It’s very important to the manipulators of The Narrative to use the appropriate words for events. For example, are the events unfolding in many cities across America at present “protests” or “riots”? That’s because American discourse has progressively dumbed down toward a childish emphasis on deciding ahead of time who are the Good Guys and who are the Bad Guys. If the rioters are the Good Guys, they can’t be engaged in a “riot.” They just can’t. So they have to be carrying out a “protest.”
If I do a text search on the homepage of NYTimes.com for “protest,” I get nine hits. But when I do a test search for “riot” I get zero. Also zilch for “loot.”
At WashingtonPost.com, I see 10 text strings that include “protest,” zip that include “riot.” I do see “loot” once:
Trump says looting tweet is ‘very accurate’
At WSJ.com, eight “protest,” but zero “riot” or “loot.”
At LATimes.com, six “protest,” no “riot,” and one “loot,” in the headline of this editorial by the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board:
Editorial: Stop focusing on looting in Minneapolis. Be outraged that police keep killing black men
A protester stands, fist raised, in front of a burning fast food restaurant in Minneapolis.

MAY 29, 20201:22 PMThere is anger on the streets in Minneapolis. And Los Angeles. And Columbus and Phoenix and Denver. It is deserved anger fed by the death of George Floyd, yet another unarmed black man killed as police arrested him.
Another. That’s the key word.
The mature and reasoned response is, of course, to explore what went wrong Monday on that Minneapolis street. Why did the police officers responsible for this unnecessary use of force still have badges, given their history of previous complaints? Why did it take so long for authorities to arrest the officer filmed pinning Floyd to the ground with a knee on his neck? What can Minneapolis — or Los Angeles, or Ferguson, or New York City — do to improve relations between police and the communities they serve? Cue up the commission, bring in the experts, hold some hearings, let people vent for a bit and then, by golly, we’ll have change.
That’s the lie we tell ourselves with depressing regularity. The solutions we keep trotting out fail to address the real fault lines here. Police now often carry body cameras, undergo implicit bias training and embrace community policing strategies aimed at bridging the divide. We keep looking for the technology or training that can be bought and implemented to end police brutality, and there have been some improvements, particularly in cities where police departments have restricted use of force in making arrests. But progress is not victory.
And this is not a technology problem, or something that can be ended with some policy tinkering. It is a function of deep structural racism that we as a nation have proved to be incapable of exorcising.
Los Angeles burned in 1965 when a white California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a black motorist, starting a cascade of events that quickly released a community’s pent-up rage and frustration over police conduct. Detroit burned in 1967 after a police raid on an after-hours bar filled with African Americans similarly breached a dam holding back years of anger over police violence against black neighborhoods. Newark, N.J., burned that year too, a single arrest and beating of a black man unleashing years of community frustration. These upheavals reflected years of rising anger in African American neighborhoods over the conditions of their existence and the excesses of police departments that, as the motto says, were there to protect and to serve. Then came the 1991 police beating of Rodney King, all the proof Los Angeles needed that history does repeat itself.
And no, police violence does not justify the rampages that erupted in Minneapolis. But as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. pointed out more than a half-century ago, “a riot is the language of the unheard.” To focus on the damage and looting misses the point. Were it not for the killing of Floyd, and the history of police behavior, there would have been no protests.
According to one analysis, unarmed black Americans today are five times more likely to be killed by police than unarmed white Americans. We can blame some of that on over-policing, itself often an expression of unacknowledged bias. But the threat comes not just from people with badges. It crops up in daily life in the most mundane ways: A white woman calling New York City police on a black man out birdwatching who had the gall to ask her to leash her dog. A white man — again in Minneapolis — calling security when four black men rejected his demand for identification proving that they had permission to use the gym in a building where they all worked. A Starbucks manager calling police in Philadelphia to arrest two black men who were waiting to meet a potential business partner.
That’s not the police sparking a racially framed encounter; it is white Americans surfacing the structural racism that, in its worst excesses, ends with the deaths of black Americans. Trayvon Martin. Ahmaud Arbery. Their killings did not involve police.
Yet it is in the intersection of structural racism and the police — the people whom we empower and arm to enforce laws — where such violence resonates with such ferocity. Floyd’s death, as Minneapolis City Councilwoman Andrea Jenkins said, “was a symbol for a knee on the neck of black America.” That knee has been there for an unconscionably long time. Too long.
This is basically a call for criminal violence.
Of course, the word “mob” doesn’t appear on any of the homepages of the Big 4 newspapers.
And an Academy Award winner offers this:
Good citizens burning down the evil police precinct in MN after all police were out & safe. All police should go home. No violence please. Police HQ must be demolished by the city tomorrow as a show of contrition to black America. Rebuild PD with decent kind ppl aka ppl of color

