Black Lives Matter. Still

The officers were looking for a suspect who lived in a different part of the city and was already in police custody after he was arrested earlier.

The gunfire from the officers struck objects in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom and both bedrooms, according to the lawsuit.

“The officers failed to use any sound reasonable judgment whatsoever when firing more than 25 blind shots into multiple homes (I suspect this should be “rooms,” but ???) and causing the wrongful death of Breonna,” according to the suit.

But we should trust the cops. right?

This could also go in the Drums of War thread. Or the No One is Illegal thread.

As before:

…and the definition of who is “American” has never included all of the people who live in America.

It is widely known that he only consider the white population of red states to be “Americans.” The rest are inconvenient at best.

No one gets shot, but this is still a tough video to watch. You can hear the kid bawling at one point, and then the grandmother…

but no one was killed, at the very least.

Racist matters aside…

Fuck. You’d think 7 cops could handcuff 1 man without that kind of display of force.

They are very special snowflakes. That’s why they need so many laws to bend to protect them.

shows a massive white hand pushing a black man away from beside a new yellow Volkswagen Golf parked on the street, then moving him to an open doorway and flicking him inside a French cafe.

Commentators on social media also noted that as the German-language slogan “Der Neue Golf” - “The New Golf” - fades into view, the jumble of letters can be read as a racial slur for a brief moment.

And the cafe’s name is Petit Colon, which in French literally means the “Little Colonist.”

On a somewhat different but not unrelated theme:

White liberals think that white supremacy is about southern yokels prancing about in bedsheets, when it’s actually about the fundamental structure of white societies and foreign policies.

Tsk tsk, so twisted and evil, calling white people animals like that.

At least it was more “Sorry, we really fucked up,” rather than a “Sorry if you were offended” nopology. I have loved VW since I was a kid. My first car was a '76 Superbeetle. The last several years have not been kind to my feelings of affection, and while I still love the old Beetles, the company itself has a hell of a lot of work ahead of it if it is ever going to get back in my good graces. (Not that it cares, of course.) This does not help.

Looks like original video was pulled, but I’m sure it has many copies circulating. Not sure I can watch it, though, based on the thumbnail in the onebox.
