I'll bet none of them know who Justine Diamond was

@1 -- Probably true, because the incidents are completely different. Accidents happen. Sometimes cops freak out, especially bad cops, and shoot people. That is completely different than suffocating a man while he gasps for air, and says “I can’t breathe”.

I wonder if the person who burned the cop car was a right wing nationalist, or your run of the mill anarchist. Ten to one he wasn't black.

Hey, thanks for pulling the weekend duty, Rich. I'm glad I don't have to wait until Monday to read the news from The Stranger.

A man was shot several times while standing on a bridge. He fell to his death.

"Yeah, but he didn't die of gunshot wounds!", says the goose.

Holy shit, dude, the guy died because the cop kneeled on his neck. The details on how he actually died doesn't matter.

Why would you take a pet rabbit to a protest? That's just cruel.

"Chauvin's actions may have been reprehensible, but if they were unrelated to Floyd's death, then no murder."

Yeah, no shit. Except that they are related to Floyd's death. They were the main cause. You are grasping at straws, and trying to guess what a jury will say.

The point is, you haven't proven shit. All you've come up with a possible plan that the defense team might use. Whether it actually works or not is impossible to tell at this point. There is a reason why the cop is still in jail, awaiting prosecution. If this in any way proved his innocence, he would be released.

Are the people who were protesting covid closures also downtown protesting the curfew? Seems like a violation of civil liberties to me.

@17: Or their kids!

Kshama Sawant blames the downtown business Illuminati for the violence.

Dateline Chicago, late afternoon, Friday, 5/29:
Mayor Lori Lightfoot was asked if there was anything she would like to say to President Donald Trump? -
“I will encode what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words: It begins with ‘F’ and it ends with ‘U.’”

@22 you would imply the peaceful protest should be cancelled after weeks of bitching about your constitutional right to assemble being violated

Ken, you are the most bottom-feeding bottom-feeder of all the things that feed on the bottom. Go ask a cop to kneel on YOUR neck for nine or ten minutes and then get back to us when your heart fails. Hint: nobody will fucking miss your sorry, pathetic, insensitive white ass.

@13 -- is it called duck- or goose-stepping?

I frequented Seattle from 85-05 and especially in the mid 90's with my 7 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter. Pacific Science Center, Space Needle, Pike's Place with all the eccentric little stores. We'd ride the ferry to Bainbridge at dusk so that we could come back across while the city was all lit up with Mt. Rainier behind it. Such beauty and great memories!

Now watching some poor 10 yr old girl scream as milk is poured over her face because her profoundly inept parents thought bringing her to an uncontrolled riot is the proper education and experience she needs.

So sorry for those who knew and loved Seattle.

My condolences.

@28 " I never bitched about the order."

"How Dare I question the Govener's reluctance to address the Big Questions like when people can go back to work. He will tell us in his own good time. I love people's livelihood being a guessing game in Inslee's multiple weekly campaign, oh sorry, Cronavirus press conferences"

"Any mention of lifting restrictions, like on June 1st? No? Or did I miss that part? Not important I suppose. Still, a lot of unemployed people are just curious.

Piecemealing his decisions with no reference to important ones is like he's stretching out these press conferences into his reelection campaign. Guess he learned something Trump."

"I guess the slippery slope people were right. The City has plains in their records to close 130 miles of streets. I'm not completely against the idea but only on a case by case basis with Public input. These Draconian measures imposed go against a Democratic process, and are taking advantage of our current Pandemic to skip due process by a small handful of people in power."

"Once the public saw State, County, City and Sound Transit with their Union Construction Workers (major contributers to the Inslee Campaign) continue working and get paychecks while everyone else including the undocumented workers were told to go home and watch, well, Jay had to reevaluate.

Corruption In Real Time! Only if you can see it."

I'll wait for the hand wringing to begin again in earnest. I mean where are all of the white people so eager to tell black people how to deal with their anger about their constantly being murdered by cops?

The only language White America understands is violence. And when black people are pushed to point of turning that language back on White America in frustration, white people take it upon themselves to co-opt that and use it to further vilify and harm black people.

White supremacy groups are hoping to leverage George Floyd's death into their longed-for 'race war'

In multiple instances, there have been incidents that seemed to spring up on the periphery of peaceful protests, leading to violent confrontations and property destruction. And increasingly, there are reports that these events are not originating organically from the protests or from confrontations between protesters and the police. There is a very real feeling that white supremacists are using this moment to create incidents designed to justify still more violence and suppression.

