Originally posted by Leonhard View PostHonestly, if there is an actual call for defunding I think that's horrendously stupid. I've met some of that but only in the most extreme socialist circles I'm in contact with. Most liberals just want some of those police departments completely dismantled, and then built up again, and they're quite willing to wave concerns about unions to get some radical restructuring done.
I'm glad for the police officers who signed a letter showing support for something like this, and that letter represented hundreds. Now those officers I'd cheer for. They showed back bones.
Those seven guys leaving the office? Paint a yellow stripe down their backs for good effort.

Granted it's behind a pay wall so you might not be able to fully read it and I can't read it all myself since I'm not subscribed. I know about it because Tim Pool covered it and it was shown on one of his vids. I had to have a look for it but it's in this video about 13minutes and 20 seconds in where he covers the article above.

No. That's anarchy, unless everyone carries a gun and becomes their own law. But the Left hates that.
Quite a quandry.

Isn't there like a small group of weirdos calling out for secession every year in Texas?

As I mentioned earlier in this thread or the other thread CHAZ had created a post on their Reddit page in regards to creating a Conflict Resolution Advisory Council (CRAC ). It seems like this post has now been removed. I'm guessing too many people were making fun of it. In the end they had nine edits of the post clarifying which different groups of people they wanted to pander to include on this council. Unfortunately Ceddit or Removeddit only covers the deleted post up to edit number 3.
I also want to point out that it does read like satire so I'm not sure if this is authentic or not but I do wonder why it was up on their reddit page for so long and gone through 9 edits before removing it.
In edit 7 they had to further break down Asian representatives as they got complaints about 1 non-male Asian seat representing all Asians. So they went to 12 seats and specifically named nationalities for the seats i.e. Chinese, Cambodian, etc. However I am personally annoyed that Thai didn't make the list (For those wondering my wife is Thai and my son is half Thai).
In edit 8 they then mentioned that their council did not represent criminal offenders and so were adding a 25% clause for their council to have incarceration experience
In edit 9 they mention that women wanting to make a case to the council in regards to a sexual assault would be uncomfortable to do so if members on the council were guilty of committing a sexual assault themselves in the past. So they placed a 50% cap of having council members with previous convictions of sexual assault Also they mention that homeless people and disabled people are exempt from this cap
I think edit 9 shows that this can't be real. It must have been a post taking the mickey after all because edit 9 is just so out there that it can't be true.

Well they are no longer calling themselves "autonomous" and have changed the name to the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest. CHOP. Or "Organized" Protest. They can't seem to make up their mind.