Twitter’s trending topics editors seemed to settle on “heated protests”.
These protests, riots, whatever, are not as cool as bus company gun battles:
Even the Fox News TV network is calling the riots “protests.” Right now at the bottom of the screen, it says, “Nationwide Protests,” while the images above show fires, mobs and looters (with cops standing by doing nothing.)
We are gelded.
Really there are two things going on. On the one hand there are people making political protests who are somewhat sincere and on the other there are people who are simply out to loot and/or put themselves on Facebook.
But don’t overlook the role of the TV cameras. Are the TV cameras covering the protests or are the TV cameras instigating the protests and throwing gasoline on the fire by giving national and world coverage to a tut-tutting home theater audience?
And what about the president with his incendiary tweets? Well, one of the roles of government is to have plans for dealing with epidemics of illness another role is being prepared to deal with and prevent riots. How exactly is this being implemented from the perspective of central government, or is dealing with riots or the potential of riots solely delegated to the states?

I thought this guy’s reading into it, they’re just talking about the GOP expanding its voter demographics. Flash forward to 2014-15 and the left-fringe became the core.
I had trouble recalibrating to what’s considered mainstream — last decade really taught me not to listen to pundit prayers for bipartisanship and moderation, and look at what’s bubbling under the surface.

Because the right wants the middle to learn what the left does to cities when the left is in charge, that's why. The middle always has to learn the hard way, because they keep thinking, the left isn't really that bad.

There’s three things going on, I am afraid. The rioters, the incendiary coverage in an election year AND police brutality.
The NYT reads: “Were it not for the killing of Floyd, and the history of police behavior, there would have been no protests.” Substitute riots for protests and it would be an accurate (if incomplete) statement.
The left needs conflict to thrive. The tinder is overt injustice. I’m sure Soros is gloating about:
1) photo evidence of a burly policeman putting his weight on a black man’s neck
2) the stupid Americans who can’t be outraged because it is such a police/BLM meme.

Pardon me, Sir Tard: a knee on the back of the neck cannot cause asphyxiation unless that knee breaks thru the spine and crushes the trachea. This worthless jogga died of other causes. The autopsy will prove me correct.
Eventually, street crimes like passing counterfeit bills and shoplifting don't get a response and the cops tell you just make an insurance claim. Arrests of stupid blacks doing stupid things are just too fraught. This level of disorder is too high, and the insurance premiums too expensive, for white business owners, so they move out. Then the level of disorder gets too high for national chains to absorb, and they move out. Then the Left lectures us about food deserts.
It will all end in tears.
Trump needs to jump on the “it’s the white people causing the riots” but link it to Antifa, declare them a terrorist organization, and announce that only Antifa will be arrested, and then arrest them and indict them as domestic terrorists.
Let’s see how many white people start joining these protests now that they know they will be targeted for 30 years of prison time.
Terrible advice. Our President needs to embrace all whites. He would be foolish to alienate whites like HerTurn2016 did with her "basket of deplorables" cackle.

Ah, that beautiful communist bloc architecture. That’s the real Brutalism, and you’ll find it all over Eastern Europe. The courtyards are peaceful, though. You can hear the owls hoot at night, and the gypsies come in the quiet morning to pick through the garbage in the dumpsters. These places were considered luxurious, or at least modern, when built. Rooms inside are tiny, as are the balconies. If you’re lucky, there’s an elevator (the size of a phone booth.) If you’re even luckier, it works.
U.S. politicians never complain about the Israeli treatment of protesting Palestinians. They just send more money.
The police let it happen because the then Home Secretary and future PM had tried to implement some basic reforms. Blacks rioting unchecked across your home city is as bad as it gets.

