Wow, Dioneo. I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were standing right there and know exactly what went down from firsthand experience.

I bow to your superior situational awareness.

And, again, oh for fuck's sake. What fucking planet do you live on? Yes, there are hidden machinations in the world that need to be uncovered, etc. etc. And there has also been systemic violence by your and my fucking white ancestors against Africans for the last 500 fucking years and, at some point, even the white folks say enough is e-fucking-nough. That's why this was covered to the extent it was, not because of some nefarious media plot.

quite right, but now the fill-in-the-blank-Hoax crew have been unleashed, I guess they were getting bored since we've been short on mass shootings of school children lately.

Killings by Utah police outpacing gang, drug, child-abuse homicides

[Jerky]

Oh dear. I seem to have given the new guy a case of butt-hurt.

Don't worry, new guy. It's not like there's anything I can do to keep you from basking in the glorious feels generated by your entirely misplaced and media-manipulated sense of self-righteous indignation.

You just go ahead and enjoy!

Love,

misplaced ?

[Jerky]

Yup. Misplaced.

[Jerky]

Unless you think shrieking his inchoate (virtual) head off at all the "fucking white people" here in the Rigorous Intuition forum is going to bring Mike Brown back from the dead, or something.

[Jerky]

And, just so you know, I'm not a member of any "Hoax crew", as you put it.

Warning to Ferguson Police: Protesters Win Millions for Police Misconduct

BILL QUIGLEY FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

Police officers should approach Ferguson protestors with caution and fully respect their constitutional rights. That is the clear message from recent court awards and settlements against police force abuses against demonstrators.

New York City just paid out $17.9 million to more than 1800 protestors arrested during the 2004 Republican National Convention, according to CNN.

An Iraq War veteran injured by police during Occupy protest in Oakland has been awarded $4.5 million after being struck in the head by a beanbag fired by police.

UC Davis paid out $1 million to 21 demonstrators who were pepper sprayed during Occupy protests November 2011. This was $30,000 per demonstrator and $250,000 in attorney fees. The University apologized and the officer who pepper sprayed the protestors was fired.

Oakland paid $1.1 million to members of the Occupy movement for police misconduct during the protests.

New York paid over $580,000 to 14 protestors wrongfully arrested during an Occupy Wall Street march.

A small town in New Hampshire paid a woman $57,000 after they arrested her for videotaping a police stop.

These awards are in the context of much higher awards nationally for police misconduct. Chicago paid out $84 million in settlements for police abuse cases in 2013 alone. Los Angeles paid out $54 million in settlements for police brutality in 2011. Bloomberg News estimated New York City has paid out as much as $735 million for police abuse claims in one year.

Uh, what part of this do you want to fucking argue with, Jerky?

You are not only an idiot, you are a useful idiot. Instead of confronting real crimes that happened right in front of our eyes--instead of confronting your own complicity in those crimes--you want to play internet gotcha. "Hoax crew" is too kind a term for your particular brand of stupidity.

People like you keep this joint one step removed from toxic waste dump.

Oh, and by the way--that's not how you use the word "inchoate." Moron.

[stickdog99]

Sorry, Lynn, but I think Respondent kind of got the better of you in that argument.

If you don't think Ferguson is mostly a media creation, I've got a story about a polar bear that I'd like you to read:

Yeah, the reason this one was blown up, unlike a hundred other more undeniably inexcusable cop executions, is because it is legitimately divisive.

The size and race disparity, the fact that there is video of the victim robbing a small business, the fact that Brown attacked the officer at the police car, and the fact that "secret witnesses" claimed Brown was charging Wilson all allow the media to portray this event in the most divisive manner possible.

Do you side with the brave men in uniform or the thugs they shoot dead? Make a judgment now! Do you feel strongly enough about this to donate your blood to the side you favor? Do you support rioting? Are you committed enough to don anti-riot gear yourself in order to save Gotham?

Why didn't they release all the evidence in support of the officer IMMEDIATELY unless they were doing their best to create such a divisive spectacle?

Keep the poor people divided against one another. Keep them thinking their real enemy is the other poor manipulated schmuck on the other side of the hot button issue. It's the oldest game in the book.

[Jerky]

Thank you, Stickdog. I was starting to get worried about this place.

Jerky

[Jerky]

Oh, pardon me, new guy. Let me correct my usage for you:

Unless you think his inchoate shrieking at all the "fucking white people" here in the Rigorous Intuition forum is going to bring Mike Brown back from the dead, or something.

Hope that passes muster.

Now excuse me while I go set your ignorant, foolish ass to IGNORE. You can hereby flame away secure in the knowledge that I won't be giving any fucks at all about it from hereon out!

Hahah! I win!

Love,
Jerky

All the rigor and intuition here is great, but I'd like to continue working on a higher dosage of radical resistance to institutional racism. It's one of the only things I feel like I have to go elsewhere to find quality discussions.
