New shooting in Wisconsin. Looks bad. Guy did not die and is in a stable condition.
Riots are kicking off hard-core in that area.
Guy might have been going to grab something from his car.
He had an existing warrant for his arrest.Can someone please explain how the couple in St Louis who were on private property brandishing arms have been charged but this guy shouting down the police on public / municipal property gets a bye?

If you don't make a particular gesture with your hand the mob will come for you.
Its all very familiar, what happens if a political party that supports this gets into power?
That's fucking frightening really.

@Paekakboyz said in Black Lives Matter:
@Rembrandt Do you think BLM should morph into a wider reform/retrain police movement rather than solely focusing on the treatment of Black folks by police? so they become advocates for all races?
Being an advocate of all races also means being an advocate of white people and being an advocate of white people also reinforces white privilege.
Therefore, being an advocate of all races is actually racist.
Well, that seems to be the current thinking

Guy might have been going to grab something from his car.
He had an existing warrant for his arrest.That's just asking to die.
If they had to let rip, why not put just a shell into his butt? Won't be going anywhere after that?!

That sounds ideal eh, but strikes me as utterly unrealistic.

This woman is a Senior BBC Producer, FFS.
I don’t even know what that means. I’ve tried parsing it, but no. What’s her point, that Britain was hypocritical in 1740? How does that relate to neo-Nazis? Why do people who sing Elgar’s version have to have an opinion on what neo-Nazis shout? I’m confused.

@Victor-Meldrew said in Black Lives Matter:
Only makes sense if you think she's saying that if you disagree with her that Rule Britannia should be banned, you're no better than a Nazi.
Andrew Neil reply: If Britannia had not ruled the waves there would never have been a Royal Navy strong enough to abolish the slave trade, intercepting 1,600 ships and freeing 150,000 Africans while sustaining major casualties. Guess it’s too late to delete your tweet?
