U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[wopirish]

Bit of a power level here but it's relevant to the conversation here, so here goes...

My uncle was in the Army and served in Afghanistan back in the early 2000's and was stationed in Bagram Air Base and was part of a construction unit.

He'll even tell you the majority of his experience in Afghanistan was just pouring concrete and building or repairing structures around the base and he finds a lot of the ass-kissing vets get to be kind of patronizing at this point and he honestly finds it hilarious how so many people think that the support guys are like Big Boss or Alvin York when the majority of military personnel are doing the important busywork and support work to keep everything running.

As pretty much everyone else here has pointed out, one of the reasons why our military is such an effective fighting force is because the majority of the personnel are part of support or service support units as opposed to direct combat troops.

Getting back to the main topic of the thread, the one thing I've always found confusing is how so many SWAT units and riot police from the 2010's onward tend to wear more military-style uniforms and gear with the camo color patterns.

Usually, back in the 80's. 90's, and even in the early 2000's most tactical police units had their uniforms be some kind of black or dark blue to distinguish them from National Guard soldiers but now the SWAT guys and Feds tend to rock the drab colors of the military. Is there a specific reason for this shift?

Usually it is cost effectiveness. The amount of SWAT and Feds that are former military is about 80 percent. So making the uniforms and equipment similar you preserve familiarity and can tell them to bring their own shit that YOU KNOW THEY KEPT, because fuck it. It wasn't on my clothing record so I don't have to turn it in.

I think so, yeah, but I just gotta see these Boogie boys again.

In totally unrelated news Amazon says "See ya" to Seattle even faster. Between the Amazon Tax and this, it is almost like they want to turn their city in to Detroit 2.0 or Gary Indiana 2.0

As others have pointed out, the normal MO for these liberals is to leave for greener pastures to start the cycle anew (vote for bullshit policies that cause white flight and a brain drain on the area). But they have managed to make all cities in the US unattractive places to live in simultaneously. All the traditional blue safe havens for their bullshit are no longer safe; they are on fire.

What's next? Go rural? Small town America is fucked six ways to Sunday due to the corona virus. No way Billy Bob in Nebraska is going to hire Ms. Dangerhair who is self-diagnosed with ADD and pushing 300 pounds to work the farm over his cousin has been out of work since February.

What these idiots don't understand is that you need normal people to build and maintain a normal society. There is a reason why both Hitler and Stalin unperson'ed these fucks as soon as it was convenient: they ruin everything they touch. Pretty hard to take over the world if your Minister of War can't decide what fucking gender he is today.

The people whom with you take over and with whom you rule are an overlapping, but not equal set. Reminds me of Che, who was sent to Bolivia to die after Castro was fed up with his shit. Keeping that guy for that long was a mistake he payed for.

Seattle city councilmember says fire white police officers first

Lisa Herbold suggested that SPD terminations should be made based on race, with white officers laid off first to spare the jobs of BIPOC officers.

thepostmillennial.com

"Seattle City Council has voted to cut the funding of the Seattle Police Department by 50 percent. This as riots return to the city. The massive budget decrease would necessitate the firing of many SPD officers. SPD procedure would indicate that terminations would be based on seniority."
"According to KIRO7 news, the SPD released a breakdown of the ethnicity of the officers who would be laid off based upon seniority; 46 Asian, 47 Black, 56 Hispanic, 59 biracial, and 526 white officers."


Anyone who doesn't think a full blown race war is happening now is a fool. They are actively choosing to hire or fire based on the color of your skin. The cities where they are de-funding the police have only led to more riots. And if you take a peek at any of ANTIFA's social media, you know they don't want less police, they want to abolish the police entirely.

Those who bend the knee get the rope first.

They've been doing this for years, how are you only now cottoning on to it?

They can still work more damage in suburbs. Gentrification tends to happen in rundown areas of urbanized cities; the "bohemian" types need cheap space, they make an area cool and drive up the price, attracting new businesses, etc. Suburbs are over-priced right now, which is what really keeps them out. If that ever gets fixed, or they manage some kind of housing subsidy/voucher, that's where I would expect the next infestation to manifest. We're already seeing marches originate in suburbs of Portland, Seattle, and Louisville, so there's been some partial conversion.

