Were the police too brutal last summer and fall to the mostly peaceful protesters who were merely engaging in undocumented shopping, arson for equity, and violence against brutality? Or were they not brutal enough?
Black politicians in New York and Chicago are having a hard time getting their story straight on this burning question of the day.
From the New York Times:
N.Y. Attorney General Sues N.Y.P.D. Over Protests and Demands Monitor
Letitia James says the police have used illegal and harmful tactics for years, and wants a federal monitor to oversee the department’s tactics at future demonstrations.
By Ashley Southall
Jan. 14, 2021The New York State attorney general sued the New York City Police Department on Thursday over what she said were widespread abuses in how officers handled the protests that erupted last summer after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The attorney general, Letitia James, wants a court-appointed monitor to oversee the department’s policing tactics at future protests, and a court order to declare that the policies and practices the department used during the protests last May and June were unlawful.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, marked the first time in history that the state attorney general has sued a police department, according to Ms. James’s office.
More than 2,000 demonstrators were arrested, most of them while protesting peacefully.
Mostly peaceful: no more than 999 of the 2000 were rioting.
But from CBS 2 in Chicago:
By CBS 2 Chicago Staff January 14, 2021
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Police Department has suspended at least 12 officers accused of lounging, napping, making coffee and popping popcorn in Congressman Bobby Rush’s campaign office in June while looters tore apart the strip mall outside.
Two police sources tell CBS2 Investigator Brad Edwards at least a dozen officers and command staff will face multi-week suspensions. …
The incident happened on June 1, 2020, at Rush’s campaign office at 5401 S. Wentworth Ave., as protests and looting were underway throughout the city in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Lightfoot and Rush were furious that while other officers were dealing with the unrest, at least 13 officers were caught on video relaxing in the congressman’s office.
“One was asleep on my couch in my campaign office. They even had the unmitigated gall to go and make coffee for themselves and to pop popcorn, my popcorn, in my microwave,” Rush said at the time. “They were in a mode of relaxation and did not care about what was happening. They did not care. They absolutely did not care.”
Can you blame them? If you were a cop & had a mob of crazies outside burning the city down and you could drive by & wave on your way to the donut shop…..wouldnt you?
Clearly the feds are making up for lost time by throwing the book at this mostly peaceful undocumented tour group.
From Space Marines to this in four short years. This must be what Icarus felt like, tumbling back to God’s Gay Earth.
For a second I thought the guy standing behind Mayor Lightfoot was bound and gagged.
That’s a very ugly sweater.
They should have shot a few of the arsonists and looters right off the bat in Minneapolis. That would have put paid to the rioting.

Maybe.
But by African mercenaries whose dark complexion surpasses any potential African American casualties. (If they need to be white units just make damn sure they’re Israeli IDF.)
Considering their Twitter page is still up, it should be safe to do so.

They weren’t penitent enough. Those CPD cops should have been out there wearing masks and taking knees.
No only white right wingers are subject to deadly force
Had I been mayor of any of these cities, I’d have ordered the police to shoot any and all white rioters. That would have confused everybody.
Particularly any FBI or NSA or CIA infiltrators.
Reminder of what happened a mere six months ago that has been largely memory holed.

I left NYC months ago, and I'm more convinced than ever that I'm never going back. I use the Citizen app to monitor both protests and more common criminal behavior (i.e. murder, rape, assault, burglary, etc.) and it's clear that the streets of lower Manhattan are basically a free-for-all.

One thing that the black politicians will agree upon is that no amount of police brutality will be sufficient to prosecute the “white supremacist” Capitol “insurrectionists” especially since there was a noose involved!!
The following statement was released by “The Honorable Mayor Ras J. Baraka, The City of Newark, NJ”:
“Last week, we saw Trump inciting American insurrection, treason, and sedition in the U.S. Capitol. These violent crimes included placing a noose on the Capitol lawn, assault, and six American citizens’ death.”
“These are perilous times and Newark stands in support of the many law enforcement agencies that are uniting to tackle what will be the largest domestic terror and sedition investigation in American history, to bring to justice every person who committed this horrific conspiracy.”
Not to mention that you stand a chance of spending the rest of your life being tortured in prison if you should happen to enforce something when you shouldn’t, like a law for instance. Against someone you shouldn’t, like anyone but a white male for instance.
Wow, that sounded really pro-cop. Good.

The last video had some mildly interesting scenes, but he regurgitates the “police murdered George Floyd” hoax. Actual videos on the scene show that Floyd was screeching “I can’t breathe” before any officer laid a hand on him. It was drugs in his system which created breathing problems. The officer who held him down applied pressure on the side of Floyd’s neck which would not affect the windpipe in any person of normal condition. It was not a chokehold that Floyd was subject to and implying that it was is just regurgitating propaganda.
[sarc off]
The man was claustrophobic. He couldn't breathe because his lungs were shutting down due to a drug overdose. No doubt the cop putting pressure on his carotid artery probably didn't help a whole lot, but the whole 'Hands Up, I Can't Breathe Racism' narrative to justify burning things up is a lie.
IOW just another day at work for our corrupt corporate media hacks and bootlicks.
Mostly Peaceful Rioters
Dictatorship is coming anyway, might as well be our guy.
The Loot&Lounge would have been acceptable.
But it was the popcorn. The pocpcorn … that … just … went … too … far!

Letitia James is just another one of the many NYC politicians and bureaucrats that have made, and are continuing to make NYC unlivable for law-abiding citizens.

Sadly, now that Second City Cop blog is gone, we will never know why those cops were in former black panther bobby bush’s office. I recall that they were assigned to the location. SCC had photos of the massive police presence guarding lightfoot’s house. Security for me, and not for thee. SCC also recently published how many businesses have or are leaving Chicago’s high end shopping district. Go for the cops, the thugs on the street are too dangerous to deal with.
When it’s a guarantee that every rioter will get released right away, why should they care? Clearly their job doesn’t matter if criminals won’t face any legal consequences for, you know, breaking the law. Police should strike in these cities (who cares if they’re “technically” not supposed to?) but public sector employees only strike over their pensions. Every teachers strike is over pensions while the press drums up sob stories about classroom supplies and the like
Right — did anyone hear a peep out of Schumer and Gillibrand when NYC was burning last summer? And Nadler was like, “Violence? What violence?” But when a little unrest comes to their front door, Congress is right on it!

Known, NYS is cursed with two of the most useless, “look at me” senators and probably the biggest egomaniac as governor. PS, cuomo lost a court decision yesterday regarding the closing (lockdown) of 91 restaurants in WNY. We are now waiting to see how he stomps on these businesses that dared to challenge him. I am quessing over policing of any and all minor code infractions and then loss of liquor license. Stay safe.

Tech, with biden as POTUS you will see a new push to move POC into “affordable” housing in the suburbs. obama made this a cornerstone of his urban policy.
Absolutely. “Suck it, Griswold!” is a rallying cry for all disparate wings of the dissident right movement.

Griswold was pushed by Jews. Enough said, right?
If George had almost four times the lethal amount of fentanyl in his system that he did according to the autopsy, if they had shot him and he bled out, the cops would have ODed from the fumes.

If that were representative of the extent of what the parties in Griswold had been engaged in, they wouldn’t have required contraceptives in the first place.
But they might have run afoul of sodomy laws.
