I'm guessing the questioning from Lane probably was the reason for the increase in charges for chauvin.
I'd been reading some share that insurance companies don't automatically cover destruction from things like a riot; that those are sometimes covered under an additional plan.I really hate seeing this. I know some people are saying that "buildings can be replaced" or "that's what insurance is for" but I'm guessing those people have never actually dealt with insurance companies.
Responded with the wrong attitude.hi! those looking for a video I posted of some police officers (boston) handling bricks from a truck behind NUPD: I did take this down because I started to receive direct harassment
I thought the exact same thing when I read it. It spins the author as the voice of reason facing opposition from those who don't want "the truth" to come out.Responded with the wrong attitude.
"I did take this down because it was unknowingly false information at the time"
I don't get it. The article is entitled "hoax alert" and makes it clear the cops weren't planting bricks. I don't see any positive spin on behalf of the tweeter who passed it on. It just quotes her excuse. Unless it's the tweeter you're criticising in which case fine. At any rate that's the fact check Facebook are using to flag this video, positive spin or otherwise.I thought the exact same thing when I read it.

That's precisely what I'm doing. It's an appeal to conspiracy. Whether such a formal or informal logical fallacy exists, it's a common tactic among those who wish to spin the ininaty they spew as being righteous, with those who criticize it being the supposed enemy of the truth.

Exactly. Large companies won't return to the major cities for this reason and others like remote working, and many small independent businesses are already ruined and never coming back. The future for large cities becomes increasingly bleak, as the wealthy are fleeing and the tax base is shrinking. Crucified on a cross of debt.I'd been reading some share that insurance companies don't automatically cover destruction from things like a riot; that those are sometimes covered under an additional plan.

*gasp*I think you are being overly dramatic.
I'm waiting for a rational counterargument. Being none, my point prevails.I think you are being overly dramatic.

I think that's an exaggerated outlook. Most of these big businesses will come back b/c their insurance plans cover everything. When I worked at Target in my youth, our asset protection officer always reminded us to never acknowledge or approach someone stealing, even if we caught it first hand. Just call it in, let him check the cameras & it would be handled. Everything was insured. Their security monitor is (or was) among the best as well, so it wasn't hard to get clear pictures of thieves and turn the media over to police.Exactly.

Apparently removing BLM graffiti makes you racist.
I think that may have been someone else. I don't recall having done so, anyway. The past several days are a blur as I've been suffering from postnasal drip as a result of seasonal allergies, and I haven't been sleeping well because of it.The small businesses will likely suffer, but there's evidence of people donating money to get these businesses back up & running. I've linked one, I believe @TexRex linked 1 that was inside an article he shared for a black barber who lost his business to a fire. Others do likely have insurance that will help, it will just take a while.
There's an unfortunate trend of people using these events and circumstances that arise from these events as a means to push a narrative which is itself at times far removed from the root issue.Non-issue, really. Just some dumb Karen looking for a way to be at the "forefront" of the movement.

I'm curious to hear his response to this as well.Honest question, do you just post things to post them or do you honestly feel a certain way? I know in the past you've said you just play the "Devil's Advocate", but it sure feels like you're just trolling.

Thought it was, but I apologize to the member who did; I vividly remember it b/c the article enticed me to find his GoFundMe & it ended up being at the end of the article.I think that may have been someone else.

However, I'm pretty sure I commented on someone posting a GoFundMe campaign for a...sports bar?
Did the new meaning behind "Mile High City" have anything to do with that in recent years?
Maybe they are members of the Trump Army? Stay safe everyone over there.
It's a Trump 2020 election campaign hat - 2016 was about getting Trump into power, 2020 is about keeping him there, hence the new slogan. But yeh, it is slightly ridiculous either way.Notice how one of the hats for sale (in camo!) is "Keep America Great".
Keep American Great. Not make it great, keep.
Does anyone else feel that the United States went from not great to great in the last four years?

The incident is disgusting, but the apparent attention that the victim is allowed moments later leads me to believe this part is more along the lines of "No, no, let's leave that to someone with experience so that we don't do even more harm." The "supervisor" clearly radios as he withdraws the other officer, presumably for assistance.You can see one cop realises how serious it is and moves to help but his supervisor (?) stops him.
