Impossible. All the lefties have spent the past two days telling me he just had “expired tags,” or they were hassling him over “air fresheners.” (I don’t know what they mean about the second one, but I kept hearing people repeat it, so…)

Well come on, man! $820 is real money!

Under the $950 threshold btw.

If it weren’t for the overseas media–the Daily Mail and RT in particular–Americans would have very little idea of what’s going on in their own country.

But how many Americans read the Daily Mail or RT? Several thousand, probably. How does that compare with the tens of millions who follow the MSM?

And how does it compare with the readership of alternative media such as takis, vdare, and unz.com?

This is all part of the plan.

It’s all about dividing people up. Start with a story about a black man who is shot by police. Make sure that two stories can be told at the same time:

– Violent felon resists arrest, gets shot

And

– Saintly Black Man, as innocent as the Lamb of God and just as worthy of worship, is mercilessly gunned down by white Hitler cops, who are only the tip of the white supremacist systemic racist institutions that must all be destroyed.

Shitlibs are only for police brutality when cops are arresting old white people outside for not wearing a mask. Then they’re critical of police for not being brutal enough.

If the female officer hadn’t shot him, he might have pulled a gun from his vehicle and killed her and her partner, or sped off and killed a pedestrian or innocent motorist.

I had a feeling something like this would come up.
Guess I’m prescient. Yeah,thats the ticket.

Here’s an interesting clip where Duante demonstrates principles of responsible firearm ownership:

https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/msm-will-never-show-you-this-video-of-daunte-wright-waving-around-his-gun/

Ever-helpful CNN tells us that yes, this case is about the air freshener.

Only racists would mention things like stolen cars, violence against women, stuff like that. Funny how violence against women is suddenly okay when committed by heroes like Daunte and St. George.

He sho’ had a nice car for a 20-year old dirtbag. BTW, I haven’t seen what work that he did–y’know –Work. Was he a cardiothoracic surgeon, theoretical physicist, Ambassador to Luxembourg-or anything at all? He had a little sprog (one, that we know of) a couple of years ago–where her food come from? (that was Ebonics).

Another productive member of society has had her life destroyed because criminal thug lives are just as important as productive member of society lives. Imagine if Einstein had gone to jail for accidentally stepping on an ant. Such waste.

From Andy Ngo’s nice centralisation of video footage from the violence.

The mayor of Brooklyn Center meeting with ‘peaceful protestors’ while wearing a ballistic helmet.

https://twitter.com/mayor_elliott/status/1381819453306994689

Now, in fairness, I understand what the mayor is doing with his wording, he’s saying that he spoke to actual peaceful protestors (Who, from the looks of them look local and black and not thrill seeking middle class white antifa out to attack police stations.) but it’s still amazing that he kept his ballistic helmet on for this photo, (It’s actually amazing that a mayor was just walking around in a ballistic helmet at all) unless he really was in fear even then. I understand what he is saying and think Andy Ngo is unfair in his criticism. I think it’s highly likely these people were peaceful protestors and his wording make it clear he was obliquely referencing the other, not peaceful protestors.

This is the standard gear antifa are told to equip themselves with for the purposes to helping to conceal their own and others faces and to use as shields like we see here.

“Air freshener,” LOL… he dindu nuffins’.

$820 would buy a quite a few air fresheners…

Very useful information, Steve, and startling to read. Not to speak ill of the dead, but Daunte was a person whom society is well rid of. Yikes…

If it weren’t for the overseas media–the Daily Mail

Daily Mail is the Hot Sheets from Men In Black. Highly recommended.

I also like this part of the AP copy about the resignation of Kim Potter.

https://apnews.com/article/daunte-wright-protests-minnesota-police-shooting-taser-73b1af26c9ed5d437988d8d1c72bb311

The modest suburb just north of Minneapolis has seen its demographics shift dramatically in recent years. In 2000, more than 70% of the city was white. Today, a majority of residents are Black, Asian or Latino.

It just happened, like the rain and just what proportion Black, Asian or Latino? Can we talk to some of the Asians and Lainto residents, particularly immigrants, how they feel about black crime?

I can’t be the only one who could not care less about any of this anymore. Go ahead. Riot. Loot. Burn down the cities. I no longer care. I’ll do my best to distance myself from it and will defend myself as needed, but I otherwise couldn’t give a rat’s ass.

I hope iSteve will find some article about some now martyred dirtbag that comes from a MSM source where all of the relevant known actual facts are included in the first or second paragraph.

No, not single sentence “breaking news” alerts stuff, but the kind of reporting that some here remember from the 20th century, back in ancient times when facts seemed to matter.

Said facts might include pending or past criminal charges, for instance. Not mere recitations from relatives or supposed friends attesting to what a decent fellow the decedent really was. Or the recent “mental health” problems they were “working to overcome.” Ditto for claims of “aspiring rapper” or “plans to become an electrician” after a few decades of revolving jailhouse doors.

Of course the Daily Mail will soon be banned for some reason here in the US. Illegal import of newsprint, maybe. Oh, make that unlicensed import of foreign electrons. In the new Biden tax plan.

Facts that interfere with The Narrative are de facto efforts to encourage sedition. No longer permitted.

Yeah, but there was the gun.

A Globe investigation found that the Boston Police Department in 1995 filed a criminal complaint against Rose for sexual assault on a 12-year-old.

Why are there so many pedophiles in positions of power?

Powerful interests&individuals want puppets who they can blackmail. So if you’re an oligarch or a military/intel agency who wants a loyal&pliable puppet, the ideal candidate is a pedophile. That’s why there are so many pedophiles in influential positions.

A pedophile can never assert his independence from his benefactors. If he does, his benefactors can ruin him with incriminating photos, sex tapes, correspondence, and documents. His benefactors could even find a victim and get him to come forward.

More broadly speaking, any type of blackmail is nice to have over your puppet. Out of all forms of blackmail, sexual blackmail is the most powerful. Out of the perverse sexual behaviors, pedophilia is the worst.

Who runs the world?

Blackmailers (especially sexual blackmailers) run the world. These blackmailers are usually pimps, who are affiliated with military/intel agencies&oligarchs.

For example, Jeffrey Epstein ran a massive-sized prostitution ring that blackmailed global elites (Clintons, British royals, Hollywood, Ivy League academics, politicians, media, etc). The ring was financed by business magnate Leslie Wexner, with the Israeli Mossad collecting the sexual blackmail tapes. While Epstein pimped adults&teens primarily, he trafficked children too.

If you want to have a sophisticated understanding of the nature of power, you must do more research into prostitution rings that cater to the elites.

Examples:

-Jeffrey Epstein
-The Finders
-Presidio military base
-Boystown in Omaha/Larry King
-Craig Spence
-Pizza Gate

This stuff is all real, but only a few know.

If you watch Stanley Kubrick’s film “Eyes Wide Shut,” you’ll gain a better understanding of these elite prostituion rings. You’ll also gain a better understanding of the elite’s bizarre obsession with the Occult (like Marina Abramovich and Satanic ceremonies).

In addition to these articles being wiped off the internet, there are only like two photos of Craig Spence that you can find online, which I think is very curious for a high profile lobbyist.

(It’s actually amazing that a mayor was just walking around in a ballistic helmet at all)

In one sense, yes. But in another (very real) sense, it’s an article of apparel which may come in handy more and more, for many of us.

“Get the white people to the front!”

#BLM protesters demand that whites be used as human shields.

Finally, a strategy nearly everyone can agree on.

Rant incoming.
Summary: the system should stop being schitzo! It’s overly harsh on minor / unimportant things and irresponsibly lenient or slow on important / dangerous things.

The classic theory put forth in general is that once an officer has declared an arrest, then he must effect it because the stability of society would otherwise be undermined AND if the guy gets away who KNOWS how many people he might kill.

While i agree with the first part, prosecutors and the courts have made a total mockery of the second part and given the lie to it.

The article doesn’t say how the court came to know about Daunte’s “failure to not possess a firearm or ammunition” while out on bail, but that was already 9 months ago. What steps, if any, did the court, the sheriff’s office, the police or the bail bondsman take during that time to apprehend him? (my guess is approximately nothing)

And this wasn’t for fare skipping , jaywalking or marijuana possession… it’s attempted robbery with a gun. What is the point of all these laws both gun laws and anti violence laws if they’re not actually enforced against the people who commit violent crime?

