Blaming the Victims<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
A 17 y\/o white supremacist, Kyle Rittenhouse, drove from Illinois to Wisconsin w\/ an AR-15 to TERRORIZE BLM PROTESTORS <\/p>\n

He shot several people ended up killing 2. Then is able to casually walk around police as if he didn’t just murder!<\/p>\n

The police don’t care, it’s only black people<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Just after the shooting, another member of that militia (who was seen in pre-shooting pictures with the killer) described how the police told him they planned to push the protesters out of the park and towards the militia.<\/p>\n

Police were collaborating with right wing militias<\/i><\/div>\n

There is a life cycle for bad cops.  They go to the academy at a large city, and eventually wash out, either at academy or after becoming an officer, because of incompetence, stupidity, and bigotry.<\/p>\n

They go to a smaller municipality and get a job there, because someone else has already paid for their training, and they are cheap, and wash out to smaller, and smaller towns, because the smaller (and more resource limited) a police department is, the more it has to take on a police officer who got the boot from the big show.<\/p>\n

At the end of the line, it appears is Kenosha, where following a domestic violence call, a police officer (or officers) shot Jacob Blake 7 times in the back, paralyzing him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was caught on video, and there have been protests.<\/p>\n

The police have responded with violence and provocation.<\/p>\n

Last night, a 17-year-old white supremacist,Kyle Rittenhouse, and his AR-15, were driven to Kenosha from Illinois by his mom, he opened fire on the protesters.<\/p>\n

The police blamed the victims, describing premeditated murder as, “The use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict.”<\/p>\n

The officers literally ignored him as he walked past the cops, gun in hand, and was later arrested by Illinois law enforcement<\/a> and charged with 1st<\/sup> degree murder.<\/p>\n

The police were caught on video planning with with white supremacist militias, including the shooter.<\/p>\n

It appears that the white supremacists are a part of Kenosha’s police auxiliary<\/a>, and play a major role in the department’s legendary corruption<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cCorruption, lies, multiple evidence plantings, and deceit existed throughout the entire Kenosha criminal justice system,\u201d concluded one report<\/a>, commissioned by the Wisconsin state Supreme Court in 2017 after officers allegedly lied and planted evidence<\/a> in a murder case.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this may not matter to the “Silent Majority” that Donald Trump is so enthusiastic about, but this is already hitting them, because the Milwaukee Bucks are  boycotting Game 5 of their playoff series vs. The Orlando Magic in protest<\/a>. (They should be calling it a strike)<\/p>\n

The boycott has since expanded<\/a> to include NBA playoff games between Houston & Oklahoma City, and the Los Angeles & Portland, as well as games in Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, and the WNBA.<\/p>\n

All those folks who freaked out over Colin Kaepernick, including the orange inverted traffic cone, can bite my shiny metal ass over this one.<\/p>\n

In refusing to respond in a serious manner to a very real problem, they have made more extreme actions, and more extreme protests, inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
