I'm gonna be honest...not digging the last few posts. The 'majority' of people anywhere you go in regards to anything are generally good people, it's violence and a shitty subculture that makes it seem otherwise. I say this as a person who is more against riots than probably anybody on this board, mostly because I know what the Internet response is going to be. I don't see SJW's the same way others might see them, I see them as the guys who take to the Internet to trash groups of people when the opportunity arises. Just my POV

Also, that last picture has no context, is welfare an issue in Baltimore? Do we know that or is it just the standard poor/welfare insults that come with the territory?

I'd say it's more of an observation than an insult.

Well said. You'd think we as a species would be beyond this shit by now, but apparently not. This matter shouldn't even be a race issue. It's a matter of police brutality. The driver of the police van which was supposedly driving erratically with Freddie Gray unrestrained in the back was black. Apparently he is racist against his own people.

Meanwhile this white guy (Link to video) gets his face chewed up by a police dog while he is clearly surrendering with his hands in the air. Neither of those men were doing anything worthy of being physically restrained the way they were.

Bottom line is police officers need to wear cameras on their person at all times. No matter what. They cannot be trusted otherwise.

What was wrong with the last few posts? People who are pieces of shit or thugs are just that. Being a piece of shit or a thug isn't reserved for 1 race.

The last few posts involved me discussing people on my facebooks stream using "thug" as a euphamism for black criminal (and that some might want to be aware of this trend lest they get grouped with this crowd accidentally) and my disdain for SJW.

I think its personal profit driven, but given your opinion here...

I'm confused on what you don't dig.

What's wrong is conflating people who are recipients of public services with violent responses, which doesn't add anything to the discussions. The only purpose for posting that Kermit pic is to add to the narrative that the people in Baltimore's grievances have no credence and they're all moochers who will go back to the government teat in a week while those noble business owners will be screwed. It's the type of post we'd get from Nitecrawler over at the other place.

What we've seen in the subsequent investigation is the very real abuse of authority that's led to the malicious death of at least one man. Yes, Baltimore has labored under the spectre of poverty for decades, but they've also labored under KKK grand wizard police, ill considered policies like urban renewal and of course the drug epidemic.

Any person who believes in checking encroachment of government should be far less concerned with what's going into people's wallets and more concerned with how often the batons and jackboots are coming out on the people of this country.

I'm just glad we have a general consensus that police brutality is wrong.