This young man was caught committing a violent crime with a gun at age 19 (it is unknown how many other crimes and of what seriousness he committed before that) and he has been walking the street and committing who knows how many more crimes for the 16 months since then.

If he had lived, what would even be the point of putting him in jail for 3 or 5 or 20 years 2, 3 or 4 years after he was first caught?
Neither is society being protected from him during that time nor is he being rehabilitated or prevented from descending further into criminality.

Our system is a ridiculous jumble of contradictions. First we fight to arrest people “on principle” (not in this case really but others; e.g. Floyd for passing a phony $20). Then just let them out a few hours later, sometimes forever, sometimes for years… but then throw the book at them and put them in jail for 10 years.
I understand the philosophical claims behind the various parts, but from a practical implementation point of view it’s a mess, some of it stuck in mentalities form decades or centuries ago.

(note, i’m not crying for Daunte. he made his bed. And the cop shouldn’t have resigned and neither should have the police chief. And the black city manager, who was fired by the black mayor for saying the cop was entitled to due process. should sue the city. )

Completely irrelevant; just like with George Floyd, this is not about who the victim was, but about actions of police officers involved. Cops have no right to execute people on the street at will, even if they were criminals – end of story.
They should also be able to tell the difference between their guns and teasers, or they should not be allowed to carry either.

OT: A very Florida news item: Black woman runs over and kills a female New York judge, the latter being almost a Ruth Bader Ginsburg clone. The black was screaming she was Harry Potter when apprehended. I bet the relatives of the judge are regretting every libtard ruling she ever handed down from the bench.

https://cbs12.com/news/local/woman-claims-to-be-harry-potter-after-deadly-hit-and-run

By the way, that BLM founder who bought a pricy home actually bought 4 of them. One has an airplane hanger and runway. For drug running, perhaps?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/marxist-black-lives-matter-founder-didnt-just-buy-million-dollar-compound-bought-four-high-end-homes-complete-airplane-hangars/

How does an assailant get bail for a crime involving a gun, while telling the victim that he’s going to shoot her if she doesn’t hand over the money? It’s bizarre.

Cops should all move to Florida. Dirtbags get greased for less, cops get a commendation. Local sheriff “accidentally” hit a dirtbag crossing the highway, got lots of public praise and support.

He could have been a baby raping serial grandma killer. All you need to know for the reactions you are seeing is …black, dead, cop involved.

“If the female officer hadn’t shot him, he might have pulled a gun from his vehicle and killed her and her partner, or sped off and killed a pedestrian or innocent motorist.”

I agree. I’ll go you one further: if the officer hadn’t shot him, he would soon be killed anyway, consumed by this evil thug culture. One further: innocent lives may very well have been saved by cutting his violent criminal career short.

He wuz a good boy.Dindi Nuffin.

If a narrative collapse happens and the media fails to actually report it while big tech runs cover by preventing people from discovering it, did the tree make a sound?

Is it just me, or does a person wearing a mask against The Virus that is pulled down below their nose look like they have an intellectual disability?

Or they are the president of the US?

I haven’t read all the fine comments here. Probably been observed earlier. But why does one have to turn to a British newspaper for somewhat factual coverage of any US news involving negroes?

Mikkelson’s report said: ‘The $820 cash was tucked in the victim’s bra…

Oh, tonight’s going to be interesting. For so many years I’ve watched the lady’s bra removal routine and appreciated it. She chucks it into a laundry basket like it’s a sock. But never have dollars fallen out. Damn. But who cares?

This guy on Twitter said:

1. There were two warrants over over unpaid $350 in fines for minor stuff like marijuana

2. These were sent to collection

3. Cops pulled him over for this and noticed an illegal rear-view-mirror air freshener

4. Cops shot him dead when he resisted such a silly arrest.

Then the guy found a third warrant, still not important.

Then the guy (whose search chops don’t seem to be that reliable) finally found a fourth warrant, a “gross misdemeanor warrant,” the nature of which he doesn’t seem to want to explain, because “NONE OF THIS JUSTIFIES LETHAL FORCE.”

Give the guy credit for updating his tweets rather than just deleting the erroneous first tweet. I suppose by the time the retweets exceeded 8,000 it gets hard to delete and pretend you never made a fool of yourself.

The "warrant" on #DaunteWright was over unpaid fines for 2 minor misdemeanors — one a marijuana case — totaling $346. He pled guilty, filed for deferred payment and they were sent to collections DURING A PANDEMIC. Then he was pulled over for car air fresheners and killed over it. pic.twitter.com/M387CvQlz9

I sent a message to the fool of a governor of the state in which we now reside asking why they order curfews when they don’t enforce them. I also asked why this state coddles criminals at the expense of law abiding citizens. I really don’t expect a reply.

“If it weren’t for the overseas media–the Daily Mail and RT in particular–Americans would have very little idea of what’s going on in their own country.

But how many Americans read the Daily Mail or RT? Several thousand, probably.”

I’ve been reading the Daily Mail for a dozen years ever since I realized it would report the US news that the US media refused to cover. I just forwarded its article about CNN to several friends.

“How does that compare with the tens of millions who follow the MSM?

And how does it compare with the readership of alternative media such as takis, vdare, and unz.com?”

Point taken. But the Four Years Hate on the part of the left has alerted a lot of conservatives to the pickle we’re in. Probably a case of too little too late but at least I have people to commiserate with. A dozen years ago, my views were considered odd by otherwise sensible individuals.

That’s worth reporting. Daunte Wright wasn’t a saint. The cops still shouldn’t have executed him for fleeing arrest.

the system should stop being schitzo!

I think you are too old for this word.

Now do “anarchotyranny”.

The Mail Online is the apparently world’s fourth most popular online English language news site, coming in behind the BBC, CNN, and New York times, but ahead of Fox News.

It is estimated that 70% of its readership is in the United States. The paper version of the paper also sells about 2 million copies a day in Britain.

I have been reading the Daily Mail since 1964, but not continuously. The Daily Mail was founded in 1896.

So apparently the online readership in the US runs into the multimillions. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are apparently particularly devoted readers.

It was said by one wit of the Daily Mail, that a man who is tired of the Daily Mail must be tired of the life of Kim Kardashian.

Initial news reports made it seem he was killed for having an air freshener in the car. The facts come out later, not that it makes much difference to those bent on pursuing the narrative. He was a criminal who got into a physical confrontation with the police and ended up dead. Although the policewoman is being derided as incompetent it’s not the first time a gun was mistaken for a taser. In a sudden fight things move fast and become something of a blur. Adrenaline is dumped and people react automatically. If this pos hadn’t been involved in a life of crime he’d be alive. His criminal career just got cut short at the age of twenty rather than forty sparing many future victims of this budding predator. Just think of the lives spared being ravaged, destroyed or even murdered by this individual meeting his demise sooner rather than later.

The blogger previously posted a link to the details of Wright’s behavioral record. It contained no information about the violent robbery.

The fact remains that Wright’s car was stopped due to expired tags, i.e. the cops fulfilling their duties as tax collectors for the schools.

Another illegal police action.
Another victim of public education.

I was tweeting about this last night–the news about the aggravated assault wasn’t out, but the msm was reporting that there was an outstanding warrant:

He was a kid who had an outstanding warrant because he'd resisted arrest for a gun without a permit–and then fled the police. And here, again, he resisted arrest. Whic is also what led to George Floyd's death, as well as Rayshard Brooks.

Happy go lucky kids don't resist arrest. https://t.co/alXH7axs3U

I don’t know what story I found it in, but they were reporting it last night. The new part is the beating up a woman for her rent money.

What’s the world coming to when Daunte can’t choke a bitch, collect her rent money and still be loved?

Yeah I know liberals, it still doesn’t justify murder (that exact sentence has been written 70,000 times on Twitter in the last 30 seconds). Way to miss the point. And it wasn’t murder, not legally, not any way.

