Citizens of Los Angeles are absolutely GOING IN on the LAPD in a public Zoom call right now

He's just describing typical police tactics that happen in every city when they get pushback. Yes, the police operate like a protection racket. No, that's not an excuse for failing to hold them accountable or failing to massively reform the policing system.
I get that they are in a difficult position, but ultimately they aren't the ones who suffer, it's the citizens in these communities who suffer.
I care. And dozens of people who spoke to our officials today. And everybody they know or in their community. It's great that this is happening and being recorded across so many cities.
It's great that it's happening but again if they refuse to change....
Then we keep protesting...
I'm saying it's good that there are recordings of these arguments going online for hours and hours on end to mayors and police commissioners.
I love the comments.
It's really sad that these people can hear this stuff and be just as stone faced and uninterested. There's not going to suddenly be some great change of heart, they're lost.
Signal boost the fuck out of this stuff though.

You can really tell the difference between people actually pissed off and Republican faux outrage because it just flows.
Gotcha, I realize what you meant by that comment now. Internet reading is hard.
I just watched this again and no shit I am in tears laughing so hard. You couldn't script something better than this. Fuck my sides hurt jesus lmao
Imagine being some semi-wealthy career bureaucrat who's existed in a bubble of indifference, surrounded by yes-men for decades. The only time you interacted with the public was at meetings in some government building nobody wants to go to because traffic is terrible and because people are generally apathetic.
Then suddenly you're doing Zoom meetings because of a pandemic and a curfew, the streets are full of protestors, the cops are literally beating people on camera, and you're being publicly clowned on by person after person and it's all being broadcast to hundreds of thousands of people who are joining in dunking on you in the comments.
It's so delicious.
A few posts above you.
YESSSSSSSSSS
If nothing else positive comes of all this, at least I'll always be excited over "I yield my time, FUCK YOU". A slogan to live by.
This is some good shit. The way the moderator lady calmly comes in with the "...thank you Juan Ramirez." At the very end cracks me up.
So the whole thing was just them listening? I wish they were allowed to make some shitty comment at the end to see how much they don't care
Still it was great to force them to sit there for hours while being shat on by thousand of peoples

Oh, didn't think he was referencing something else. Idk, I don't think so. My bad tho
it's just a perfect send off when you combine it with the passionate "fuck you!"
Oh, okay.
Why are six (6) of the faces in that call white? (I assume they're all white.)
That needs to change to represent the city more.

los angeles realigned its elections to match state elections. the bad news is that garcetti serves 5.5 years instead of 4. the good news is that maybe, because it aligns with gubernatorial elections, higher turnout would result in better decisions for the people of los angeles. only about 17% of the electorate voted in garcetti due to low turnout.
More specifically, it's a term used in American politics when they're given time controls on questions. Each "side," Democrat and Republican has a certain amount of time in a debate, and if you make your point before your allotted personal time is up, you can "yield my time" back to the total time for your "side."
If you go to the end of this clip you can see an example of a member of congress doing this (sorry it's a shitty guy, haha): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8A9D7qaHLQ
In that specific instance, it doesn't have a lot of meaning, but it's funny because the guy is going on a profane tirade and acting "parliamentary" at the end.
We need women of color to run for all the offices available. Men, too, of course.
How do you halt white supremacy? Changing the faces at the top.

The first caller sounds like this guy!
there was a "tony hawk" at some point, wonder if it was the real one, someone named the same or just someone using an alias
I laughed so hard when I saw that last night that I woke my wife up.
