If Chauvin is not convicted of murder then BLM will most certainly still campaign for him. Therefore “killed” is more accurate.

People are called “racist” for things many would disagree has anything to do with race. I’m pretty sure if you insisted on not renaming master branch to main, people would call you…

> murdered by police *killed by police

> then disperse them This is more difficult than you expect. Police are drastically outnumbered in any crowd control situation. You can watch videos from Minneapolis riots where po…

I wish all this moderation would be flipped around. Just allow people to filter the content they see. We should have a system similar to movie content ratings to make it easier ins…

If the assembly is deemed unlawful because of threat of violence then they ask people to leave and if people refuse to disperse they can arrest them. What would you change about th…

I would say it's a tactic that police are aware of. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-19/donald-trump-us-capit...

- someone in a crowd smashing windows (police can't identify who) - encircle the crowd and ask who is press - person who was smashing windows (unbeknownst to the police) claims the…

“Peaceful” gatherings are not illegal as long as they follow the rules. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/ In every country in the world the rules of protests…

The vast majority of people never have negative interactions with police and actually are thankful for them keeping their communities safe. The ones that do have problems are those…

Only comment on the entire thread that makes sense. It’s amazing that every comment seems to imply sinister motives to every action by every police officer, when the more obvious a…

> Do cops think there are thugs cloaking themselves in fake press gear ? Yes. Everyone has phones now. Everyone can claim they are press or they have a YouTube channel. These peopl…

They do. > Law enforcement quickly identified media and escorted them to a line where they were asked for credentials and identification. Law enforcement took pictures of journalis…

What’s your solution to people claiming they are press to escape detention after unlawful assembly? Someone could be smashing windows one moment and then claiming they are press th…

You ignore the facts of this specific case. Anecdata indeed. > Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says throughout the night, and particularly from 8 p.m. onwa…

I wonder how an order like this can be implemented. How do you know who is a journalist without detaining them first to verify credentials.

> it’s not clearly unacceptable How do you prevent anyone saying they are a journalist to avoid getting arrested for unlawful protest.

Peaceful != Legal Assuming you are not right-wing, imagine having endless Trump people on the street protesting - there is no way you would reach the same conclusion.

Thanks for the insights. I like the more nuanced spectrum you present. I find myself too often in a simplistic left/right divide. I think there is great value in a more fine-graine…

Mm it’s a tricky situation. Ideally the free market would solve it by coming up with another service with an alternative moderation strategy. Which may yet still happen. In 50-100 …

74MM ppl voted for someone who used to be President and is now permanently banned from all social media platforms. This article agrees with that. If you were one of those people, y…

This is the reason I don’t like this whole “everyone should do therapy” movement and also the “mindfulness/meditation” movement. It creates this hyper-awareness which creates more …

This really needs a tl;dr summary. And I think especially so given that they want to make things “simple”.

This is a great idea. Hit this so many times.
