The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

It's called kettling and has been a police tactic for a long ass time. Recently they used that technique on the Occupy Wall Street protests and now they're using it for the BLM rallies. They recently let people onto the Manhattan Bridge only to block both entrances. It's f*cked up sh*t.

We have the right to assemble until it pisses the people in charge apparently.

Peaceful assembly, with a permit, in a corner away from the people who need to hear it, for limited hours and not too loud. All it costs is a night in jail.

I love the one guy trying to back pedal it and her just doubling down.

Also I guarantee when she says "people in the black community" would say that she's referring to Chris Rock.

That popped into my head too. The "acting like a ***got" bit?

No, the bit about how there are black people and then there are ******s.

I heard that from my racist uncle too. Methinks Chris Rock is either just making a joke or needs to kick some whitey ass in his own head.
