  1. "Necrobumb", what you bumped earlier was older and weaker than what I bumped. You are a true hypocrite.

  3. I like how you didn't dispute the fact the you are guilty of what you accused me of doing, which is, "necro bumping" threads. In fact, when it comes to "necro bumping", I would be willing to say that you have done more necro bumps than anyone else here in this forum.

    Top notch hypocritical behavior. Now please, counter with some old tired and worn out gif.

    Minneapolis protesters threaten reporter for approaching George Floyd 'autonomous zone'
    'You're going to be in a bad situation in a second,' masked man tells reporter

    A reporter this week was threatened by a pair of protesters who have helped turn the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis into a police-free, autonomous zone.

    "You're going to be in a bad situation in a second," a masked protester told NewsNation's Brian Entin on on Tuesday, as he reported from the other side of the zone's poorly constructed barricade.

    "You're being called out for what you are, and you need to get out of here," the protester said. "You need to get in your car and go."

    "We're just media," Entin said.

    "I don't give a f*** who you are ... You need to get in your car and go," the man said, as another protester stood by him, also making threatening comments.

    The tense exchange took place in broad daylight, and Entin turned and left with his camera operator.



    While mainstream media correspondents frequently comment on what they deem unacceptable anti-press rhetoric from the right, actual threats and acts of violence from the left against journalists often draw comparatively little attention. Entin's encounter was not mentioned in this week's newsletters from CNN's "Reliable Sources" team.

    Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody in May set off nationwide protests and civic unrest. The murder trial for former officer Derek Chauvin began this week; he was taped pressing his knee into Floyd's neck for nine minutes on May 25.

    LOL

    Two white punks chase off the cameraman, and later the black lady interviewed says that people who support the Floyd memorial can't even get there.

    'Cause racism.

    Court rules that Minneapolis must hire 730 police officers immediately. Smacks the "Defund the Police" council members for their stupidity and ignorance of their responsibilities.

    Residents trying to defend their homes and lives in a lawless environment greatly cheer the ruling.


    Minnesota Supreme Court denies Minneapolis' appeal on ruling requiring it to hire more police officers
    Minneapolis requested appeal of judge's ruling to hire more officers.

    The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday denied Minneapolis' request to hear an emergency appeal on a court ruling that required the city to hire more police officers.

    In a one-page order, Chief Justice Lorie Gildea said the court was denying the city's request for "accelerated review," a move that would have allowed the case to take the unusual step of bypassing the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The order did not elaborate on the court's rationale. Minneapolis officials had argued that a Hennepin County judge overstepped her bounds in ordering the city to hire at least 730 officers, and residents deserved clarity on the court case before they head to the polls in November to decide the future of the city's Police Department.

    Lawyers for the group of North Side residents and activists who brought the case opposed the request. They argued that the judge's order was appropriate and it would have no impact on the "clear-cut" proposal that will appear before voters this fall.

    The court's denial doesn't necessarily signal an end to the court battle. The city could still challenge the order in Minnesota's Court of Appeals if officials decide to take that route.

    City spokesman Casper Hill said Tuesday night that the city is disappointed and "reviewing how best to proceed as we continue to pursue the appeal in the Court of Appeals." Minneapolis' minimum police staffing requirements have become a key issue in debates about how to transform public safety and in the November elections, when the future of the Police Department, the mayor's office and all 13 City Council seats will be on the ballot for the first time since George Floyd's murder by an officer.

    The city's charter, which serves as its constitution, requires Minneapolis to fund a police force with a minimum size based on population. One question placed before voters this November will ask residents whether they want to keep that requirement or eliminate it, a move that could allow city officials to dramatically reduce the size of the force.

    The Minneapolis City Attorney's Office had asked the state's high court to hear the case. Attorneys for the North Side residents and activists who brought the lawsuit opposed the request.

    In early July, Hennepin County Judge Jamie Anderson issued an order largely siding with the residents. Saying the city has a responsibility to keep up with new population figures, Anderson gave the city until June 30, 2022, to fund a police force with at least 730 officers — or a higher number if new census numbers are released and warrant it.

    She arrived at that number using 2019 population estimates, a number she used because attorneys for both the city and residents had previously agreed they were accurate.

  10. Extremism on any side is extreme fucktardedness. When the Right let the Steve Bannon crew take over and kept quiet they had to eat trump shit for 4 years (except cruz.. he likes it). When the left let the extreme BLM and defund the police people have all the voice they sat on their hands and did nothing.

    Tale as old as time... extreme left and right are also fro teh weak minded and easily cucked.
