2020 Protests megathread

[Tender Branson]

Large parts of the US now resemble a failed state like Somalia, Afghanistan or Yemen ...

Bizarre how on one side of the US you have people torching cities over the murder of a black man, and on the other side an America that just successfully lifted a manned rocket into space.

And in between an event that killed 100.000+ Americans.

Everything like 50 years ago !

Don't forget we're on the verge of electing another Catholic Democrat, too!

Joe Robinette Nixon ?

I love how you guys post about police being "out of control". If anyone ever knew real cops, you'd know they're using enormous restraint.

I agree with Mike.

Even though there are some black sheep in the police force, 99.99% are doing an awesome job and risk a lot, if not their lives on a daily basis:

Police work should be valued more and not just being attacked when there are some dark moments.

Lol the number is MUCH lower than 99.99%.

OK, I give you the 0.1%

But 99.9% of police officers are decent folks who happen to be under enormous pressure during some tasks every day (I'm not too shocked at how some react, considering how many crazy people are around on the streets and at home in the US ...)

I only know one thing for sure, be it rural Austria or rural USA:

Voters there don't like the looting (or in our case 2015-16: foreign "refugees" groping women on the street or turning whole streets into trash by walking through the country into Germany).

If they see pictures like this, they react allergically to it and wanna go out themselves and show these punks where their place is ...

I wouldn't be totally surprised if Trump can capitalize on these lootings by running up the margin again in rural/suburb areas.

But we'll have to wait and see.

[Tender Branson]

Show no mercy for these looting thugs !

Round them up one-by-one, until they get it.

One if from a failed state, the other is from Iraq.

Maybe in Austria they're all perfect. It's more like 50/50 here.

No, we also have police brutality.

But not on a frequent level. Maybe a case or two every few years.

And in the US, it's certainly not 50-50. It's more the fact that in the US, the few cases of police brutality are much worse because of the much higher number of crazy people and people who are willing to use force against the police if detained, instead of complying with their orders.

[Tender Branson]

The people protesting and looting in the US cities + the police should go home now and take a chill (pill).

Black men will at times get killed again by a crazy white police officer, while 99.9% of other white police officers are not killing one ...

You cannot change this by trashing shops or whatever. You can only change it by better psychological help for people in need, a good healthcare system, a declining wealth gap and by a demilitarization of the society and police.

[Tender Branson]

Tender derailing a thread to parrot his warped views from rural Austria again...

The thing is that I’m usually pretty right about those kinds of things.

If both sides don’t de-escalate quickly, the chances for Trump 2.0 are rising exponentially over the coming months.

Huge Black Lives Matter protest in Vienna right now.

More than 10.000 people (who are 99% white).







Even police cars say „Black Lives Matter“:

Incredible how few Black people there are even in Vienna, a city of 2 million.

But still good to see that so many light-skinned Austrians are protesting for the cause of Blacks.

[Tender Branson]

Id love to see Europe acting like this about the Gypsies.

In fact, there were mass protests and change of laws here in Austria after a radical-right terrorist killed several Roma with pipe bombs in the 1990s.

Franz Fuchs, a highly intelligent loner, eventually blew his own hands off when he was about to be arrested after a dragnet investigation and later still managed to hang himself in his prison cell without his hands ...

The "Black Lives Matter/anti-police-brutality" protest crowd in Vienna has now surged to around 50.000 to 60.000 people:
