Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

Was thinking about the Oregon armed encampment thing last night. It was seeming to me that there was kind of a double standard between the treatment of blacks recently...and these guys who were destroying public land and setting up armed encampments. And sure enough, there's some outcry about it this morning. I believe justified.

Frankly if I were in charge, I'd say that we appreciate their ability to protest...but that in 24 hours the power would be pulled from the buildings. We are a country where the law applies to everyone.

You have to have seen the 60s where it seemed there was a campus occupation of the month. Some lasted a long long time.

Even Potsdam had the "Annual Potsdam Riot".

Eff that noise. Pull the plug NOW. They have effectively declared war on their country, and they don't have a right to electricity or running water.

Is this a good place to discuss the conduct and questions of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's department detailed in Making a Murderer?

Sure. It may occasionally get lost in some of the discussion about the Chicago PD and other goings-on.


How is Making a Murderer? Netflix's as good/better answer to Serial?

Haven't seen Serial, but Making a Murderer was riveting television...probably resonated a little more for me, being that I grew up not far from Chilton and all the news clips were with anchors I grew up watching and one of the incompetent court appointed attorneys was the father of a classmate of mine.

Obviously, the first thing you have to do is realize the slant of the documentary team, they fully intended to show that Avery and Dassey were innocent and focused a ton of attention of calling out the actions of the Manitowoc County Sheriffs department, but based on what I've seen, heard and read about this...the Sheriffs department deserves a ton of scrutiny for the way they handled things, from claiming to the public that they were only there to assist Calumet County officers with equipment, when in reality they were consistently involved in the actual investigation of property and two names consistently show up as being involved with various things, when they shouldn't be...based on statements for the investigation.

It is a very sad state of affairs, to say nothing about whether or not Avery actually committed the crime in question.

But letting BLM occupy a public street (and at times block an interstate highway) for 2+ weeks, while vandalizing the police station, making threats to civilians, etc, is ok? And they weren't showing up every day. They quite literally LIVED IN TENTS in the middle of the street for a couple weeks.

Edit: MoaM: Avery is no saint, I think the series showed that. But in THIS particular case, the PD broke every rule in the book, and the DA/Dassey's first lawyer were pure scum.
