What’s this about?
The governor of NY, and former cop, justified the police response to the anti-genocide protests at Columbia with a statement about “outside agitators”. When pressed on that, the governor essentially said it was a gut feeling.
It was the mayor not the governor
cop got on the news and used a bike lock chain that was used to barricade the building as “proof” that the protestors were infiltrated by professional agitators, because it was an “industrial chain” or something like that. its the bike lock that Columbia University itself recommends to students.
The entire conservative, pro cop playbook is “say silly things, pretend you don’t know they’re silly”.
And if anyone calls you out, act offended. Everyone knows if you are offended you are right. Growing up in a religious household it’s incredible how many times I saw someone use, “You’re rude therefore you are wrong” as a core tenant of “debate”.
The ‘victim card’ is the conservative ‘race card’.
Really reminds me of the “military-aged” thing. It’s just so pathetic.
“Anything but complete surrender is invalid” - Sadly I’m familiar
The ‘victim card’ is the conservative ‘race card’.
Except only one of those is real, while the other is made up by those trying to use the first…
Boop beep I got delete.
They may have meant that “race card” is real and “victim cars” is not. But I still don’t think that is a valid point
Possibly so.
When they say the “first” I cannot tell if they mean the first one I mentioned or the first one they mentioned.
Relative references in language is confusing!Technically, for referencing the previous parts there are “former” and “latter”, but you never know if it was not used intentionally or not.
Versus some of that old fashioned homemade chain. HOW ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL PROTESTORS GETTING THEIR HANDS ON COMMERCIAL-GRADE METALS???
Of course they do know there are professional agitators at the protests, they’re them.
Probably the Columbia University protests. I expect this means someone was arrested for having a bike lock (which can be used as a bludgeon).
I think the students had chained the doors with bike locks, and the police are trying to claim the chains constitute professional involvement.
This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.
It was used to close one of the doors of the building they occupied
This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.
If you consistently have a strong hunch it’s probably time to see a doctor.
If hunches last longer then four hours
Plot twist, Rafael is a cop.
Nah, Leonardo is, he’s got blue lines all over him
Bake 'em away, toys!
