@Lash,
You realise all your new article said a rehash of the previous, where:
- a reporter claims false arrest, and other reporters take that at face value and complain
- the police department is looking into it (which they likely do for all complaints, so it is meaningless in terms of guilt or innocence of the police); and
- (the only new bit) the bank apologised for making the trespass complaint to police & no longer wants anything to do with it

Not a thing you quoted in the next article changed anything I said - there will be body worn evidence and "Unlawful arrest also means unlawful assault. The police attending would likely face prosecution and lose their jobs, and for police - risk spending jail time for such a blatant breach of civil rights. It is highly unlikely this is the case, which means by far the mostly likely truth is, your journo is flat out lying."

Just because someone makes a claim, does not mean they are telling the truth (pretty sure you admit this, at least if the person is a democrat). Your politics has a LOT of vested interests.

@vikorr,
I think you’re nuts. I won’t be reading anything else you post.

@Lash,
Like all previous responses you have given like this....you don't / can't explain your claims, your thoughts, your logic, your grounds, your reasons.

What you did do, was scream racism (when only you raised race as an issue, while I talked solely about the law & evidence that would exist), then then cry 'you're nuts'...with no reasons provided by you...just you throwing out allegations. As I said before, when you are challenged, your replies lack substance.

You want to believe a narrative, but don't bother looking at it beyond 'it agrees with me'. You can believe that, but it is dishonest via ommission (of any test by yourself as to its truth)

Mick Lynch, speaking on the intentional defunding of and collapse of so called essential workers’ jobs — and the state run media’s demonization of the workers left in this cruel, impossible situation. Listen for the blame-assigning biased language in these ‘news segments’. The ‘corrupt union boss’ trope is fact based in many cases in my opinion, but this situation is being orchestrated for a specific purpose—by governments— and that purpose will affect you.

Inform yourself of what’s happening to hospitals, school, and all forms of transport across the world. Support workers. Don’t buy the bias. Find independent news sources to get government lies out of your head.

Support workers. Strike with them. That’ll be you out there soon enough.

Conspicuously absent – Joe Biden!

Anyway, it might pay to be skeptical of these "allegations", considering the source:

Overall, we rate Redacted Right Biased and Questionable based on promoting conspiracies, pseudoscience, propaganda, false claims, and failed fact checks.

Do you think they might be pushing a particular narrative? What's Whitney's net worth?

Dutch police disperse thousands protesting against lockdown measures

Story by Reuters
Published 9:28 AM EST, Sun January 2, 2022

Excerpt:

Riot police with batons and shields tried to break up a crowd of several thousand who had gathered in the Dutch capital on Sunday to protest against Covid-19 lockdown measures and vaccinations.

Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema issued an emergency ordinance, empowering police to clear the central Museum Square, after the protesters violated a ban on holding public gatherings during the latest wave of coronavirus infections.

The protesters, who mostly did not wear masks and broke social distancing rules, also ignored an order not to hold a march and walked along a main thoroughfare, playing music and holding yellow umbrellas in a sign of opposition to the government measures.

Several US & Canada Flights To Mexico Canceled Amid Civil Unrest
Riley Pickett - 51m ago

Excerpt:

Several US and Canadian Air carriers have decided to cancel select flights to Mexico following civil unrest in the state of Sinaloa. The decision to cancel flights comes after an Aeromexico flight and two Mexican Air Force planes were shot at last week. The airlines have stated that flights will be resumed once the threat to public safety has been neutralized.

Peru anti-government protesters clash with police in Puno
Protesters demand resignation of President Dina Boluarte, who took office last month after the removal of Pedro Castillo.

Excerpt:

Dozens of anti-government protesters have clashed with police in southern Peru amid renewed unrest in the wake of the removal and detention of former President Pedro Castillo.

The protesters attempted to take over the airport and police used tear gas to disperse them, the Reuters news agency reported. Demonstrators set fire to a police tank outside the Inca Manco Capac airport in Juliaca, in Peru’s Puno region late on Friday, according to local media reports and images circulating on social media.

Demonstrations against the new President Dina Boluarte resumed this week after a two-week pause. In December, there were violent clashes, leaving 22 people dead, after Castillo was impeached, arrested and placed in detention.

Are you now starting to post historic events?
Look for some pics and stories of the Patriottentijd, interesting and instructive.

@Walter Hinteler,
The same thing happened with the far right in the 80s over here.

The National Front ended up emulating some fringe Romanian revolutionary from the early 20th Century.

Timothy Snyder speaks: episode 2, America defeats America. 5 years ago.

"The way that Mr Trump worked was as a fictional character. ...there is no Mr Trump successful businessman. That person never walked the earth. There is Mr Trump, successful entertainer. There is Mr Trump, purveyor of spectacle."

"... beginning about the 1980s, we began to think of news as entertainment, we merged the two."

" When communism came to an end in 1989 in Europe or in Russia when communism came to an end in 1999, what America said was, aha, the Communist story is wrong. It's not true that there will be Marxism in the future. All right, it's true, there won't be. But, what we also told ourselves was, our story is right, and what was our story? Our story was in like in the 80s Thatcher, Reagan. Our story was, capitalism leads to democracy, therefore the more capitalism , the more unregulated capitalism the more democracy we're going to get. What was the problem with that story? The problem with that story was it generated tremendous inequality, and that inequality made the United States much more like Russia than we might have expected. What happened in Russia was that early attempts to reform communism fails, oligarchs seize most of the wealth, and then Mr Putin at the head of one oligarchical clan is able to concentrate the wealth in the hands of himself and a few other people. That leads to a situation where 1% of the Russian people on 87% of the wealth."

" In the US the story is more complicated....
What happens is the worker productivity increases but the salaries do not. What happens is that the wealth concentrates in the hands of a few Americans. ...when you get to 2015-2016 1% of Americans own about 76% of American wealth."

A strike - in Germany - means that several employees jointly refuse to fulfil the employment contract in order to persuade the striking employer or an employers' association to make concessions.

A strike is therefore
- the joint refusal to work by several workers,
- which is intended to force the employer (or an employers' association) to make concessions, and
- not preceded by a dismissal by the strikers.


My "employer" is the statutory pension insurance agency.
I don't have a legal right to strike.

@Walter Hinteler,
Maybe I should be more precise in my wording.
Do you support other workers organizing to strike and striking against what they consider to be an unfair situation at work?

You’re not running for public office, Walter. You can give a straight answer.

@Lash,
Both my wife (IG Metall ["Industrial Union of Metalworkers'"]) and I (ver.ti ["United Services Trade Union"]) are trade union members.
So we support strikes at least with our membership fees.

What is your attitude toward workers who go on strike?
