Interesting. So, when will the D.C. AG be offering the same deal to the conservative Patriots who protested at the Capitol and were arrested? Regards 18DAI

A young college student held his own and spoke the plain truth.



https://hotair.com/john-s-2/20...hes-on-leave-n387166

Braden Ellis is a student studying business at a community college in southern California. Ellis gave a presentation for a required communications class in which he criticized cancel culture and argued that police should be seen as heroes

After the presentation, the adjunct professor who was running the communications class started an argument with Ellis, asking him what he was trying to say about police. The whole argument, which was took place on Zoom, was recorded

The professor starts with the claim that policing arose from fugitive slave patrols. She says it’s “the whole reason we have police departments in the first place.”

When Ellis suggested police are heroes she replied, “All of them?” Ellis says no to that but argues that the majority are doing their best to serve the community.

The professor actually brings it back around to Paw Patrol. “You’re saying police officers should be revered, viewed as heroes? They belong on TV shows with children?” she said.

Ellis once again says they should because they come to help people in need. And this is the point where the professor says she wouldn’t call the police even if her life were being threatened by someone else. “My life’s in more danger in their presence,” she said. At that point, the professor is clearly agitated and just tries to wrap up the discussion as quickly as possible.

The professor, who hasn’t been named, has now taken a leave of absence for the remainder of the semester, so she won’t be there when Ellis returns to class Monday.

Thanks Ripley, I laughed my balls off after a long week!

SDY ^^^this professor is obviously lacking the googler...where even the left leaning SNOPES says “ In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed by New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore in 1857 (Harring 1983, Lundman 1980; Lynch 1984). By the 1880s all major U.S. cities had municipal police forces in place.” and doesn’t mention slaves .....ummmmmm maybe said professor needs to STFU

The "Slave Patrols" origin has been re-written in many sources, it seems. My own department included. It's rather stupid.

Riot season has been a bust so far. I don't watch sports anymore so riot season has been my go to. They need to spice it up.

How does a 20 something become a college professor? She's too young to have much knowledge about anything other than what HER college professors indoctrinated her with and here she is trying to indoctrinate another person with her ridiculous and incorrect viewpoint of the police. She's too young and stupid to even realize she doesn't even know what she doesn't know nor is she honest enough to admit that she could be wrong. I'll guarantee you one thing though, She is one of the goofs we see on television dressed in black wearing a black mask trying to burn down police stations or courthouses across this country such as what we see in Seattle or Portland on a daily basis.

To be fair, she's an adjunct. That means she's essentially a wage slave for the university. She works for a pittance per class and likely gets no benefits. If you do the math, she might well make the equivalent of minimum wage. She also only teaches the lowest level gen-ed classes.

She also, as seems to be indicated that she didn't come back the next day, has no job protections from tenure.

But, to your question, yeah, mid- to late 20s is not at all unusual for this kind of job. Assuming she has a PhD (probably a 4-5 year program) and went straight from undergrad to grad school, she should be around 25-26.

That doesn't address your larger question, but her age is not unusual for the position.

The problem with it is the “Professor” wasn’t expecting to meet any resistance in her statements. I imagine she believed she would be proclaimed a forward thinker by her students. When the lie fell apart and it became obvious someone was going to think for themselves, she did not know how to react, respond or cope to anything outside her echo chamber.

Which is not entirely uncommon and surprising that she did not start screaming at him.

I would argue that it does.

Who would be a 20-something adjunct professor? Someone whose transition to adulthood basically consisted of going to high school, then going directly to college, then going directly into a Master's program, then going directly into a PhD program without ever really stepping outside the ivory tower of academia. Anyone else could all too easily be in their 30s or older when they started teaching.

Who would work for an adjunct professor's pay? A 20-something whose transition to full adulthood consisted of going straight through from high school freshman to newly-minted PhD.

Who would believe the crap she spewed? A 20-something whose transition to full adulthood exclusively consisted of going straight through to from high school freshman to newly-minted PhD.

How good a job did she do of becoming an adult? Well, she never really entered actual adulthood. All she can do is echo what she heard while trying to put an new and interesting-sounding spin on it in hopes of advancing her career.

Antifa rioters go wild in Portland for May Day protests despite mayor pledging to 'unmask' the anarchist mobs

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...s-fought-police.html

Two riots of about 30 and 100 people vandalized businesses and government buildings in Portland in the name of 'autonomous demonstrations' on May Day

Five people were arrested, including one man who's accused of pulling a butterfly knife on a cop, according to Portland police
Before the riots, the day was full of peaceful protests

A week before the riots, Portland mayor urged the city to protest peacefully and promised a crack down of 'the self-described anarchist mob'

The mayor's comments angered some, including death threat from an anonymous Twitter who used voice-disguising technology
'Blood is already on your hands, Ted,' said the video's narrator, wearing a full-face mask. 'The next time, it may just be your own'

Needs more cow bell.

Fantastic!

Y'all ever see the western movies, where the bad guys show up to rob the bank, but the rooftops are lined with men toting rifles, and the bad guys get shot to hell? I think of that every time these idiots throw a riot.

Gents -

Rochester, MN is literally making BLM “Government Speech” so that they do not have to permit opposing views.

School district will allow BLM speech, but not dissenting opinions

Reported first by Power Line, the school board voted unanimously last week to make “Black Lives Matter,” among other phrases, “government speech.” Under this arrangement, the district apparently does not have to create space for dissenting opinions. Making symbols and slogans like “Black Lives Matter,” “Brown Lives Matter,” “Indigenous Lives Matter,” “All Are Welcome Here,” “Stop Asian Hate,” and the pride flag all forms of government speech means, in theory, that no legal action can be taken against the district for not allowing opposing views.

^^ Interesting try, at least for first-year law students, but they're still regulating on the basis of content and that's a pretty tough row to hoe.

Is "Government Speech" really a thing?

Come on Man!

Maybe in Old Joe's fantasy world where "We the People" is really the Government --
but legally is "Government Speech" something that is recognized?