I agree that rural America has things that could keep them out, but remember it also has a lower population count. You only need a small contingent of very obstinate people to affect change, and a transplant of such a group can happen in a lower population/density area relatively quickly.

It's the difference between culture and subculture. If your larger culture is healthy, it's fine to have a nihilistic, destructive, or benignly unproductive sub-culture (doomers, hippies, religious cults, incels, non-reproducing gays, troons, etc) within it. If your larger culture is in danger of becoming destructive or unproductive, then each sub-culture becomes a danger to societal cohesion. The mainstreaming of sub-cultures can be disastrous, if their beliefs haven't been tried on a larger scale than the sub-group.

GWOT and the military-industrial complex has made an entire lifestyle brand around TactiTard culture. It's why you also have camo sportsball hats, 5.11 "tactical' clothing, and Black Rifle Coffee. All of which I have purchased and enjoy. 5.11 pants are comfy (and expensive) af.

A lot of men's fashion have military roots like t shirts, jeans, chinos, aviator sunglasses, bomber jackets, trench coats, chukka and service boots, cargo pants, and cardigans.

What I find stunning about the Denver incident with Malkin is that it was a goddamned pro-police rally. And the Denver cops wouldn't intervene.

Holy shit, guys, do you want to be defunded?

Haha I can confirm, I'm a "combat veteran" but spent the majority of my deployment fixing computers, watching movies and playing WoW on 4k ping. I'll never claim to be any sort of badass cus I'd get found out immediately and it's pure cringe. I enlisted for the free college, why lie?

There have been regular marches beginning in the Minneapolis suburbs for weeks too. Here is another from yesterday:


This is why Biden is pushing for building more subsidized housing in the suburbs and restricting single family homes. They want to invade the burbs too.

The burbs are filled with libtards and also are NIMBY cunts as well. But still stuff like this tells me its a lost cause.

150 Federal officers are deploying to Chicago this week, and people aren't happy about it. I don't have TV service and I don't watch or read the big names in news, because why would I. Is that the stuff people consume to actually think this way?

 

[schizoid PD]

I've been looking through the Twitter of Portland protesters and its pretty amazing how much infrastructure support they have. They have people on the ground, who are getting paid and supplied, Riotribs/Witches/Portland Action Medics, they have imbedded protestors who are there to record themselves getting punched in the face after they refuse to disperse. The head editor of the Portland Mercury is often on the ground there.

This person though was very interesting to me because she knows everything about what groups are available for supplies, who needs supplies, who are the right (wink wink) journalists to support. She even works the bailout fund herself. She is connected to almost every prominent portland protestor account I've seen.

I'd cut Minneapolis some slack this time, since it was the epicenter of this whole thing. And I expect Portland and Seattle's infestation to extend into its suburbs. When suburbs of cities in deep red states start doing this, like in KY and TX, that's when I get worried.

Of course the suburbs are the source of all the over-educated, under-qualified dangerhairs, and the ennui-stricken soyboys. But usually they have to cycle through a university town first, and wind up living somewhere else.

I sure hope the Glow in the Darks™ reading this take notice. They're not just protesters, they have an entire network of funds and logistics. That's probably one of if not the biggest reasons this shit has gone on for so long. They can maintain a force of retards with food and money.

Depends on the burb. The closer to the city, the more you see what you’re talking about though.

Yes. In addition to their echo chambers.

 

[TitusOvid]

Imagine what they could have done with the millions raised for bail funds and Black Lives Matter if they actually cared about investing it in the community. No, they just want to take money away from cops and weaken law enforcement.

 

[Boobie Bomb]

Love the ironic bullshit that when old people march because they don't wanna stay inside Coronavirus cases rise by 100K but the minute the BLM protests start happening about a black porn star died they claim that racism killed the virus. At this point? These fucking liars need to get their reality checked and knocked the fuck out of their skulls.

 

[ErrForceOnez]

I think the governor already said he would pardon them.

I don't know how someone can have the technical and logistical know how she has and say stuff like this.

And then in her Twitter network of the protestors on the ground there.

Have they all gone insane? Or is it just me?
