USA Customs and Airport staff are some of the most unpleasant people I have met. I know it can be a pain working at an airport but for some reason there they seem to be complete c*nts in a way other countries dont seem to be.
 
Its post 9-11 regulations and hysteria, still to this day. It's not just to foreigners. Came back from Costa Rica years back, was detained, searched, questioned, missed connecting flight. They wouldn't even tell me why. My guess was random check or my name matched some other person of interest.

I fail to understand how anybody other than an African American can comment on what is the right or wrong way for them to protest.
you know not all of them are African American, as evidenced by the people doing the dumb shit on camera who many are white?

If only they'd done as they were told.........

That seems to be a common thread among white folk when talking about cops mishandling black folk.

Video shows moment woman hurls Molotov cocktail at NYPD cop car in Brooklyn

By DAVE GOLDINER
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS |
MAY 31, 2020 | 1:50 PM


Video footage appears to show Samantha Shader lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing it at an NYPD vehicle with four police officers inside early May 30.

A shocking video shows the moment that a woman tossed a Molotov cocktail at NYPD cops in strife-torn Brooklyn.

Samantha Shader at first blended in with the diverse crowd of angry young protesters yelling at police outside the Brooklyn Museum after midnight Saturday.

But suddenly, Shader, 27, of Catskill, New York, allegedly pulled out a bottle and emerged from the crowd. Apparently lighting the incendiary device, she shouted at other protesters as she ran toward the NYPD car.

“Get out of my mother-f-ing way,” she screeched.

That’s when she tossed the makeshift explosive at the police car with four officers inside.

The Molotov cocktail broke a window of the police cruiser but did not erupt in flames because Shader used toilet paper instead of a rag to construct it, sources said.

Police chased Shader down and she is facing federal charges. Her sister was charged with obstructing justice and was released without bail Sunday.


The 4 cops barely escaped as the car burst into flames.

She's charged with attempted murder of 4.

Ah c’mon. In a police state maybe. It was a quiet neighbourhood. They were standing on their doorstep. That is respecting of the curfew. There is literally no justification for what they did.

You would suspect it will soften over the next few days. Minneapolis seems to now be having small peaceful protests and the looting wont be reflecting well.

if i hear that ignorant "all lives matter" statement again ill go ballistic. how dumb can you be.

seems to be a lot of white people involved in the more serious incidents. makes you wonder.  is it the old "lets ensure that they are seen in a bad light" to reduce support for the cause and distract from the real issues. happens again and again and again.

Was thinking about this earlier too. Those that are saying that have taken the "black lives matter" slogan and taken it as an affront that they aren't included. It's gone over there heads. Black people aren't saying white people lives don't matter and only theirs do. They are just making a statement that their lives matter. It's just basically that simple. But then again, deductive reasoning of some of these people is non-existent because they're thick as fuck.

The trouble with powder kegs is that whatever triggers the initial explosion gets lost when it spreads. The ground is fertile, people trapped inside for 2-3 months, economic misery for many this year, summer weather and years of genuinely felt political and personal triggered resentment by large swathes of Americans, particularly that arising from racism and the operations of the police.

Having Trump in charge is not something that will douse the flames. Expect problems and also expect Trump to deflect, some to China much internally to his political enemies.

Dangerous.

Just seen an Espn clip with Stephen a smith where he says a lot of this could have been avoided if he’d been arrested after he was fired, come to think of it why didn’t they do that, as he would have been sacked for that not some other random thing he may have done so why wasn’t he arrested too?

Starting to kick off again in LA. More looting, with the curfew now in effect. It's going to get nuts once it gets dark. The looting is unfortunate, because now its not about George Floyd for those with ulterior agendas.

It's impossible to grasp how deep the hurt and anger must be,there are people alive today whos' Grandparents parents were born into slavery.

Those same people have been telling anybody who would listen about how they are treated and in all but the rarest cases were made out to be liars,it's only recently with the help of mobiles that the rest of us are getting a small glimpse into that world they have been forced to live in.

I mean for fucks sake,there's a video of a copper arresting a guy yesterday and he had his knee on the fellas neck,two cops,1 guy but he still felt protected enough to do to the guy the same thing that has kicked it all off.

And not everybody is protesting the murder of Mr.Floyd,he is just the latest but there are lots of other cases ongoing where the killers are still claiming a wage and are free to walk around and spend it.If it was just a few bad apples then only a few people would have experienced the racism that runs deep throughout Americas Police forces.

Didn't help that the stupid fucking prosecutor held the press conference and claimed that there was video showing that it wasn't an illegal act,the same day that another video was released that showed Mr.Floyd not resisting arrest.
