    The only thing that makes sense is she was doing some kind of zombie arm raise. Weirdest wave I've ever seen. Would honestly love to see a video of it.

    I've never seen somebody wave in that stiff a way in that video. while it wasn't a blatant one it looks like it's possible it was intentional.

    Should be interesting if that's the route he takes. I mean, not like a former leader of the KKK was out there saying they were all there for Trump.

    But no surprise and I'm sure the loyal right wing media will read the bullet points and establish it as fact.

    This is the same playbook they've been using for decades. Kent State was the fault of the students, university, and the anarchists - not the armed national guard, or Governor Rhodes and Nixon basically saying use any means of force to shut the hippies up.

    You can point the facts out or the hypocrisy of equating BLM and left protestors to Nazis but these people don't want to hear it. They are going to support their team no matter what.

    I think it's important to note that the people loudly proclaiming their support of the corrupt system of policing are knowingly doing it in the context of racial violence by police and that's a coded way of saying black lives don't matter. It's not a stretch to say you've gotta be a little racist to wave the blue line flag.

  12. Yeah, but we know he likes to ad-lib. I'm sure he will still use this as an opportunity to speak out against the left.

    every cop who tries to do good either gets fired, gets relegated to desk work, or becomes bad. there's no functioning in the system of policing as a good cop. it's impossible.

    And I agree with that. But there are those that mean it to support those who aren't corrupt. And I do think it's important to support those who do good, you know? But I do wish they chose a much less broad way of doing it. I think we should support those who do good, but not the entire system itself.

    I want the same fury they have towards Isis on these nazis. Label them a terrorist group, imprison their leaders, cut off lines of communications nd radicalization, stomp this shit out. Sessions can tweet all he wants but I don't believe anything until I see action.

    I would disagree with that. I do believe there are cops who are good, and I don't think they all become bad.

    Likely and this is late and pointless anyway. I guarantee a team of young uncredited writers worked frantically to write something that wasn't complete garbage yesterday and it'll still be garbage.

    You're ignoring his point, even a good cop can't overcome a broken system. They don't become bad, they're complicit in a system they can't change no matter how good they act as individuals

    If you're gonna show me feel good stories of a cop not being racist because they played basketball with a black kid then save your time

    It's more about hte system than the individual....i.e. they might individually be a good person, but they're serving a system that, as it's currently constructed, basically punishes people of color differently than white people.

    Do what they did to Hunter Moore and have them all be stuck in their parents' house without internet access for every alt right leader
