I Googled Proud Boys and the first definition is "The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist".

You really tryna downplay what they are? Especially you, Pony. Aren't you Hispanic? You know Proud Boys are Pro-White right?

Can we just fast forward to the end where cops own up to it and fairness is distributed

No?

Okay...

If you do you'll end up like Adam Sandler in Click.

who was it?

edit: nevermind, just looked it up. Should not have been only warned given it's main is still in purgatory.

I do not know why this is news. I do not know who the "Proud Boys" are exactly but I imagine they are supportive of the police? Is it really news that the police would want to avoid hurting some of the few people they feel do not hate them at this point?

PSA - I am not arguing the validity of the hatred towards the police, simply stating a fact that people are more likely to be willing to hurt people who hate them.

did you ignore the topic on purpose? they're neo-nazis who are protesting against minorities and the cops concern was warning them about tear gas and impending arrests (pre planning arrests is really odd too) because they didn't want it to look like "they were playing favorites"...and you don't see any sort of reason for concern there?

they're literally a white supremacist group

do you just go into every topic, not read half of it, and then pick the worst possible stance?

I read it. It doesn't change the point. The cops are in the wrong for warning them but why is it surprising that they did warn them?

He's taken this approach to every single topic about this movement. He's basically played Devil's Advocate for every single article or whatever that's been posted. He's basically the Unfair Represent of this shit.

I'm tempted to ask who everyone is talking about, but at the same time I'm sure I can comfortably continue with not knowing.

Why hasn't a gigantic petition started to unredact this investigation so we can learn what the fuck is going on and what information we're missing. How old does it have to be before we can do that? Freedom of Information and all that.

It's surprising to me because if the police are trying "not to play favorites", why would they then do that to a white supremacist group of all groups?

I wouldn't call it playing Devil's Advocate or "sea-lioning," I looked that up so I know what it means now. It is really more just being in awe at the powers of deductive reasoning on this board, and places like Twitter and Reddit in general right now.

This video is 20 seconds long. At no point in the video is there any proof the men the cop is talking to are members of the Proud Boys. At no point in the video is there any proof that, even if you could prove they are Proud Boys, the cop knows they are members. This is a video of a police officer warning a man with a gun to stay inside to avoid violating curfew, presumably other men as well since he says "you guys." This video shows that the police officer is indeed playing favorites with whoever these men are. That is all this video shows.

The men in the video may be members of the Proud Boys and the caption may be exactly what the video shows. The problem here is that you all are taking the caption of a video posted on Reddit as 100% true information. This proves the cops, are at least this specific cop, are playing favorites with a group. The video doesn't have any evidence as to who that group is. Any inferences you make past that are just guesses. They may be right but to act like this video and the caption are proof is wrong.

One person accusing me of being warned at some point, when I do not believe I have ever been warned and my post history will show that, and another person telling me to shut up. Sick discussion, guys.

---

What about the fact that it literally is the Patriot Prayer group and that's a fact and has been reported on, and the Police Chief has commented on it and said that it did happen and no one ever even sort of says that it's not the Proud Boys. Like that's been proven and isn't debated at all.

I mean you would know that if you even did any sort of digging on this clip at all but you wouldn't do that, you just wanted to play the piece of shit fucking contrarian that you really are.

I didn't get modded. Nothing I posted was against the ToU and if it offended anyone, I do apologize. I deleted the messages because they were so stupid that I could not believe I posted them.

So did you answer your question from earlier ("why is it surprising that they did warn them?")?