BTW, where is this woman? Also, where’s the pregnant woman George Floyd threatened with a gun? I’d love to hear from both of them. Long interviews, maybe by Oprah with everyone seated on a comfy patio.

His bail was revoked in July, and nine months later he’s still on the street? If he had been where he belonged; he’d still be alive.

He didn’t deserve to be (accidentally) shot dead; but he was certainly asking to get tased.

If an investigation shows that the officers were acting inappropriately prior to the guy getting shot, a case could be made that the officer should be charged with manslaughter; but this definitely wasn’t intentional murder.

On topic and relevant. Two weeks ago an off-duty Pentagon cop shot and killed two suspected car thieves who were likely up to no good, snooping around the parking lot of the officer’s apartment complex. There was a third suspect, but he was only wounded. He drove his two buddies to the hospital where they were DOI.

The two dead suspects were African American (names Dominique and Lionel). I can say without hesitancy that the cop was African American because 1) the police report does not discuss his race, 2) the police report does not report his name.

Notice this though, the cop’s reason for shooting dead the two suspected thieves was that “they fled after not obeying his commands when he confronted them for what he believed was an in-progress car break-in”.

I doubt that the cop will be charged. I doubt that he will be dismissed from the force. Most likely he will be allowed to retire with untaxed disability pension. Disability due to PTSD (gotta love white cops for one thing at least, they sure know how to write good union contracts).

What’s the lesson to be learned. Obey black cops when they tell you to do something, no matter how trivial the purported offense.

John Cleese said he’d “like to apologise” for “Monty Python” sketches that made “fun of white English people.”

“Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people,” the 81-year-old British actor and comedian known for his work on “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” tweeted Tuesday to his many followers.

“We’re sorry for any distress we may have caused,” he added.

Lol, at least the blacks now know they need whites in order to win these fights. Step aside Jamaal, we got this.

If you have an air freshener hanging from your rear-view mirror, police can pull you over for having obstructed vision.

I did not know that. Interesting.

Still, you have to think that, in 2021, any cop who pulls over a black guy to hassle him about his “air freshener” has to be clinically insane. Who wants to risk being the next Derek Chauvin just so they can bust some guy’s balls over an air freshener?

“Get the white people to the front!”

Nice white Substitute Saviors gotta have their chance to do some saving!

I saw this earlier over at the Daily Mail. I was going to post the link here as Off Topic but I am glad to see it has its own post, which it deserves to get.

Two guys using a gun and choking a girl to get her rent money when she let them stay overnight is cold. His family and lawyer painting him as Mr. Wonderful who just happens to be a dad too when they must have known about this will make me discount anything else they have to say. The parents’ insistence that the cop is a liar about using the gun by mistake rubbed me the wrong way before and now that we know they don’t tell the truth themselves I really don’t want to hear more from them but of course we will.

I wonder how the girl he attacked feels now? I assume the city will end up giving his estate a multimillion dollar settlement. Could she file a civil suit against his estate and get a payday too? That would be justice.

That’s worth reporting. Daunte Wright wasn’t a saint.

In fact, it looks like he was something of a young thug.

The cops still shouldn’t have executed him for fleeing arrest.

Good thing they didn’t do that.

Run along little troll.

The cop in question looks black, though he might be part Asian as well. He has been charged with second-degree murder. Also, this was not the first altercation he’d had on the premises of the condo complex.

Really, how *could* they stop?

Nobody is going to fix anything, the train is is MASSIVE motion.

It’s in such massive motion that an obviously unfit POTUS was fortifiably elected with the full opinion-construction might of the meedja and SCOTUS can’t even read the Constitution anymore.

Currently there seem to be systems of looting within looting, exploitation within exploitation, non-stop propaganda within non-stop propaganda, all held together with circus shows, partisan or otherwise. It’s really ultra bizarre.

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

The officer has been charged with two counts of murder today.

So if his bail was revoked, he should have been in jail.

If he had been, he would still be alive. I wonder if his parents helped him avoid getting taken in by the police? I assume the cops or the sheriff’s office people came looking for him a couple of times since last summer.

Completely irrelevant; just like with George Floyd, this is not about who the victim was, but about actions of police officers involved. Cops have no right to execute people on the street at will, even if they were criminals – end of story.

It was a justifiable shooting. Daunte Wright was a dangerous criminal who put the lives of Officer Potter, her partner, pedestrians, and other motorists at risk when he dived back into his vehicle while resisting arrest.

He didn’t deserve to be (accidentally) shot dead; but he was certainly asking to get tased.

He could have pulled a gun from his car and executed the officers who had pulled him over. Anyone who resists arrest like that raises all kinds of red flags about their willingness to engage in violence, and about what they may be hiding. It was a justifiable shoot.

1. They pulled him over because he had expired tags. He might or might not have had an air freshener in addition – it’s irrelevant.

2. The reason they do this is not to make the world safe from the scourge of air fresheners but because the police are not allowed to pull you over for no reason. They are, however, 100% allowed to pull you over for ANY violation of the law. Once they pull you over they run your name and your licence tags and they see if you have any outstanding warrants, any drugs in plain view, etc. and then they arrest you if you do. This is their job, to get POS’s like Danute off the street by any lawful means. If they can’t do this then the alternative is for them to eat donuts while the Dtanues of the world roam free and continue to rob people of their rent money.

3. Duante did not feel like going to jail so when the cops were trying to cuff him he jumped back in the car. If Daunte had just submitted to his lawful arrest he’s still be alive. Yes, his ass would be in jail where it belonged, but he’d be alive.

4. But you are right – they are going to do less of this and MN is going to be more like MO and MD.

Didn’t P J O’Rourke say some along the lines of “if oxygen was legal these people shouldn’t be allowed to breathe it”?

Back when he was funny and relevant.

That made me feel glad all over.

If Daunte had just submitted to his lawful arrest he’s still be alive. Yes, his ass would be in jail where it belonged, but he’d be alive.

Like this guy:

It is because the guy was a dirt bag that all the fuss is going on. Riots spreading no doubt nationwide.

The dirtbagness is a feature, not a bug. It is everyman blackness, and thus resonates with black people universally. Besides White women love a thug, and a black one even more.

Our society valorizes black thugs. Because they are needed — to get Whitey. America’s ruling class is looking to close us out. Like outmoded equipment. Well, lucky war with China and Russia are not looming.

I have several relatives in law enforcement. I know all about the whole “let’s pull that dude over because he has a ‘broken tail light’” gambit. My LEO relatives have been known to make jokes about it.

But in 2021, it’s beyond crazy to pull that kind of stunt just for shits and giggles — ESPECIALLY with black people. Every one of my LEO relatives has said as much. They are all terrified of becoming Derek Chauvin 2.0.

So my baseline assumption is that if these cops pulled over a black guy and started getting aggressive with him, they probably had a very good reason for doing so. On the other hand, they might just be thick-skulled thugs who don’t understand the New Dispensation…

Well, it doesn’t matter. Either way, we’re all doomed… 😉

What size bra?

Florisa? Where George Zimmerman got railroaded and where Mike Drejka got 20 years in prison, both for rather clear cases of self defense against our sacred blacks?

There’s no escaping the rot. I don’t even know where to escape to besides maybe Uruguay or Costa Rica. Maybe Russia or Belarus. I hate what white people have allowed the US to become

Mask in one’s profile photo, like pronouns in bio, means literally everything the person says is incorrect or dismissable

So two White women bring two young Blacks into their apartment at midnight?
The ladies(?) may not have wanted sex trouble, but, heh heh heh,,, it’s gonna happen.

Did you see his aunt on tv screaming,”Say his name”? She was going wild with grief. The white mother of the martyr was pushed aside,while the aunt raged.
No doubt this loving aunt has detected the aroma of cold,hard cash and she is determined that a goodly share of that is going to HER!
Theres gold in them thar hills! Say his name!!!

How do you think the cops catch people with outstanding warrants? It’s very often not by a dragnet for a specific person, but rather by random cops checking up on those caught committing the most minor infractions, which show they don’t understand the meaning of at least one law, and provide an excuse to stop them. Parking in disabled-only parking spaces ECT will get you ran through the computer. To make an important felony arrest a cop might have to stop and check up on people hundreds of times more or less at random. If you don’t want stopped at all, then behave the relevant rules and you’ll look like someone who obeys all rules.

