I have a lot of thoughts on this that are not suitable for any sort of public record.
I will say that anyone who ever uttered a negative word about Colin Kaepernick and his medium of protest should shut the fuck up for the rest of time. Because nothing you say should ever be taken seriously. 5/28/2020 11:48:59 PM |

Text messages Most of the text messages in the indictment between Myers, Boone and Hays include expletives. "We really need these f**kers to start acting u(p) so we can have some fun," Boone texted, after they determined they were going to be on the same team. "A lot of cops getting hurt, but it's still a blast beating people that deserve it," said another text from Boone. He also remarked that he would be working with a black officer and referred to him as "a thug that's on our side."

So i think the police should be tar and feathered after watching that video and they have been arrested. Despicable people. But how does that mean you should burn down your local autozone. One of these jokers are going to wake up in the morning today. Car wont start. Needs a distributor cap and says “damn i wish i didnt burn down that Autozone”

I'm done defending cops. I can hide behind white privilege because I'll probably never have to worry about being physically harmed by a cop, but I have had experiences with them where complaints were warranted. I've been pulled over and the questions that were asked were not appropriate. I didn't file a complaint, but if I did, what's the point. They don't care. They all watch out for their own. 5/29/2020 10:09:50 AM |

^^ yup.
Also, ^^^ people bitch about peaceful protests all the fucking time (Kaepernick) so it’s not a matter of “if you would protest better, then you would help your cause” because that ain’t what’s happened.
Cops also arrested cnn reporters live on air for no apparent reason. this shit is insane.

They were released after it was revealed that they were media members. Which begs multiple questions/observations.
1) they weren’t asked for their credentials while being arrested...why? (They were also very obviously media members but whatever) 2) still doesn’t answer why they were arrested to begin with 3) what would’ve been the outcome had they not been media members? They would’ve remained in custody for no clear reason? 5/29/2020 10:34:43 AM |

We're all adults. It's fine to ask questions but you should at the very least attempt to Google the subject first. Not many of us are investigative reporters so likely when you ask someone, you're just asking them to search for you. Synapse seems to imply he read reports, prob the only issue with his post is he needs more specific questions. If he read reports what does he need broken down? 5/29/2020 11:09:34 AM |

I think the police have disputed it but a guy's ex claimed to recognize him over the mask. Prob not being reported bc people feel its speculation?

I think some people use umbrellas to block tear gas canisters and pepper spray. It's not a wild leap to say he was like an anarchist or antifa that didn't want to be on camera. I struggle with the idea that someone could be recognized just by their eyes like that, but who knows. Regardless at a minimum the guy didn't seem like part of the "community"
