#cops and the klan go hand-in-hand

terfs pretend to want to protect womens sports while getting cis (mostly Black) women banned from competition because of natural testosterone levels. Republicans pretend to want to protect children while ensuring gun control never passes but forcing kids to travel states away to have abortions and trying to lower the age of consent and marriage and destroying trans kids autonomy over their own bodies and making it illegal for the word gay to even be spoken and

are you a cop?

ok so this is not a golden rule- Cops can and will lie to you, they make and bend their own rules all the time for their own benefit. I'm not perfect; but I don't abuse my spouse 40% of the time, align with white supremacists or enforce poverty so you be the judge

Trent Osborne, one of the protest’s organizers, told Queer KY that the men had driven by the small group of demonstrators on a motorcycle and by car and flipped them off, yelling obscenities. Then they pulled over and approached the group, making clear with hands on their pockets that they were armed.

Osbourne called the men out for threatening the unarmed group with weapons. The men continued to spew hateful language.

“They even proudly proclaimed to be homophobic and racist. At one point the man who later pulled his weapon in the altercation looked at me and said, ‘I’ll burn you and that sign.’”

“After I smacked his hand away, I’ll be honest, I was ready to fight. Then I noticed his hand on his gun.”

The video captures police arriving out of frame, shouting toward the Klan members. Segebart responds in their direction, yelling, “Come take care of these fa***ts, then!”

The cops’ account of the incident and the Klansmen’s identities were obtained by Raw Story through an open records request to the town’s police department.

“Male has gun out,” a police log entry at 2:21 p.m. reads.

“Ruger 9mm,” a subsequent entry states, identifying one of the men’s guns. “Smith and Wesson” reads another a minute later.

“Both males that were there with weapons are 98,” the 2:46 p.m. entry reads, meaning the subjects had been cleared from the scene.

According to Osbourne, police emptied the guns of their bullets, returned them to the men, and told them to leave.

Also cleared from the scene: the demonstrators, who were told by cops their protest couldn’t proceed without a permit.

According to news reports, flyers attributed to the Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have shown up in Corbin and neighboring towns following the June 3 confrontation.

“Parents take control of our schools,” the KKK flyers read. “Remove all filth from school libraries. Two gender policies. End the presence of men in the girlsroom.”

The screed ends with a recruitment pitch: “Parents take your stand. Join the Klan.”

“They wanted to come there and bait us into fighting them,” Osbourne said, “so they could get away with murder.”

i am asking you to elaborate

There have been three interpretations of Superman in DC Comics history. You have the original 1930's Superman created by two Jewish men in response to the global rise of fascism and societal injustice. He represented forward-thinking ideas. In one comic he destroyed neglected residences to force the government to build new housing to take care of their citizens. In his radio show he directly fought the Ku Klux Klan and refuted racist and anti-semitic views. He was akin to a folk hero.

When comics resurged in popularity a few decades later, Superman was no longer in the hands of his original creators and was changed by DC to fit the American ideal. He was a strictly law-abiding citizen. The focus of his stories shifted from societal commentary to Strong Man Punches Villain While Being American. By the 80s, both the public and the comics industry were sick of Superman. The Dark Knight Rises and Watchmen were both written in part as a response to Superman becoming a glorified cop during the Reagan administration.

Now you have modern Superman. He's in between these two interpretations. A liberal. He'll criticize the government and the police but won't go as far to directly oppose them. While an improvement over 80s Superman, he's played safer than 30s Superman. He's sanitized for mass audience appeal.

And there's actually one more version of Superman that's less DC's fault and more the fault of certain fans and the occasional writer (cough Snyder cough). Some believe Superman is a Christ allegory who promotes the idea of humanity needing a savior to guide us to salvation. Considering the context of his origin, you can see how tone deaf and irritating this version is. Jesus Superman is most closely linked to 80s Superman thanks to the crossover in conservative values.

So what happens when you have a character that's been through so many revisions that the fandom is split into parts? You get arguing over what Superman believes and what actions he'd be willing to take. This is how we got to the point where one fan will tell another that their favorite fictional character would think they're problematic.

