Another example of racist white cops wanting to destroy black males. Thank you for letting us know about this one, ax. I simply refuse to allow white male cops to continue to run rampant against black people. Publicizing these stories is the most effective thing good people like you and me can do to battle against this modern genocide. I fear it will never, ever, go away. White cops hate black people and want to murder them. This will be an American fact until all of us are long gone. All of us, all of our children, all of our grandchildren, will know that this genocide of black people perpetrated by white cops is going on in our back yards every day and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Police in a Minneapolis suburb say an officer fatally shot a driver Sunday, leading to clashes between protesters and law enforcement, CBS Minnesota reports. The death of the man, identified by family as Daunte Wright, and ensuing unrest came in the midst of the Derek Chauvin trial for the killing of George Floyd.
Police said officers in the city of Brooklyn Center pulled over a driver they'd determined had an outstanding warrant just before 2 p.m. Police said when they tried to arrest him, he got back in his vehicle and drove away. An officer fired at the vehicle, hitting the driver. Police said the vehicle traveled several blocks before hitting another one. No one in that second vehicle was hurt.
The driver of the first vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said officers were believed to be wearing activated body cameras at the time of the shooting.
A crowd began to gather at the crash scene later in the afternoon. Just after 6 p.m., protesters tore down crime scene tape, with the crowd and the victim's family demanding answers from law enforcement.

Allegedly the police threatened the army lieutenant (who got pulled over) to never speak of the incident or they will ruin his military career.
Million dollar law suit filed as a result.

This all ends where police use of force becomes an outmoded concept. Too many people too willing to test the boundaries of suicide by cop, and a culture fully engorged at the prospect of pronouncing every suicide by cop to be our most important systemic societal evil.

Austin has about 60 vacancies right now, with more coming. Even though musicians are now able to play some live gigs, security is becoming a horrible problem.
Cops are not responding to calls in a timely manner, either through too few officers or too much don't -give-a- damn. Nowdays, they mostly call the ambulances and write up the report.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I am sure Ax has thought through his trolling and is deeply concerned about the dead black people that will result from the pop culture ideas he throws around.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I am still reserving judgment, waiting for more investigation and more information to come to light.