@30 What other large city would you suggest to go to right now that is not Seattle and doesn't feature a curfew? They're all closed down, bro. This has nothing to do with Seattle. I remember going to LA as a kid and being able to run wild in the hotel's pool area before heading off to Disneyland for the day. What happened to LA? Oh, that. I really used to love it there.

Wow xina, you state "The only language white America understands is violence" and then link to an article saying that white supremacists want a race war.

Apparently, your wish pairs well with their commands.

The Daily Kos is conflating white anarchists with white supremacists.

Raindrop, what the fuck do you not get out of that story? The dude was firing arrows into a crowd. I saw no conflation going on. He did it for himself as emboldened as he may feel and not for the greater good of trying to establish that people are pissed and we need change or at least a return to nominal. He wanted trophies. That is the real problem with the right. They (maybe you) want to show something for your acts of cruelty on top of a prior cruelty. Nothing can forgive what happened downtown today, but I 95% guarantee it was right wing inciters and then the youngish herd joined in. You seem learned so I know you probably know this is a common tactic of the right and always has been. The left is not organized and if one day it became so it would cease being so. "Antifa" has no leaders or networked innards. It should be the right wingers' dream. None of this helps out the left. Those "in the know" know fucking shit up doesn't help at all. This is all on the right and the leaders you hold in, I guess, high regard.

Yeah that white cop that pretended to be a protester, he's a real anarchist. The cognitive dissonance in this place is deafening.

@34 Thanks for agreeing. It was 10 years after my first visit to Disneyland that one price admission meant that we didn't have to buy the cheapest ride package with 2 E tickets. I was in both cities 50 years ago and have been in every west coastal town since. I cannot think of any friend who wouldn't agree that Seattle is a gem that far outshined LA back then or even now. I grew up with Yosemite in my back yard and on the list of most beautiful places I have ever been, I'd put the Emerald City fairly close behind it and definitely the first city on there. Beats Barcelona in my book. Comparing it to the other decaying cities in the US doesn't soften the blow. I hope it gets better someday. Bonus if it is during my lifetime.

@37: I was referring to the last dailykos link @32. Yeah, he could be a white supremacist or just otherwise criminally insane.

In the last link, the white cop was in the wrong shoving that bicycle. But nothing to indicate that he's a white supremacist. He could have just lost his temper.

Also "WHITES with walkie talkies" doesn't make the case.

The only thing that is makes the Daily Kos case is that weird childhood militia clip.

Being a white supremacist is a horrible thing, that's why we need more to go on than innuendos in sloppy journalism.

@32 xina & @33 kristofarian for the tied WIN.
This is just insanity at its most devastating.

"6:58 p.m.: In a press conference Saturday evening, Durkan praised peaceful demonstrators and condemned "the people who came down to Seattle" and allegedly "hijacked" the protest when it "quickly turned violent and destructive" later in the afternoon."

This seems to be propaganda used by mayors around the country to excuse police violence and lack of accountability.

Blame outside instigators, white leftists, AntiFa, anarchists, people outside our state borders, Soros, Trump. Claim to support "peaceful protest" ONLY, while wanting to crackdown on the "non civilized protesters" The paternalistic use of “outside agitator” is doing some impossibly heavy lifting to mask your terror of black people.
One way the system justifies violent repression of it's citizens is by suggesting that anything the system doesn't approve of is being "trafficked"/brought over by an unseeable/foreign enemy.

This is Federal Prosecutor Durkan at her finest. Once a cop, always a cop. Don't forget that she is a product of this system that allows the police to target black people for committing the crime of being black in public.

xina @32; i read where it wasn’t that policeman, he was accounted for elsewhere.
The vehemence, the rage is understandable, and yes it plays into trump’s hands, cause then he can send his military police in, and turn the screws.

What a waste of time and space. The only way these would've been effective protests is if they didn't result in the destruction of public or private property and turn into a riot. These people could've accomplished so much more by just sitting down on 5th or 6th avenue or I5 en masse and not moving, for days. Now all anyone is going to remember about any of these protests is burning cars. How stupid.

"Now all anyone is going to remember about any of these protests is burning cars."

