BREAKING: Shooting at Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, TX - Please SOURCE your updates. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=niiiiiiiiok;50674417]Wow Please go to a psychiatrist[/QUOTE] He isn't defending them, he's saying that something along these lines was pretty much expected to happen at some point.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50674400]So could a cheese burger. I mean this is just an absurd argument. There is no inherent political ideology to video games. There is a political ideology to BLM. Because one's a political group and the other is a form of media. Your comparison is still bunk.[/QUOTE] You arent much better witch hunting innovent civilians, then saying i didn't read the thread because i didnt buy into your dumb bullshit.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50674387]can you provide a neutral source? netural source isn't a website dedicated to men's rights, and the use of the word "feminazi" and articles suggesting that more women shouldn't be in parliament because of shit Liberal Democrats do. netural source isn't a youtube page with titles such as "Pope Francis: Shut the fuck up" "Stupid butthead millennials" "Crazy Violent Left Wing Extremists" "Fuck the Vote Remain Campaign" "Dear gays: The left has betrayed you" "SJWs gone wild"[/QUOTE] I haven't been able to find any sources that don't come from the guardian (which Bindel works for) or anything that seems to come from other sites known for tabloid journalism like HuffPo. Everything else seems to be a mixture of extremist sites, and the only reference to the article on facepunch is a thread discussing the video I posted from last year.

[QUOTE=fudge blood;50674205]I wonder if this will lead to a huge race war[/QUOTE] Probably not. Probably will just lead to what new York officers have done which is the bare minimum of work required

[QUOTE=Perrine;50674416][url]http://www.radfemcollective.org/news/2015/9/7/an-interview-with-julie-bindel[/url] here's the direct interview with her she spoke at their [url=http://www.radfemcollective.org/upcoming-events/radfemsresist2015]conference last year[/url] too[/QUOTE] thank you Really my entire point of asking is that people should either get unbiased sources, or get content straight from the source. I looked at her wikipedia page before and she self-identifies as a radical feminist so that statement doesn't seem to far fetched.

[QUOTE=niiiiiiiiok;50674417]Wow Please go to a psychiatrist[/QUOTE] I'm not sure where you get off saying that after you hoped the shooter suffered and saying shit like this: [QUOTE=niiiiiiiiok;50673674]These cunts who were all "kill the police haha revenge (emojis go here)" make me feel rage and a want for them to be hurt[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Pascall;50674412]"Tumblrites" are not a collective which can be adequately assessed and determined to be 100% man-hating radicals. Nor have I ever seen anyone promoting the work of Julie Bindel in the last 5-6 years I've been on Tumblr with the surge of activism. There likely are people on there who believe the words she says but you cannot, in all good conscience, say that there are a majority who do. "Tumblrites" are also mostly younger women who are isolated in their world and take information from friends and people they follow, rather than being able to utilize news sources adequately and accurately. Which, for being young, is to be expected since there are plenty of teenagers who have no interest in world news, but instead, rely on the word of mouth from their communities to inform them instead. With that, misinformation spreads. I will never believe that a movement like feminism or BLM which has so many avenues and issues being addressed all at once tote violence as an educated majority opinion. You hear about the violent ones because the violent ones get covered by news or get the most attention.[/QUOTE] Thats all fine and dandy and i hope that’s true but my personal experiences have made me believe otherwise.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50674466]people should either get unbiased sources, or get content straight from the source.[/QUOTE] I've seen people (multiple times) use Slate as a source. If you're going to start cracking down on "biased sources", you've got a LOT of work to do.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50674466]Really my entire point of asking is that people should either get unbiased sources, or get content straight from the source.[/QUOTE] There is no such thing as an unbiased source.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;50674422]You arent much better witch hunting innovent civilians, then saying i didn't read the thread because i didnt buy into your dumb bullshit. [/QUOTE] What exactly are you talking about? I am not arguing for or against what he is arguing, I am just saying his argument for it doesn't work. You meanwhile went into a thread where in the there had already been posted official descriptions of the suspects and randomly assumed that they were all white anarchists.

