The last thing that city needs right now is more racial tension; but FFS... Cant these buttholes wait and see if it was a justified shoot or not?

 

[bobgeese]

 

[cottagecheesefan]

All still developing. Seems to have been a traffic stop, and person shot was passenger. Dont know more about it than this and normally not news worthy... however, given location and tensions in that area, worth posting

And here we go

That tweet of the video of some threatening the lives officers and their loved ones is not cool. What exactly happened?

 

[Proud American]

ACCELERATE

 

[GoldenWolf87]

Looks like one BLM rioter got shot with a rubber bullet.

 

[TheRealHNIC]

Spidey senses are tingling

 

[Papi Chulo]

Here we go again.

 

[Shoden]

Inb4 shit gets real

 

[ElKarlo]

Well here we go again. It’s 1934 or so by my Spanish civil war clock.

 

[Err]

 

[lifelessheap]

Can't we have an investigation?

 

[Steve-French]

...

[CantCucktheTuck]

Can't we have an investigation?

nothing can get in the way of stealing.

 

[GoldenWolf87]

Sigh. And still no background on what exactly happened?

 

[Rocco Siffredi]

And here we go

if only there was such outrage when a black person killed another black person as that is many times more prevalent.

It is like not giving a shit about something every fucking day of the year except leap day.

Can't we have an investigation?

and they will receive orders on body cam footage / evidence not being released until they've exhausted all avenues of not letting a "crisis" go to waste. Like the Ahmud Arbury evidence (neighbors knew about him stealing and called him "the jogger") and the court evidence in Floyd case not seen before (when he was high in the store and something else I think).

 

[Papi Chulo]

Many of these cities just need to be left to rot. If you're a cop you're probably thinking it would be good to get out of Minneapolis.
