    oh s--- this reminded me i didn't get back to you earlier about this, my bad..

    I tried to find the original tweet but couldn't at that point..I saw others mention this same statement though, I believe it originally came out in the newspaper or online as the Minneapolis police department's statement on what happened.

    Sorry wish I could find the original source, but I believe it was straight from their police department. Scary to imagine how much something like this has happened, especially before people had camera phones..cops just cover it up with some BS press release.

    Black Lives Matter protest, Bristol, UK today:

    They pulled down a statue of local “legend” Edward Colston who was a very prominent figure in the slave trade.


    it’s estimate around 19,000 slaves died on his ships - so the protestors did the same to him that was down to the slaves: threw him in the sea:

    real blow to the “please be polite and don’t make a mess” losers when the only city to burn down its police precinct is also the first one to get city gov committed to abolition

    Old man is a dog whistle for “has a job” lolllllll

    Not doing this with you again. I will say it’s genuinely weird for you to come here flaunting your supposed “superiority” over people who simply don’t want people and minority communities to get hurt. Or who don’t want trump to have his campaign playbook handed to him (again). Stop being smug.

    Underemployed @WPG is a bad look. And we both know it’s not Trump or Biden’s fault - you simply don’t know how to pick your battles, or (occasionally) stfu.

    if you “don’t want people and minorities to get hurt” you should give a f--- about addressing the problem of policing in american cities instead of hanging from biden’s nutsack

    edit- truly cannot believe that millions of people risked their health during a pandemic to protest their communities being ravaged by police violence, you sat on here snarking about them while they won material change, and you have the nerve to call others smug

    I’m calling you smug. You are! About rap, about the Twins. And no - you can’t “outconcern and outcare” me. You don’t know what I’ve done, donated to or attended.

    And please you’re extremely glib and unthoughtful about the left, about Bernie - if anyone is being an ideologue about this, it’s you, again a person with extremely limited adult-life experience. Case in point: by your own admission you place your precious cause above the threat of a pandemic, and willfully overlook the long term economic harm being done. Truly unbelievable.

    And I’m literally rolling on the floor laughing at your snide slap about me posting here - you’re posting more than me!!!!! And this all started bc you were snarky about “losers” who dare critique the POV you happen to (at the moment) be d-ck sucking. Shape shifter.

    Do not respond if you’re just going to resort to your typical tactics of ad hom, goal post shifting or gaslighting. I don’t want to hurt you but I have the high ground Anakin.
