Top are armed citizens, bottom is National Guard.

Top are armed citizens, bottom is National Guard.

From what I've read troops in Washington D.C. do not necessarily have to be NG, they can be regular army too as the city is federal territory with no Posse Comitatus limitations.

national guard?state defense force not coming soon?

George Floyd spring!?

Well, in a way, you might call this situation a George Floyd Spring. This stuff is right up the "Direct Action" alley that Obama is always pushing. I hope he does not go down that road in his speech later (today?)

EDITED at 15:44 Mountain Time Zone

Obama started out pretty creaky, not much of a full hot orator for most of the speech....

Blamed things on America's Original Sin (slavery), among other things..... again.......

Did not condemn the violence occurring currently... Why not...?

Other than that, a rather standard Obama speech..

black subjects or their surviving family are winning civil cases even though criminal cases exonerate the police officers involved.

So, it;s a "win-win situation", except for the dead people. The family gets the money and the cops a paid vacation ?
I feel this is the case all over the civilized world. The more time passes and if big sums of money are involved the more people tend to forget and forgive, except opportunists.

A battalion from the Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne flew into Andrews Air Force Base today.

It's Time To Bust Police Unions

Over and over again, unions have defended bad policing and bad police. It’s time for them to go.

In 2018, as a gunman murdered 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Sgt. Brian Miller, a sheriff's deputy with the Broward County Sheriff's Office, hid behind his police cruiser, waiting 10 minutes to radio for help. For his failure to act, Miller was fired. The official cause was "neglect of duty."

Last month, however, Miller was not only reinstated but given full back pay. His 2017 salary was more than $138,000. Miller had challenged his firing, and, as The Miami Herald reports, he had done so with the full backing of his union.

Miller's reinstatement is notable in that it relates to a high-profile case. But the essential story—an officer performs poorly with fatal results and the union comes to his defense—is all too common.

This is what police unions do: defend the narrow interests of police at the expense of public safety.

Helsinki demonstrators join global anti-racism protest

An organiser of the demonstration said "the fact that racism happens at all is the problem."

Absolutism in regards to racism, an opinion, is maybe a bit high hurdle don't you think?

Damn it, I thought you guys were the only rational ones left.

This kneeling business is effed up. It's all about dominance and submissiveness. If someone comes up to me and wants me to kneel, I'm gonna make them swallow their teeth.

A little bit off the subject, but I thought the whole premise behind "BLM" turned out to be false? the whole hands up dont shoot, was all found out to be a complete misrepresentation, or a lie... and to go along with that, is statistics show that cops shoot and kill quite a few more whites than blacks? so why is it accepted in the media to push that whole narrative when it was found in the courts to be false??

Cops will get jail. As they should. IMO.

what do they mean, is that enough? are they implying that the officer premeditated the situation? what else could they charge him with? ridiculous.
