Lol, well they don’t seem as popular as they once were.

Haven’t heard the term fishnet stockings in decades!

Why is the narration, editing, and shadow banning needed then?

If someone was brandishing a gun in a crowd -they killed themselves. If someone who had covid bad is having problems breathing when unobstructed wants to fight being arrested -they killed themselves.

Police are people, they can be corrupt like anyone else. They also do a shitty job that none of their critics would do. They’re under high scrutiny constantly and have to balance now whether to save their own life or risk going to prison from dangerous situations.

When BLM starts posting unedited un narrated raw footage without getting it shadow banned instead, then maybe they’d deserve an ear. Until then, all they’re doing is their part in diverting from the real problem of a genocidal, brutal racial slavery endorsing death cult. The art of war by turning their would be enemies against each other.

‘Death sentence’ - nice propaganda.

Some of the picture that you’re conveniently omitting:

George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).

George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.

At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).

George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.

Derek’s knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.

There’s conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let’s not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

So stop with the propaganda.

Sure, how were they sleeping while someone was next to them shooting? Why do you have a problem with painting the whole picture?

Go be a better cop and set an example.

This should be viral. Every BLM piece of propaganda on Youtube that I saw involving the death of a black person could be traced back to a shadow banned (by YouTube) raw video showing resisting arrest, brandishing a gun, etc. If they cared about people’s lives; they’d educate. My father had this talk with me, and any father that loves their kids should do likewise.

tldr or teeldeer is the short manual. fwiw

You’re implying that Lemmy is only for communist / socialists and not good for anything else? -Interesting.

I’m not feeling bad for you if you can’t afford your cigarettes, cannabis, crack, and alcohol because of your own damn choices.

I won’t say get a job: I’d say straighten yourself out and quit trying to rely on others handouts.

What happens when you don’t work for the slave master?

If you have an answer, you have an option, and that means choice. Did you never hear “Give me liberty or give me death”? Going out and being productive without an employer is far easier, is it not?

Pathetic is people that can’t negotiate their own pay and think their worth is more than it is.

Most people in the US are more than capable of ‘spreading the wealth’. -So what stops us?

I chose to not be addicted to drugs, to be responsible with money, and learn valuable skills and indepencence from employers. Why should I provide for someone choosing different (or enabling them to go even further down a bad path)? Wealthy people are no different in this respect, they just have more money. Squandering it on people who claim to be poor isn’t as good as…

Buying up farmland in the USA to keep it out of the hands of China, or funding vaccinations. -Something a ‘billionaire’ has been doing.

Or… give an example of people winning big on the lottery and compare it to the people who’s lives were destroyed by the easy money. Being a better steward of money doesn’t make someone evil.

lol!

It’s argued that slavery was a choice. Working minimum is far more so.

Cleaning up other people’s litter. lol The guy does a service. I just return my own and my landlords.

Experiencing homelessness leads to a better understanding of homelesseness. Same with wealth; if you’ve never been wealthy; you don’t know the experience. Sure, it’s nice that you show you care about it, but anything you have to contribute on the topic is about as effective as donating to a scam artist and thinking you did good.
