09:42 – I see there was more rioting and looting in Seattle. Not surprising, considering that it’s one of the more “progressive” (i.e., suicidal) cities in the country. After the DA in Baltimore filed felony criminal charges against six cops on evidence barely adequate for misdemeanor civil charges, I’m surprised the Seattle cops bothered to respond at all. We’re at the point now where an awful lot of big-city cops are retiring if they’re eligible and looking elsewhere if they’re not. If they keep handcuffing their cops, sometimes literally, those big cities are toast.
We need to return to the old arrangement: the cops leave middle-class people alone and spend their time beating and shooting underclass people. Whatever it takes to keep them in their own areas and away from normal people. In return the middle-class people make sure the cops aren’t prosecuted for doing what it takes to keep the scum in their place. That’s how it’s been for more than a century, and that’s how it needs to be again. Of course, that’s not going to happen, which is why the big cities are toast, with the medium cities not far behind.
More science kit stuff today.
