Why hasn't Lewk spoken up against this terrorism?

Real Talk O'Clock: The vast majority of people rioting and breaking laws at these protests right now are the cops themselves, angered by the very idea they might be held accountable for their behaviour, or anything.
Here some police just straight up stealing people's bikes, then telling them to "figure it out themselves" how to get home.

American cops are pussies—A long thread (click through for the full list so far):

No offense to any American cops here.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
This is false. This is you projecting your own fetishes. Americans want the riots to stop. Americans understand why the public is rioting. Americans see the cops as part of and cause of the riots.
You have repeatedly shown yourself to be very unamerican.

We all know how this ends(repeats). Big headlines as initial trial dates are set, less headlines as dates are extended one year then two years and the anger fizzles from view. Then more articles like the one below.

If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
How surprising.
"A Georgia investigator testified on Thursday that one of the three defendants accused of chasing down and killing Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was jogging in Brunswick, Ga., heard another defendant use a racist slur after shooting Mr. Arbery.
From the witness stand, Richard Dial, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assistant special agent in charge of the case, said that Mr. Bryan heard Mr. McMichael use the slur after the shooting took place, and before the police arrived on the scene."

Every single one of these officers using excessive force on peaceful people should be fired and prosecuted.

So carrying assault rifles is fine, but maybe carrying a handgun which you're not even holding is a threat?In a Wednesday afternoon news conference, Vallejo Police Chief Shawny Williams said the officer believed he saw the butt of a handgun poking out near Monterrosa’s waist, and opened fire “due to this perceived threat.”
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
It could've been a knife too, knives are deadly weapons.
Meanwhile, thanks to video evidence, police were forced to go from "he tripped and fell" to firing people over this assault:

By now, there are probably a hundred videos of police assaulting protesters and bystanders. I wonder how many of them will be followed up on, and how many of those dangerous cops will be disciplined. If this many incidents are caught on camera, there are likely many more that aren't. As an institution, American police no longer has any legitimacy.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I've been wondering how many just how police have been doing stuff like this, and how they can possibly all be held accountable, especially given that the police have decided they're a law unto themselves now. Are we expecting them to arrest each other? Who's going to do the job of shifting through all the reports, video footage, eye witness testimony to find out who should be sacked, who should be sacked and prosecuted and who should be kept?

Police firing "non lethal" rounds into the face of a homeless man, who wasn't protesting.
Abuse? What abuse?
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Psychopaths who finally have an opportunity to act on their need to beat the shit out of anyone who "crosses" them.

"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Police killed an unarmed citizen while he was on his knees with his hands up. Because they thought he had a gun. Apparently walking around with an assault rifle is oKKK, but peacefully surrendering while looking like you might be packing heat is worthy of getting murdered over.

These rioting police—just a few bad apples—should be arrested:
