Are we sure those most peaceful mobs were actually leftist? They're still mostly peacefully protesting.

I said people, not just politicians. Do you think a celebrity spreading disinformation about Blake should’ve been suspended?
By asking your second question you continue to confirm that you believe everything out of your political parties representatives mouths. Is that true? Are you saying that Biden and Harris and Pelosi and Schumer tell the truth 100% of the time? If no, then why have they not been banned from social media platforms?
This thread started off with a ton of potential and it really hasn’t disappointed.
Do you think any of this is misinformation? And since you’re probably not too familiar with the case, know that even Brooky (who will argue anything) admitted the officer was justified after reading the report.
@hailtoyourvictor just took a huge Cleveland Steamer (better than Guardians), on a lot of folks.
Let's see how they respond.
Let's see how they respond.
Damn one person agreed with it that must make it ok. You have like 7 people there that said it was bad so 7 > 1 idk
As for your dumb whataboutism, the officer nor Blake was charged with anything. That doesn't make either party right or wrong. I also know police officers in many parts of this country are never charged with stuff a regular citizen would be. Blake will likely receive a 7 or 8 figure settlement too. Which again happens pretty frequently with police abuses.
It’s actually still your move. You said leftists have been banned. I’m wondering who?
You don’t think any of that is contributing to the spread of disinformation? Are you familiar with what actually happened in the Blake case?
You just cant seem to answer the actual question from anyone can you?
Just goes to show you cant prove the shit you spout on here.
This is from the investigation. Two of the more passionate libs here @brooky03 and @bignish were able to read this and realize the officers were justified in the shooting. Kudos to them, because the case in polarizing.
@RR30, it's okay to call out those politicians/celebs for jumping to conclusions.
Officer Sheskey obtained a description of Jacob Blake and knew he would have to arrest Jacob Blake on the warrant if he encountered him.
When officers arrived, Laquisha Booker flagged them down and shouted statements identifying Jacob Blake as the other person involved and indicating that he was trying to take her car, stating, “My kids are in the car.”
Officer Sheskey saw Jacob Blake and saw him putting a child in the back of the vehicle in question, a gray Dodge SUV.
Officer Sheskey immediately attempted to arrest Jacob Blake based on his active warrant and was quickly assisted by Officer Arenas and Officer Meronek.
Jacob Blake knew there was a warrant out for his arrest.
Jacob Blake did not comply with the verbal commands of officers as they attempted to arrest him.
When the officers attempted to physically restrain Jacob Blake, he resisted, physically struggling with officers.
Officers brought Jacob Blake to the ground, but he was able to get off the ground and to get away from the officers trying to arrest him.
During this struggle, Officer Sheskey and Officer Arenas both attempted to subdue Jacob Blake by deploying their tasers.
Both times that Jacob Blake was struck with the tasers, he ripped out the taser wires/prongs making the tasers ineffective against him.
Officer Sheskey also attempted to drive stun Jacob Blake with his taser by applying the taser to Jacob Blake’s neck/back area, but that too was ineffective.
As he resisted arrest, Jacob Blake was armed with a knife.
By the time he was walking in front of the SUV, the knife was opened and the blade was exposed.
Jacob Blake did not comply with police commands to drop the knife.
Jacob Blake tried to enter the driver’s door of the SUV.
The SUV had been rented by Laquisha Booker in her name and Laquisha Booker had indicated to police that Jacob Blake did not have permission to drive the vehicle.
There were children in the SUV who Laquisha Booker had yelled were her children.
Jacob Blake had the opened knife in his right hand and was attempting to escape from Officer Sheskey’s grasp and enter the driver’s side of the SUV.
Both Officer Sheskey and Officer Arenas stated that in the moment before Officer Sheskey opened fire, Jacob Blake twisted his body, moving his right hand with the knife towards Officer Sheskey.
Two citizen witnesses saw Jacob Blake’s body turn in a manner that appears consistent with what the officers described.
Officer Sheskey shot Jacob Blake seven times in total. There were four entrance wounds to Jacob Blake’s back and three entrance wounds to his left side (flank).
Officer Sheskey stated that he fired shots until Jacob Blake dropped the knife. Noble Wray explained this is consistent with law enforcement training where officers are instructed to continue shooting until they stop the threat.

