Is anyone else getting tired of this crap ?

They only resigned from the Emergency Response Team in support of the two officers that were suspended. They are still employed.

Wish I knew how to cuss and paste. Instead of just giving the headline so people could look it up and read it if they wanted.

I don't know if anyone has ever worked retail or fast food, and I'm thankful I got myself out of that a long time ago, but those folks take abuse on the daily and we 100% expect them to not to snap. If all of these special unit folks can't handle the situation better than those involved did with the old man, then I'm not upset that they all resigned from that unit under the circumstance. It seems a bit like when my daughter pouts to be honest so reading the local news article on it is informative:

The article from the Buffalo Times: https://buffalonews.com/2020/06/05/57-members-of-buffalo-police-riot-response-team-resign/

The union representing Buffalo police officers told its rank-and-file members Friday that the union would no longer pay for legal fees to defend police officers related to the protests. The union is upset with the treatment of the two officers who were suspended.

"Our position is these officers were simply following orders from Deputy Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia to clear the square," Evans said. "It doesn't specify clear the square of men, 50 and under or 15 to 40. They were simply doing their job. I don't know how much contact was made. He did slip in my estimation. He fell backwards."​

So the officers resigned from the unit because the union says it won't pay legal fees for the protest. I suppose just as easily they could have said "don't do anything to get sued, stick to official policies like not shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets, beanbags and tear gas" but that's not the direction they went.

Then the guy basically says "I don't know about how much contact was made but I think he slipped". If you don't know, then shut up. Watch the video, look at evidence. This is a trend of going "without knowing anything, I'm thinking we did nothing wrong" and that is BS.

Resigned from the ERT, not the police force.
Another important detail.

Okay okay. They did resign though.

I know.
I posted a link to the story in another thread several hours ago.

This thread was getting a little sour so I thought I would interject a new thought in this one. I tried anyway.

I can help you with the first part, bro. Watch two Carlin videos and call me in the ****ing morning.

Your comment is literally a contributing factor to the protests ---- that line of thinking. Like the delivery driver stopped in OKC recently. Doing a delivery. Why did that dickhead stop him? He was black driving a truck in Exclusive Ashford Hills. There are troves of unclassified documents showing the governments profiling efforts, but ignore that. Here in Tulsa protests were a great example --- have all the police setup to protect Brookside (a white neighborhood) but let everyone go at 51st-61st and Peoria. If you don't think racism is real, and systemic you're out of your mind.



For all the people here on this board saying that we should all be armed first responders, a lack of police seems like it would be a wet dreams. All the signature lines about offing democrats, and comments about getting rid of all the libtards ---- goodness I'm shocked that there's not a bunch of creamy pants at the very thought of the anarchy that would enable those dreams.



This incident?


The one where literally in front of reporters they shoved him off his cane? The one where he was at a bus stop? The one where no one was around him? Please explain that like I'm a 5 year old, because if we're watching the same video, I don't know how you can look at that and even think about justifying it.



The founding of our country was literally built on wrecking stuff. Imagine if we all spoke with British accents because people hundreds of years ago had thought "We'd like to throw all the tea in the harbor, but those poor poor tea merchants! Why, we'd hurt their business and wipe out quarterly profits! Let's go back to being taxed without representation chaps, that's much preferred to not being oppressed"

Racism is real. But it ain’t systemic. Most of the racism I see comes from blacks, not whites. Why don’t you watch Candace Owens’ Facebook video she just made on George Floyd. She speaks the truth on it.

That's it, we should put fast food workers out on the front lines to control protesters and rioters.
Surely you're smart enough to see a huge difference there.

How would you and your fast food friends handle these people?

Or go to the Media Play category of the forums and watch the video interview of Larry Elder by Dave Rubin. Larry Elder, who just happens to be black, can educate you about "systemic racism."

It will take you some time though, because the video is an hour long.