What utter nonsense. When people think of the '68 riots, do they simply think of the damage and destruction caused, or do they consider the life of the slain civil rights that precipitated said damage? Or the LA riots of '92. People remember Rodney King well, and panned though it may have been at the time, his "Can't we all just get along?" plea remains resonant. I'm mostly in disagreement with the protests, but also have a hard time mustering up much sympathy for a bunch of broken windows following a man's cold murder in broad daylight.

If nothing else, I'm hopeful that the next time a cop pins a helpless civilian down on the ground in an effort to subdue him/her, this atrocity causes them to consider their actions and the potential consequences they may have.

Seems pretty obvious to me the chain of events here...
We had the Ahmaud Arbery video which seemed to show an extrajudicial killing of a black man, followed by the Coopers video which depicted a racist white woman attempting to weaponize the police on her behalf, followed by the George Floyd video demonstrating how white weaponization of police power is to be carried out.
People have very understandably reacted furiously to this.
All of this phony indignation at the mayor and SJW's, the tsk-tsking of the methods employed to protest, is rather beside the point.

@52 -- How much does a duckfart weigh?

The parents that brought their kid got exactly what they wanted.

@53 kristofarian, bingo. Time for folks to stop "debating" this clown - he's an openly racist troll.

Trolls attempt to draw the focus and discussion into semantics and logic corners - they will forever keep harping on increasingly irrelevant points and absurd lines of reasoning to draw you into beside-the-point discussions intended to confuse and redirect. You can spend a great amount of time and words debating with them, and they will remain obtuse to literally anything you have to say.

@50: "have a hard time mustering up much sympathy for a bunch of broken windows following a man's cold murder in broad daylight."

To project that broken windows in Seattle are an atonement for murder of George Floyd in Milwaukee is immoral as well as illogical.

@54 -- Classic Projection.

@56 -- Bingo, also.

Meh.

The new trolls always hit SLOG on the weekends. And by new, I mean new in name only. Same shit, different trolls. The ever present, well known trolls are also as predictable as a daily shit.

The rest of the people here just have to carry on and ignore them. The Stranger supports them and stokes them and apparently would be worthless without them (otherwise why allow them to do what they do)?

Police arrest journalists, but they protect the journalists' offices.

Racists complain that Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem in protest is disrespectful and unacceptable, but they claim that a cop kneeling on a defenseless man's neck is acceptable.

Nazi's that protest with guns, threatening lawmakers and law enforcement are allowed to flout any law they want to, but black protesters demanding justice for the murder of defenseless people are gassed and shot with rubber bullets.

A "president" calls for his supporters to violently "liberate" States controlled by the opposition party, and that same man calls for violence against those that protest against him and calls for the murder of those that destroy property.

Not allowing change to occur peacefully has made violence inevitable.

This isn't a riot, it's the beginning of a Revolution.

The Nazis that have been calling for a second Civil War are suddenly surprised when it starts, and they cower in fear when they see how outnumbered they are.

When you tell people that their lives are worth less than property don't be surprised when they decide your life is worthless too.

@62 Adam, very eloquently said.

I find ANTIFA to be a group noble in purpose but prone to be populated by misguided idealists with bad manners, nevertheless it is disturbing that the president just tweeted:

We embrace that responsibility and are committed to continuing the important work to address these systemic issues together with our players, clubs and partners."

Really Goodell!! Your ongoing commitment and your ongoing efforts? Your commitment to the important work to address these systemic issues together with our players, clubs and partners!?!?

Let me refresh your short memory and anyone else who has been living under a rock. You had a true spokesman on this topic and you banished him from your sport altogether for taking a fucking knee for the national anthem. That individual is Colin Kaepernick.

We've tried those police suggested tactics ( pay cops more, attract more minority recruits, and improve the culture to alleviate the distrust. ) for over 2 decades and it has gotten us nowhere. In fact, Minneapolis was a model for such training.

From the NYT:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/30/opinion/george-floyd-police-funding.html

More training or diversity among police officers won’t end police brutality, nor will firing and charging individual officers. Look at the Minneapolis Police Department, which is held up as a model of progressive police reform. The department offers procedural justice as well as trainings for implicit bias, mindfulness and de-escalation. It embraces community policing and officer diversity, bans “warrior style” policing, uses body cameras, implemented an early intervention system to identify problematic officers, receives training around mental health crisis intervention, and practices “reconciliation” efforts in communities of color.