You mean people that post stuff in the heat of the moment when a video is released? That happens on both sides of the aisle. Lol at comparing it to disinformation about vaccines or the election though.
Do you think police lying contributes to many people feeling unsafe around them? After this was the Minneapolis police report of George Floyd being killed-
Ok? That report doesn't fully match the video the entire world saw. Does it mean he wasn't justified? Nah. But you can also say 7 shots when someone wasn't facing you was ridiculous too. I don't know why you think I care that much. You're the one who brought Blake up.
Never been registered Republican or voted for one (granted, I usually don't vote for any presidential candidates).
I'm anti Covid vax, which has little in common with traditional vaccines.
Why would being "anti Silicon Valley" indicate Republicanism? Their only agenda is to promote unbiased truth, no?
What party do you think Robert Kennedy Jr belongs to btw?
Believe it or not, you don't need to be a Republican to support freedom of speech or safety.

Moving the goal posts again. But expected. How about all the disinformation liberals posted about Trump for 4 years to cause the uprising.
Do you remember when Harris and Biden and others said they wouldnt get a vaccine if Trump told them to. Do you remember the left wing saying Hydroxichloroquine was bad for treating COVID because Trump said it was ok to be used. Some govt's and hospitals banned it from being used. Finds out it works.
Is that not spreading disinformation? Do you think some folks died because people hated Trump. Yep. I sure do.
You really can't just acknowledge that those tweets are contributing to the spread of misinformation? It's really that hard for you?
Anyways, who are the leftists you said you know have been banned?
Just curious, but do you still have the same stance on 5G?
It was only a matter of time. Damn shame. There is a political thread that people claim they don't want any part of, but will go full political potato here.
So it's all about the first amendment? Social media are all private companies which gives them free rein to do with as they please. After all Facebook is known for being quite cozy with right wing actors-https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/mark-zuckerberg-joel-kaplan-facebook-alex-jones
You wanna argue they shouldn't have that? I don't fully disagree. But the first amendment has not and does not cover private companies or protect consequences of people purposely spreading false information.
Google is free for everyone. Nobody to the level of Trump has been not that you care anyway.
Asking if you've got the vaccine or not in this country is 99% of the time a political question though.
So you won’t provide proof to something you claimed? You’ve really gotten weird lately.
"Google is free for everyone. Nobody to the level of Trump has been not that you care anyway."
You just havent been paying attention or you just refuse to be honest.
given the political shithole this country is turning into, I suppose you're right. January 6th is totally relevant. I love how you say the political party stormed the Capitol building. Lol. Anyways, have at it.
You skipped right by my question about police lying. Funny how that happens.
I know both Krassenstein brothers were banned on Twitter. Did it stick? Idk. I don't follow almost any political accounts.
Do I still think it could be potentially harmful? Yeah. I mean, there have been studies that showed that exposure to 2G and 3G caused cancerous tumors in rats.
This is what your comparing to be banned for misleading information? You’re not very smart.
Twitter permanently suspended the accounts of Ed and Brian Krassenstein — progressive political activists famous for trolling Donald Trump and his supporters — with the company alleging the brothers used bogus accounts to amplify their reach on the platform.
“The Twitter Rules apply to everyone,” a Twitter rep said in a statement. “Operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions are strictly prohibited. Engaging in these behaviors will result in permanent suspension from the service.”
I'm not real smart? Man that hurts coming from you. I thought we were friends.
Also good job skipping right over it again. Why do you think it's ok for police to lie and spread misinformation about killing a man? Surely you in your quest for misinformation spreaders would have something to say about it.
Your example of leftists also getting banned for their opinions was two brothers who were making bogus accounts to amplify their Twitter reach. Swing and a miss.
Yeah. Unfortunately I think the thread had pretty much run it’s course. If nearly half of the posts are Phil then it’s probably time for it to die anyway.
I don’t see why getting vaccinated or not should be so political, but I guess I’m in the minority on that.
I think it could make a comeback around page 24
It really could go 10 more pages of ppl saying the same thing.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