I opened my sentient dark matter pocket watch and portaled. Algiers Street Oakland March 8th 2:43pm 1962. I was wearing my old 2008 Obama “Hope” sweatshirt. Post-industrial folks don't care what you wear. The 16th and 23rd centuries dangerously different matters. The air was a stew of car exhausts cigarette smoke with background radiations from A-Bomb tests. It was what it was I ain't judging...much. I wandered into a Woolworths.

This being San Francisco it wasn’t segregated. As a lad I got my pencils, and comic books there. Wandered about aisles of mid-century items that in 2024 would be in expensive antique shops. Here it was just the usual dollar store crap.

Saw my treasure. “Fantastic Four” #3. Twelve cents fresh from the printers. I picked up my prize plus some Hershey bars at twice the size, and a first pressing 45rpm copy of the Beatles “I Want to Hold your Hand”. Paid with a 21st century five-dollar bill. I later bought back from Ebay. The Timeline is nothing if not tidy.

Just to make a point. I sat at the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Down South in 1962 doing this might be a death sentence for a Negro. Rogue cops Kluxers everywhere. I ordered hot dog fries, and an orange drink. The main food groups. Tasted as good as I remembered them. Sat watching souls going about their lives. Good eras or harsh 800 B.C. or 2640 folks is folks.

I was in a Woolworths at the height of the American Empire. Told da Klan to bleep themselves had a hot dog and read “Fantastic Four”. What a time we had. I retired to the men’s department. Behind a row of Stetson hats I shifted. Neon shimmer …Poof!

Anatomy of a Scene 

BLACK KLANSMAN

This movie is based on a true story in the early 1970's. Ron Stallworth is the first black police officer in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was initially working in the record room, but he asked to get transferred to work undercover cases. His first mission was to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and expose them. In order to get inside, he partners with his white coworker Flip Zimmerman. Flip signs up to be a member in the klan, and acts racist to get information about what the Klan is planning on doing. On the other hand, Ron has to hide that he's a cop to a girl that he’s interested in. She doesn't like cops, because of the injustice they cause to black people. 

MOONLIGHT

Moonlight centers around Chiron AKA "Little". The movie goes through three stages of his life. First is his childhood. He didn't have a father figure, and his mom was doing drugs, so he had to take care of himself since he was a little boy. He was being bullied in school and was being called names like "faggot." He met Juan who came to know of his home situation. Him and his girlfriend basically became his parent figure. Move on to his teenage years, in high school, He's still getting bullied, and the situation with his mom is getting worse. Juan's death makes things kind of worse for him. He’s also going through some confusion about his sexuality. Fast forward as an adult he’s in the streets and selling drugs. He’s known as “Black” in the streets. He finally forgave his mom.

My favorite scene is when he got beat up badly by his bully, Terrel. Terrel had a dialogue with the friend about an old game they used to play as kids. If he points somebody out Kevin will beat the person up. Terrel chose Chiron. His friend Kevin got pressured to beat him. The reason this scene is so emotional is because he and Kevin have a special relationship. When watching the movie, you could tell Kevin didn’t want to hit Chiron. He kept saying “Chiron stay down” repeatedly, and his facial expressions also showed it. That situation put a rift in their relationship. In the scene Chiron wasn't scared to take the hits, he just kept getting back up. He showed his vulnerability, it was visible in his eyes. The camera work was amazing. The cameras were moving fast, it zoomed in on their faces to show their emotions clearly. The scene was outside in the middle of school, daylight, very bright. It was a dramatic scene because it was fast pacing and intense. It was a very emotional scene; it highlights what some people go through every day and how they deal with it. He has been going through bullying since he was a kid, so it was very satisfying when he stood up for himself, and not backed down.

