- Can any photog’s explain why the photo looks like ? Looks coolGnash

- shot at such a high distance and zoomed in so it eliminates the illusion of perspective?_niko
- there's not even the illusion of perspective in this situation any more.Nairn
- CAPS LOCK BROKENutopian
- It's also a shot of a tv screenpango
- it's a picture of a TV screen... and the angle of the shot is from an helicopter giving the perfect video game angle. Guys...Bennn
- Exactly. Photo of screen.monospaced
- it's also a jpg. We have to note the compression artefacts. Obviously sRGB. 2048 x1283 square pixels, quite an odd sizing.shapesalad

The Geneva Protocol prohibits the use of tear gas, chemical and biological weapons in war.
President Trump used chemical weapons that are banned in war zones so that he could have his picture taken in front of a boarded-up church. He did not pray. He did not open the bible. He did not reflect. He did not ask for peace.
Chemical weapons on peaceful citizens. For a photo.
- That's cute ... expecting Trump or the US to respect the Geneva Convention. Bless.Continuity
- You can make flippant jokes all you want, man. This is history happening around us.nb

"I get why people are flipping out about using our military to quell the uprisings in American cities.
But try to remember this feeling next time you casually support deploying our military assets overseas to quell some remote conflict."

Police have started covering their badge numbers either with duct tape or "thin blue line" bands.
Seems as an attempt not to be held accountable later.
- They also did that in Toronto at the g7Gnash
- They did the same in MTL on student demonstrationsBennn
- and it's against the law i've heard, dont know if it's trueBennn
- Common police tactics worldwide.grafician
- And YES ofc it's against the law! So is shooting tear gas and beating people at random!grafician
- Trust in police will go down worldwide after this.grafician
- I can get WHY they do this, but it's fucking wrong and the optics are terrible. Especially the use of the 'thin blue line' motif.Nairn

I hope this evening will go OK ... I can't imagine situations of the army starting shooting people... that would be terrible
- don't worry, when American soldiers refuse to fire on their own countrymen, Trump'll outsource his goons from his pal Vladimir._niko

Police aiming at face and shooting cannisters, good thing they seems to have missed her... Its illegal to aim at the head and they're very close wtf

- the sickness of capitalism. Fuck all these luxury brands._niko
- Luxury brands are businesses, that give people jobs, the help families eat. They target a specific market segment.shapesalad
- ...What's that got to do with a policeman murdering a man of a different race?shapesalad
- Yeah it wasn‘t just happening to big luxury brands but many small businesses and mom & pop stores that got looted too.NBQ00
- Big brands I can understand, shit as it is, so not agree with - it's an easy reflex. Local stores, absolutely not. Big fuckers are insured to the hilt anyway.Nairn
- This is the trickle down economy in action. Hopefully all these people can sell their LV tat online and use the money to do something useful in their livesNairn
- well its people under 30 in that video. when you're young you want stuff, but have no income/job, no concept of value, just you want...shapesalad

Gotta say that it is quite beautifully coincidental that a big chunk of the population's masked up anyway.

- that smirk on his face when he rise that bible... so fakeBennn
- lololol that music! REALITY: https://www.youtube.…nb
- "Is that YOUR bible?"
Trump: "It's... 'a' bible."nb - I really thought he might deliver an historic defining speech yesterday.
It's good they showed him heading back to the bunker though.PhanLo - @nb aye :) I saw that here earlier so seeing this now was.. i mean.. i don't even know.
It's the official WH account.
It's laughable. But, really, not.Nairn - Is it helpful for his "Christian" support that he is in front of a "Catholic" church? These groups don't seem friendly in my experience.R_Kercz
- this is what it's come down to. no leadership, no answers, no solutions...just stick your head up your ass and pray. lol_niko
- @R_Kercz you do Trump a massive credit to suggest that anything like such a consideration passed through his wholly impious being. It's all just X, right?Nairn
- ..'That demographic I desperately need'.Nairn
- a church is a church is a church.ben_

- tell the joke again, please :)monospaced
- Cuz 2020 such a disaster year and ‚2012‘ movie is a disaster movie duh :)NBQ00

The only good protest is a dead protest.

