Here's one right from WaPo I was reading earlier:
Police use tear gas as Jacob Blake protests in Kenosha devolve into looting, fires
Did you watch the factchecker video re: Antifa? I hope so.
"Black Lives Matter" & Antifa are Communist front organizations

The ones I watch (which doesn’t include Faux News) show peaceful protesters VS government sanctioned terrorists, donning blue uniforms. If not for the actions of the right wing zealot GOP and trumpeteers, BLM’s wouldn’t be necessary. While I don’t agree with violence, it is the result of systemic racism. The mobs are the guys in blue who see dark skin as their “get out of jail free card” as long as those who they intentionally batter and murder have dark skin.
There is no valid defense of the uniformed, mobsters-in-blue.

Gamechanger: cell phone video. They can't always get away with it anymore.
Of course! That's what the commie libs in the mainstream media want you to believe. Here is the truth: https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1285481013708120069
Uh huh. Not interested in the fanatical right’s alternative facts.

That's your response? Does the video lie? He didn't take that video.
You both have just stepped into utter "denial of reality" mode here.

You're sourcing from a provocateur who's been seen (and photographed laughing) with Proud Boys planning an attack, he's written misleadingly about "Islamic England," and been fired for journalistic malfeasance. Perhaps know who you're using to bolster your arguments.

The Wall Street Journal ran a cowardly, race-baiting article on 'Islamic England': I live there. They're dead wrong

That last is from Jacobin, I included it because you identify with democratic socialism, but to be honest, it seems to me you're kind of all over the place. (Which is fine of course if it works for you, but I find it confusing to keep up with at times.)
Does the video lie, yes or no?
While you're pondering how to obfuscate from that question, here's another video for you. More fun being had by BLM's "civil rights protesters" in Kenosha. A business owner tried to defend his store from being destroyed by looters by hosing them with a fire extinguisher. I hope the damage they did to his head wasn't too severe: https://twitter.com/after_theaction/status/1298210964018429952
That's not Andy Ngo's tweet, by the way, so you won't be able to use that non-excuse as a cover.
This is the way BLM/Antifa work--Cops shoot a Black criminal, and other Black and White criminals respond by going out into the city to destroy innocent people's livelihoods by rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, assault, murder, etc. Does that sound like a good idea to you?

Did you even look at the links? The Vox link adequately explains the controversy around the beating, and I pretty much agree with their analysis. Honestly, you don’t sound too much like a democratic socialist except when you’re talking about abortion. Did you ever used to be a libertarian at one time?
Videos can be misleading. Sometimes they tell us exactly what happened, sometimes they don’t show what came before or what came after that would add context. I’m not denying it happened. Really, I wish you would take a look at the links, they won’t be a waste of your time, I promise. And why is it okay with you to use sources that are questionable, while consistently bashing the so-called mainstream media?
And by the way, justifying police brutality by describing the victims as “black criminals” when anyone who is arrested has rights under the law, It comes across as racist.
Apparent you have forgotten my advocacy for a Bernie Sanders presidency on this forum.
I would describe my default political position as left of center, but in practical terms, I am not polarized. I follow what the Greeks called "the golden mean" and what Buddha called "the Middle Way." The truth can be found somewhere in the middle of the extremes.
Hahahaha! More obfuscation to dodge answering a "yes or no" question, as I predicted. Funny, and yet disappointing at the same time.

Why did you edit out “I’m not denying it happened”?
I intended to edit out "Really, I wish you would take a look at the links, they won’t be a waste of your time, I promise" and deleted “I’m not denying it happened” without realizing it.
I'm glad you accept the reality of what the video shows. It doesn't matter who's Twitter feed I found it on. All that matters is if the video itself is legit or not. It is.

Okay thanks. I have to disagree though, it does matter what Twitter feed you found it on. Sources need to be vetted. I don’t happen to trust him as a source, so I won’t take information from him at face value because he hasn’t earned it.

Bernie's position is no where near "the Middle Way".
He is a radical extremist of the communist persuasion (though he likes to call himself a "democratic socialist").

Also I don’t recall your support for Bernie Sanders, either it’s just my bad memory or it was in the eight months I was gone. I’m not trying to pigeonhole you, just trying to understand where you’re coming from. I also identify as center-left, just a different center-left then you :chuckle:

which rarely shows the precipitating factor, only the cops' response
for example, the tiny clip that you saw, that everybody saw, that told the story "black man shot in back by racist white cops!"
The police shot at the part of him accessible to them as he resisted arrest, defied their orders to stop and opened his car door and reached in to grab his gun.
Stop being a gullible fool and believing the lies
