What did you mean then if police weren't actually killing protestors? Speak up now, because that is what you said.
"Killer Mike"
He identifies himself as a killer. I am so likely to take his word seriously, Neo. So serious, Imma call 911 and report his ass. Killer knows all about peace and protests and law enforcement that doesn't kill anyone because he obviously has experience. He totally stands out from all the other shit rappers that brag how they are ganster and off everybody who looks and them wrong or gets in they way. It wasn't a black culture that said a man's word is his bond, because I can't count as high as there are rappers who are full if it.
Neo. WTF is this shit?
I will edit to add more once I have listened to the full video. Prepare your anus, Neo.
Edit:
prison as the cornerstone of economics... right...
because prisoners aren't fucking treated better than US infantry soldiers. Because it doesn't cost taxpayers millions/billions to provide for prisoners.
Judging a book by the name on the spine, cool.
Also, prison-industrial complex. Ever heard of it?

"Police see a lot more of the worst in human behavior, they don't see the best. It's their job to protect us from the worst.
Hence why they see the worst more often than they see the best. Don't leave those few words out.
Using ex-military in the police. That has been true for a long time. Using military tactics? They are relevant to a police job. Militarizing police? Didn't he just acknowledge that they were hiring ex-military for the police?
You know damn well that hiring ex-military and having the police strapped to the teeth are different things.
An area policed by strangers.
Bitch, don't you realize how that means the area is policed by people who are unaware of local bias, racism, and hypocrisy? They see the situation without prior bias from the area. It isn't about the cops having prior bias, it's about the cops knowing the community that they police. When the neighborhood knows the cops, they can trust them, they don't fear the police. The police can also relate to the people of that community AND perform their job more effectively.Children do childish stuff. Police are human and make human mistakes.
"It's systematic" Oprah, Michael Jordan, LeBron, JayZ, Beyonce... they have these examples, but they're the exception. OK. They have far more people telling them to be different. Other rappers and gang members. Which is easier? To be talented and creative or anybody else? Clearly you completely missed what Mike had to say. A few people cannot represent and entire group of people. These people had very and I mean VERY special avenues open to them to get into their position.black males are the least looked upon. Okay. what values do black males profess? I can only look the the most obvious and blatant media examples: the rappers who talk about sex, weed, money. The dude who raps about taking your girl, shooting people, and driving fancy cars. Maybe that's not who they are, but that's what it says to me when popular artists become popular. You think anybody listening to that shit wants a thing to do with people who share those values? Get mean mugged and beat a nigga up? Fuck no. The people who have the money, who have power over the money making jobs... they don't want those kinds of people. They can't trust people who seem to have those values.Congratulations, you said the most racist thing in forum history. First, you make sweeping generalizations about two cultures that are intertwined, then you go onto say that a form of entertainment equates to our values. I guess white people are all about eating chicken fried steak, breaking up with women, and living in the backwoods, because that's the impression that country music gives off. I guess Latinos are all about partying and love songs because that's the impression their music gives off.
Then, after all that you have the gall to say 'nigga' and proceed to say that because of the music these people put out, and in turn the music that people listen to that 'nobody wants these kind of people because they can't trust people who share those values'. I wasn't aware that a) choice of music equated to one's values and
that one deserves economic disenfranchisement BECAUSE of what they listen to and the perceived values they hold."Violate the rights of an 18 yo african american child." The cop had little way of knowing his age. Even the parents said he looked older than he was. The way he said it you think he was conscious of the fact that he was african american and a child. Does age and race matter to anyone who is attacked? Certainly not the forefront of MY mind if I was out in public and had a disagreement with a stranger and got attacked.Way to focus on the wrong part of the fuckin' statement. The issue stands with the fact that his rights were violated. Race comes into play when you look at the long history this nation has with systematic racism.
The president said there is a perception and there is a reality.
"This 'thug life' has to end. It serves to fill cemeteries and prisons for foolishness." I couldn't agree more. The concept of 'Thug Life' was born out of complete distrust for the system. It encourages blacks to live their lives outside of that system and protect them and their own. So while I'm sure you agree with what the president said, I don't for a second believe you agree with why he said it.Oh, so he is killer Mike because he kills microphones. He's the first person I've heard to have a reasonable explanation for a name like that. With no background context OTHER THAN THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF RAPPERS BEFORE HIM, I thought the worst of him. What's in a name? Connotation. That is the goddam answer. Connotation.Wasn't aware you needed an explanation before passing judgement. Judging a book by what's on the spine is an easy way to get the wrong idea from the book.
Gangster rapper is tongue in cheek. Okay. Glad there was a waving flag that told me he was different from all the other fucking rappers out there.
Damn, bruh, you sure are good with that broom. More sweeping generalizations.
Replies in bold, and I apologize for fucking up the page formatting.

