[9:13pm] igel: and i thought about the reasons i couldnt.. [9:14pm] igel: and it makes me sick [9:15pm] Kendra: Oh you mean on the Pirates list? Not trying to make people sick...But it's a fairly twisted and demented situation rife with lies and hypocrisy [9:16pm] Kendra: I like how the cop who killed the elk in Colorado got sentenced to 6 years [9:16pm] igel: seriously [9:17pm] Kendra: It is a just another chapter in a long history. [9:17pm] jokeefe: ? [9:18pm] Kendra: There is a link in the email I sent to the list earlier that spells out a number os crazy scenarios where law enforcement is not held accountable for killing innocent people. But at the end I put in a link about a police officer who killed a prized elk in Colorado and they threw the book at him. [9:18pm] jokeefe: speak, man, speak [9:18pm] lisbon joined the chat room. [9:18pm] lisbon: hello [9:18pm] jokeefe: ahoy, lisbon [9:19pm] Kendra: I think more important is awareness and action. also, people have to understand how to engage th epolice. this is why i did not go out tonight, I do not trust the police [9:19pm] jokeefe: I threw together the agenda at https://masspirates.org/wiki/December_4th,_2014_IRC_Meeting [9:19pm] Kendra: You can't be evil indefinitely and not have it catch up to you. [9:19pm] jokeefe: yes [9:19pm] Kendra: Wrong is wrong, but I digress [9:20pm] jokeefe: Anything folks want to add? Statement on police killings? Need for cameras on cops, independent prosecutors, armed citizenry? [9:21pm] Kendra: Maybe some kind of education into what happened in Nazi Germany with the SS and then East Germany with the Stasi [9:21pm] jokeefe: Kendra, like the Adama quote [9:21pm] Kendra: It's the frog in the boiling pot theroy [9:22pm] Kendra: I saw the quote, then realized it was from Battle star Gallactics. Still works. [9:22pm] igel: hhe [9:22pm] Kendra: I think we should equate the War on Drugs with racial profiling andnow profiling of the impoverished of all races.