The problem is that we told our police to trade billy-clubs for tazers. Billy-clubs could hardly be confused with a tazer, and there is something emotionally relaxing about using one on a resisting perp that makes it less likely for a cop to resort to using a gun. Of course, I must be thinking of the days when most cops were male and physically fit enough to swing one with effect. Silly me.

He was quoting a cop about drug users.

OK. Ranking depends on whether you include Google news and Yahoo news as they are just aggregators of news that may include stories from the Daily Mail and other news sources.

Anyway even from that source the Daily Mail has a bigger online readership than the Washington Post and claims 50 million unique users per month. Also more readers than the Huffington Post just for reference.

It was a justifiable shooting.

That’s certainly something they could have claimed if they hadn’t already released footage of the officer loudly proclaiming she was about to use her taser and then acting shocked when it turned out she had shot the suspect instead. If this guy had a warrant out for a violent felony I’m not sure why the department didn’t immediately proclaim this fact from the rooftops instead of showing everyone the body camera footage without comment.

How exactly does it work that police cannot kill someone disobeying them (once other means have failed)? How is that different from “the police no longer exist”? What policing is going to happen if people can just run away?

If the photo is indeed of a woman getting arrested for not having a mask on, it seems her lawyer should point out D’Barney Fife isn’t wearing his own face diaper correctly.

That is one of the more risable things about the mask tyrants: Half of them don’t wear the thing correctly to begin with. It’s pure virtue signaling by half wits.

Hey, they used the wrong photos of Mr. Wright! They were supposed to use the middle school pic that the MSM has been using. These pics make him look less angelic. Not fair!

“teasers”… Is this your Tiny Duck tell?

Excellent question. My guess is that the Post and Times and many other US news media have a notion about what is important that differs from yours or mine. Rather like Biden and Harris.

The air fresheners absorb the smell of burning pot. Ergo, in the mind of a black person, being pulled over means the police suspect you of driving stoned and being in possession. Driving stoned and being in possession are the ordinary state of affairs for black people (see George Floyd), therefore, police are targeting blacks just for being black. Racism.

> Can we talk to some of the Asian and Latino residents [of Brooklyn Park], see how they feel about black crime?

As spokesperson for the Air Freshener Media combine, let me answer Mr. Altai: No. Because that is Not A Question.

You’ll have to read some disreputable foreign organ, if you insist on satisfying those prurient urges.

How Do You Do It?

Daily Mail has a bigger online readership than the Washington Post and claims 50 million unique users per month. Also more readers than the Huffington Post just for reference

Which is doubtless why you can’t use a Daily Mail story as a reference for any content on Wikipedia. Any, not just BLP. And by the by, YouTube will not let you make a comment with the word riot in it. The Minnesota police chief was shouted down by reporters at a press conference the other day when he called the demonstrations “riots”. He has now resigned.

Statistically, what are the odds?

If the Police pull over a random Black Male age 16-60, for any ticketable/lawless activity, what are the odds he has outstanding Warrants or previous Convictions? 50/50? Higher?

Every potential Police interaction with a Negroid runs a a discretely mathematical value of escalation, and the Police obviously know this. They also know that the System has given up on smashing the Black criminal element, so I would think that most Police will rapidly quit, or move to de facto working for drug dealers.

> Duante did not feel like going to jail so when the cops were trying to cuff him he jumped back in the car.

Here is a 16-minute dashcam/bodycam record of a June 2020 traffic stop, released by the Tulsa PD.

The first 2 minutes is the setup — at 3 am, a car recklessly cuts in front of the cop and gets pulled over.

Then drop in for any 15 seconds between 6 minutes and 13 minutes. The driver won’t get out of his car. Still routine.

At 13′ 15″, the cops tase David for the first time. Repeats also don’t work, neither does pepper spray to the face.

The reality TV “commotion” scene continues through 15′ 15″. Cops are yelling and pulling, David moans and cries while somehow slithering out of their grasp and back into the driver’s seat.

We glimpse the pistol David grabbed from under the seat at 15′ 18″.

At 15′ 42″, David kills one cop and critically injures the other.

In the spirit of the Current Year, this video is posted online, but it is Not News. It’s particularly irrelevant to Duante Wright’s situation because everybody involved is (was) white.

The article doesn’t say how the court came to know about Daunte’s “failure to not possess a firearm or ammunition” while out on bail, but that was already 9 months ago.

He was stopped by police in June 2020 and found to be carrying a pistol. He managed to run away. The following month the warrant was issued for his arrest.

What steps, if any, did the court, the sheriff’s office, the police or the bail bondsman take during that time to apprehend him? (my guess is approximately nothing)

It’s a sad situation. People charged with attempted armed robbery should never be out on bail; but then when bail is revoked and a warrant is issued, there should be a serious effort to bring them in. It’s not as if it has been easy to hide during the Covid lockdown.

The result of this negligence is all too often that, in a routine traffic stop, the suspect knows that if he doesn’t flee he will be going to jail.

I agree. I’ll go you one further: if the officer hadn’t shot him, he would soon be killed anyway, consumed by this evil thug culture. One further: innocent lives may very well have been saved by cutting his violent criminal career short.

Ah yes – that’s why we have the Precrime Division arresting suspects before they actually committed the crime, as foreseen by precog mutants it employs… There was a good documentary made about that, it’s called “Minority Report”.

Daunte Wright was the best and brightest of his race.

Courteney Ross was one of Daunte Wright’s teachers. She claims to have been George Floyd’s girlfriend for three years until Floyd died.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9469603/George-Floyds-girlfriend-reveals-Daunte-Wrights-TEACHER.html

Here is a picture of the high school dean and her career criminal boyfriend.

Another non-story about the Gods of Diversity receiving their sacrifice.

The Gods declared, ‘A woman is needed on the force’ so they hired one. Image is everything, merit and competence are nothing.

“If the female officer hadn’t shot him, he might have pulled a gun from his vehicle and killed her and her partner, or sped off and killed a pedestrian or innocent motorist.”

But since resisting arrest is an established civil right, his family will get $27 million.

Stop the Bootlicking nonsense.

She fucked up, bad.

Yet another Affirmative Action nightmare.

If a narrative collapse happens and the media fails to actually report it while big tech runs cover by preventing people from discovering it, did the tree make a sound?

Narratives never collapse. Never.

Daunte will have been “killed for having air fresheners” from now to eternity.

BLM’s Latest Martyred Saint: Daunte Wright Had a Warrant Out for His Arrest for Attempted Aggravated Robbery Charges After ‘Choking and Holding a Woman at Gunpoint for $820 in 2019’

Give the “oops wrong gun” gal a commendation and fire her.

But then let’s not just “move on”.

Everyone–who isn’t already aware should read the account of robbery attempt. It is a window to completely alternate universe of low IQ dysfunction.

We shouldn’t have these nice lady street cops at all. But we can avoid this whole issue by just not having whites police blacks and vice versa. Let blacks live amongst blacks–unoppressed by “systemic racism”–and police themselves. Let whites do the same.

Sorry, why do we care about what “latino and asian” residents think of black crime?

How about we ask some white residents what they think about mass ethnic displacement, asian corruption, latino gangs and black crime?

Why will whites never take their own side? Why does it always have to be asians or hispanics??

Come off it, Polistra’s right. One article in the Daily Mail doesn’t mean shit. The only reality Americans know is what’s on Good Morning America or, in the case of better educated* Americans, The NY Times. Otherwise it didn’t happen.

I don’t mean to be rude, but give up false hopes.

*better educated meaning they got a credential from a university, not truly educated.

There’s a thing called the Internet.

I’m sorry the lady cop is not exactly Einstein if she can’t tell the Glock on her right hip from the Taser on her left. Yes it all happened very fast (Daunte, like many young black males, was as fast as a cat) but she is supposed to be a trained and experienced police officer and even in a stressful situation (ANY situation where you have to draw a weapon, even the non-lethal Taser, is by definition stressful) you should be able to not panic and draw the weapon that you intend to draw.

