have done if people had risen up in the aftermath if what’s his ass had been allowed to walk. I assume they brought in a military occupation because they intended to use it.
In addition to the great points made by everyone. I think its important to add
You’re confused because when people say “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” they’re talking about you
Ha I’m so far left you get your guns back. Go bleat at someone else, troll.
I hear complaints about the national guard being in our cities, but that is the authority the state has and they are correct to use it when there is risk to public safety from civil unrest.
You’re so far left that you can’t help but deepthroat the state and defend its monopoly on the use of force to “keep public safety from civil unrest” despite the actual meaning of that being “protect the neoliberal status quo”
You are a liberal dawg, absolute shitlib, in desperate need of political education
mods sometimes y’all just gotta leave stuff so that people can see how dumb libs are
iirc he said some shit about how “how was the judiciary corrupt, blah blah blah they convicted chauvin!!” and then casually defended the right of the state to mobilize the national guard to potentially massacre protesters if he was found not guilty. Not like they thought that was GOOD but like “well it’s the state’s right!” without a single thought afterwards of what defending that in this context means.
it was shit libbery but like idk if we’re gonna be federated or whatever and these dipshit libs are gonna come around, mods shouldn’t just be removing shit for shit-libbery because it removes the whole context of these arguments where we’re dunking on them. It’s not like anything this comment said was some like bigoted cognitohazard yknow
I mean, he was literally in communication with the cops and they gave him carte blanche to open carry an AR into a crowded area, so, basically, yeah
Wrong. The national guard should have been deployed against the cops to protect us from the biggest white power gang in the US.
Nah fam I’m not engaging with this shit, disingenuously twisting someone’s words is a low level bait trap you can’t catch me in.
Get the fuck out of this instance, lib. Imagine having a “.ml” next to your name and saying all the pro-cop shit you’ve been saying here.
It is possible to do that, but to my knowledge it’s only happened once
Warned about the size of the force Bowers was raising, Governor Davis Hanson Waite interceded again in the strike. He issued a proclamation on May 27 in which he called on the miners to disband their encampment on Bull Hill. In a development unparalleled in American labor history, he also declared the force of 1,200 deputies to be illegal and ordered the group disbanded. He also ordered the state militia to be on the alert for a possible move on Cripple Creek. On May 28, the governor visited the miners, who authorized Waite to negotiate on their behalf.
He’s in prison because there was an uprising. They were prepared to let him walk. That’s the default when a cop kills someone. That’s what happened in Chauvin’s previous brutality cases. The judiciary was corrupt in the way that all of them are, because the footsoldiers of the law aren’t subject to that law.
”That’s the authority the state has” isn’t an argument in favor of anything.
It sounds like you’re arguing that it’s okay to do things because it’s the law.
Trump let Covid rip through the country
But it was Joe Biden who said it was over and immediately cut my food stamps from 280 to 24 dollars a month
Chauvin only got convicted cuz we burned shit. Don’t let them forget that’s what it takes.
One of the most moments I had about the Floyd uprisings was when the lib mayor of Seattle announced a pause on tear gas being used against protesters like it was some benevolence she decided to gift upon the people, and it was literally because the SPD had ran out of it because they were using so much, and then they resumed gassing protesters once they got a resupply shipment in.
Those days were fucking crazy. I actually had hope back then too, though. Like I’d never seen this much sustained rioting across the nation where like average people were organizing and systematically sparring with local authority - i think it’s honestly why quarantine ended the way it did - the loss of life was acceptable far more than a situation where an already disquieted populace had the time and means to actually challenge the fascist order of the day domestically
