Day 74


This picture is the perfect metaphor for 2020.

  1. "It only affects the elderly and those with underlying conditions!"
  2. "They should be proud to give up their life to get the economy going again!"
  3. "No lives matter!"
After the City of Buffalo suspended without pay the two cops who shoved 75-year-old Martin Gugino onto the ground during a protest on Thursday, putting him in the hospital (serious but stable condition),  the entire 57-person Emergency Response Team resigned in protest.  They're still fully-paid Buffalo police, mind you, they only resigned from the ERT, not the BPD.  

Proving that at this point, the cops are nothing but just another street gang, more interested in backing each other than the people they're supposed to protect and serve, the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association backed the 57 walk-offs and claimed that the two suspended officers were only following orders.  "This is an example of officers doing exactly what they're supposed to," according to the association president.  Look at that picture and then think of those words.  We should thank the Buffalo police for proving that thuggish police brutality is a real thing and not some liberal conspiracy.  

Discussing the latest jobs report in a news conference this morning, which showed that unemployment had dropped to "only" 13%, our so-called "president" actually said “Hopefully, George [Floyd] is looking down right now and saying, ‘This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.’ There’s a great day for him, it’s a great day for...everybody.”  

If you need proof that black lives don't matter to Trump, just think that at the height of the protest movement and just the day after George Floyd's funeral, he was willing to use Floyd's death as a prop to demonstrate what a great job Trump thinks he's doing.

Oh yeah, and the LAPD shot an unarmed, homeless man in a wheelchair.