I disagree and I think you’ve taken the coward’s way out.

No matter how far you run, they will find you eventually. I care a lot. This is wrong and they must be faced and beaten eventually.

This is the White Woman that Whiskey goes on about, the kind who will show up at school board meetings, has a “Hate has no home here!” sign in the front yard or on the front of her apartment, obviously votes a party line, etc. This is the face and voice of a particularly “concerned woman”, who can be found at all sorts of rallies, marches, etce.

For sure she also has a pink kitty hat in some drawer, and an ex-husband who doesn’t miss her.

Unless she actually saw a gun she was not legally justified in shooting him. The law is that you can’t shoot unarmed people (even felons) just because they are fleeing.

She knew this and did not intend to shoot him but she confused her gun for her Taser which apparently happens fairly often – there have been maybe a dozen such incidents in the last couple of decades. You would think that this is hard to do since the Taser is usually carried on the opposite hip from the service weapon and doesn’t look or feel anything like a pistol but it happens that cops panic and draw the wrong weapon.

Keep in mind that these are not long, drawn out deliberations – the whole thing is over in a flash. From the time that Daunte squirms out of the cop’s grasp and jumps back into the car to the time that she draws the wrong weapon is maybe 5 seconds. She then says “I’ll tase ya’. Taser taser taser!” (Another 10 seconds have gone by – perhaps long enough to see that the thing that you have in your hand is black and not yellow but her eyes are surely on Daunte and looking to see if he is going for a weapon – if she had seen one would she have dropped her gun and gone for her Taser since she was already mixed up?) And then she shoots him with her Glock. Ooops. Oh shit.

Yes it all happened very fast (Daunte, like many young black males, was as fast as a cat) but she is supposed to be a trained and experienced police officer and even in a stressful situation.

There was ample justification, not just for the taser, but for using the gun. He was a dangerous criminal with a propensity for gun crimes, including aggravated armed robbery. He was resisting arrest, fighting with 2 armed cops, and trying to get back into his car, where he might have had another weapon. Completely justified use of deadly force.

I wonder at what point in the traffic stop the “outstanding bench warrant for attempted armed robbery” would pop up on the computer / communications console in the cop car?

What steps, if any, did the court, the sheriff’s office, the police or the bail bondsman take during that time to apprehend him? (my guess is approximately nothing)

The system was already rather weak but then once Covid and the Summer of Floyd began, this really tipped the scales and prosecutors declared that it was a Jubilee Year for criminals. (BTW, it wasn’t just Floyd or just Covid – it was both.) They did everything but open the gates to all of the prisons (that part comes later in the Revolution). So there are now thousands of guys like Daunte that are out on the streets rather than in jail awaiting trial and crime is up 30, 40, 50%.

In the past when the pendulum swung a little too far to the Left, it was the nature of our system to self correct – at the next election the prosecutors who were a little too soft on crime got booted out on their asses and “law and order” type prosecutors elected. But our society may be too far gone for that – there are places now where the majority of the electorate may LIKE the new system from now on. Yes it means that you may get carjacked more often but OTOH your keeds who are doing the carjacking won’t have to go to jail. And for a certain number of whites, the cure for all those crime statistics that show that blacks are responsible for a disproportionate share of crime is to stop arresting black people.

The fact that these kind of policies are proven NOT to work makes absolutely no difference to some people. Apparently the voters of Peru are about to elect a guy who has promised to make Peru more like Cuba and Venezuela. You would think that anyone in their right mind would not want their country to be more like Cuba and Venezuela, both of which are economic basket cases (not to mention lacking in freedom) but you would be wrong. “The last shall be first” sounds like a really good idea if you are in the current group of losers.

I guess we’re supposed to think that their insanity gets better as they age.

The new ghetto lottery is far more lucrative than the old. This shitbag’s family is about to get extravagantly PAID. The lucky families are rid of a troublesome family member and several tens of millions of dollars richer. If they are truly lucky their criminal relative gang rapes a jogger and brains her with a rock before leaving her to die, and survives for a big payoff years later, but these days the municipalities can’t shovel the money at them fast enough.

Nice ‘work’ if you can get it.

Well, forget it. This year’s Hugo Award nominations are out, and only PoCs, women (preferably lesbians) and queer and trans/nonbinary persons can be nominated.

Releasing a clip was a mistake. Duante knew when he was pulled over that there was a warrant for his arrest out there in the ether of the jurosphere. Did the police ask him if there was a warrant “out there”? The police didn’t seem to know until they “ran” his “I.D.”, the officerette appears to have his license in her left taser hand when she approaches as Duante is in the early stages of the cuffization process. Was the suspect vehicle idling during this time? What did the search of the car reveal? Was Ms. X in the passenger seat searched?

“What size bra?”

To hide all that money in a bra it must have been at least a double D size. I think that “Women hiding money in bra’s ” is more common than one might think. One benefit is that instantaneously she becomes more noticeable to men and doesn’t need to spend thousands on breast augmentation.

where will I hang all those useless face masks?

She knew this and did not intend to shoot him but she confused her gun for her Taser which apparently happens fairly often – there have been maybe a dozen such incidents in the last couple of decades. You would think that this is hard to do since the Taser is usually carried on the opposite hip from the service weapon and doesn’t look or feel anything like a pistol but it happens that cops panic and draw the wrong weapon.

People would be surprised to know how little continuing training cops are given.

My guess is that she’s practiced draws of the firearm from her holster enough to create some muscle memory (draws are important to practice to avoid NDs during the process and, of course, shooting yourself or friendlies).

Under stress, she probably reverted to the default “draw from hip” muscle memory even though her brain was thinking “taser taser taser.”

And, of course, Mr. Wright induced a large amount of escalating stress into an already stressful situation by resisting arrest and attempting escape by car (which was of course dangerous in that the officers were on foot surrounding the vehicle). The police, by virtue of arresting him on routine traffic stop, certainly knew that he was wanted on an open warrant for a serious or violent felony.

Was it not fewer than 36 months ago that nearly every thread in which Whiskey participated was met with Lafferesque “Oh, that BBC-fixated Whiskey’s at it again, the loon” twitting?

Haven’t seen it lately. I want to know when you’re going to take a victory lap, or, if it’s happened, where it is.

Also want to know where the heartfelt apologies are published.

OT Shooting: In Detroit, Hakim Littleton was shot and killed by police some months ago as he pulled a gun and fired it point blank (from two feet away) at officers during an arrest. Littleton missed, and was immediately shot dead by other officers. The police were investigating a July 5 mass shooting in which three people were killed and five others wounded.

Detroit’s black police chief released police body cam video the same day to combat social media misinformation that was causing a riot. After hundreds of hours of investigation, officers were cleared of wrongdoing.

However, Littleton’s family and Detroit Will Breathe want compensation.

“Hakim was, like, my son. I cry every day. We don’t even know the officer’s name that executed my nephew. My nephew was going places.”

Detroit Will Breathe was asked about the incident and their spokesman responded that “since Hakim missed the officer, he should have lived.”

Paging Rosie & Alden…

Just kidding ladies!

Unless she actually saw a gun she was not legally justified in shooting him.

No, that isn’t what the law says. The law says that she can use deadly force if it was reasonable to perceive that he posed a threat to her or others of serious injury.

This violent criminal, who had warrants out for illegal possession of a gun and for violent armed robbery, had lunged back into his car after resisting his attempted arrest by at least three armed officers of the peace. Anyone that reckless, and with that criminal history, could have pulled out a gun from underneath the seat and shot the officers. Or he could have used his vehicle as a deadly weapon to injure the police or innocent passersbys, either deliberately or recklessly.

The law is that you can’t shoot unarmed people (even felons) just because they are fleeing.

Nice strawman. He wasn’t merely fleeing. In fact, at that instant there was no way to know just what this violent criminal was going to do after fighting the cops. He could have pulled a gun from the car. Or he could have sped off and seriously injured or killed someone. Under the circumstances, the police were justified in using deadly force in self defense and in defense of others.

She knew this and did not intend to shoot him but she confused her gun for her Taser which apparently happens fairly often

If anything, she was incompetent in choosing a taser over a gun. What if the criminal had pulled a gun from under his seat like in that Tulsa case? By the time you see it, it’s too late.