[QUOTE]DALLAS, Texas - The Army says Micah Xavier Johnson, named as a suspect in the Dallas police shootings, served in the Army Reserve and did one tour of duty in Afghanistan.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.news9.com/story/32402551/army-says-suspect-in-dallas-killings-served-in-army-reserve[/url]

[QUOTE=.Isak.;50674030]I agree. Now give me any social movement in the last 10 years that has had a distinct figurehead leader and a near-unanimous acceptance of that leaders' ideals. There isn't one. There can't be one. Maybe Bernie's an example - and as his campaign fell apart, so too did the people behind it. In less than a year. Fractured opinions, Bernie or Bust, switch to Hillary, go for Stein, support downballot candidates, complain online, which one truly reflects the real opinion behind Bernie's political movement? None of them.[/QUOTE] Switch to Hilary is the official opinion on that count, btw.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;50674488]I've seen people (multiple times) use Slate as a source. If you're going to start cracking down on "biased sources", you've got a LOT of work to do.[/QUOTE] I've heard nothing about slate. I've seen it once or twice, and I think it's a tabloid in disguise going off what they post. Maybe contact a moderator asking for Slate to put put on the official do not post list. [QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;50674504]There is no such thing as an unbiased source.[/QUOTE] Of course. When I talk about biased sources, I'm talking about clearly undeniably bias sources. For example, Infowars talking about Obama.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;50673691]Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the shooters were not affiliated with BLM officially, and essential hijacked the protest to cause mayhem?[/QUOTE] BLM is a lot like Gamergate in this regard, to use an analogy that FP might be more familiar with; there is no central organization, there is no way to be "officially" apart of it. In the same way GamerGate can't be blamed for harassment that some weirdos did, BLM cannot be blamed for the actions of this shooter. I'm not saying this to derail or to make a point or say that the situations and groups are in any way similar, I'm just using it for the sake of analogy.

Now we have this going on: #BlueLivesMatter [url]https://twitter.com/BlueLivesMatter?s=09[/url]

seeing as the suspect was disappointed with BLM, perhaps choosing a BLM protest was double-sided. there were a lot of cops ie targets, and it was to provide an example of what they thought BLM should be doing more of. i'm afraid that we're going to see copycat attacks in the future, not because i think the majority wants to kill cops (they don't), but because there is a minority who are fargone enough to be willing, able, and enthusiastic about it

[QUOTE=vrej;50674614]Now we have this going on: #BlueLivesMatter [url]https://twitter.com/BlueLivesMatter?s=09[/url][/QUOTE] Hopefully that this hashtag organization goes well. #BlueLivesMatter was used during the baltimore riots by some bigots to proclaim that a cop's life was greater than a black person's life, much like how #BlackLivesMatter was sometimes used to proclaim that a black person's life was greater than a cop's life.

[QUOTE=vrej;50674614]Now we have this going on: #BlueLivesMatter [url]https://twitter.com/BlueLivesMatter?s=09[/url][/QUOTE] Just make all of this crap stop. All lives matter, and you shouldn't need to create a gimmick to promote said message, nor to understand it.

[QUOTE=vrej;50674614]Now we have this going on: #BlueLivesMatter [url]https://twitter.com/BlueLivesMatter?s=09[/url][/QUOTE] Blue lives matter has been going on for as long as BLM.

[QUOTE=RobBrown4PM;50674638]Just make all of this crap stop. All lives matter, and you shouldn't need to create a gimmick to promote said message, nor to understand it.[/QUOTE] #alllivesmatter is a thing by the way.

[QUOTE=RobBrown4PM;50674638]Just make all of this crap stop. All lives matter, and you shouldn't need to create a gimmick to promote said message, nor to understand it.[/QUOTE] One of my biggest problem with these movements is that they don't realize that there are several groups that are prejudiced against and just focusing on primarily one group makes the other groups feel even more left out.

Any updates on the suspected shooters?

I just woke up and I found out they blew him up with a robot? what? I'm surprised this hasn't caused some ethics debate

[QUOTE=Saxon;50674732]I just woke up and I found out they blew him up with a robot? what? I'm surprised this hasn't caused some ethics debate[/QUOTE] What's the difference between that and shooting him?

[QUOTE=Saxon;50674732]I just woke up and I found out they blew him up with a robot? what? I'm surprised this hasn't caused some ethics debate[/QUOTE] The robot isn't a person that could get killed. So its safer for the officers if they send it in with something that can kill the guy shooting at them. And its not like police have robots with mounted guns.

It's unorthodox, but good problem solving that prevented further officer casualties when the guy was obviously not going to go quietly. I'm glad they did it, doesn't hurt my feelings a bit. Sure, taking him alive is ideal, but I'm not losing any sleep over his death.

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;50674738]What's the difference between that and shooting him?[/QUOTE] I don't have a problem with it really, its just weird You can't tell me other people wouldn't though
