how long does it take to adjust? because I would be incapable of leaving that alone at red lights and giving other drivers smug looks

On the BAE vehicles we could go from Stow to Stand off in 30 seconds.

that is perfect, especially if you know the light time and do it right at 31 seconds, with the cars behind you in the left turn lane getting increasingly nervous that they will miss the light as your big ass unnecessary truck is busy morphin in to a more powerful zord

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

It looks like the Umbrella Man from the Autozone looting videos may have been identified (and it is not St. Paul police as was originally rumored)

Just two days after the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in May, a masked man holding an umbrella was seen smashing windows and helping to incite violence during protests in Minneapolis. Now, the city's police department believes it has identified the man as a white supremacist, linking the suspect to the Hells Angels and the Aryan Cowboys. The man has not yet been charged

Viral videos captured the suspect, dubbed "Umbrella Man," breaking the glass windows of an Auto Zone in south Minneapolis on May 27, ignoring people's pleas to stop. He is also responsible for spray painting, "Free sh** for everyone zone" on the store's front doors, police said.

Quote

A Minneapolis police arson investigator said the act of vandalism at the AutoZone on E. Lake Street helped spark a chain reaction that led to days of looting and rioting. The store was among dozens of buildings across the city that burned to the ground in the days that followed.

"This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city," Sgt. Erika Christensen wrote in a search warrant affidavit filed in court this week. "Until the actions of the person your affiant has been calling 'Umbrella Man,' the protests had been relatively peaceful. The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension. Your affiant believes that this individual's sole aim was to incite violence."

Police identified "Umbrella Man" thanks to a tip that came via e-mail last week, Christensen said.

So according to MPD, Umbrella Man is a white supremacist, and according to the Richmond PD in Richmond, VA, the riots there were instigated by white supremacists masquerading as BLM protesters:

Funny how multiple police departments have ID'd the criminal element as white supremacists, yet the talking point memo on Fox conveniently fails to mention this. In fact, "police" and "riot" are mentioned 20 times in all on the FoxNews homepage, yet there is not a single mention of either story.

I'm just happy it isn't SPPD, in all honesty.  But like I thought in one of my first posts on this thread, folks were infiltrating to aid in the start of the rioting.  And I don't think it has stopped.  And I do think LEO is doing what they are doing under orders, with ulterior motives by whoever is the shotcaller.

both those articles reference 1 guy.  Not a group of people.  So one guy who breaks windows and has links to a white sup. group is a riot?   So what happened to this guy?  What can citizens do?  Oh they called the police didn't they? I thought the police was the problem?

Removing him will result in, at worst, a do-nothing president as opposed to one who probably has wet dreams about stirring up the pot.

The pot needed stirring up and it’s brought out the true colors of all in the pot.  Thank god for transparency

Who would ever guess white supremacists would infiltrate and join the ranks of BLM? Is this a case of keeping your enemies close?

Let's not be judgmental. After all, there are some very good people among those white supremacists.

Looks like Portland was pretty peaceful last night now that the feds stopped provoking them... Weird, who could have guessed it? 

https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/07/changing-of-the-guard-oregon-state-troopers-start-duty-at-federal-courthouse-in-portland-quiet-so-far.html

They were being provoked to light the building on fire and once the police started doing their job the mob stopped? Weird.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

I’m all for letting Portland residents become their own autonomous country. Take no federal taxes from them and give them no federal funds.

Most major cities would be absolutely fine with that.  Keep the money local, and stop bailing out the other states.

Kentucky is already pretty much a turd pile. Just think what that state would be like if it it didn't get $1.30 back for every greenback sent to Uncle Sam.

If people are talking about feds not helping cities, let's make it so major cities don't help the poor states.  It is just solid logic.  :D
