I didn't actually put the breaking news tag in all caps but the poeTV tag system is determined to give it a different tone than I intended.


Xenocide - 2016-07-08

Now watch as the same people who bleat out "not all cops" excuses use this to condemn the entire BLM movement.


That guy - 2016-07-08

BLM, in practice, already fucking sucks.
What's there to condemn?


That guy - 2016-07-08

Also, genius, "not all cops" is not an excuse for the cops who shoot people for no reason. Anyone who says that is a fucking idiot.

"Not all cops" is an actual reason to not shoot all cops, even though some cops are evil and some practice gross negligence.

People get swept along in horrible social unrest. There's no reason for your hardcore stance, bro. Have at least an 8-bit system of nuance.


Hooker - 2016-07-08

I mean, maybe this isn't the absolute best time to attack the people who are sympathetic to cops, Xeno.


That guy - 2016-07-08

It's not even a question of pro-cop for me. I was dismissed from two jury selection processes for not having a positive enough view of the police for the prosecutors. Both times they used one of their strikes on me.

It's a question of not wanting people to get swept along with this. By people, I mean everybody.


That guy - 2016-07-08

And supporting the conviction of killer cops and the end of cops murdering black people at a much higher rate than people overall–– is not the same as supporting BLM.


Spaceman Africa - 2016-07-08

no tears for pigs tho


lotsmoreorcs - 2016-07-08

"8 bit system of nuance" lol lol lol


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2016-07-08

#NotAllCops
#BlackLivesMatter
#NotAllMen
#LoveMen,HateSexism

These are all controversial statements somehow. How exactly does that happen?


Old_Zircon - 2016-07-08

The profit margin on solidarity isn't high enough, JHM.


baleen - 2016-07-08

"BLM, in practice, already fucking sucks. "

Easy to say when you don't get fucked with my the cops all the time.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

Now hang on just a gosh darned minute...

You can have commas in hashtags?


That guy - 2016-07-08

"BLM, in practice, already fucking sucks. "

>>Easy to say when you don't get fucked with my the cops all the time.

A movement, in practice =/= the cause for the movement.

OWS had plenty of reason to come into being, and it squandered its point in history.

BLM pushes away people that it should pull toward it. It's the confusion of "weed out our enemies" with a goal of "win over the indifferent". "weed out our enemies" helps you ramp up your intensity, and makes an enemy of anyone who flinches or questions. It doesn't do a lot else.

Twas ever thus. Dubya's admin did a good job of that internationally, it seems.

Baleen, I'm not questioning a word of what you said about closet racists in police departments (in blue states, even), nor the racism on display in most or all of the shootings. None of that means that BLM is being practical. Oil and water.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

That guy, without violating the sacred bond of movie night, let me just point out that Pythagoras put forth the opinion that if one is the type who can accurately parse the errors of others, one should be the type to ignore them in favor of doing the right thing regardless, and not hold inartful aesthetics as justification for a deserving failure of those too bad off to see their own error in the midst of needing your help.

I believe he defined this as adulthood.


That guy - 2016-07-08

Well put.

But how does that cash out in this situation?
A few lines of internet comment support vs a few lines of internet comment criticism?

Semi-fucking-up a good cause is semi-fucking-up a good cause.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

Engage in superior causation.

Because otherwise :

Mistakes are made.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

Emphasis poeTV's, not mine. Between randombold and tagtense, I think poeTV may have attained consciousness.


namtar - 2016-07-08

Is anyone surprised by this?


SolRo - 2016-07-08

Not particularly, given the easy access to high powered weapons and feelings of disenfranchisement and victimhood.

Weary that police are going to pull an Israel and be extra trigger happy with any black people they encounter in the line of work....you know, the average killing rate will spike by a couple dozen or more and it will be justified with this.


Binro the Heretic - 2016-07-08

So many horrible things start out this way...


fedex - 2016-07-08

Probably some John A. Muhammad type


Spaceman Africa - 2016-07-08

needs the "rahowa" tag


gmol - 2016-07-08

The fact that these events have been (correctly) associated with Facebook Live makes reality far more dystopian than anything science fiction could have imagined.


That guy - 2016-07-08

...did one of the shooters stream this live or something?

For those of us not on The Facebook, please explain.


fedex - 2016-07-08

How is it dystopian? As I understand it "little brother" is empowered more like "big brother"


SolRo - 2016-07-08

The empowerment is an illusion.

Exclusive use of these systems makes us dependent, and big brother is still more than capable of shutting them down at will.


Old_Zircon - 2016-07-08

I'm with SolRo on this one.


baleen - 2016-07-08

yeah me too!


gmol - 2016-07-08

I will write a graphic novel one day that is presented as a cascade of live streams all casually linked to some ultimate tragic event. The web ads around the video always prominently in view, from the one telling you to buy the portable stool you just bought to clickbaits with contrived pictures of women's cleavage.


Nominal - 2016-07-08

"Fight police brutality, mi lord?"

-Evony 4.0


Fezren - 2016-07-08

Black Lives Matter should be considered a hate group. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the often-violent and exaggerated rhetoric they spew is largely responsible for this violent incident.

