The Police Thread

I just read some soccer player got kicked off his team for what HIS WIFE said on Instagram.

That's nuts.

L.A. Galaxy part ways with player whose wife made offensive Instagram posts

The Los Angeles Galaxy "mutually agreed to part ways" with midfielder Aleksandar Katai on Friday after the MLS club learned that Katai's wife shared "racist and violent" social media posts.

Calling for protesters to be killed is a bit much but captioning a pic of a looter with "black Nikes matter" is kinda funny.
 
His reply is odd to me:
"These views are not ones that I share and are not tolerated in my family," he wrote. "This is a mistake from my family and I take full responsibility. I will ensure that my family and I take the necessary actions to learn, understand, listen and support the black community."

He takes full responsibility for her words?

If the team got rid of him, it sounds like he might have defended her first, got fired, and released the statement to try to get another gig later on.
 
Westworld has riot control robots this season!

If The Don had a fleet of these all his problems would be over in a jiffy.

Look, I know I have some very different opinions about what's going on right now. We all agree that too much force was used with GF, but leading up to it is where we diverge. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. I like I how I can come here and make my dumb, insensitive jokes mixed in with my real thoughts and you guys push back. IDK, just everyone needs to stop acting like a dick. Both cops and pedestrians.

Be nice to other people. How hard is that? Aren't there two whole testaments that when boiled down to it say don't act like a dick? And that's from like a 2,000 years ago.

CNN's Alex Marquadt has been reporting from Washington DC. Today he said there were tens of thousands of protesters in the city – a record number – but they remained peaceful and there is no curfew tonight. So what did the Tweeter-In-Chief have to say?

"Much smaller crowd in D.C. than anticipated. National Guard, Secret Service, and D.C. Police have been doing a fantastic job. Thank you!"

So he thinks the record-setting number of protesters is small but he thought the small number of attendees at his Inauguration was a record-setting high. Go figure!
 
Ya that mayor story was a surprise. Where are all the strapped up fake looking army protesters? You know, the overweight hairy faced white men??? Are they taking a break waiting for the NFL to start so they can watch their favorite teams stacked with black players??
 
This story sounds like something that might have been reported by Ted Baxter on the WJM Six O'Clock News in an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show – but, unfortunately, it's true. Wake me up when the anarchy starts.

Watched this last night.
Oliver usually cuts to the heart of the matter, and this week is no exception.


I need to rewatch the bit about defunding the police.
There seemed like there was some logic to it, but I missed a minute or two and didn't get how it would actually work.

The woman at the end makes a lot of things clear.
 
Ya watched it last night. Rough one. I'm pro police generally, but how cops are trained is varied around the country. It's like coaching basketball. We're all playing the same game but coaches have different methods on instruction. I think what people don't understand is how police institutions strap up more when police are shot at or killed. They alter their protocol based on what's happening to them as well. And with cheap or free gear from the army these guys look like army troops. I think one of the arguments was police show aggression first and spend less time policing an area to defuse events before they get dangerous. I haven't seen an officer smile or laugh with any people round here.
 
Where are the sheriffs these who show such racial harmony as Sheriff Buford T Justice?

Bet you any money Smokey and the Bandit would not have been well received today.