And what is the record for Minneapolis police during all this in addition to the most recent Floyd case?
1. In 2016, Saint Anthony, Minnesota[1] Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez shot and killed Philando Castile during a traffic stop. He was tried and acquitted of manslaughter in the death. Yanez was a white Hispanic officer, while Castile was black.

In 2017, Justine Diamond was shot and killed by Mohammed Noor, Minneapolis Police officer. Noor was tried and convicted of third-degree murder and sentenced to 12-1/2 years in prison. Noor was black, Diamond was white.

The police seen desperate to change the topic from defunding the police and fewer officers. Their single minded aversion to this only confirms that it may be the one thing able to modify their behavior.

There are a lot of people protesting in downtown Bellevue right now. Continued low interest rates on savings accounts have sparked intense discontent, and the financially-responsible protestors have been gassed because the stingy banks don't want to pay higher rates, but want deposits for practically nothing. What a scandal!

Have they tipped over any Banks?
Keep us posted.

It amazes me how many businesses were destroyed by people who didn't even run hedge funds.

After six days, any protests at this point are gratuitous.

Ah yes there is always a concern troll who brings up "black on black" crime (ignoring two very salient facts: why it exists and (more importantly) why it has absolutely NOTHING to do with cops killing black people).

White supremacist terrorism and its systemic violence against black people (and brown people and all other non-white people) from birth to death in this country is the root cause of all of the violence.

There are is also an immense amount of work being done in black communities to stop violence in those communities, but that is never acknowledged or discussed by white people because they simply do not care. Who gives a shit that black people are trying to stop black people from killing black people?

Most white people are killed by white people and there is never any hand wringing about white on white crime. In fact, white people who murder white people are simply regarded as anomalies and/or loners.

Why We Never Talk About Black-on-Black Crime: An Answer to White America’s Most Pressing Question

Both sociologists and criminologists agree that violent crime is a complex socioeconomic phenomenon. Generally speaking, research shows that poor people commit the most crime: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, during the period from 2008 through 2012, “persons in poor households at or below the federal poverty level (FPL) (39.8 per 1,000) had more than double the rate of violent victimization as persons in high-income households (16.9 per 1,000) ... The overall pattern of poor persons having the highest rates of violent victimization was consistent for both whites and blacks.”

Knowing this, the small difference in crime rates can easily be explained by income disparity. Maybe the question should be why are such a large percentage of black people poor?

As a matter of fact, if we are going to derail a conversation about black lives to talk about black-on-black crime, there are a few other questions we should answer first:

Why is the rate of violence actually higher among poor, urban whites? Why don’t we ever discuss the economic impact of redlining and segregation on rates of violence?

If we are going to discuss the number of black people killed by blacks, should we discuss the number of white people murdered, raped and assaulted by fellow whites? Will this conversation include a debate about how blacks are arrested, incarcerated and sentenced for longer periods than whites for committing the same crimes?

Are you willing to detour into a brief explanation of why schools with large percentages of blacks are underfunded even though they have the same tax base and incomes? Do you have time to talk about the wage gap? Unemployment disparities?

All of these factors contribute to crime rates. So if you want to have a conversation about black-on-black crime, you should be careful, because, like most conversations about race, it will end up back in the same place:

White supremacy.

‘Black-On-Black Crime’ Is A Myth, And Here’s Why

Whenever black people try to talk about police brutality, it is inevitable that a white person will come in and say, “But what about black-on-black crime?” — as if members of a community killing each other negates the fact that police officers are killing unarmed members of the communities they’re paid to serve and protect. One has nothing to do with the other.

The real threat in this country has always been white men who are a product of the white supremacist patriarchy that we are still operating under, so why don’t y’all channel that misplaced worry into collecting your people? That would make us all safer.

https://www.scarymommy.com/black-on-black-crime-is-myth/

Why “black-on-black crime” isn’t a valid argument against criticizing police brutality

Black people care just as much about racial disparities in policing as they do violence within their communities. And violence within their communities is too often tied to structural inequalities that racist policing perpetuates.

Violence within black communities and the overpolicing of black people are linked. But if an honest conversation is going to be had about either topic, especially in light of the latest officer-involved fatal shootings of black people, it needs to based on the fact that "black-on-black crime" is not simply black people's making.
