The Where's the Outrage Thread

[UKMikey]

The Los Angeles City Council cut $150 million from the $3 billion LAPD budget in July in response to calls from "Black Lives Matter"protesters to defund the police, bringing staffing to its lowest level since 2008.

A five per cent budget cut... sounds catastrophic.

It's hard to feel the outrage or accept that this minuscule reduction led directly to the death of all the kids in the article, let alone get all angry at BLM because of it.

I'll leave it to others to reflect on the irony of a Canadian griping about an American City Council's decision while telling a UK poster his opinion isn't valid.

You didn't type that did you? BLM asked to defund the police correct? Everywhere in the US. Not just LA. LA defunded the police,correct. Now BLM getting what they asked for has the narrative to protest outside a hospital saying kill the pigs. I got ya.How come BLM isn't saying those murdered innocent kids names? How come Lebron ain't up there saying those murdered innocent kids names. Why aren't those murdered innocent kids names on the back of all these professional sports figures shirts. Innocent children getting murdered every day. Yep defund the police,protest outside of a hospital calling for the death of the pigs. But those black innocent murdered kids don't even get a word. Doesn't fit the narrative.

BLM didn’t get anywhere near what they asked for. They're asking for that funding to be put into other areas to address gang violence. That didn't happen either.

But by all means, keep telling LA how to spend its money and BLM what they should be protesting about. (All the while living in a foreign country, while insisting people who live in other countries don't have any right to an opinion.) The way you're telling it, it's like those protesters shot those kids themselves.

25% of the budget is going into cops' pensions, not crime prevention so it's hard to see what difference a 5% cut would've made to those kids' lives.

A foreign country,ha,ha. Yeah we have the same problems as the US too. BLM wants it for gang violence. What the gangs that are killing the kids.Ha,ha,you been drinking Willis? You have no clue. Go to bed. I can't stop laughing.

Sounds like I'm not the one who's been drinking from the way you've misread the article. BLM doesn't want it for gang violence, can you provide a source like I did?

(There's that reading comprehension thing again.)

PS calling me Willis because I'm black isn't very classy. I'd try to be outraged if I weren't laughing so hard.

I had no idea you were black. Sorry your laughing. Anyhow to quote you.

Addressing gang violence will do nothing if the people getting shot at don't tell the cops who is doing it. Almost 80% of gun violence and murders go unsolved. Snitches get stiches. So people say nothing.

 

[Joey D]

Almost 80% of gun violence and murders go unsolved.

Do you have a source for that since a cursory Google says the number is somewhere between 40-50%. It also appears it's largely due to shoddy police work, poor collection of evidence, and having things dismissed in court because the police and/or other law enforcement agencies didn't follow what they were supposed to.

I must say that was disgusting to watch. The video I watched showed the 2 officers in Compton, sitting in their car minding their own business and dude walks up and unloads on the car. (Last I heard they are still trying to figure out who the perp(I have a better word for him) is.
Then to watch the 2nd half of the video you see the "protesters" block the hospital emergency and chant, let them die! kill those pigs!
It was :censored:sickening to watch.

On a side note, you don't see Blue Lives Matter going out and destroying the town...

I can't speak for other cities, but here in Salt Lake, we've had quite a bit of vandalism. One of the bars here let an artist paint murals of people killed by police on their outside walls. It's been vandalized several times now with people throwing roofing tar all over it or simply just spraying painted things on it. We've also had several acts of vandalism, one of which was at a school, where someone broke in and spray painted a bunch of racist and pro-Nazi things everywhere with #bluelivesmatter to accompany it. There's also been car windows smashed, people who've had their yards destroyed because they had a "we support black lives" sign in their yard, among other things.

This doesn't excuse what the other side is doing mind you, but it seems like there are just asshats on both sides along with those who just want to be asshats without really taking a stand on any cause.

There was just 2 arrests made a couple weeks ago, of Blues Lives Matter supporters going to Kenosha from Missouri caught with a cache of weapons they were not legally allowed to own & proposed to "'take action' if police were defunded,"....

