Rugian Member	Fri Jan 27 06:03:35 Here we go! ---- As another Black man dies at the hands of the police, a lesson in whom the system stands up for All five of the officers involved in a deadly confrontation with a motorist in Tennessee are Black. And when it comes to the calculus of punishment, Blackness matters. by Solomon Jones | Columnist Updated Jan. 26, 2023 Five Memphis, Tenn., police officers were fired 10 days after civil rights activists say they brutalized a young Black motorist named Tyre Nichols earlier this month when he tried to run away from a car stop. Nichols, a 29-year-old father, was hospitalized after being confronted by the police on Jan. 10 and died three days later. The swift firings were met with rumblings from academics who said that the pendulum was finally swinging toward justice — that the decisive discipline in this case would soon become the model for handling such things. For a moment, I was hopeful that the academics were right, but then I saw pictures of the officers in question. All five of them are Black, and when it comes to the calculus of punishment, Blackness matters. The Blackness of these officers helped me make sense of the conspicuous silence of the police unions who so readily defend the indefensible in other brutality cases. Their Blackness also allowed me to better understand why politicians in Memphis condemned the officers for a beating that Nichols’ family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci described as “violent” and “savage” after reviewing video evidence. “We are a city of laws,” Memphis Councilman Frank Colvett told the local CBS affiliate in the wake of the firings. “No matter how disgusting this video is, make no mistake, it does not matter what uniform you wear, what kind of shirt you wear, what job you have, you are not above the law. If these men, if this video is as disgusting as I’m told it is, then they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” I found his words to be fascinating because such statements are rarely given so soon after an incident like this. There is normally a slow-moving investigation. The officers are well-represented by their union, and their right to due process is jealously guarded. However, in this case, the video evidence that police departments so often try to hide was the basis for a lightning-quick decision to terminate those involved. Make no mistake: If the accused officers are indeed found guilty, I believe they should be punished accordingly. But none of us should be naive enough to ignore the double standard at work here. And acknowledging that hypocrisy need not be read as excusing police misconduct when the suspected perpetrators are Black; on the contrary, it’s meant to underscore that in our nation of inequities, justice — even when it involves those who are charged with enforcing it — is hardly ever meted out equally. According to the Memphis Police Department, officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith were fired for violating departmental policies on use of force, duty to intervene, and duty to render aid. “The egregious nature of this incident is not a reflection of the good work that our officers perform, with integrity, every day,” the department said in a statement. In my view, that means the five officers in question don’t represent the department. More important, the department doesn’t represent them. That’s what those Black officers should have understood. While working in the city where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, in a profession whose origins are rooted in slave patrols, why would those five Black officers believe that they could mimic the behavior of the kind of white officers who’ve long brutalized Black people without consequence? Why would those Black police officers believe they would be protected? Perhaps, like so many who get caught up in racist systems, they believed it when they were told they were part of a team. Maybe they internalized the rhetoric when they were told that the only color that mattered in policing was blue. As this case moves forward, however, they will learn, through painful experience, what Black parents have told their children for generations: Black people cannot engage with impunity in the same kind of corruption they might see from their white counterparts. The rules are not the same for us. Having said that, I still want justice, because these Black officers, who allegedly beat a young Black man so badly that he died three days later, were carrying out the work of a racist system. Rather than standing up against the brutalization of their own people, they engaged in it, and now, the same system they sought to uphold is going to be their undoing. This should be a lesson for every Black person working in any system that is steeped in racism. Do what you can to stand up against the system, because when you are in trouble, that system won’t stand up for you.
Paramount Member	Fri Jan 27 09:52:21 I wonder if we will see sanctions on the US because of its repeated deadly police violence against its citizens. EU recently slapped sanctions on Iran because its police used deadly violence against its citizens during recent riots. In the US, the violence has been going on for decades, so what is the EU waiting for? The EU are not hypocrites, are they?