You really want help the black community? Donate to your local NAACP. All BLM accomplishes is spreading hatred that gets innocent people killed.


Bort - 2016-07-08

Or as Drudge put it, "Black Lives Kill", amirite?


Cena_mark - 2016-07-08

BLM is not a hate group. It's fighting for a just cause. These shooters likely had nothing to do with BLM.


jangbones - 2016-07-08

Ha

"Police kill black people disproportionately, that's wrong."

"HATE GROUP!!"


That guy - 2016-07-08

Fezren, evidence that it's a hate group or gtfo.


That guy - 2016-07-08

I've followed them with some skepticism and I haven't seen any hate-spreading or violence-advocating.


That guy - 2016-07-08

BLM is de-centralized, so that's one of its problems, and it allows for any and all screwballs.
But I don't think the overall tenor has been "kill people", Fez, ffs.


Gmork - 2016-07-09

It may not be a hate group, but there's entirely too little questioning of the attitudes and beliefs of the more hateful and fanatical members by the peaceful and sane members.


teethsalad - 2016-07-09

yes, how dare they "spread hatred" by insisting that law enforcement treat them they way they would every other citizen in this country

the NAACP has been around for over a hundred years - and this is still happening. You deny a people equal protection under the law for generations, and what do you expect? You expect all of them to sit on their hands and ask nicely for another hundred years? This is exactly the red dawn wet dream that the 2nd amendment fetishists claim they need all their firearms for - for citizens to protect themselves against abuse of power by the government - but since they're black, well, I guess it's all their fault, and the constitution doesn't apply.


teethsalad - 2016-07-09

(not condoning the violence, or the killing of police, but, for fuck's sake, I can understand it.)


Gmork - 2016-07-08

Hate piles on hate. I'm saddened and disgusted.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Gmork piles on hate. No one gives a shit about your pedantic, crocodile tear posturing


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Gmork walks through the empty alley. It's a good night for a stroll, but he presumed the city was peaceful. A trash can falls in the distance. Gmork knows what this is and hides in an unlit doorway. Just as expected, a cat with a bag of skittles. He slows his breathing to crawl and hopes the beast doesn't smell his sweat.

As the footsteps start to fade, Gmork takes his leave. But he can't. Dry and clean, he can only gasp in horror as he again has ballooned up due to his strategic pores.

The footsteps return, louder than expected. Gmork struggles, but the tension only fills the remaining crevices of the foyer. He looks up to see a gollywog with a bellow pump. "You gonna die tonight bitch" it said as it jammed the pump into Gmork's stomach.

Gmork, fighting as much as he could, could only scream. He felt a draft behind him and soon caught sight of a long neck of a creature mount over him. It was a horse with thick lips and corn rows. As its hooves slowly crept over him, it breathed in enthusiastically, "damn you feel like sweet honey"

Then everything went black


Gmork - 2016-07-09

Shoebox, honestly, you're just embarrassing yourself.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Keep trying Gmork, this new angle of yours will work eventually.


Gmork - 2016-07-10

I'm not sure what you think I am - but judging by the direction and content of your vitriolic, rambling pretentiousness, you're entirely wrong about all of it.


bawbag - 2016-07-08

Nope, sadly.


bawbag - 2016-07-08

Meant to reply to namtar.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

Hooker, this stream is not as fun as your last one.


Chancho - 2016-07-08

There's a shitload of mental illness in America. We need a wall to keep you crazy fuckers in your cage.


Cena_mark - 2016-07-08

Be sure to make the USA pay for it.


TeenerTot - 2016-07-08

Replace "mental illness" with "guns," and I'm with you.


Gmork - 2016-07-08

Idiot.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

To keep Americans out? A wall is hardly necessary.

If you're Canadian, just have a sign at the border that says "Canada : *arrow pointing South*" and you'll be fine.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-08

@Gmork, please elaborate why everyone owning a gun would be problematic with out simplifying it to "Because there are assholes everywhere."


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-08

Also, Gmork, if you don't respond to this, whether at all or just gobsmacked that I ask for any thoughts about gun control from you, then you're an even bigger, cowardly, slimy piece of shit.


Gmork - 2016-07-09

The funny thing is while you've been stewing in your own juices, I forgot you even existed.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Says the cretin who believes there's a head nigger behind a fucking hashtag. Try sidestepping some more, I'm sure the spirit of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. will return as a lava monster and condemn all the free radicals.


Gmork - 2016-07-09

"Says the cretin who believes there's a head nigger behind a fucking hashtag"

What does that even mean? And why are you referring to black people as "niggers"? That's a pretty slimeball thing to do.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Why do you think Zimmerman was innocent? It must be because Travon had similar tastes to you, but you hate being part of a group.

Or maybe it's you're a racist piece of shit willing to throw a teenager under the bus and you comfort yourself with bullshit rhetoric speculation covered in "Well I don't want to be THAT wrong". Seriously. You threw a teenager under a fucking bus all due to an overly fucking exaggerated tense of gun control. You are a giant fucking racist piece of shit and the exact bit that gives the anti-PC crowd any weight you malignant shitbag.