I found more uses of “looting”:
Why weren't Africans in Europe in the 19th century, stealing our Charlemagne artifacts?
There’s a history of black rioting in London going back decades. I believe the first case was in Notting Hill in 1958, when it went on for more than two weeks. Then there were the riots of the 80s and the savage murder of police constable Blakelock.
White Liberals, and WASPs who see themselves as conserving WASP Empire, starting with Abolitionists have used blacks as weapons against all whites they see as inferior, as 'other,' as un-WASP.
Until we, in large numbers, understand that and act on the inherent implications, we cannot succeed in saving what was best about America, which was created and refined, improved, by the 'white trash' on the then frontiers and by 'ethnics' immigrating into cities, who created neighborhoods that worked similar to how small towns worked, meaning, they did NOT work against the majority of whites.

Law enforcement is primarily state and local.

Remember the riots that broke out in white suburbs all over the country when the black jury in LA gave OJ a pass for beheading his ex-wife and her boyfriend? Or the white riots in Minneapolis a year or so ago after the black Somali cop shot that white Australian lady for being …. uhh, white, I guess?

It’s hard to say at this stage, history being written mostly by anti-whites. According to Wikipedia, 72 whites and 36 blacks were arrested afterwards.

Police fought back then though.
Wherever blacks (meaning Bantu, West African in origin – who spread west and then south across the continent creating genocide on an epic scale, without Modern weapons) live, they will commit a huge number of violent crimes. When whites start to pamper them as poor mistreated victims, they become like baboons set loose among smaller monkeys.

Whoever invented the word “chimpout” did a valuable service to the English language.
True. In the last riots, in 2011, the payback came via CCTV. To the shock of the rioters, the authorities went through a lot of footage and prosecuted crimes that they’d normally have ignored. They wanted to ensure there wouldn’t be another major riot if they could help it. A large-scale breakdown of law and order could rouse the indigenous populace out of its media-induced coma.
I have heard the Israeli supreme court struck that down, but it is a hilarious example of how the Jews protect their land vs tell you how you should protect ykurs

Yes, in those days (2011) some police still had blogs. I can remember live commentary from London officers on the Inspector Gadget blog comments. The police were told to stay back and let them get on with it.
As well as the murder of Richard Mannington Bowes there were a couple of incidents of pure racial humiliation – in separate incidents a middle-aged white woman and a young white guy were forced to strip and had their clothes taken. The photographs seem to have vanished – I imagine Google’s decided not to link to them.
Sikhs in Southall and Turks in Green Lane who came onto the streets to defend “their areas” were hailed as community heroes in the Daily Mail, whites who did the same in Enfield and Eltham were “far-right gangs” in the Guardian – I believe the police arrested some in Eltham – easier targets.
Another good one, but we won’t do it. We love to go for the really big show. We invented Hollywood, you know.

Et tu Fox? They also honored the news blackout on saying Eric Ciaramella’s name. They are becoming increasingly cucked.
The Helter-Skelter race war angle was exploited by Vincent Bugliosi as a narrative for the prosecution and for his subsequent best-selling book and media celebrity. Manson himself was all over the map thematically; but he was usually more occult than political. After his release from Terminal Island in 1966, Manson began a series of contacts with parole officers and social scientists who were funded by non-profit institutes used as cover by the CIA. Beginning in 1966, Manson became an unwitting operative for James Jesus Angleton’s CHAOS.
“They are becoming increasingly cucked”
Increasingly cucked? Fox News is the corporate secretion of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes. And the “cucked” Alt-Right was a somewhat successful false-flag operation from Eric Holder’s DOJ.
That's basically all gone now, though, they've been co-opted since the nearly-identical BLM "protests" 4 years ago.
I never read Breitbart anymore but just took a quick gander, and it does appear that they're not falling for it; several headlines with "riot" or "loot". Unfortunately they're too sensationalist to have ever had the mainstream respectability of Fox.

2) the stupid Americans who can’t be outraged because it is such a police/BLM meme. A man died a horrible death at the hands of government officials. Be very shocked.Replies: @Je Suis Omar Mateen, @TomSchmidt, @The Anti-Gnostic
Stupid people, like George Floyd, do stupid things so they get placed under arrest by stupid cops, like Derek Chauvin, and neither can de-escalate for legitimate or non-legitimate reasons, and bad things happen. I’m not shocked.
Eventually, street crimes like passing counterfeit bills and shoplifting don’t get a response and the cops tell you just make an insurance claim. Arrests of stupid blacks doing stupid things are just too fraught. This level of disorder is too high, and the insurance premiums too expensive, for white business owners, so they move out. Then the level of disorder gets too high for national chains to absorb, and they move out. Then the Left lectures us about food deserts.
It will all end in tears.
A week ago there was massive amounts of outrage about a pool party with hysterical calls for all the attendees to self quarantine. Will those same people suggest that the rioting thugs to self quarantine?
If he has a heart condition.. why is he fighting the cops? Dude didnt even have the basic human smarts to self-preserve.