Sam Adams Member	Fri Jan 27 09:54:00 "when he tried to run away from a car stop." Sounds like the beating was well deserved.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Jan 27 10:43:07 Panty-fa is already planning riots in usual cities. Cops forming up. Georgia national guard called out.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Jan 27 18:29:14 the cinematography on the bodycams is shit (worse than usual) very anti-climactic videos probably only decent view: http://twitter.com/Worldsource24/status/1619127178389766146
Rugian Member	Fri Jan 27 18:45:10 ^ very convenient that the footage doesn't show what happened prior to the beatdown
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Jan 27 18:46:56 the bodycams have audio & the first encounter he escaped so good for that part anyway a lot of 'give me your hands'

Cherub Cow Member	Sat Jan 28 07:20:19 Something something, social justice, something "BREAKING: Hibbett sports store has been looted here in Memphis @TPUSA" [After midnight; January 28th, 2023] http://twitter.com/DrewHLive/status/1619250417791283200 Looking like another criminal killed and being treated like a martyr when the truth is that Tyre Nichols deserved to die. And Jason Whitlock is correct in that RVAwonk Twitter clip from Tucker Carlson; weak people not given authority figures are more likely to adopt slave morality and walk right into their own suicides. A generation raised by single mothers is unlikely to know virtue and character. The people in the comment section pretending that this is crazy logic are likely all resentful idiots — well at home in the left-wing psychosis. I was checking other left-wing psychosis accounts from the 2020 BLM Insurrection, but not all of them have been activated. @SassiItalyTours was one of the psychopaths who was looking for "fascists" in 2020 (he used his truck to hit someone who was trying to pass by a protest that was blocking a road), but he's not rioting yet, even though he's still talking about 2020 in his recent timeline. D.C. psychopaths had a protest planned for this weekend anyways, so that was fortuitous ( https://twitter.com/AMCScam/status/1616885770622742528 ). We're about to see a lot of useful idiots with Ukraine flags in their bios doing their usual terrorist shit.
murder Member	Sat Jan 28 08:05:15 How very Republican of you. Confronted with a video of a man being murdered by 5 cops, you brush it aside and focus on some store getting looted. "And Jason Whitlock is correct in that RVAwonk Twitter clip from Tucker Carlson; weak people not given authority figures are more likely to adopt slave morality and walk right into their own suicides." Yes, because if there's one thing we know about slaves it's that they lacked for authority figures.
murder Member	Sat Jan 28 11:31:14 Charli Huxley @ImKnotTheOne Jason Whitlock and Candace Owens are the types that would have snitched on Harriet Tubman… ================ Without a doubt.
Rugian Member	Sat Jan 28 11:48:11 By today's standards, Tubman would have been arrested and tried for abetting insurrection.
Rugian Member	Sat Jan 28 11:50:39 "John Brown and Harpers Ferry In April 1858, Tubman was introduced to the abolitionist John Brown, an insurgent who advocated the use of violence to destroy slavery in the United States. Although she never advocated violence against whites, she agreed with his course of direct action and supported his goals.[81] Like Tubman, he spoke of being called by God, and trusted the divine to protect him from the wrath of slaveholders. She, meanwhile, claimed to have had a prophetic vision of meeting Brown before their encounter.[82] Thus, as he began recruiting supporters for an attack on slaveholders, Brown was joined by "General Tubman", as he called her.[81] Her knowledge of support networks and resources in the border states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware was invaluable to Brown and his planners. Although other abolitionists like Douglass did not endorse his tactics, Brown dreamed of fighting to create a new state for those freed from slavery, and made preparations for military action. He believed that after he began the first battle, the enslaved would rise up and carry out a rebellion across the slave states.[83] He asked Tubman to gather the formerly enslaved then living in present-day Southern Ontario who might be willing to join his fighting force, which she did.[84] On May 8, 1858, Brown held a meeting in Chatham, Ontario, where he unveiled his plan for a raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia.[85] When word of the plan was leaked to the government, Brown put the scheme on hold and began raising funds for its eventual resumption. Tubman aided him in this effort and with more detailed plans for the assault.[86] Tubman was busy during this time, giving talks to abolitionist audiences and tending to her relatives. In late 1859, as Brown and his men prepared to launch the attack, Tubman could not be contacted.[87] When the raid on Harpers Ferry took place on October 16, Tubman was not present. Some historians believe she was in New York at the time, ill with fever related to her childhood head injury.[87] Others propose she may have been recruiting more escapees in Ontario,[88] and Kate Clifford Larson suggests she may have been in Maryland, recruiting for Brown's raid or attempting to rescue more family members. Larson also notes that Tubman may have begun sharing Frederick Douglass's doubts about the viability of the plan.[89] The raid failed; Brown was convicted of treason, murder, and inciting a slave rebellion, and he was hanged on December 2. His actions were seen by many abolitionists as a symbol of proud resistance, carried out by a noble martyr.[90] Tubman herself was effusive with praise. She later told a friend: "[H]e done more in dying, than 100 men would in living."[91]" Material support for treason, sedition, insurrection, and rebellion. Charge her under the Patriot Act and throw her in Gitmo for 25 years.
