1. A must see.

[flying_wahini]

2. Where is this?

[PunkinPi]

5. Not sure. nt

[idziak4ever1234]

6. I had heard Cedar Rapids, IA but am not positive.

[Squidly]

15. Its not Cedar Rapids

The Dept does not have vehicles like that one...normal squad car types and SUVs

[PunkinPi]

23. A tweet in this OP says it is Boston.

3. WTF?

[jaxexpat]

4. It's the Nazi Easter bunny.

Or a simply bad time to have a Mason's convention.
Or brick laying has become a dangerous secret.

[Squidly]

7. Shit like this needs to be on every media outlet!!

If we knew where this was, with the number on the vehicle it would be fairly easy to have these thugs reported...unless the whole damn department is in on it...which wouldnt surprise me.

[2naSalit]

8. Needs to be seen around the planet.

Fuck these fucking fuckers.

[niyad]

9. But. . But. . .how can this be??? I was told that Soros is doing this, and paying the protestors.

Latest nonsense from the "alternative facts" world makes my head hurt!

[Boxerfan]

10. The bricks were in a HIDDEN compartment.

So what does that say....Damn.

[harumph]

16. Ceramics may used as anti-penetration means against ballistics.

I don't think this shows what people are saying it does. Those "bricks" appear to be smallish squares -
roughly 4" X 4"...

[Boxerfan]

18. Ballistics-for a rear lower panel?

Makes zero sense but nice try. Those were bricks-with old mortar mostly broken.

[Squidly]

21. I was going to say the same thing

Why would anyone want to protect the bed of a truck?

[Lars39]

19. No, they are brick size

[Captain Zero]

29. yes, looks like in the back of a pickup truck

with a cover that pulls over the bed.

[2naSalit]

11. Send this to

Rachel Maddow. She addresses this kind of shit when people send info to her.

[bluedigger]

12. Looks like conspiracy to incite a riot.

If any DA cared.

[harumph]

13. I watched the video and it's not clear what is going on.

The videographer pans very quickly to something to the right and then back again to dwell on the cops.
I don't think this shows what it is purported to show -
I think we should be wary of assuming that such videos are presented in good faith.

[Squidly]

20. These are not professional videographers

You are going to have shaking and unintended pans....unless you have worked in video, most people dont consciously try to avoid jerky motions like that, especially when they are excited.

[SideStep]

33. When people see and hear confirmed cases of black ops and the like....

It's natural to draw assumptions. At the least I would like to see this explained. I can think of no legitimate reason a police vehicle would have a hidden compartment apparently filled with bricks.

[oasis]

14. Will the Fraternal Order of Police Union give a "no b.s." explanation for this?

[Dustlawyer]

17. This needs to go viral. It confirms what we understand, that there is a serious,

institutional problem with our police culture in this country. These protests will not stop until real reforms are achieved. That is something Trump and the powers that be do not understand. You cannot beat Americans into compliance with your authoritarian violence!

We clearly have a problem that will not be swept under the rug, but we also clearly have a problem with a President incapable of properly handling this crisis. This is a clash that will get much uglier before it can get better.

I blame Mitch MCConnell and the Republicans for protecting this inept and hateful President when he should have been impeached before the virus and this horrible murder of another in a long list of unarmed black men! This is the worst case scenario and bodes ill for the election coming up In November!

[jeffreyi]

22. Where is it. When.

C'mon, basics.

[PunkinPi]

24. A tweet in this OP says it is Boston.

[Squidly]

25. So why did the OP just delete the thread?

Interesting...

[PunkinPi]

28. I have no idea, but here's the tweet.

Link to tweet

[jeffreyi]

27. That thread is deleted.

[PunkinPi]

30. See post #28, it has the original tweet that was in the OP. nt

[FBaggins]

26. Not buying it

Seems faked.

[Alex4Martinez]

31. Related but official story from Columbus PD: bus filled with weaponry of mayhem:

[Boxerfan]

32. what can't you find in a hippy bus that large?

Sounds like camping gear to me.....

[Squidly]

35. Could have posted it without linking it to a tweet from a RWNJ...

Just sayin....

[FBaggins]

36. Is that bus real?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an extension behind the rear wheels that long

[5X]

34. Looks innocent...

37. Deleting this post, there appears to be conflicting info right now.