Should snipers be taking out perceived ring leaders? Or would the use of water pistols be a better choice?
You don't want to make a bad situation worse.
Why is the president not flying to Minneapolis to plead for calm and reconciliation?Replies: @Reg Cæsar, @HenryA, @FPD72, @Anon
Why is the president not flying to Minneapolis to plead for calm and reconciliation?
Because the right wants the middle to learn what the left does to cities when the left is in charge, that’s why. The middle always has to learn the hard way, because they keep thinking, the left isn’t really that bad.
Yes, the left is that bad.
Back in the eighties our feralgummint dispatched a cadre of us to Ship’s Self Defense Force training, one component of which was DoD SWAT school at the Picatinny Arsenal, home to Army firearms development. We got to play with a variety of toys there, from experimental caseless ammo rifles to grenade launchers, including several suppressed rifles and SMGs. The weapon that impressed me the most was a purpose built .22LR rifle with an integrated suppressor; the only noise one heard upon discharge was from the mechanical action of the rifle itself, “click”, no “phhtttt!” as on the big screen or lobotomy box. Even in those relatively placid times I grokked the extreme usefulness of such a tool.
As a last resort; they still have non-lethal means at their disposal. The fat blacks and their skinny white camp-followers need a dose of reality. When they block interstate highways and main thoroughfares they need to be stopped with force. They need to be bloodied and tossed into jail for forty-eight hours. Behind bars, the dangerously naive white kids can really get to know their black allies in social justice.Replies: @The Wild Geese Howard
I wonder if the naive white kids are aware of definitions #3 and #7 at this link:

I’m glad he followed my advice! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-george-floyd-protests-antifa-radical-left-tweet-a9540521.html
Donald, if you’re reading, you have to make a big announcement that ONLY Antifa will be treated like domestic terrorists and targeted for arrest. The vast majority of the black protestors are not Antifa so you won’t have the optics of lots of black people getting arrested. They were never going to vote for you anyway and your white conservative base will be more than happy to see them crippled.
They are probably easier to shoot as well. In Brooklyn one of these assholes was throwing cement at a police car - the cops sped past with the passenger door open and whacked him. He was a standing duck for a bullet.Replies: @Reg Cæsar
It’s established that a civilian can shoot to kill in his own defense. How about in the defense of someone else?
Any hard projectile is a life-threatening situation. Just ask the lateral descendants of Ray Chapman.
He grew up* in the only state with more Arabs than Jews?
If you’re going to be an “anti-Semite”, be consistent.
*Excuse me, I meant “came of age”.
It’s a priot.
Lon Horiuchi, call your office.
Nevertheless, Fox has occasionally held out against the most extreme left-wing narratives. For example, for many years they still used the word “illegal” instead of “undocumented”.
That’s basically all gone now, though, they’ve been co-opted since the nearly-identical BLM “protests” 4 years ago.
I never read Breitbart anymore but just took a quick gander, and it does appear that they’re not falling for it; several headlines with “riot” or “loot”. Unfortunately they’re too sensationalist to have ever had the mainstream respectability of Fox.
If "the people" want to burn down their police station, post office, and apartments, and the mayor wants to give them the moral authority to do so, then their wishes should be carried through and they should do without them going forward.
No cops. No post office. No businesses. No affordable housing.
It's the only way that they are taught to grow up slightly, and if they don't then its the only way that Minneapolis grows up in their approach to them.Replies: @JG
Then finally the local libs can get a real education rather then their classroom magical fantasy “debates”
Coolest .22LR silenced pistol story.
Local Chicago WLS-TV (Channel 7) ABC affiliate used the term “so-called protestors” a few minutes ago so the reporter definitely knows the power of word choice.
This is the results of all that Diversity poppycock the pea brain liberals have come out with over the years its the results of Open Borders and Obama and the Liberal Wanks
