So, did this shit peter out after the police started pushing back? I stopped watching around then.

Another angle of the window smashing earlier in LA. This time with hammers.
i think it absolutely is being directed from the top, but that 'top' isn't democratic party officials.
the dems aren't the source of this, they are just one of many organisations and institutions that the enemy has subverted, infiltrated, and bent to his will. the real source lies elsewhere.
Then the revolution won't be televised, it'll be live streamed. What's going on right now, it's not like there's a killswitch, that's not how this works. The people on the street getting gassed, they aren't going to go home. If NBC and CNN and FOX aren't going to cover them, they're going to figure it out.
So I left the Portland protest about 50 minutes ago.
I went somewhat open-minded. I've read posts here, but I have enough friends that go to these who keep talking about how it's awesome and peaceful and the feds attack people for no reason that I wanted to see for myself.
I thought maybe I'd get tear gassed. Or maybe I'd see the feds attacking people for no reason. Or maybe I'd see the protestors setting fires and causing havoc. I also though there was a good chance I wouldn't see much of anything.
What I saw I didn't anticipate. It was a PARTY. It's a fucking street festival with people hanging out and chatting with their friends and socializing. Tents selling t-shirts and goods and presumably the rib shop somewhere in there.
I did see some people marching and hear some speakers, but the parks outside the courthouse felt like an anarchist summer festival. I had the sense beforehand that at least some of the people doing this are simply bored and wanted to get out of the house. That's basically confirmed for me now.
As a caveat, I didn't get very close to the real action, if there was any.
My boyfriend was with me, and he was initially supportive but became less and less so as we walked around. He's extremely concerned about transmitting coronavirus and didn't want to get any closer than we had to so we didn't get into the fray. I didn't see the wall of moms or vets or leaf blower dads, just the typical people you would expect to see at a Portland protest.
I also saw an alpaca, because of course there's an alpaca, it's Portland..

Overall, I'm underwhelmed.
Cops should bring in a generator and electrify the everloving shit outta the fencesThe feds might need to act quicker then they normal do, like once they start shaking/fucking around with the fence they need to respond, instead of waiting for the fence to break given the numbers.
"Oh no. Who could have forseen this twist of fate! What irony!"
Entire thing sounds like a Twilight Zone episode now.

They basically admitted they just want to seize property. Somebody better have that in recording."We aren't here for the protest, we are here to occupy this shit".
They literally have said they will occupy the courthouse, so stop trying to police them.
An east euro drug dealer I used to know kept his drugs in a bucket in toilet bowl. The toilet tank was replaced with what looked like a 55 gallon drum, the flush handle was rigged with a solenoid, and that was connected to a door alarm via some relays, and a wireless doorbell used as an on/off switch.Knock and announce is the standard rule, at least on paper, but no-knocks are becoming more and more common, and sometimes cops will do a no-knock even when the warrant is the standard kind. This is for the safety of the police themselves as well as the public because simply doing a home invasion out of nowhere is going to startle people into violent responses a fair percentage of the time. The only time a no-knock should happen is when it would be less dangerous, although stupidly, just having drugs involved often justifies a no-knock based on the concept that people will destroy the drugs if given any chance. While this is true, it doesn't justify endangering the public. Only actual danger, like an armed and known to be violent suspect, should justify a no-knock.
Damn, Seattle PD is not fucking around. Wonder what changed.

Terrorism.
Jesus, somebody slap that screeching chick.
Not to get her to get a grip, just for shits and giggles.
I know this!!! Errm, is it, "abortion should be made legal up to 480 months post birth????"
Lol, if I had seen this in any other context, I'd have thought it was irl shitposting.Oh... You gotta be shitting me.
I hope this isn't late, but it was so funny I almost literally spit my morning coffee out.
No clue when or what city this happened in, but I figured you folks might get a kick out of it too.
What a way to start the day. lol
Those numbers are meaningless on their own. They need to put them into context. Sure it's lower numbers for black people but blacks are what? 13%? If black people, at only 13% of the population are doing say, 28% of rapes? That's fucking shocking.“BLM content account posts PROPAGANDA!“
“It hurts itself in its own confusion!”

Stinger grenades are essentially a flash bang, cs, and rubber fuck off device all in oneAren't there some kind of grenades packed with rubber balls for crowd control? I swear they exist and I bet they'd work.
Although frankly I'd rather they lob some Willy Pete in there.
I am not "letting" parts of the country burn. I'm letting Democrat parts of the country burn. What do you want me to do? Go there and get beat up until I snap and defend myself, then have the media run 24/7 stories of how the right is doing the real violence and the poor widdle protestors are just trying to be peaceful. It's not my job to make sure that these cities not shit themselves like little toddlers. It's not Trump's job either. If the people running these places had the will to do so, these riots would be contained within a day, but there isn't. Why is it my job now to do the job they were fucking elected for?Let parts of the country burn so you could do a "I told you so." Despicable.
