LA Law Enforcement Agencies Rioted So Hard They Ended Up Shooting Each Other
from the gang-on-gang-violence dept
While Donald Trump was trying (and failing) to cheer himself up with a self-congratulatory birthday parade — I mean, just look at this sad boy:
— the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Sheriffs Department were busy turning peaceful protests in violent protests.
Throughout the nation, millions gathered peacefully to protest Trump’s military parade. The “No Kings” protests were only interrupted by violent acts of interlopers.
In Los Angeles, the ongoing protests against ICE intermingled with “No Kings” demonstrators. Everything was going fine until the cops decided that they’d have to riot if no one else was going to do it. This isn’t a narrative being pushed by protesters seeking cover for their own violent actions. This is something that was confirmed as it happened by multiple reporters on the scene.
Whether this is God showing his sense of humor or karma being the bitch it is doesn’t really matter. The only thing that matters is that it happened, it’s verifiable, and it’s pretty fucking funny.
“Training and expertise.” After escalating things by firing flashbangs, rubber bullets, and tear gas into crowds of people who were, at best, refusing to immediately respond to a dispersal order (although that’s still a point of dispute), the only people engaging in actual violence mainly managed to hurt each other. (That being said, plenty of protesters were still in the middle of this friendly fire exchange, as it appears the LAPD and LASD were both trying to keep separate groups of protesters from joining forces.)
As amusing as that is, it’s still cops instigating conflict, rather than seeking to de-escalate it. And it still means other horrific things happened, like the deliberate shooting of a NY Post reporter by an LA law enforcement officer.
Again, there’s some cruel irony to partake in here, given that the NY Post is firmly pro-cop and has published plenty of cop propaganda while covering anti-ICE protests.
Never mind the narrative being pushed by Trump and some members of law enforcement. The reality is that cops are provoking confrontations and using any excuse possible to engage in violence. And they’ll do it even when they know their actions are being recorded:
There are plenty of violent people at these protests. But most of them are wearing badges.

As A.R. Moxon would put it: “Every riot is a police riot.”
Also:
When an officer can snap into anger from merely being touched—not intentionally assaulted or shoved, just touched!—perhaps leadership in both the LAPD and the LASD should be asking themselves if they need to do something about that. Anger is an emotion, no matter what some men might say to the contrary, and it needs to be controlled just like every other emotion. People who get that angry and that violent in that short a span of time need some professional help.
Re: That's the something you meant, right?

US police departments: They have a penchant for violence and are incredibly quick to anger, someone promote that man!
I guess at some level the “law enforcement” agencies recognize who the public enemy is…
'I SAID violent riot, if you won't do it we will!'
They want the protests to be violent so badly that they’re willing to engage in violence themselves in an attempt to cause it, and of course the press is happy to play along even when they’re being brutalized themselves because ‘violent riots’ make for better viewing than ‘peaceful protests'(not to mention the former would require contradicting the regime and the Dear Leader), further encouraging such behavior.
Re:
The corporations that sustain the major capitalist news networks through their advertising would also rebel at the prospect of a factual description of events. It’s structurally impossible for those reporters to report.

This old man need some rest, let him sleep, he won’t bother anybody.

Cops Riot
Too many cops are just high school bulliies who grew up and got a badge and a gun.

Not according to any objective evidence.
I’m sure that Biden will get the blame for it.

Curse that presidential teleportation/time/hypnosis machine that only democrat presidents have access to that allows them to cause problems during times when republicans have all the power…

How can that be possible when everything since 2016 is Trumps fault? 6/19 6:18pm est
Simple Question
How Much over time are these guys getting?
My. God.
The cops have learned they can just brutalize each other?
Oi– incels. I have a modest proposal.
Re:
see the recent issues, with county sheriffs vs out of county deputies and the various FBI and ATF agents “caught” by overly zealous police.
Security forces (police and the likes) are built and operate today to protect property and the power of the 1%. And the 1% escape button for times of crises when their power is questioned or threatened is fascism.
Also, crisis is how they force more accumulation of wealth because people are forced to dispose of their property to survive and they can buy cheap.
Leftists did it!
Clearly the NYP reporter was shot by a leftist democrat Marxist seeking to stir up trouble. What else could it be?…
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

FUCK YOU, I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
There are way too many law enforcement agencies in this country. Time for mergers.
