@LuFins-Dad said in Louisville is about to burn :

Personally, I want to know more about why DEMOCRAT GREG FISCHER, the mayor of Louisville FOR TEN YEARS and the Louisville City Council led by DEMOCRAT David James and consisting of Jessica Green DEMOCRAT, Barbara Shanklin DEMOCRAT, Krishna Dorsey DEMOCRAT, and 16 other DEMOCRAT members vs 6 Republican, green, and independent council members have chosen to run a police department full of fascist and racist pigs headed up by DEMOCRAT AND TRUMP CRITIC Steve Conrad.

These officers reported to DEMOCRAT Conrad, who reported in turn to DEMOCRAT FISCHER, DEMOCRAT Cindy Fowler, DEMOCRAT Mark Fox, so many more old white DEMOCRATS.

Wait but everyone I see online is saying we should “vote for change” so they are voting republican?

They also don't understand that local elections always lead to more direct change.

As it should be. Local and state taxes shoud exceed federal and programs should be moved to those levels.

Been shouting this from the rooftops for years. And at a local level, your vote actually does make a difference.

Agreed

We can't push everything down but what can be effectively should be. This is where innovation will come from.

C'mon, white people can care about black lives too. That's a virtue.

Interesting, @Mik. Do you agree with Malcolm X's assessment as articulated in the video? Which "team" are you on in his "football" metaphor?

Layers and layers of fact checkers at CNN:

According to Cuomo, it was “unclear” if one of the cops was shot by Taylor’s boyfriend or his own officers.

“A cop was hit at some point. Horrible. Officer Mattingly. But by whom? By Walker or friendly fire? Ballistics make it unclear,” Cuomo stated.

During a press conference earlier in the day, however, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron explicitly stated that “there’s no evidence to support that Sergeant Mattingly was hit by friendly fire from other officers.”

“In addition to all the testimony, the ballistics report shows that the round that struck Sergeant Mattingly was fired from a nine-millimeter handgun. The LMPD officers fired 40 caliber handguns,” Cameron explained.

Yeah but Asian people are politically invisible.

This is a good case in point about how pop culture ideas matter. Malcolm X articulated what it took me 25+ years to figure out. Because what he said is not only not taught, it is ashamedly concealed with shrugs and smiles and promises of social status.

Interesting development.

I saw release the proceedings. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that BLM will engage in a civil debate based on facts and reason.

[jon-nyc]

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but a twitter commenter said the same thing happened after Darren Wilson’s grand jury in Ferguson, but the records weren’t released and it didn’t go anywhere.

[Kincaid]

I was watching a clip from The View and one of the women hosts, apparently with some background as a prosecutor, lamented that since a DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, it was obvious that the Louisville DA wasn't even trying.

As if to indict the officers no matter the facts would have been a good and necessary thing.
