[UPI] The Rev. Al Sharpton asked for support for the family of George Floyd and called for police reform at a funeral service Tuesday at The Fountain of Praise church in Floyd's hometown of Houston.
"We must commit to all of this family. When the last TV truck is gone, we'll still be here," Sharpton said.
The minister thanked former U.S. President Barack Obama and athletes and celebrities who had reached out to Floyd's family, including actor Jamie Foxx and singer Al B. Sure!, who were in the congregation.

Don't worry. Officer Chauvin will very likely spend the rest of his life in prison. His life won't be worth a plugged nickel there.
That will not be enough to satisfy Sharpton and the BLM crowd, though.

They want blood, not justice. But you knew that already.

Display of their nouveau riche status as beneficiaries of white guilt, and pointing the way to other blacks of how to work race as a cash cow and protection racket.
[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] “If I go get my nails done — which I don’t do, you can probably tell — but, if I did, the person who is handling my nails is licensed by the state,” the mayor said. “If I go get a haircut, the barber is licensed by the state.” When my son went through the police academy, he got a uniform, and when he finished the course he got a badge and an assignment. The badge and the uniform are valid only within Maryland, except for special occasions when out of state. I'd call that a bit like a beautician's license, only on a lot more serious plane. Maybe Chicago should start with its police academy?

Of course, having "licenses" for professions like beauticians is usually just a way for rent seekers to keep out the competition.

Won't matter if she keeps them sidelined like she's been doing so far.

They'll do it like any other Human Resource office, farm it out to colleges to credential it. You got the magic piece of paper, you're in (not that you learned anything useful or has practical application).

Chicago needs to start by clearing the upper ranks of their PD. It's filled with people qualified only by their connections, and they look after people who will help them keep power. They give their cronies the material for promotional exams, use the merit promotions for those willing to put out, and carefully manage internal affairs to keep their people out of trouble.

Sounds to me that this is a way to prevent independent citizens from setting up as police.
I read it as one more way to *bleep* with the cops. After getting acquitted in court, the state or city could still revoke their license. Rather like the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs did with that barber in Owosso who refused to close.
#15
We should license politicians. Part of the requirements is that they agree if they tell a lie, they lose their license and get burned to death in the public square.
#17
An annual, renewal fee and state agency license guarantees that any police officer can be denied renewal, by the centralized state agency, on an annual basism and therefore, every officer has a career only a long as he is renewed each year. Once it is created, control of the police is centralized in a single place, and careers as based on not having complaints or disputes that give basis for non-renewal, or probationary renewal. So your career and pension are based on pleasing the licensing agency of state government, and making sure you don't create adverse complaints. See the pattern....neutered and pliant police who will meet the unwritten standards of the mob they serve!
#18
but couldn't the city just fire anyone they had a complaint with?
It is a way from someone else to fire the cop in question if the city/police department won't do it. Illinois Governor Pritzker's thoughts:
We’ve been looking hard at (licensing),” Pritzker said Monday. “I think that you have to think about what are the methods by which people can be disciplined if they’re not going to get disciplined by their own police departments
[MLIVE] The language in a petition to recall Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender... for the signing of nine of her executive orders during the COVID-19 pandemic has been approved by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers.
Albion resident Chad Baase, 39, was successful in his third attempt at coming up with "clear and factual" language to move forward with the recall petition process. He and his group -- the Committee to Recall Governor Gretchen Whitmer -- must come up with more than 1 million signatures from registered voters in 60 days or less to trigger a recall election.
"She didn’t put through effective measures with COVID to ensure businesses didn’t have to close their doors," Baase said. "Some places couldn’t social distance under the federal guidelines, but many businesses could have stayed open with safety guidelines in place and were forced out of work.
"You can’t take away someone’s income and say you’re eligible for pandemic unemployment but then you can’t speak with anyone. I’m still waiting on my unemployment. They owe me 10 weeks."
The Board of State Canvassers unanimously approved the recall language Monday, June 8, during a virtual meeting. The four-member bipartisan group unanimously approved the language, but rejected two other attempts to begin recall petitions, including a second petition to recall Gov. Whitmer and one to recall Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Petition language submitted by Baase, and approved by the board, lists out nine executive orders. They include the governor’s March 10 state of emergency declaration to the order and multiple orders that call for the temporary suspension of business and activities not deemed essential to maintain or protect life.

[NYPOST] The city will paint its roadways and rename streets in each borough to honor the Black Lives Matter movement, Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... announced Tuesday."It’s time to do something officially representing this city to represent the fundamental power of Black Lives Matter," de Blasio said during his daily City Hall press briefing as he was surrounded by a group of social justice activists.
The mayor said the Big Apple will "name streets in each borough and to paint the words on the streets of this city in each borough at a crucial location — one of which will be here near City Hall — that black lives matter."
The announcement comes after thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets of the city for more than a week to protest the May 25 killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop, as well as police brutality.
"We don’t want to have to name a street, but I’m glad that we are," Iesha Sekou, the founder and CEO of Street Corner Resources, an anti-violence organization, said during the press briefing.
Sekou added, "We also want to make sure that police are not allowed to act the way we’ve been seeing."
"We’re looking very much forward to holding the police accountable for their behavior," she said.

All these years (since 9/11) I wondered why USA bends over & spread them for Muslims - no more, it's an ingrained habit.

#1 we are reaping the consequences of not holding the Left responsible for when the Wall fell. Those institutions should have been purged of the losers or dismantled. It is just like the Western Europeans who did nothing while Germany rearmed in the 30s.
Just what we need, more empty symbolic grandstanding to distrtact the poor schlubs from the fact that the Dems havent done a damned thing for them, while trump had their unemployment at historical lows, etc. Anything to keep them from thinking, and keep them depending on the government.

Is there any part of NYC left that remembers being ashamed of this travesty that is your city government and Mayor? Is there nothing you will not tolerate? I'm all the way out in rural Nevada now and I'm ashamed for you...
[FOXNEWS] Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News' Bret Baier in an exclusive interview aired Tuesday that Americans will be able to recognize "some" of the names under investigation as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing probe into federal surveillance abuses -- and that he is "very troubled" by "what has been called to" his attention so far.
Barr asserted that despite the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic, the Durham team "has been working very aggressively to move forward," and that there "will be public disclosure" of his findings. Part one of Baier's interview with Barr aired on Monday.

Just fuckin' get it done, guys. I'm tired of this shit.

Oh, I don't know. Lockdown and insurrection have sort of been opening acts. This may or may not be the main event to play late summer/early fall, to bring the 'house down' so to speak. The one to break the leash and let the hounds loose.

Barr said he didn't anticipate that Obama and Biden would be among the "familiar names." Seems wrong to me but maybe I'm missing the bigger picture..
