I read through ESR's post after you mentioned it and you're right, it's an excellent write-up. He picked up on a number of important details that I missed, especially concerning the fact that Laquan McDonald had non-trivial levels of PCP in his system.

Worth looking int the podcast "White Girl Bleed a Lot"

I read the book earlier this year. It was a real eye-opener. I didn't realise just how bad the problem of black-on-white violence really is. It puts the whole BLM movement into real perspective. Here they are protesting over specific examples of supposedly egregious white racially motivated violence against blacks, when in reality blacks are committing crimes in vastly higher numbers, to a far greater degree of violence, against whites and Asians.

Nevertheless, the overall point – the shit the grievance mongers blow up is rarely the "good kid" – and the few legit cases don't blow up, likely because most people go "yeah, the cop screwed up"

Pretty much. And it's becoming apparent that screaming "RACISS!!!" at people who don't agree with the narrative is losing its power. It would appear that people are realising that the narrative is wrong, and that the cognitive dissonance between what the media tells them is true, and what is actually happening, is increasing by the day.

The choking case in NY was unreasonable on the part of the police, but even the daughter admitted it likely wasn't a racist thing but her father being to proud/full of himself to submit and back off, and the cops trying to get him to comply.

The fact that NY's cig tax laws compelled them to address the complaint by the owner of the shop he was in front of….

Nah.

The most recent shooting – Eric Raymond has a good post. It really depends on how the shooting went, but given the ranges/etc. involved, the behavior, and the knife, it seems taking him down was legit.

The question is did the cop just KEEP shooting from adrenaline dump, or stop, then decide to "make sure?"

And the cops who covered it up need to be disciplined.

Other than that? Yeah, saint Trayvon and Saint Michael are false myths and narratives that are going to get more blacks killed.

There's also one in N Charleston that was pretty fucking stupid – cop shot a guy trotting away (and taxed, couldn't run any faster).

That said, N CHS has a bad rep in the area, whereas the downtown and other area forces are professional.

Worth looking int the podcast "White Girl Bleed a Lot" – even if after a bunch of episodes it's more and more of the same. Worth it for that realization alone, as well as "unpromulgated" details of major events that DO make the news.

Nevertheless, the overall point – the shit the grievance mongers blow up is rarely the "good kid" – and the few legit cases don't blow up, likely because most people go "yeah, the cop screwed up"

It's only in recent years that I've noticed just how full of SJW nonsense The Dark Knight Strikes Again really was. I went through years of denial pretending that it was a good graphic novel- but then I read All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, and… oh dear. Couldn't deny it any more.

Thing is, it's actually hard to get a read on what Frank Miller really thinks. The guy's work and statements in public contradict the notion that he's some bleeding-heart progressive. Yet the quality of that same writing has been declining for years, going well into libtard territory.

He's come a LONG way down from seminal works like 300, Ronin, and of course his original work in the Batverse, to "I'm the goddamn Batman". And the sad thing is, it's all happened in the space of like the last 15 years…

The Dark Knight Strikes Back, the second in this series was a piece of shit and the sjwness was bleeding through. And I loved the The Dark Knight Returns.

It sullied the DKR. And Millers try hard effort in making Robin the big bad (as much as I dislike Robin) that turn was lame. It wasn't a surprise, it was a disappointment.

And he was making statements that Carrie Randal is smarter that Bruce Wayne and that's SJW equalism right there.

I will not read it, haven't read a DC comic in years
