God and Guns. God and Guns.

i fail to see what the intended message is

Nope. As stated, as individuals mostly terrific people. As an institution not so much.

And pointing to Minneapolis as equally troubled (or worse) does nothing g to change the individual merits or deficiencies aforementioned.

But, you seem to like the other kids do it too argument.

As for Minneapolis, "others do it too," I don't really know, but perhaps the greater segregation of communities in the North than the South these days makes it even more difficult to overcome the attitudes and actions of cops. But, it wasn't really an "others do it too" comment, because if Minneapolis had made as many changes in police departments as metropolitan Southern departments have in the last 75 years since Humphrey was a mayor, I don't know that we'd be seeing riots there on our TVs.

New York Times reporting that the "publicity stunt" was engineered by Hope Hicks.

All. The. Best. People.

I can only imagine the shitstorm if Obama stood in front of a church holding the bible upside down and backwards.

Maybe Trump was reciting "Two Corinthians"?

Two Corinthians walk into a bar...

Piece. Of. Shit.

STFU, your wife is ugly.

What has happened in the last few days ( well years but... ) is unacceptable and is rooted in the person 'leading' our country.
You could see this coming - he is the worst president in US history.

Not Nice.

what in the absolute fuck

[pdub]

Yup.
There will be no direct consequences but certainly more anger.

i’m at a loss

do the cops think that somehow doing that is good for the situation?

if good cops aren’t going to police bad cops, i don’t care what else happens...nothing will rally change, and we’ll just rinse and repeat the outrage and carnage again down the road

I'm not sure what happened before but judging from the video, it's despicable and the opposite of what this country is about.

Pride in speech. Freedom to protest.

Based on the fact that there are riots across the country, in the south, north, east, and west, this isn't an issue of how progressive police departments have been. You are probably right, though, Minneapolis might not be getting national coverage of it's riots if they were going on right now, and this had occurred, in some far away city.

The south, by many reports, is by far the worst place to work as a police officer.

Where were the people with the AR-15s to fight back?
That's next on the horizon.
