Opinion How have the current Riots affected your voting decision?

[Handsome Bruce]

Oh good another Alt account

Do you have a problem with something specifically that I posted or am I just wasting my time even responding to your post?

 

[all caps]

Im sure voting for your next master should save you

 

[Officer Rick]

That is leftard logic, my man. If you do not 100 percent completely agree with the latest fashionable cause created on a whim by some lunatics on the left, then you are not an ally and are called whatever insult or (insert name here)-phobic that is trending among the leftists for that week. Double-standards and being a hypocrite do not matter to a leftard as long as you are on the bandwagon that is trending at the moment.

so what was your banned account(s) name?

This all started because police don't want to take responsibility for their actions. They abuse their authority and cover for their pig friends until the public has had enough and now you want to talk about responsibility? Ha, okay.

They could probably do nothing to satisfy your nitpicking. If someone wants to protest peacefully by kneeling during the anthem or blocking a road or something then Americans like you start whining about the protests being inconvenient or infringing on their sports or whatever.

Not surprised, like I said you're 100% okay with government tyranny so long as its leftist protestors and blacks under the government boot and not people who look and think like you.

Complete horse shit.

police should be held to the standard of their policies and procedures. If they violate their rules and regulations, they should be disciplined accordingly.

So, because I bitch about being inconvenienced, you condone the destruction of private property and violence against people who had absolutely nothing to do with any of it?

how tolerant of you...

Please explain to me how looters are going to gain support for police brutality.

Making people angry is no way to gain sympathy for your cause. Do you really think these actions are going to bring in more support? It’s just going to galvanize the people that they are violating and cause deeper resentment.

I pray that those ANTIFA punks make it out to our neighborhood. Those stupid fucks aren’t about anything but chaos.

 

[Darkballs]

That’s what a Confederate apologist thinks about it.

Could you roll over in bed and ask your cousin what she thinks about all this?

British East India Company.

You're gonna have to spell it out for me, because I'm not getting it. The EIC wasn't owned and operated by the crown.

Oooooh, got me on that one. Aren’t you leftist fucks supposed to be tolerant? Oh yeah, only if it includes minorities.

Complete horse shit.

police should be held to the standard of their policies and procedures. If they violate their rules and regulations, they should be disciplined accordingly.

And we see that cops have very little motivation to hold their own accountable, hence the fact that it only happens when citizens film them in the act and generate public outrage. That's the problem people like you want to ignore in favor of your pearl clutching.

So, because I bitch about being inconvenienced, you condone the destruction of private property and violence against people who had absolutely nothing to do with any of it?

how tolerant of you...

I didn't say that but not surprised you'd be dishonest, its a requirement for Confederacy apologism really.

What I said was that there's a portion of Americans like yourself who pretend to support peaceful protest but when faced with an actual peaceful protest will endlessly nitpick it and dismiss the message because the protest is mildly inconvenient.

I'm not defending the looting, though busting up a few police cruisers isn't going to bother me much. But my point is that the hypocritical cries for "peaceful protests" from disingenuous people like you is part of the problem. If Americans like your refuse to respond to peaceful protests don't be surprised when they're not so peaceful anymore. And anyway aren't Americans like you always going about how the 2nd amendment is for government tyranny? These people are actually facing government tyranny, not the imagined tyranny that keeps you up at night.

So to be clear I am against the looting but I am also not under the illusion that peaceful protests will work because people like you don't seem very moved by them.

 

[TheOneAboveAll3]

Your reading comprehension is pretty bad, hey?

Your previous post either makes no sense at all or youre full of shit. You get to pick just one, which would it be?

Yeah I remember a few years ago when NYers were peacefully protesting yet people were still complaining. For example crying that they were going to be a few minutes late to where they had to get to lol.

 

[The Diplomat]

A significant number sure, that is not up for debate. However, I think you're mis-characterizing the frustration of a whole lot of Americans who simply have had enough. Enough with the notion of a country as idealistic as this, policing its own citizens in a fashion resembling China or Russia than it does any 1st world country.



For the actual protesters? Police reform.



*More stringent hiring standards
*Longer and more rigorous basic training
*Continuous in-service training (conflict resolution training, de-escalation tactics, combatives etc.)
*Significantly better pay in accordance with all these other directives
*Mandated body-cam usage (ideally federally set)
*Mandatory citizen review boards
*Felony charges for body-cam tampering (ideally federally set)
*Funding (at least partially) police misconduct settlements directly out of police pensions rather than city coffers
*Anonymous whistleblower protection (ideally federally set)
*Legislating the removal of unfair police protections imposed by the unions (includes getting rid of qualified immunity)
*Mandating special prosecutors for police misconduct cases (will ideally limit legal bias)
*Incentivizing community hiring
*Decentivizing quota-based policing (instead promoting community engagement performance goals, spotless disciplinary records etc)

Among other things...

I agree with all of this, but each department is it's own entity with it's own budget. It seems it would be a step towards federalizing local police.

Pretty sure that condemnation of incest is a bi-partisan thing.

Also, you're speaking to another southerner, one who actually served in the military and fought in wars, so maybe calm down on the confederate flexing little buddy.

Biden supports the rioters and is weak on China. I think Trump could have handled this better but a Biden presidency would be the death knell for America. You might as well learn how to speak Chinese at that point.

how could he have handled it worse?

 

[Deleted member 484047]

Nope. Still voting third party all the way down the ticket, except for one race where I will vote republican because our house rep is a fucking jackass. Not his policies mind you, since he the best example of a DINO is the democratic party. But personally, the guy is a fucking jackass.

What does that even mean? You serving in the military has nothing to do with the riots or the Confederacy.

 

[oldshadow]

Yeah, you didn't read the link.

Yes I did some of his staff members are donating for a bail fund for the rioters.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

Have these riots made you lean towards a vote for Biden or a Vote for Trump?

Have any of you changed your decision as a result of these riots??

These riots have shown me that we can't afford to have any Democrats in office. We have racial unrest eerywhere they get control.

 

[Darkballs]

And I'd say that you signing off as a "Confederate apologist," has nothing to do with you ignorantly lumping lawful protestors with unlawful rioters.

Or perhaps it has everything to do with such a distinction.

 

[Higus]

feel free to quote the part in the link that says they are bailing out rioters.

 

[heloder]

The riots didn't affect my vote, but watching the spineless, corrupt GOP put their party and self-interests above the sanctity and welfare of the Republic over the last four years by throwing in with and continuing to defend a piece of shit like Trump has ensured that I will never vote for a Republican for any office for the rest of my life.

I doubt I'm alone in feeling this way. They handcuffed themselves to a dead hooker in 2016, and now every one of them owns it.
