Protests following the killing of George Floyd

[Port Vale Devil]

Fecking hell man

Disgusting ain’t it. Piece of shit should never see the light of day again but hopefully he is shitting it every night he has his freedom.

 

[VorZakone]

Wait, did he personally pay the 1m? How does this work?

Beyond disgusting
No way he could afford 1mil on a cops salary. Some right wing group probably funding his bail. Bunch of cnuts.

No idea but I reckon some far right group maybe? Or are bails in the US paid in installments?

Whitewashing has begun. This cnut will probably be found not guilty.

Had to have some sort of outside help. Bail, to my knowledge, can’t be paid in installments. I ran afoul of the law last year & needed to post bail. I offered to pay it myself, I would have had to pay the entirety of it. A close friend paid it, she had to pay 10% of it in cash. Don’t think there were ever payment terms discussed, it was cash on barrelhead.

I read today that the officer involved in the texas petrol station shooting has also posted a 1mil bail bond.

Rightwingers funding their own.

 

[clarkydaz]

will he be going back to work? surely its going to all kick off again on release

 

[MrMarcello]

Bonds are 10-15% up front and there is a co-signor of the bond which then allows the bondsman to go after that person if the perp jumps/skips bail. Or hire a bounty-hunter or enforcement agent to get the perp.

Would love to know what evidence got them the tampering charge...

Maybe they wiped their guns down to remove their fingerprints or tried to sell them.

Insane stuff:
LAtimes: US Military spy planes kept tabs on the protests

Those suburban Sacramento protests were something else, though.

For anyone interested in taking a trip back in time, this oscar-nominated documentary from 1966 has been freely available by the church that (I think?) produced it:


It's set in Omaha, 2 years after the civil rights act, in a church that's actively wrestling with segregation. The world we live in now has lots of absurdities but it feels like another planet altogether.

He's the kind of person that deserves Donald Trump as father in law. Looking forward to never hearing from him again soon.

 

[MrMarcello]

Wonder if Kushner cried when his dad was convicted and sent to prison.

Love how the laziness trope gets drug out yet again here:

He’s such a hateful little twat.

 

[nimic]

He’s such a hateful little twat.

He's a crypto-fascist. Actually, I'm not sure he's even crypto. He's just a fascist.

 

[e.cantona]

Forgot to add, I don't like Kushner..

 

[Foxbatt]

I saw the Kelly and Wright show last week and about Black lives matter and how much racism Wright has faced when he played. He said it was tough when his England team mates did not stand up for him when he gets abused when playing for England. There is so much of institutionalised racism everywhere. Surely there must be a good reason why there is not more than one black referee in the PL? I do not think there is any chairman or even a CEO in the PL?

Kushner is an absolute twat. First time I've heard of this McWhorter fellow, and I think I like Kushner better.

Do you know how may black referees there is?

Wait, I thought you posted this as an example of BS that gets thrown around, like the nonsense Kushner was spouting. I checked your posts in this thread and it seems you actually rate this guy. I'm speechless.

Edit: Just to add, I wasn't trying to be funny. With Kushner you can assume wilful ignorance, but this guy? He knows what he's doing.

This guy. Wow - reframe the argument, introduce a bunch of strawmen and debunk them. Excellent work McWhorter.

Ok. I'm sure you are correct

 

[MrMarcello]

McWhorter was spot on about the use of "thug" replacing that other derogative term in an NPR bit a few years back.

 

[e.cantona]

Had to google that "npr bit", I wouldn't know. He's spot on about a lot of things.

 

[Foxbatt]

On the show they said only one which was Rennie who has retired.

Sorry i meant on general.

Is it a case of there actually being no black refs to pick from?

Or is there black refs and they arent being picked?

I think we need to know the answer to that question first before asking why isnt there any in the pl

 

[Withnail]

Ok. I'm sure you are correct

Well the claim that a lot of the issues are based on poverty and admitting people of colour are more likely to be poor while glossing over and failing to delve into historical, socio-economic and political reasons why that might be the case seems a bit disingenuous to me.

I take it you disagree?

Well it's like the manager thing and I think it goes deeper than that.

Are you saying if there are no black refs to choose from that there is no problem?

I don't know. I might and I might not. The guy's been thinking about this stuff for 30 years. He even says so at the start of the five minute clip I posted. If you're curious I suggest you look into it.

Look into what? I've told you what I think.

You on the other hand make a passive aggressive comment to me and then refuse to give your opinion. It's a bit childish to be honest.

OK. Just because maybe I'm a bit slow and you calling me childish. What's the passive aggressive comment I made to you?

You told me very little. It's disingenuous to gloss over "historical, socio-economic and political reasons". I might and might not disagree in context of your question, "I take it you disagree", so I told you the guy's been thinking about this for more then five minutes in this video. You should look into it if you're curious.

I should look into whether or not you disagree?

Ok. I'm sure you are correct