Sam Adams Member	Sat Jan 28 14:58:53 http://www...ce-department-jones/index.html The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism Cnn strikes again.
Cherub Cow Member	Sun Jan 29 00:41:32 [Left-Wing Dogma Bot]: "Yes, because if there's one thing we know about slaves it's that they lacked for authority figures." You think you're being cute, but you're correct in the sense that slaves did indeed lack moral authorities. They are taught by people who intend to enslave them, just as the DNC teaches the slaves that it creates via this "education". It propagandizes minority communities and resentful white people into hating themselves and blaming externally, denying them the name of action and a will to power. [Left-Wing Dogma Bot]: "How very Republican of you. Confronted with a video of a man being murdered by 5 cops, you brush it aside and focus on some store getting looted." False, a misrepresentation, and a projection. If we held that same standard upon you, you pulled the same tactic with that Whitlock clip. But, being an immoral slave, you are incapable of such introspection, so pointing out your double standard is meaningless. Slaves only understand a whip, recognizing no other argument. And your misrepresentation is that I "brush[ed] it aside". I did not. I outright said that Tyre Nichols deserved to die. .. [Rugian]: "By today's standards, Tubman would have been arrested and tried for abetting insurrection." Yep, and by the North, no less, lest we forget that the North was and continues to be the most racist conglomeration of sickly immoralists. Was it not New Jersey that was last to abolish slavery? And was it not Lincoln who created the Emancipation Proclamation specifically because he believed that it would provoke plantation slaves into raping the female plantation masters who were left at home while their husbands were at war? And was it not Lincoln who showed that this was indeed the play (i.e., that "freeing" but not actually freeing the slaves was a battle tactic) when he continued his racism after the war and insisted that slaves be sent away to Haiti and Africa, since he believed them too stupid to be incorporated into the United States? Is it not still today that it is left-wing psychopaths who change their voice and tone to that of a pet-owner talking to a dog when they meet a black person, whereas the right tends to speak to black people with the same good faith that they give to any other human? We know that the left enslaves black communities, holds the greatest racism, sets the most racialist policy, uses Planned-Parenthood eugenics against them once their district votes are captured, and would indeed have enslaved Tubman if given the chance. Their permanent imperative is the degradation of humanity. .. [Sam Adams]: "The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism" I explained this on Twitter when people were speculating about the consequence of BLM burning down black cities following black police killing a black man: [After the riots and self-destruction, the result is a] "further rejection of cause and consequence which reinforces slave morality. I.e., unable to see what truly caused this killing, they blame the readymade phantom of an "oppressor". This blame further self-destructs the community, which blames its own actions on the phantom." They are addicted to slave morality. They can only ever believe in an "oppressor", even when that oppressor is wholly absent. This is why they use the Salem spectral-evidence of "internalized racism/whiteness" as driving the officers. It's a deluded system of causality that must always find an external agent to avoid personal accountability. Meanwhile, "Memphis cops charged in Tyre Nichols murder hired after PD relaxed job requirements" [New York Post; January 28th, 2023] http://nyp...fter-pd-relaxed-job-standards/ • "“They’re desperate. They want police officers,” Alcazar said. “They’re going through it, they check off some boxes, saying, ‘Ok, they’re good enough, get them on.”" • "The department showed signs of struggle with recruiting new police officers, offering $15,000 signing bonuses in 2021 and 2022, Fox 13 reported." This is the same "pay gap" strategy I've pointed out before. In the case of departments, they've gutted governance with Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) strategies, making sure that DIE candidates are most likely to apply. This drives down competence by incentivizing DIE quotas. The result is DIE infiltration, and the end state is likely that 13% of police officers will be committing 50% of the suspect killings. ;)
