Oregon Standoff Verdict: Not Guilty on all charges

I

I haven't read anything about it but I HATE eminent domain in 99 percent of its use.

 

Ok, read the links provided. Seems completely fucked up but I'm not surprised in this day and age where nobody cares about right and wrong.

 

Maybe, it happens too often even if this specific sheriff is the best guy ever. I did read that they treated that actress the same as the Native Americans so maybe they're just assholes.

 

Not sure about that sheriff. He was doing what he was supposed to do when he testified. I'm sure he was subpoenaed. I just know the natives aren't getting handshakes and left alone to protest for 41 days. They're being met with violence and YES I believe it's because they're not white.

You also forget the OTHER standoff in AZ with the same MFS who aimed guns at the police.

Same logic we use to excuse cops, because black people commit more crimes.....

 

This notion needs to die. We don't commit more crimes. Our neighborhoods are more heavily policed. THAT'S the reason why white people smoke more weed than blacks but we're 4x more likely to be arrested for it.

 

So you think the natives would get the same treatment the Bundys got in Burns?

Do you really believe that Sly?

I don't believe it for one second and I don't think most of america does.

 

Well just like conservatives don't trust Syrian refugees because one might be a terrorist, I don't trust cops because one might be a murderer.

People in here always like to say (this happens every time a black officer is involved in a shooting) that "it doesn't matter the race of the officer".

Not sure which side you fall on.

 

You're right I'm using color to make generalizations.

Blue.

 

But you did. You just said:

That's not a generalization based upon race?

None of you in here would want to trade your treatment in society for the treatment of POC but CONSTANTLY want to act like that privilege doesn't exist.

I don't believe for one second that that officer would be shaking hands like that with the ND protestors. I don't believe for the next second that they'd be able to occupy THEIR OWN LAND taken by imminent domain freely for 41 days. And it was only taken AFTER white people in Bismark protested for the same reason the tribes are protesting. I don't see any police in riot gear arresting them. They said "no, fuck it. We'll take these natives land and run our pipeline there. Because, you know, fuck them".

No imminent domain in Bismark.

 

I've never worked anywhere that guns weren't likely present, and most Realtors carry.

Now if a rap band took over my office...

 

So you don't drive on roads, go to the park, the library, school, go to a hospital, drink city water, use electricity...

Eminent domain makes all these things possible.

 

To be fair here, the Feds murdered an unarmed American white man here in Oregon, while just using rubber bullets on Indians in ND.

 

White people are sneakier. Duh.

 

Thank you for this comparison. I'd say it is smart in both cases.
