Oh look in about 12hrs I’m taking a 6 day break from this board. I wonder if Covid 19 and these riots can be over when I get back? Maybe everything will be peaceful and normal when I come back

Enjoy yourself and try not to think about any of this while you’re gone, we need you refreshed when you get back.
 
2020 is going to go down as the year we made the full turn to insanity. Mark my words. The kind of thinking and ideology being embraced by so many now is downright scary and will maximize acceleration of the polarization that has been simmering for several years now. Throw a resurgence of the virus in the mix and you have a recipe for some really trying times right ahead. Strap in, folks.
 
the Mayors action has now green lit people to believer the officer actually did wrong. Officers are now going to be scared to actually perform their job, and I’m sure many will leave as a result. Weakening the police force is not the way to go people. Also firing an officer before you even have all the evidence is a shame. All the news stations are still saying the victim was unarmed when he most definitely was armed with the officers weapon his physically stole. The country without police is going to be a scary one.... this “looting” is just the start

Absolutely and gun sales are through the roof. Because people are scared of what’s to come.

Wouldn’t be surprised if many APD officers walk away. Mayor obviously doesn’t have their back here, hence why the police chief “resigned”. She immediately fired the officer. The officer was attacked and then had his own weapon used against him, so the suspect didn’t even have his back turned.

Suspect also failed a sobriety test
 
This is just sad situation for everybody involved, the man killed (as well as his family) and the officer and his family. Really wish people would give the police the same presumption of innocence they give some that are arrested or injured while breaking the law. This qualifies for everybody involved as a no win situation :(

Because a lot of us have seen our wages go up 20% since 2016 as well as keep more disposable income thanks to lower taxes. We all (working folks) have gained wealth. Better off than 3 and half years ago -pre -March 2020

I'm totally better off. My income has increased every year since 2017.

We were talking about something like this happening last week with a friend. She was in Seattle I believe during the Vietnam War, and protestors went as far as blocking the interstate there as well. They were shouting "Honk if you're for peace!"

Well, she was, but because the mob was going as far as blocking the interstate, she did not. She had a man yelling at her to do it and even shook the car, but eventually, they moved on.

After that I talked about how "imagine if we're in Atlanta, and some freaking protests shut us down from moving on the connector." Well, I don't think this is exactly on the connector or on the northern half of 75 in there, but it is in the perimeter, so lo and behold...

 
When will this madness end? We are fast reaching a point where it will be very difficult to keep a lid on things in this country as the election approaches and then afterwards when someone wins. Both parties need to cool the incendiary rhetoric for a while right now IMO or they will pour gasoline on this already simmering firestorm

This gaslighting is all political in nature. After the election it will end unless Trump gets re-elected, then the left will protest forever. Their gonna be LOUD and do anything to get Trump out of office. Scare people out of voting for him by labeling them as a racist or canceling them. It’s just the world we live in I guess

Sad part is this shouldn’t be happening no matter who is in office. These aren’t protestors anymore. They’re destroyers.
 
I totally understand the plight behind BLMs and have been pretty vocal and adamant in my support of their movement as many on here are aware, but this situation is most certainly NOT an example of police brutality and so many people are being dumb by overreacting before all the facts emerge and are using it as an excuse to commit crimes, cause mass chaos, and destroy businesses like the Wendy's which did literally nothing to help or harm the suspect. The media is of course also blowing it out of proportion and spitting out headlines like "innocent, unarmed man, etc" K.. a taser while not as lethal as a gun still causes cardiac arrest.

Not to mention what does lighting Wendy’s on fire actually accomplish? They had absolutely nothing to do with what happened except the fact the incident occurred in their parking lot.

I got the f out of Atlanta today. Was a planned vacation but spending a week in Daytona. Glad I’m not there.

Doesn’t feel so good when anarchy starts knocking on the door. I’m just glad they moved the Braves stadium to Smyrna a few years ago ??
 
We're at a point where police brutality and racism are assumed automatically and little good will come from that. Here's an entire S. FL SWAT team that just resigned because they feel the current cultural and political climate would prevent them from doing their jobs. And I'm guessing they feel they'd be in a no win situation. We could be in for a LOT more of this, which is not the path we want to be on.

Hallandale Beach SWAT team resigns en masse

The team offered its collective resignation in a letter dated Tuesday, June 9, but city officials said they did not receive it until Friday morning. City Manager Greg Chavarria assured the public that the team’s duties will be covered through a regional mutual agreement.

I referenced this a couple weeks ago. The mayor of Atlanta pulled a “Obama” tonight and convicted those cops prematurely. She also painted a target on law enforcement and her city. Obama did the same thing in Dallas back in 2016 and 5 officers were killed as a result.

CNN and MSNBC are still convinced he’s guilty.