Unless 58+ people vote 'no, no wifi clause', I think it's safe to say that it'll be implemented in some form.
-
There wouldn't be riots because the cop would've been arrested. But because it's a black child that was killed, people fish for all kinds of excuses. 'He was a thug' 'He's from the ghetto anyway' 'He would've committed a crime anyway.' That's the problem.
-
In the same vein that moody and evasion are banned, Wifi clause should be enabled. It's about minimizing the game of chance and giving both players as close to an even field as possible.One of the reasons for having Wifi is the added chance for predictions and analysing the enemies team. Correct? Someone said that without it battles turns into a game of chance. I'm not gonna go look for that specific quote, but i have to ask what is wrong with a game of chance? I mean, you're already rolling the dice with the find battle button. There's no guarantee you'll find a competent player, and chance, in the form of Hax, is a gameplay element that can make or break a win.
-
Please, for the love the god. Present an argument other than 'I/other people don't like it'You don't seem to understand that some people simply don't like wifi, no matter what changes it may/may not bring. If they don't like it, they don't like it.
Rupe-wifi clause would affect lower tiers as well.
-
4 people cannot be used for any major measure when the server has 60+ people on average.
If the person doesn't want team preview, they don't have to ladder on the default ladder. The issue here is that the vast majority of people expect certain things from any ladder worth its salt, and one of them is Wifi clause.
-
Because a lot of people come to Reborn specifically BECAUSE there's no team preview.
You =/= a lot of people.
What really end up happening is that people get here, then they like to latch onto 'muh rebarn culture' (Again, something I'm guilty of in the past), and oppose any sort of change. Progress, in the right direction mind you, is good. This is a change that we should welcome in order to foster the growth of Reborn.
-
I encourage y'all to watch this interview with Killer Mike. He raises some very good points relating to the discussion that's occurred over the last few pages.
-
Welcome to Reborn.
p.s.I'm a grill ;^) -
Student riots? Like that guard station that got trashed? Or the random ass civil rights parades that keep me and several others from performing everyday essential life things? Or all these posters and cars and trucks that are still driving around today telling us that all cops are blood thirsty killers?
I must be blind! I need to see the light! Or start watching Fox News.
Also, blocking roads for peaceful protests? That isn't peaceful protest. That is grade A. Bullshit. If I wasn't with my grandparents at the time, I would have ran those dumb asses over. In a way. The cops are protecting these dumb ass protesters from Blunt and Sarcastic realists like myself.
Also, I do know America is corrupt. Every country and business organization in the whole damn world is corrupt. It is just that they are corrupt in ways that I don't give a crap about.
Also, this crap going on in Fergison isn't news. That place was already crap before it hit the news. The real issue is that the ignorant are being given knowledge that they don't know how to use or handle. And fun fact! Things along this nature happen all the fucking time. I keep bringing up events that you guys don't know too much about because this crap all happens all the time actually. I just keep mentioning the particular instances that happened locally. I am just kinda surprised that Erick doesn't know about some of the events I mentioned. Mael knew about them and he hasn't been in the area in years.
Nah, b. I keep up with all sorts of shit, it just wasn't 100% relevant to the discussion at hand, that being increased militarization of police and the problems it poses to citizens.
The shit that goes down with cops getting away with killing innocent people whether they be black, mexican, asian, or white pisses me off.
-
Golly, thanks for the contribution. The discussion is finally settled, wow, such a decisive final word.
-
And other people have specifically come here because of no preview.
Neo-one of the draws of reborn is that they do things differant;y, and don't just blindly follow other communities like sheep. Also, we all know about find battle-that's the problem. It takes no time at all to get a battle using that button, and if you lot get your way, I'm expecting a lot of 'can I haz battle' messages in chat.
Bruh, in the past I was the one of it then THE biggest supporter of "keep reborn different", however being for the sake of different can only get a community. Adopting a standard doesn't make you a sheep, it gives you room to grow by making the community accessible. It opens up our userbase to a wider array of people AND pushes reborn that much closer to being the big community that it wants to be.
-
Okay, since it's clear some of y'all are missing the point.
Unless that button is pressed, you DO NOT have to use Wifi clause. It won't affect anything BUT that one button and the battles that occur when its pressed.
-
You seem awfully okay with the increased militarization of police forces across America.
Also, while they DO have vehicles like that in Afg, they don't fucking put all the bells and whistles on them like the one shown in the pic. Notice the retweet "We didn't equip our MRAPs like this in Afghanistan"
-
I disagree. AO have shown enough dedication to their wifi that I'm pretty sure they'd play it amongst themselves.
Yeah, because we had them keep Clear Skies alive last gen.
No, that's fucking silly.
We've got an opportunity to NOT repeat the mistakes of last gen, so I say we take the chance and jump forward.(Despite being one of the biggest people against it, I can soundly say that the weather ban should've made its way to OU)
The ONLY arguments for wifi thus far have been "I don't like it" or "I don't like AO". It's clear that Wifi clause is the standard in the Pokemon world, a standard that transcends tier differences, so it makes perfect sense for Reborn to adopt this standard.
-
It seems like a certain someone in this thread is less pro-no preview and more anti-AO, which is really shitty reasoning when it comes to policy change. The default OU ladder needs to have wifi clause, otherwise nothing will come of it.

The kkk are staying in one spot and aren't looting at night. Police claim instigators hiding among the crowds and night doing things instigators do, instead of letting things get settled.
Protestors =/= Looters
Most people in the community are opposed to looting, don't start misconstruing things.
-
You don't just aim your fucking gun at something you don't intend to shoot.
And making history, Amnesty International observers are on the ground in the US for the first time ever.
If the announcement comes out tomorrow, and that cop isn't going on trial, then I fear for the worst.
-
It is real. Coke's started pushing out their products in all containers with League champs to hype up the Korean finals
-
So, about him charging that cop.
-
Please tell me how a lombre of the same lvl can do MORE damage with Fury Swipes then A Jolly Technician Meowth? and also how a Servine can 1 shot a Sassy venonat with Leaf Tornado? How is that possible? I hear SCMowns2's Steven Logic right here
What are IVs and Stats?
-
Autopsy lines up with testimonies that he put his arms up and surrendered to the police. It's also funny how the reason for arresting him changed from "He was in the street" to "He robbed a gas station".
EDIT:
The National Guard has been ordered to Ferguson. Shit is about to hit the fan.

Could've sworn you were trying to round up all the black guys of Reborn.

The autopsy report didn't prove the cop's innocence, where the fuck did you get that?
There are two possible conclusions from the autopsy results, so don't start misconstruing facts to support your viewpoint on the matter.