Keep in mind that these are not long, drawn out deliberations – the whole thing is over in a flash. From the time that Daunte squirms out of the cop’s grasp and jumps back into the car to the time that she draws the wrong weapon is maybe 5 seconds.

You are making my points for me.

the leftist rioting is preferable to peaceful protests because it scares Americans causing centrists to reject and the leftists dogma and BLM agenda. If the protests were actually peaceful then the BLM movement would be stronger than it is today with more support from moderate whites.

But why does one have to turn to a British newspaper for somewhat factual coverage of any US news involving negroes?

Because the Limeys have actual journalists, at least for now. We don’t have those anymore in the U.S.

He could have pulled a gun from his car and executed the officers who had pulled him over. Anyone who resists arrest like that raises all kinds of red flags about their willingness to engage in violence, and about what they may be hiding. It was a justifiable shoot.

I think what we’re not understanding is that blacks resist arrest and run because it has a high probability of success. They’ve probably done it multiple times in the past and gotten away with it due to lazy/fat/clock-punching cops. You just keep trying to get away and for the most part it works right until it doesn’t work.

So, yes in this case Wright had a warrant for a violent felony and knew the stakes were high if he was cuffed and booked, but others may resist arrest and run for much less serious crimes simply because it can work out for them.

Your post was hilarious. Probably unwittingly but thanks sport.

I can’t understand why any white person would want to be a cop today. Unless you work in rural Nebraska.

A new spin on the term “useful idiots”.

In the past when the pendulum swung a little too far to the Left, it was the nature of our system to self correct – at the next election the prosecutors who were a little too soft on crime got booted out on their asses and “law and order” type prosecutors elected. But our society may be too far gone for that – there are places now where the majority of the electorate may LIKE the new system from now on. Yes it means that you may get carjacked more often but OTOH your keeds who are doing the carjacking won’t have to go to jail. And for a certain number of whites, the cure for all those crime statistics that show that blacks are responsible for a disproportionate share of crime is to stop arresting black people.

The “last time” whites abandoned inner cities, built Tudor castle modeled homes in circuitous, car-only neighborhoods without sidewalks, funded “good schools” with exorbitant property taxes that excluded would-be low income neighbors, and elected celebrity “law and order” prosecutors to stop black shenanigans at the County Line. For trying to avoid getting robbed or their daughters gang raped and murdered they were slandered as White Supremacists.

I don’t know that this is repeatable.

Is this the same John Cleese who recently contributed to the “money supply” of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the form of a sketch of the Brooklyn Bridge?

The dude has a finely honed sense of humor.

One of the reasons the State Media chooses to cover this sort of thing is because they think it will convert people by engendering pity and outrage.

The female cop made a fatal error and should have to suffer the consequences. But the “victim” was a career criminal, known to be armed, who resisted arrest and as a result suffered an unsurprising consequence.

If the State Media wants me to pity the victim, he needs to be somewhat sympathetic. It’s almost as if there aren’t any of those.

Daunte? Hm…..no, definitely not this guy:

Am I mistaken or has no one mentioned the very similar case of a cop mistaking his Gun for his Taser in the Oakland Emeryville BART shooting of a few years ago? In that case a young cop was told to subdue a a group of obstreperous black youth and pulled out what he thought was his Taser but was his service revolver. He shot the handcuffed black guy under bright lights in front of many witnesses some of which were filming the action.

He like this female cop immediately screamed something like “Oh my God”. So apparently in the heat of a contested arrest cops can mistake a Taser for a gun. Accidents like this one are the price we pay for having cops carry two different weapons. If there was no Taser on her belt presumably the mistake would not have occurred.

We should all be consoled that while it is unfortunate that a citizen was accidently killed, apparently God has arranged that all these black shooting victims by cops have turned out to be vile scum well deserving of death. Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and now this felon. Restores my faith in divine guidance.

“She knew this and did not intend to shoot him but she confused her gun for her Taser.”

This is speculation; we don’t know this for a fact. We haven’t heard the officer speak yet. Could be she said, “Taser, taser,” and then changed her mind in that split second when she saw him reach for something in his car.

So many fairytales: the young man got pulled over because he displayed an air freshener in his back window, he didn’t know there were warrants out for his arrest (I’m sure he knew that when they were attempting to handcuff him), Black don’t continually attempt to flee, Saint Floyd couldn’t have died from a drug overdose, and on and on.

Let’s hear what happened first.

Too bad we can no longer shoot fleeing felons. It would simplify this.

Watch the video – they weren’t being aggressive or thuggish with him at all, until he jumped back in the car and tried to drive away.

I know it’s an old fashioned notion but they were just trying to do their jobs. You’re right though that it’s becoming increasingly clear to the cops that actually doing their jobs is a really bad idea – might get you in big trouble if you make a mistake and cops are just human and sometimes make mistakes. You could lose your job, have your house burned down, be sent to prison. Eating donuts carries no such risk.

So right now the cops have every incentive to keep their interactions with blacks to a minimum and their donut eating to a maximum. Of course crime will go up as a result, but that’s not their problem – they are just responding to the incentives and disincentives that society imposes on them. They are just working zhlubs that want to go home tonight and tomorrow night and they will do whatever gives them the best chance of doing so. If they have to choose between the good of their family and the good of society, they’re going to pick their family every time.

I’ve noticed in my area that since Covid and the Summer of Floyd there are now tons of cars driving around with lights out – one headlight, one tail light, etc. Apparently the local cops have gotten the message.

Unless she actually saw a gun she was not legally justified in shooting him. The law is that you can’t shoot unarmed people (even felons) just because they are fleeing.

Keep in mind that these are not long, drawn out deliberations – the whole thing is over in a flash.

Damn, what a nugget. Beautiful satire.

Awesome take.

Really, how *could* they stop?

Oh, they won’t.

At the rate they’re going we’ll be in a three-front war with Russia, China, and Iran by the end of the year.

Hyperinflation and currency collapse will follow soon thereafter.

LOL!, and how did you get to be #999?

The mayor of a major city wearing a kevlar helmet. WTF. Maybe if he had the stones to gas and hose down this trash when they first ran amok, he wouldn’t have to wear body armor walking around town. What worthless P.O.S. Bring on the cleansing fires.

The White woman hating MEN OF UNZ will be happy to know that White woman Officer Potter was charged with 2 nd degree manslaughter with a penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

The White women hating MEN OF UNZ will also be happy to know that White man officer Shetsky who killed Jacob Blake of Kenosha WI *has been exonerated and is back at work.

Kenosha, another wonderful White town destroyed by blacks.

Saintly Black Man, as innocent as the Lamb of God and just as worthy of worship, is mercilessly gunned down by white Hitler cops, who are only the tip of the white supremacist systemic racist institutions that must all be destroyed.

The notion is starting to form in my mind that, as far gone as some Americans now are, as evidenced by this brilliantly satirical nugget, only defeat in a major war or even foreign invasion will serve to dislodge our current nutcase elites. I can see a time coming where, for Core Americans, defeat of America in a major war may be the least-worst option.

You go to a party…stay there all night…then rob the host at gun point? My guess is this party was given by white girls who didn’t have the gumption to tell the black guys to get lost. They wouldn’t sleep with them, though, so they got robbed as punishment.

How far into a hypothetical future can the average young black guy put himself? I’m thinking it’s somewhere around 90 minutes.

If Wright had killed the White woman Officer, the White MEN OF UNZ would have rejoiced the same way they rejoiced when 3 black 8th grade boys murdered White woman Tessa Majors.

It’s Minnesota. Wright’s black. That’s why.

Now she’s been arrested, probably will be charged with manslaughter.

https://nypost.com/2021/04/14/officer-kimberly-potter-charged-in-daunte-wright-shooting/

It’s been announced that Officer Potter has been charged with second-degree manslaughter by the Dakota County Attorney’s office.

If the female officer hadn’t shot him, he might have pulled a gun from his vehicle and killed her and her partner, or sped off and killed a pedestrian or innocent motorist.

