Dumb bitch Joy Reid says that the cop should have waited 10 seconds before shooting. Doesn't know the difference between an manhunt for the Atlanta shooter and an active foot chase in progress.

How many rounds could someone pop off in 10 seconds from a handgun? Do they make 40 round magazines for some cheap ass saturday night special?

Interesting how CNN mentions Chicago NOW during a cop shooting.

10 seconds. Even I know that's too much time when your adversary has a gun themselves.

Doomsperging incoming:

Has anyone else here read Peter Turchin? He’s a large scale systems historian who predicted a decade back that America was going to hit a bottleneck of crises starting in 2020 and continuing through the decade, very possibly leading to collapse. His view is that societies collapse when three factors come together:

1) elite overproduction - ruling class people reproduce too fast, either literally or by way of education, either way there are more Americans who believe that they deserve elite positions than there are chairs at the table. This leads to intraelite conflict, as they fight over status and the remaining good jobs. Eventually, many surplus elites become counterelites and ally with the plebes. Trump, IMO, was the first of many counterelite leaders. I’m starting to think that the woke religionists are really doing elite warfare. It’s a terrific grift for someone with a high progressive stack score who is otherwise shut out of elite positions. Right now they’re winning at alarming speeds of ideological capture, but if Turchin is right, it’s only a matter of time before a more disciplined version of Trump exploits the anger of normal people about this stuff and rides popular fury all the way to total government control, and/or Balkanization.

2) popular immiseration - it’s harder and harder to be an ordinary working person. Real wages have been flat for decades and you can’t assume you’ll do better than your parents anymore. Very few working class men can still support a family on one income. IMO blaming this sea change on mean feminists is really missing the mega point. The overpopulated elites need to suck more and more money out of the bottom 80% of the economy to keep themselves in the style to which they’d like to become accustomed. Feminism is a convenient scapegoat where you tell women that actually it’s empowering to put your baby in daycare at 6 weeks and go back to work. Anyway, the GOP is clearly starting to pivot toward positioning themselves as the party of the working class. Who can say if they’ll be successful sans Trump. But someone will rude who will speak directly to the anger of normal American men who want to work and provide and resent being told they aren’t allowed to protect their families against threats.

3) loss of faith in government institutions, culminating in a debt crisis where the full faith and credit of the United States means nothing.

It seems very likely to me that we’ll see outbreaks of actual racial violence (not the shrieking antifa accusation fake bullshit kind) within the year, accelerating as we head deeper into the 2020s. It also seems likely that some (media) elites are stoking racial tensions to keep working people from allying with each other and oiling the axles of their tumbrels. Or maybe it’s just an emergent property of a system where it pays better to be a talking head preaching fear and systemic racism. I can’t decide.

Either way, we should probably all leave the cities and learn to grow large quantities of potatoes.

This sounds familiar but I don't recall if I read it in a book or a blog. Can you link the source again? This article here attempts to explain why woke adherants are so fucked up: https://spandrell.com/2017/11/14/biological-leninism/

Unironically, I do wonder if the end result of all this madness is that civil society breaks down to the point that people start bringing back medieval-esque corporal punishment and public execution/torture as a deterrent.

All sorts of crazy old school shit could be making a comeback.

They just keep pushing and pushing.

This is not me being a doomer, everything is cause and effect, if they keep pushing eventually there's going to be a breaking point, that's just a fact.

What are the odds of us not being in a state of civil war by the end of this year? I mean really now.

I see this suggested a lot, and I am of the opinion that there won't be a civil war in the traditional North vs. South sense. Logistically it simply can't play out like that. But there is a cultural civil war and it has been going strong since, I would say, 2014'ish (and it had been ramping up for decades previous to that. Late sixties, at least).

That's exactly what I'm talking about, it definitely won't be a civil war in the traditional sense.

Same here. When I'm in my doomer mood for the year I think about how funny it'll be watching everyone on the continent and maybe even the world running here. But if the world starts over again at least we have a good chance. I actually sleep well knowing how important we are considering the Great Lakes region gets shit on constantly.

You're statistically more likely to get shot by a gang member or ghetto person than a cop in Chicago. If you think about it, that cop shooting is practically a nothingburger in the grand scheme of things.

Why do you think that? Didn't catch fire back in the day due to how polluted it was?

What's funny too is that that "suspect charged" portion is most certainly not all rightful convictions, so in reality, the people actually getting away with murder in Chiraq is a fair bit more than what this chart actually represents.

I know, but any talk I've had with my family about getting a plan in place is met with either "that's crazy talk, you need to stop listening to so many right wing sources" or "if push does come to shove God will just Rapture us all out of here and we'll be fine"

I mean I'd love to believe that but I'm also a believer in the saying "Keep your faith in God but keep your powder dry"

Cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard than gangbangers, to be fair.