 

[killerjimbag]

This is ridiculous. Warning language!!

Key word,police doing their job "caught" . Incredible you even posted this. Thank you to the police force for doing their jobs and protecting innocent people.

 

[DesertPenguin]

You use the word digress when I don't think it means what you think it means. I think you mean to say "you lied or obfuscated on that part". That would be more accurate.

 

[ryzno]

"you lied

I didn't lie. I didn't know, we are a big country...

None of that changes the fact scum exists on both sides.

Your echo chamber doesn't want to acknowledge such information, though, same way the world doesn't exist outside constantly only using Chicago or Toronto.

Here go Google Baltimore, NYC,St.Loius,,how many more cities should I post that gun crime is rampant in "North America " Should I do it for you? Yes there is scum on both sides. Unfortunately people are getting killed in the inner cities in North America.

Uh, yes or of similar credibility, because I don't buy into a far-right media outlet who has a history of false news reporting. More so when a chairman openly once said, “We’re the platform for the alt-right”.

Last week, when Donald Trump tapped the chairman of Breitbart Media to lead his campaign, he wasn’t simply turning to a trusted ally and veteran propagandist. By bringing on Stephen Bannon, Trump was signaling a wholehearted embrace of the “alt-right,” a once-motley assemblage of anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, ethno-nationalistic provocateurs who have coalesced behind Trump and curried the GOP nominee’s favor on social media. In short, Trump has embraced the core readership of Breitbart News.

“We’re the platform for the alt-right,” Bannon told me proudly when I interviewed him at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July. Though disavowed by every other major conservative news outlet, the alt-right has been Bannon’s target audience ever since he took over Breitbart News from its late founder, Andrew Breitbart, four years ago.

If you feel they're a credible news-source, that has a potential to speak volumes about you as a person.

Here let me take 2 minutes for you. Does this work for you? Is it reputable enough?
https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

Works fine for overall reporting. Doesn't do a good job breaking down details. For instance, it has Willful, Malicious, & Accidental deaths tallied together. On Charts & Maps, "Killed or Injured" information isn't separated in detail, either. Any time I click to see if the information is expanded upon in any category, it repeatedly takes me to pages and pages and pages of individual reports. I'm not shifting through nearly 20 pages of reports to see which was a Homicide, which was a Murder, which was Unintentional, & so forth.

Do not send Police into high crime/murder areas in the inner cities of the US. Stop going there,stop patrolling there. Should save billions of dollars. Let the people who seem to want defund the police patrol their own neighborhood.

For you to make this statement means that you have an extremely high level of confidence that the people asking for police reform are also the same people who live in high crime areas. Since you can't possibly know that through data, you must be arriving at that confidence through some other means. Maybe stereotyping? Something like "black people do crime, black people want police reform, and both of these facts are true about every black person"? How else could you possibly think your solution holds any water?

EDIT:

I must say that was disgusting to watch. The video I watched showed the 2 officers in Compton, sitting in their car minding their own business and dude walks up and unloads on the car.

Breonna Taylor and Kenneth Walker were similarly minding their own business when police barged into their apartment. Did you find that "disgusting" as well?

Reading the article a kid played with a gun and accidentally shot his sister. What, exactly, are you trying to say here? Death due to an accidental discharge of a firearm is something that happens everywhere and to people of all races. It's not a black, inner-city thing by any means.

Yes, because I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here. Kids find and get into stuff they're not supposed to all the time.

You really should stop with this. You think you making some sort of terribly clever point, but you clearly don't understand what that phrase was originally used by BLM for in the first place.

Would be nice. Irresponsible gun owners occupying the same part of the chart as bad parents isn't a black or inner city or even uncommon thing, so I have no idea why you're bringing it up.

I don't understand why would anybody support BLM at this point, bunch of racist Marxists trying to have their revolution. I don't know what they are trying to achieve except more racism.