[ad_1] District of Columbia Lawyer Basic Karl Racine introduced on Tuesday that the District of Columbia is suing the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for damages from the Jan. 6 assault at the U.S. Capitol. Alex Wong/Getty Photographs disguise caption toggle caption Alex Wong/Getty Photographs District of Columbia Lawyer Basic Karl Racine introduced on Tuesday that the District of Columbia is suing the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for damages from the Jan. 6 assault at the U.S. Capitol. Alex Wong/Getty Photographs The District of Columbia is suing two far-right teams, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, for allegedly conspiring to terrorize the town with the violent assault at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The civil lawsuit was once filed by way of the district's lawyer normal, Karl Racine, in federal courtroom in Washington, D.C. It accuses the 2 teams, their leaders and greater than two dozen suspected individuals of coordinating and plotting violence on Jan. 6 to disrupt the non violent switch of energy. "Within the criticism, we particularly allege that those vigilantes, insurrectionists and masters of a lawless mob conspired towards the District of Columbia, its regulation enforcement officials and citizens by way of making plans, selling and taking part within the violent assault on america Capitol," Racine informed journalists on Tuesday. "Our personal voters had been hellbent on destroying the freedoms and beliefs on which our nation was once based and continues to aspire to succeed in," he added. Racine known as Jan. 6 a "brazen, violent and fatal assault that traumatized this town, this neighborhood, and our nation." The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers already are dealing with civil complaints stemming from the occasions of Jan. 6 — one filed by way of individuals of Congress, every other by way of cops. Like in the ones instances, the teams are accused within the district's civil go well with of violating the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, a regulation that was once handed after the Civil Battle to check out to give protection to Black voters from violence and intimidation. Along with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, the most recent lawsuit names the crowd's leaders — Henry "Enrique" Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes, respectively — as defendants, in addition to a number of suspected individuals of the 2 organizations who're dealing with prison fees in reference to Jan. 6. The criticism says that once former President Donald Trump's election loss, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers started running in combination "to plan, publicize, recruit for, and finance their deliberate assault." That making plans and coordination got here in combination, the criticism says, on Jan. 6 when the defendants and different rioters bashed their manner via police traces and compelled their manner into the Capitol. In doing so, the lawsuit says, the rioters threatened and assaulted D.C. cops and the ones within the Capitol. "Within the wake of this attack, the Capitol was once left in shambles, with the District left to care for the aftermath of the violent disruption to what must had been the non violent transition of presidential energy," the go well with says. The district is looking for punitive and compensatory damages to be made up our minds at trial. "Our intent, as we indicated, is to carry those violent mobsters and those violent hate teams responsible, and to get each and every penny of wear that we will," Racine mentioned. "If it so occurs that we bankrupt them, then that is a excellent day. When hate is dispatched and eradicated, that is a excellent day."

Hmm. So over 90% of charges laid against Black Lives Matter protestors were dropped b/c the kkkops failed to produce any evidence to back up the charges. That's especially revealing, given what we already know about how the kkkops treat #BLM protests. Over 95% of the more than 7300 #BLM protests we saw in 2020 were "entirely peaceful." 96.3% of them saw no property damage; 97.7% saw no injuries at all. Yet the cops still made arrests at 5% of the protests. Do the math here & you'll see that maybe half of those arrests happened at #BLM protests with no property damage or injuries reported. So why were protestors arrested? Turns out for no reason that kkkops could produce any evidence to back up. More than 90% of the time.

Cops and klan go hand in motherfucking hand (except when it's the same hand). You can't fucking reform this. Biden's big police funding boner is not going to keep anyone safe because cops do not keep us safe! They were tenderly leading the Jan 6 nazis down the stairs!

Cops are out of control and have been infiltrated by racist and militia groups. Republikkkans have seen to it that they have been armed and trained by the military. Their primary goal is to neutralize any threats in the shortest possible time. They are largely thugs who relish the opportunity to crack heads. There needs to be immediate and sweeping law enforcement reform at all levels. They are a threat to our society. Don’t think they only do this to people of color, they will do this to anyone who gets in their way, challenges them, or merely inconveniences them. They are a mortal threat to our democracy and there are bad actors on every force.
