Hi pop how are ya!!

:seeya: good to see you Cariis

 

[CARIIS]

Damn. Did anyone see that officer hit the male protester?

Hi Jax!

I dont get it-- how come cops cant seem to catch on? The days of them abusing people are OVER.

But nothing ever happens to them, so in a way it makes sense that there culture just keeps going on and on and on

Reporters on FOX just got threatened.

They are stopping/stopped bus service and The Ritz employees are barricading themselves inside the hotel with furniture.

"Someone has been shot. Clear the area. We cannot guarantee your safety." -- what an officer at College and E. 4th just said.

No, I do not believe LE shot someone.

I can --- easily - we see videos daily of cops shooting innocnent unarmed black people !

Here comes tear gas folks

It sickened me. I'm sure the guy said something very offensive, but that doesn't mean he should have been hit with a baton.

The whole joint is falling apart!!

I'm watching WCNC. Really frightening.

Jax, I am still worried about your safety since you are so close to the area. What if they start burning buildings down? Are you planning on staying up so you can know what is happening? These things seem to only get more and more violent as the night goes on. Are the police close to your area?

I don't think so. They'll pay the price, whatever it is.

That simply is not true and this man wasn't unarmed Cariis...........he was armed.

Respectfully I think overblowing the facts only worsens and incites the problem. JMO

Disgusting. Who treats another human being like this? WTF is wrong with these men?!!

 

[Jax49]

It's bad here, really bad. I'm house sitting a condo a couple blocks from the Epicenter. Rocks or objects have been thrown at my buildings doors. I dont feel safe taking the dog out to potty. I never thought I would see this in the city I love so much. Earlier, I took a bike ride, as usual, and stopped at a park near the stadium. Several protesters asked to pray with me. There are good people here, but I don't know why darkness brings out the ugliness. It was ok before it got dark. Peaceful protest with a purpose. Now, it's just unlike anything I've ever seen in the US.

Be safe.

Are you watching on CNN? The two local links you gave aren't working for me.

A protester. Reporters left that area. It was extremely dangerous.