Precisely. Gunfights don’t happen that often on the beat, and the frequency is directly proportional to the diligence and raw physical courage of the cops in question. Why court trouble and stop a black motorist? Stop a non-black one and stay out of trouble.

For cops who take their oaths seriously, and seek to protect rather than just record homicide stats, gunfights can break out and end very quickly. In this encounter, 54 rounds were fired in 56 seconds, with the perp firing 21 of them.

the cops fulfilling their duties as tax collectors

If cops can’t pull over for expired registration, why would anyone renew it?

Daunte was just another black scumbag who was on a crime trajectory that likely would have resulted in his killing or maiming innocent people. The white female police officer did Minnesota a favor by mistaking her service weapon for a taser.

More tales from the Probation Department. Back in the day when welfare checks were checks and food stamps were little ticket things, here’s what happened to a victim of one of my guys.

No woman in San Francisco was safe from purse snatchers in those days after all the legal aid grant grifters got their money from the Carter Reagan Bush 1 administrations. Old women took to buying make up bags and sewing them to the coat lining so they needn’t carry a visible purse.

So here’s this black woman lived in the unspeakable Sunnyvale projects. Welfare check arrived. So she walked down the hill to cash the check and get the food stamps.

In the way home she hears running footsteps behind her. Sure nuff, some POS thug grabs her purse and runs off up the hill.

She continued all smug because her keys are in a pocket; cash in one bra cup food stamps in the other bra cup.

Couple minutes later, he comes running back down the hill grabs her head and digs the cash and food stamps out of her bra.

At least he didn’t hurt her and she still had her keys.

But how many Americans read the Daily Mail or RT? Several thousand, probably.

I think it must in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. Of course that still doesn’t stack up against the millions of NPCs.

And how does it compare with the readership of alternative media such as takis, vdare, and unz.com?

No idea! I’m not sure anyone really knows. Newspaper circulation, TV audience, eyeballs on websites etc. But how do we really know how many genuine individuals actually watched a news item or read an article? Then we’ve got the deliberate lies and distortions on top. YouTube appears to mess around with views/likes/dislikes/recommendations, distortions piled upon distortions. Do YT even know themselves anymore what is actually ‘popular’?

Kim Potter, a 26 year veteran police Officer in a black infested town with a liberal Mayor was not a liberal you POS.

Judging by the impotent woman hating perverts on UNZ, I estimate 95% of conservative White men are mentally ill. Who else is obsessed with other people’s tattoos hair dye and sex lives?

I think it must in the tens if not hundreds of thousands.

Not even close. Daily Mail has 53 million unique visitors per month and 70% are in the US. This puts it ahead of the Washington Post.

Saint Daunte was driving a stolen car that was hijacked.

The condescending judgement people have for the reactions of cops who are engaged with violent law offenders who are resisting arrest is simply astounding to me.

News flash, people: These gentlemen are often armed and don’t wanna be taken into custody. They’re big and strong and violent and they mean you harm. A split second hesitation can cost the arresting officer his or her life.

And commenters respond with: The militant officer should done this, should have done that.

Are you freaking kidding? Have you ever been in a physical confrontation in your life? Maybe you would you care to step in and perform this work, show us how it should be done? What’s your answer? Just stop arresting people and let these thugs rule the streets?

Cops aren’t perfect. Cops are not the problem.

To be fair, it was report in the US Sun.

Sorry Jack. If it doesn’t make the NY Times it didn’t happen. The DM could get 6 billion unique visitors a month.

Note the names.

In the late Mr. Wright’s case, the cops were right to pull him over.

“For so many years I’ve watched the lady’s bra removal routine and appreciated it… But never have dollars fallen out”

Agreed – but what does fall out is always worth looking at, not tired of the routine yet, or its morning opposite.

Your first sentence is SOOOOOO true. Americans don’t have a news media, they have leftist propaganda outlets

I’ve read that Baltimore’s crime rates have dropped. How do you account for this anomaly? IMO, even shitholes have their limits, and Baltimore reached its limit. OR – they just stopped arresting people. I don’t know.

But I’m interested in what you say.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/03/26/baltimore-reducing-prosecutions/

Great post. I keep hoping that people will come to their senses and utterly reject the democratic party politicians because literally ALL OF THEM are in sync with each other and NONE OF THEM, ever protest the insanity going on in their own party. Support the left and you are shooting yourself in the foot, setting up the country for disaster including your own friends and family.

Hey, they used the wrong photos of Mr. Wright! They were supposed to use the middle school pic that the MSM has been using. These pics make him look less angelic. Not fair!

I haven’t seen the obligatory “cap & gown” picture of him yet. Did they put one out ?

Almost makes me want to live to the age of 81.

Something I’m somewhat diffident about, generally.

This year’s Hugo Award…

…proves once again the Sad Puppies had reason to be sad. Because the Rabid Puppies were right.

Would the DM offer Tucker Carlson a column if he gets booted from Fox News, as the ADL is trying to make happen? If they’ve even half as many viewers/readers as Jack’s source implies, it could be useful. And frankly, the DM could use a sane, rational voice like Tucker’s.

Poor John Cleese. He happened to do his thing during the historically unique period when it looked like people were going to be treated equally and made fun of equally. And he bought it.

•Troll

But you’re black yourself. Defending a black man who massacred 6 Whites including 2 children in what you call “ a very complicated incident “

What’s a black doing on a White conservative sure anyway?

•Troll

Saint Daunte was driving a stolen car that was hijacked.

Evidence required.

Only boys stomp on bugs. It’s the White woman hating MEN of UNZ who only yesterday wanted to lynch a White woman for getting rid of some trash I despise.

You hate White women. I’m a White woman so I hate you right back. Too bad Daunte didn’t escape and go on to kill a White women hating White MAN OF UNZ

Then the MEN OF UNZ would blame Kim Potter for not killing Daunte

Wait … WHAT?

The law says that she can use deadly force if it was reasonable to perceive that he posed a threat to her or others of serious injury.

You are right about this part at some level. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule )

But it would not apply to any of this, i believe.

This violent criminal, who had warrants out for illegal possession of a gun and for violent armed robbery, had lunged back into his car after resisting his attempted arrest by at least three armed officers of the peace. Anyone that reckless, and with that criminal history, could have pulled out a gun from underneath the seat and shot the officers. Or he could have used his vehicle as a deadly weapon to injure the police or innocent passersbys, either deliberately or recklessly.

The police had no evidence that he had hurt anyone or was about to hurt anyone.
A car CAN be a deadly weapon, but most often it isn’t. (and cops have been abusing that trope too long, imo to justify some iffy shootings). IF he had already run someone over and then he was trying to get away then they could plausibly make the claim but what you write can be said of anyone running away.
Anyone could be running to somewhere to pull out a hidden gun.
Anyone who gets away could get into a car and then run people down (or release anthrax into the the water supply or build a nuclear bomb)

It is not reasonable to assume that they will do so. Do you have have any recent cases in mind that support the view that it would be legal and within regulations for police to use deadly force in this situation ?

Ghetto lottery is probably tax free because it’s an insurance settlement. I believe. Get rid of the sperm donor who’s always aggressively demanding part of the welfare check and molesting the girls by your other baby daddies. Win win.

It was a justifiable shooting.

That’s certainly something they could have claimed if they hadn’t already released footage of the officer loudly proclaiming she was about to use her taser and then acting shocked when it turned out she had shot the suspect instead. If this guy had a warrant out for a violent felony I’m not sure why the department didn’t immediately proclaim this fact from the rooftops instead of showing everyone the body camera footage without comment.

What institutions in America have the intelligence and, if they have the intelligence, the courage, to tell the truth in this day and age?

You’re welcome! Yes, there are few things more hilarious than a fumbling cop, that long-standing staple of comedy from Inspector Clouseau to Police Academy and everything in between. And even if their stupidity ends up killing you, hey – at least you can die laughing.

He was stopped by police in June 2020 and found to be carrying a pistol. He managed to run away. The following month the warrant was issued for his arrest.

Not only did he have a pistol. He had it under the seat of a car.

Do you have have any recent cases in mind that support the view that it would be legal and within regulations for police to use deadly force in this situation ?

