if there wasn't video the cause of death would've been COVID-19.

Yeah. The reopenings had seen new cases spiking, mostly in the south over the last couple weeks.
Unless Covid-19 has burnt itself out like some Spanish and Italian doctors have suggested (new cases apparently have far less viral load there), America is in for a rough June.
So funny seeing clowns who were furious that some people wouldn’t stay home and protect the at risk, now out protesting, without a mention of the virus. Some idiot got mad at me for going out bouldering throughout April and May, because I could get injured and strain the hospital system lol

it’s probably not as bad as it could have been but 100k deaths is a lot, though in the US it needs to be a couple million to take anything seriously
people conveniently forget that public health officials said “ if we handle this thing correctly, it will seem as if the reaction was blown out of proportion “

My problem starts with the authorities. Retarded policies, retarded outcomes.

So how is this "no more police" going to work in these cities? Minneapolis city council is thinking about defunding the police there. LA Mayor Garcetti announced instead of a major budget hike for LAPD, he is going to slash funding.
These cities are already crime ridden, well, LA is anyway, so what is the politicians excuse going to be be when crime doesn't change and gets worse?
What the fuck are they to gain out of this?

i dont think they are actually thinking that far ahead lol.
Having said that I wonder how much of this is because it is an election year combined with millions of students out of school/ work due to quarantine and the opportunity for public figures/ major companies to cash in on wokeness.
My question is do you guys think this will bring about significant societal change (either positive ie significant criminal justice reform or negative signifcant economic damage breakdown of a cohesive society) or be largely over with and forgotten come 2021?

I think you’re right about this being a conglomeration of things rather than a single issue, definitely a lot going on out there
eventually, SLC police have been pretty open to reforms and changes to make them better servants to the community. Tonight the curfew was lifted.
historically, these things work if you do it long enough. When MLK was killed people rioted for 5 days straight and the civil rights act was passed but that was a result of decades of struggle, so I guess the answer to your question is maybe. It really just depends on your city

Seriously this is ridiculous! These cops are just deliberately escalating the problem:

I really hope that these cops get charged with this. I still can't believe how they can be so inhuman! A 75 year old man! really!

So sorry to hear that, Cam.
It's not that hard to follow though. When having to choose between the threat of COVID-19, with a 0.2% mortality rate for people under 30, versus the mortality rate from overaggressive police in black communities, COVID seems like an annoyance at best.
Not only that, but a lot of this is almost somewhat predictable, given the historical relationship between disease lockdowns and social unrest (https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicole...rotests-amid-pandemic-lockdowns/#4a2edd1414a6). <-- note this was published March 21, at the beginning of lockdowns
Some parts of the defunding idea suggest it's better and more cost effective to address social problems before they happen. America loves the punishment, but we are loathe to fund preventative investments for often a lot less money and murder victims as a result.
But defunding the police is also counter to what most predominantly black neighborhoods want, which is why it's especially smacks of wannabe woke white people trying to speak for the black experience.
Which isn't to say the cops have tons of abuses to be accountable for. But it has shown in Baltimore after the police pullback following Freddie Gray's death and the so-called "Ferguson effect". And while I can't find the research citation unfortunately, I did recently read a couple of surveys that suggested the majority of blacks who suffered police abuse still wanted a greater, not less of a, police presence in their neighborhoods.
