B-Man Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Right now, outside the White House Also, BLM protesters are blocking traffic on I-40 into Memphis. Also: RIOTERS INJURE 21 POLICEMEN IN ST. PAUL Hundreds of Black Limes Matter rioters shut down Highway 94, a major interstate that connects Minneapolis and St. Paul, for several hours last night. The rioters bombarded police with chunks of concrete, pieces of rebar and other hard objects, injuring 21 police officers. One policeman suffered a broken vertebrae when a concrete block was dropped on his head from above. Around 100 rioters were arrested. St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell was outraged: “This is the first time in my 28 years we have observed this level of violence toward our public servants,” Axtell said. “It’s really a disgrace.” The chief said the protesters “turned into criminals. I am absolutely disgusted, [and] I am not going to tolerate it. . Edited July 11, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Can someone explain to me how a cop can racially profile a person driving a car? Seriously, I can't even tell who's driving until I'm next to someone. Most of the time, you can't even see because of the window tint unless you look through the rear-view mirror. You'd make a bad cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If the DOJ had any balls they'd Rico charge the BLM movement and seek money for shutting down the interstates. The individual states sure as hell should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The individual states sure as hell should. Let's get real. Our DOJ is so corrupt, the more likely outcome is if the state's attempted that, the federal DOJ would sue the individual state's to get them to stop. This is all a part of their plan.

She was one of the people who were protesting on the highway illegally and blocking traffic. Of course the "man" bringing them in was putting them in imminent danger and as such they are brave, brave souls. I, as a white person just don't understand the brutality they face. She looks quite dressed up too. If this weren't staged for photographs like this, knowing they would get arrested illegally blocking traffic, then I don't know what propaganda is.

B-Man Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The photograph was taken outside the Baton Rouge police headquarters, where most of Saturday's protest was focused. "The police were called out to clear Airline Highway where demonstrators had blocked the road... They managed to get most of the protesters off to the side," Bachman (the Photographer) told the BBC via email. "I was on the side of the road photographing protesters arguing with police. "I looked over my right shoulder and saw the woman step onto the road. She was making her stand. She said nothing and was not moving. It was clear that the police were going to have to detain her. It was nothing like tiananmen square It was more like this.............. She certainly doesn’t look like she’s particularly concerned that they’re suddenly going to shoot her for no reason at all...... as the "narrative" goes. But now the media has a picture that they can use to replace all the "scary" photos, like I posted earlier. And to put that into even greater perspective ...

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Pretext road stops, thank God I only have to deal w/it once every two years. It would suck having to deal w/it on a weekly or even a monthly basis. Some people probably never deal w/it or just pay up w/out ever getting mouthy. Cost of doing business for having skin in the game? Why do some stand for it? Because it drops a dookie on somebody else? Gotta be like Arlo: "I dont want a pickle I just want to ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want a tickle Id rather ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want to die I just want to ride on my motor-cy-cle You know its been about 12 years now, that Ive been singin this dumb song You know its amazin, its amazin that somebody can get away with singin a song this dumb for that long But you know, hey you know whats more amazin than that is that , uh somebody can make a livin singin a song this dumb But thats America. You know I told everything there was to tell about it When I wrote it, how come, why, what for But you know the one thing, that I always used to neglect to explain, was the significance of the pickle There was a time I was ridin my bike I was going down a mountain road I was doin 150 miles an hour On one side of the mountain road there was a mountain And on the other side, there was nothin There was just a cliff in the air But I wasnt payin attention you know I was just driving down the road All of a sudden by accident A string broke off my guitar It broke you know right there Went flying across the road that way Wrapped itself around a yield sign Well the sign didnt break It didnt come out the ground And the string stayed wrapped around it Stayed in the other end of my guitar Held onto my guitar with one hand I held onto the bike with the other I made a sharp turn off the road Luckily I didnt go into the mountain I went over the cliff I was doin 150 miles an hour sideways And 500 feet down at the same time Hey, I was lookin for the cops Cuz you know Hey I knew that it, it was illegal Well, I knew that that was it I knew I didnt have long to live in this world And in my last remaining seconds in the world I knew it was my obligation to write one last farewell song to the world Took out a piece of paper I pulled out a pen And it didnt write I, I had to put another ink cartridge in it I sat back and I thought a while And it come to me It come like a flash Like a vision burnt across the clouds I just wrote it down I learnt it right away I dont want a pickle Just want to ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want a tickle Id rather ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want to die I just want to ride on my motor-cy-cle Hey, I, you know I knew it wasnt the best song I ever wrote But I didnt have time to change it But you know the most amazin thing was that I didnt die I landed on the top of a police car.and it died I come into town, I come into town at a screamin 175 miles an hour Singing my new motorcycle song I stopped out front of the deli And out in front of the deli was a man eating the most tremendous pickle A pickle the size of four pregnant watermelons Just a huge monster pickle He walked up to me, pushed the pickle in my face and started asking me questions It was about the same time I noticed the pickle in my face I noticed a cord hangin from the long end of the pickle Goin up his sleeve down his shirt, into his pants and shoes Out into a briefcase he had near his feet I knew it wasnt an ordinary pickle But it was about the same time I noticed the cord hangin out of the pickle That a four foot cop arrived with a five foot gun A cop that one time musta been around six foot three But was met at the bottom of a mountain By a flyin, singin writin weirdo freak He walked up and with one tremendous hand He grabbed the pickle away from the other guy He threw it, a hundred feet, straight up in the air And while the pickle was half way between going up and coming down He took out his gun and put a three inch bullet hole Right through the long end of the pickle It started comin back down He stuck out his foot He caught the pickle on his big toe And balancing the pickle on his big toe He reached his huge hand into his little pocket Pulled out a 10 foot ticket He borrowed my pen He wrote it up Then he rolled it up And stuffed it in the bullet hole in the middle of the pickle Took the pickle with the ticket And shoved it down my throat It was at that very moment that the pickle with the ticket was goin down my throat That I knew for sure that, that I didnt want a pickle I dont want a pickle Just want to ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want a tickle Id rather ride on my motor-cicle And I dont want to die Just want to ride on my motor-cy-cle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