Here ya go:

I haven’t seen the obligatory “cap & gown” picture of him yet. Did they put one out ?

Unless there was a graduation ceremony for his middle school or elementary school or kindergarten, there’s no such picture.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/04/12/daunte-wright-police-shooting-near-minneapolis-protest-what-to-know/7185768002/

“Daunte Wright had a 2-year-old, his father told the newspaper. He said Daunte dropped out of high school because of a learning disability but worked various retail and restaurant jobs to support his son.”

Was the woman in the car his baby-mama? Probably not, or they would have said.

There’s no need for speculation on this point really, the bodycam video already speaks to this pretty clearly.

She drew the pistol between the two warnings of “i’ll tase you” and she is already on target with the gun when calling out “Taser! Taser! Taser!”

In that same video she is clearly shocked at having shot him.

Some shootings are more equal than others. Our ruling elites really, really want you to understand just who is in charge.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/14/officer-who-killed-capitol-rioter-ashli-babbitt-wont-be-charged-doj-says.html

I’m hoping this gets her off in the manslaughter trial. She’s just been charged.

Having Carlson as a columnist would also bring a lot of eyeballs to the Daily Mail’s site.

Executed him? Oh please.

I get cops aren’t everyone’s favorite but can we acknowledge that mistakes happen? Costly, avoidable mistakes, but this asshole wasn’t executed.

Seriously bad shit happens to good people. This isn’t one of those cases.

Seeing how you impute impotence, involuntary celibacy, homosexuality or some combination thereof to every man you see as a charter member of the He-Man Woman-Haters Club, calling out conservative white men as “obsessed with other people’s…sex lives” isn’t your best rhetorical move.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, y’all need to read Plumhoff v. Rickard:

The Court also held that the evidence showed that Rickard was still attempting to flee when the officers opened fire and that the officers reasonably could have believed that if the chase resumed Rickard would once again pose a deadly threat to others on the road. Furthermore, the total number of shots fired also did not qualify as excessive force. Therefore, if officers are justified in opening fire to end a threat to public safety, they are similarly justified in continuing to fire until the threat to public safety has ended.

https://www.oyez.org/cases/2013/12-1117

This shooting was totally justified, according to the Supreme Court.

Daunte Wright had a 2-year-old, his father told the newspaper. He said Daunte dropped out of high school because of a learning disability but worked various retail and restaurant jobs to support his son.”

I guess that he found the handgun to be more effective.

I wonder if some judges might be allowing thugs to stay out of jail, thinking that they may end up suffering from lead poisoning while on the outside. With the cost of housing criminals in jails also a factor obviously. Maybe with the increasing numbers of black killings, it must be safer for the crim to ask the judge if he can be sent to jail instead.

Barricades have gone up around the home of former officer Kimberly Potter and police are seen apparently on guard.

As bad as the outcome of the Tulsa case is (and it’s awful), the cops didn’t shoot the guy for refusing to get out of the car, and, like with Daunte, afaik American police use of force doctrine and the courts would not have supported their doing so before he threatened them with a gun.

(To clarify when i was asking about “a case” i meant a court case that said cops COULD have shot in these episodes absent an imminent threat. )

It’s against the law to drive with a knick-knack dangling in front of your face? That is Fascist-Nazi. What’s next, a ban on texting? Tinted windows? Mandatory installation of seat belts by car manufacturers?

I’m hoping this gets her off in the manslaughter trial. She’s just been charged.

Why do you hope this video, showing a textbook case of manslaughter*, would get her off manslaughter charges? Personally I would prefer her convicted for murder but given she’s a cop that would be unlikely so I’ll take what I can get…

* from https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/manslaughter :

The unjustifiable, inexcusable, and intentional killing of a human being without deliberation, premeditation, and malice. The unlawful killing of a human being without any deliberation, which may be involuntary, in the commission of a lawful act without due caution and circumspection.

… the last part being the key here: “in the commission of a lawful act without due caution and circumspection.” Yes, she was performing her duty, but mistaking gun for taser shows clear lack of caution and circumspection.

…
The women asked them to leave around 2.30 am …but they said they didn’t have a ride and the women…allowed them to sleep on the floor.

“Give me the f**king money

Is it racist to more than a little amused while reading this?

Would the officers have been justified in shooting the physically non-compliant suspect when he lunged back into his car? How about when a non-compliant suspect reaches into his car?

I do not have a specific case to provide to you. If I learn of one, I will.

Yes, she was performing her duty, but mistaking gun for taser shows clear lack of caution and circumspection.

There was ample justification, not just for the taser, but for using the gun. He was a dangerous criminal with a propensity for gun crimes, including aggravated armed robbery. He was resisting arrest, fighting with 2 armed cops, and trying to get back into his car, where he might have had another weapon. Completely justified use of deadly force.

Thanks for providing that. I hadn’t seen it previously. Yes, it does look like she made a mistake. Chaos of the moment, I guess. Two people lost their lives in that split second.

Ben & Jerry’s issues statement that Officer Potter murdered the suspect, that her act was rooted in white supremacy, and that the police should be defunded:

The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities.

This system can’t be reformed.

It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up.

You pompous pretentious codgers may think you’re some kind of intellectual observers. You’re not.

Yeah—the killing by of an unarmed young woman, Ashli Babbitt, by a still unidentified cop.

Thanks, haven’t seen that yet.
Reading about this, the facts of Plumhoff_v._Rickard appear relevantly different though in that the suspect had demonstrated a significant amount of dangerous behavior, including aggressive driving around dismounted cops, and hitting other cars before anyone started shooting at him.

During the traffic stop, the lieutenant noticed an indentation in the car’s windshield that, according to him, was “‘roughly the size of a head or basketball’”. He then saw beer in the car and asked whether Rickard had been drinking, which Rickard denied. Rickard appeared nervous and failed to produce a driver’s license when asked; the lieutenant asked him to step out of the car, but Rickard sped away.[6]

The lieutenant, later joined by other officers, pursued Rickard in a high-speed car chase down Interstate 40 that reached speeds beyond 100 miles (160 km) per hour.[6] The chase lasted approximately five minutes. According to a video of the car chase, Rickard nearly struck 29 other drivers, struck two different patrol cars, and nearly struck another patrol car. Rickard drove east, crossing the Mississippi River into Tennessee. The officers attempted unsuccessfully to use a “rolling roadblock” to stop Rickard.[7] After exiting Interstate 40, Rickard collided with the cruiser of one of the officers and spun out into a parking lot in Memphis, Tennessee.[8]

Rickard temporarily stopped next to a building, and officers approached his car on foot. Rickard then began to back up, and an officer pounded against his passenger-side window with his firearm.[7] Rickard subsequently collided with another police cruiser, and even though Rickard’s bumper was flush against the cruiser, he continued to use his accelerator. At this point, Sergeant Vance Plumhoff fired three shots into Rickard’s car.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumhoff_v._Rickard#Facts_of_the_case

the distinction i’m drawing seems well in line with the

“may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the officer or others.”

currently controlling use of force against people running away from cops (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule)

Although, i’ll add that (as i’ve mentioned previously) i don’t generally agree that shooting at the suspects is justified in the ” Plumhoff_v._Rickard ” type case unless the person very clearly is trying to run people down (like in the terrorist attacks ). Just knocking into police cars while trying to get away doesn’t cut it.

Negroes used to have air fresheners shaped like crowns that they stuck on top of their dash, or in back, so it showed in the rear window. Classy with a capital “K” especially when combined with the peel off sticker monogram on the driver’s door and the license plate holder shaped like slave chain links.

I’m all for c olored boys having air freshener nearby. The Floyd trial isn’t funny, but I laughed the other day when it was clarified that, on the death video for Saint Fentanyl, one of the other cops, in the video, exclaimed “Oh My God!” during their restraint of Floyd. Turns out the cop said that because Floyd stunk so bad.

LOL.

epe, in Berkeley’s reimagined policing, cops will not be allowed to make stops for expired registration, missing plates or equipment failures such as non working lights. So you’re good in the city limits but not when a highway patrol cop pulls you over.

paperback, well rebuilding looted stores seems to have a future.
