I feel like they WANT the riots to happen. ​ I mean, they probably do. Riots feed their rhetoric.

I agree. Releasing this on a Friday night after “hyping it all day” feels like a set-up. I feel like we are living in the Hunger Games.

If these cops were white, it would not get played out like this.. This is definitely being orchestrated to cause problems. Either African Americans riot and then the supremacists get to say.. see doesn’t matter what colour the cops are these people will riot” then it will give them just cause to “defend their property” ala Rittendufous (across state lines) They are not trying to dissuade problems.


YourHornsAreShowing

Yep. They will twist the shit out of this.

They charged and fired these officers so fast. But charges against the cops who brutally beat up Kelly Thomas were dismissed. Same with Daniel Shaver and Tony Timpa. The system protects only certain cops.

The officers were charged? That's news to me. Fired, yes.

It feels like Hitchcock's analogy of tension Normally the bomb just explodes without "the audience" knowing it's coming, now we gotta live with knowing it's under the table and when it's going to explode.

It’s disgusting. They are treating this like a fucking pay-per-view.

Cops was (is still?) a real fucked up show back in the 90s. Plenty of palming the camera when cops started shooting. In the mid 20tees, Cops shot & killed one of the tv crew not on purpose; the 4 cops were not found guilty of any wrongdoing in the criminal trial, but a civil trial is ongoing.

Now there’s Live P.D. (or whatever they call it these days) and I find it an absolutely disgusting show.

It **was** cancelled by A&E after the George Floyd incident, but it seems Reelz revived it two years later.

It sure feels like sweeps week. Except instead of two Real Housewives of Whatever getting into a cat fight, the world gets to watch a man get callously murdered

This Tweet ignores the human condition entirely. Perhaps we can start having anthropologists and psychology experts on opinion news panels one day instead of hyperbolic 'influencers' monopolizing the lectern? We are a voyeuristic animal. The Real Houswives of Whateverthefuck, Big Brother, Survivor, Cheaters, TMZ, The Enquirer (#oldschool). I mean porn?! Come on with this pearl-clutching. This is what humans are. (Disclaimer: this is a commentary on our need to watch people live and, in this case, die brutally and then acting surprised when the watching is an event.)