- Looks like we all know who would've been volunteering for duty at the concentration camps.nb
- I'm suppose this was some sort of attempt at an ironic joke. Or maybe not. Maybe it was sincere. Either way, I'm in a foul mood. Have a fucking downvote.Continuity

No one's a winner here.Nairn - The end ultra violence by the fucking police notwithstanding.Nairn

Meanwhile, the Rt Hon Justin P J Trudeau, ladies and gentlemen.
Prime Minister of Canada, and professional French-kisser of Donald Trump's arsehole.https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-…
- Ball-less cunt.Continuity
- Probably because he's not blinded by tribalistic biases like most in the USMondoMorphic
- That means nothing to the topic at hand.
Threatening military action on your own citizenry deserves condemnation. There's no more nuance to it than that.Continuity - But hey, I guess he's happier felching Putin's wad out of Trump's arse.Continuity
- Trumps' bunker bitchutopian
- A foreign leader REFUSES to say the words you are putting in his mouth. Shocking.monNom
- Threatening military action on criminals when all other efforts fail, to be specificMondoMorphic
- why would any leader get in the middle of this shit? there is nothing to gainspot13
- fact that he was silent for an extended period of time while he thought about his answer immediately makes his one of the better statements from a politicianFax_Benson
- CNN is way off-base with that headline. I'm sure whoever was forced to post it shed a tear inside.nb
- Trudeau is basically saying, "we need to listen" and "let he without sin cast the first stone" which really is a pretty decent (and diplomatic) way to respond.nb
- did we see the same video ? https://edition.cnn.…urbanturban
- knocked it out of the parkurbanturban
- he took exactly 21 sec to answer something, 21 sec of silence that spoke a lot... he cant say what he want, there's too much at play between US and CANBennn
- He would do similar. G7 2010 wasn’t under his watch and not nearly as brutal, but our govt used it as an opp to play war games. Would repeat.ben_

You know how the CIA is really tight with all the social media companies.
and how during the Arab Spring there was all this popular uprising coordinated via social media...
and how all those countries were shutting off their internet...
You know how other countries have their own version of the CIA...
and how there are foreign/domestic bot networks used to try to sway elections, advance agendas, and cause general polarization across regional/ethnic/political/religi... lines.
and how everyone has their own little filter-bubble where there are different 'facts' for different people depending where you get your news, what gets shared, what "influencers" you follow etc...
Given the above, how much of this is an organic popular revolt around a terrible police incident, and how much of this is the result of coordinated 3rd-parties fanning the flames and triggering people who are being wound up via social-media? (and agents provocateurs within the riots)
We all know how much our emotional mood effects our perception/reaction to situations. With a constant level of stress across a large enough group of people, you can probably get a pretty predictable outcome when you turn the heat up.
I don't know if any of that is actually happening, or if it is, who might be behind it (foreign? domestic? terrorists? governments?). But it is all a bit suspicious, and we ought to be wary we aren't amplifying for someone else's agenda.
The drumbeat is always about "your government is illegitimate, your institutions are corrupt, you can't trust authority, the police won't protect you, other races hate you, you are alone".
I don't see how any of that benefits America, but getting citizens to burn their own country to the ground without firing a shot seems like the ultimate tactic in warfare.
- Somebody is clearly organizing the riots, capitalizing on the protests and do nothing but damage and undermine the very important actual cause.MondoMorphic
- ...not sure if it's other countries or power brokers within the US, but it is happening.MondoMorphic
- Of course, the internet is a huge player on many levels now. There's a silent war happening on the internet. People are playing with our minds over there.Bennn
- tactic as old as time itself. The average person is too dumb to realize it. Then again, so is the President._niko
- Perfect storm scenario...grafician
- There are probably manipulators and foreign actors egging on the two sides, but I don't think you can fabricate an entire uprising out of nothing.yuekit
- Keep in mind, everyone always accuses the other side of being astroturfed. Right wing said Occupy Wall Street was fake, liberals said the Tea Party was fake.yuekit
- China says Hong Kong protests are fake and orchestrated by the USA, Russia said the same thing about Ukraine. And in all of these cases, there is some evidenceyuekit
- you can point to, but it's easy to exaggerate the impact. Racial protests for example have been happening for long time in the US, long before the internet.yuekit

- and yuekit race has nothing to do with it. this shit wasnt even racially motivated in anyway. an accidental death with a drugged up low offender********
