Exactly this. Makes you question the true motives of other posters at times.
Anyway it's done.
Ye I've had other stuff to watch than their multiple social-media accounts (if they are even legit), you just posted a one line tweet nothing more. @Carolina Red has delivered the facts, and as he states @TheReligion was correct all along. All I was asking for was proof for that statement and now that I have it I'll let it rest. Glad I'm amusing you though.
Why is Chris Hayes having cops on his show? Is MSNBC a news network or a PR vehicle?
Question: “Is that your Bible?”
Answer: “It’s a Bible.”
Soon Trump will excommunicate him and then evangelicals will go and burn him.
Very much a PR vehicle. All news channels are.
And what would it be in the opposite direction?
I just watched that interview and didn’t hear anything from him that should be upsetting.
Just stop giving a platform to cops. It is so hard to watch when protesters are being shot and teargassed.
A lot of support to Trump in the comments,or at least it seems 50/50. What do they mean with "paid riots"(Edit:now I know)

You have the repressive part of the state on show in blue and green. The ideolgical part is on TV screens.
That police chief was very well spoken and yesterday had offered a police escort to the Floyd family in a show of support for them.
I think you have to look at it that if they can do this to their own citizens in front of the cameras, imagine what they do to others in foreign countries without the cameras. How many innocent people have they killed in places like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
How many innocent people have died because of the sanctions they have on countries like Iraq, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela. For what? Just because they don't accept American hegemony.
Wow that is beyond shocking . That cop has to do alot of time and the USA need to vote Donald out
Thank you for looking in to that dude!
Unless they are condemning the use of force against protestors it is useless and just PR.
And the cycle repeats as it seems alot of those within law enforcement have served within the US military..
It's all a bit of a mess.
Ugh. MSM is so useless.
Not responding to this post directly.
Mate, I get that you are in a position to view events from a position most of us have never experienced. I agree with a lot of your points in general, I've a brother who is a detective inspector.
But you're swimming against a tide of, actual real shit, when it comes to what's going on stateside right now, keep your powder dry for another day.
UK & Irish policing is a million miles from what we're seeing here, and long may that continue, hopefully.
I think it's more than a bit of mess. I think this is a wake up call to all decent people in America. Look what your government is doing in your name inside America. Just imagine what they have been doing in other countries in your name. Murdering innocent people just because they are different.

Episcopal Bishop Denounces Trump
June 1, 2020 at 8:42 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 141 Comments
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, condemned President Trump for clearing out peaceful protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas in order to stage a photo op in front of her church in a CNN interview.
Said Budde: “I am outraged… Everything he has said and done is to inflame violence. I am beyond. We need moral leadership, and he’s done everything to divide us, and has just used one of the most sacred symbols of the Judeo-Christian tradition.”
She added: “I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen tonight.”
The Washington Post described Budde as “seething.”

Reductive. Trump speaks for himself. Failed at everything at every step, but this goes deeper.
Remember Occupy and BLM movements are older than this presidency.
4d chess.
We have the bestest freedom feck yeah
Why would you not believe that?
There's a 7pm curfew being enforced here in DC tonight and the same planned for tomorrow. I live on a usually busy street and it's deserted right now, but I hear nothing but sirens. These are the most surreal times I've known since the days following 9/11.
I saw a couple of videos of suspicious, strategically placed looking piles of bricks yesterday, I can't remember if I posted them though. But yeah it seems like many, many cops are doing stuff like that.
It’s like you’ve not listened to him speak the last few days.
Hmm. How bout that
A friend of mine in Atlanta said the same last night, he was really on edge. Stay safe!
