il_serpente Posted June 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2020 So, apparently the way we change the law enforcement part of this is by not having Joe Biden continue to not do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look it up, there’s 109 schools in 15 states that bear the name of a confederate general, looked at statues and road names and parks and public spaces etc...there’s too many of them to start counting, Alabama alone has 107 public spaces with a confederate monument the state flag of Arkansas still has confederate stars on it 12 states have a confederate Memorial Day, Texas and Florida call it confederate heroes day, you get a day off work to remember those who went to war to keep slavery (I appreciate the simplicity of that - keep the “southern way of life”) thats madness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) what was the guy at the end arrested for? and I watched that on the rueters website following the link, the video rolled on to a news report from Vegas about 5 cops being shot and a guy being shot by police after he turned up outside a government building with a couple of guns and wearing body armour Edited June 5, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they have not started on his buildings. If Trumploses the election, he will be arrested.

Chindie Posted June 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2020 Less than a month ago a bunch of heavily armed men 'protested' inside government buildings because of the lockdown. They were left alone. Now we've seen entirely unthreatening purple getting beaten, arrested, fired on. A bloke on his knees begging for dialogue picked up and arrested. Elderly people pushed to the ground. Journalists fired on. People taking tear gas cannisters to the face from point blank range. ...I wonder what the difference is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Police behaviour has long term consequences as to how large swathes of the public will view them. In the areas of Britain that were formerly the heartlands of the coal mining industry, to this day, the memories of the thuggery that Thatchers police did, is still an open sore. The damage being done by some officers to their status in America will possibly take decades to repair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statute of limitations hasn't run out on all his crimes by the time he leaves office In 2008, when Bush lost, and people left his administration, there were people guilty of a wide range of actionable crimes, including authorising torture techniques and implementing secret warrantless wiretapping. Nobody got prosecuted, and there is no reason to think that anybody from the Trump administration will be prosecuted either, and certainly not the man himself. Biden - who is, after all, no radical - will conclude that for the benefit of 'healing', 'the country needs to move on' and absolutely nothing will happen to Trump. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Worst thing that will happen to Trump if he loses is that he might get banned from Twitter. Granted that will sting more than a little for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