Gmork - 2016-07-10

Holy fucking shit, Joe. I mean, really?

Do you actually believe a single word of what you're saying?

Get help, man.


Nominal - 2016-07-08

Oof, the stream chat. For anyone who needed Youtube comments delivered to them FASTER.

6 seconds of watching before a "false flag" claim appeared.


Cena_mark - 2016-07-08

Now those Blue Lives Matter dorks have some more ammo. I hate Blue Lives Matter. Of course Blue Lives Matter. Our society has always protected the blue lives. Cop killers are immediately hunted down and then have the book thrown at them. Blue Lives Matter idiots will never recognize the difference in how blacks can be so casually killed by the police, just to have the investigations just kinda fall through the cracks.


EvilHomer - 2016-07-08

What about Ice T and the other members of Body Count? They're still running around with impunity.


chumbucket - 2016-07-08

Yeah people hate each other, this is not news. What IS news is the use of robobombcop.


TeenerTot - 2016-07-08

I missed it...but something's happening at the capitol now?


StanleyPain - 2016-07-08

It's almost like when you keep escalating violence against a segment of the American population using a militarized force that largely answers to no-one except themselves it has negative consequences for everyone involved.


TheOtherCapnS - 2016-07-08

The pendulum swings both ways.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

Well, one side of the pendulum historically used a robot to kill a citizen on American soil.

Drone war is now a go domestically.

Have fun with that.


Nominal - 2016-07-08

Dick Jones couldn't have staged a better event to usher in ED-209.


memedumpster - 2016-07-08

ED-209 will give black people five seconds to comply, ushering in a golden era of citizen/police relations never before thought possible in America.


EvilHomer - 2016-07-08

Well, as long as we disarm the proles first; wouldn't want the Unwashed damaging an expensive piece of kit like ED-209.


15th - 2016-07-08

Fuck, this is not good.


Hazelnut - 2016-07-08

Five stars for 15th's cogent, factual distillation of Obama's speech this morning.


Miss Henson's 6th grade class - 2016-07-08

Fuck, you're right.


Chocolate Jesus - 2016-07-08

Good. Kill 'em all and search for a reasonable justification afterwards.


Potrod - 2016-07-08

It's good that most of poetv isn't this insane.


Gmork - 2016-07-08

I dislike the attitudes of many police officers, but I'd rather see them become better people than become corpses.


EvilHomer - 2016-07-08

What if they'd be better people as corpses?


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-08

Corpé Diem!!


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

@gmork
Bullshit, you've never met a cop and you wouldn't be explain one thing the goes down if you did.


Gmork - 2016-07-09

I've never seen someone angrier than Shoebox here on poetv.

Continue, Joe. May your misplaced aggression elicit many more chuckles and head-shakings.


Shoebox Joe - 2016-07-09

Hey guess what, fuck you you piece of shit. If you didn't lie to yourself constantly just to deflect anyone outside of you, you'd find you're a fucking perfect mirror image of Tipper Gore you myopic piece of shit.

You're even including the premise that I'm racist for using the word nigger, but this is the same shit that fits your rhetorical shit stain premise of fag being able to be used with out any homophobic tense. The same shameless shit people use to console themselves that they can use the word nigger with out looking like shit.

Seriously, do you fucking get it yet? Are you fucking done trying to win something obviously not meant for a thin skinned little faggot like you? That as much as you try to turn anything as a matter of possibility, the real reason you even fucking do it is because you're a self-entitled, selfish, cowardly piece of shit that can't for two seconds go with the thought of being put into a bad frame of light with out crying like a little bitch that you're going to lose your safe space?

Eat shit and die. I have no fucking qualms about using that phrase, intent, or meaning towards you. You are fucking scum. You are the fucking epiphany a low-life, scum sucking shit hoarders that you'd will a fucking child to fucking die to save the frustration of what guns you don't own not being available at an instant. You willfully ignore the misfortune of others for the sake of a bullshit devil's advocate of free reign over a fucking slur.

Go fucking die.


Gmork - 2016-07-10

I love you too, Joe.

crasspm - 2016-07-08

Ok America, you guys are hurting a lot right now. Like, your identity as an ass kicking human righting bad ass is so in question these days. You got your old civil rights issues you thought were all squared away, reviving and churning and shocking you all again. I gotta say, I wanna see you get this together, get it right, fix your shit and adjust your fight, puff your chest again and human some rights. I really think that America is some kinda special, that you got that pioneering thing that you apply to landscapes on maps and landscapes on minds and, you can get there again from where you are now.

I'm not in America, I'm not an American. I still wanna see you guys get back to it, I wanna see you guys be impressive again, kick some ass again, be a beacon again for all those who suffer and wish for something better.


That guy - 2016-07-09

We need to reform quite a few different things.


The Mothership - 2016-07-08

If I were a big corporation I would have some sort of robotic police officer program in the works right now. Might even give it a catchy name.
