Revolutionaries don't spend all day on a messageboard. Action is realisation of the polemic.

Racist pieces of shit. It might be out of context, but that sign/shirt combo is reassuring that it's not.
"Maybe some day... I'll find a way... without you.."
In new York a while back there was another case where a man was choked to death (I think he was black, I'm trying to remember from what my dad told me). After the court decision that should have established president was handed down (later successfully fought, I believe) a group of officers starting making shirts that said "smoke em not choke em" or something to that effect.
"I'm not interested in indulging whims from members of your faction."
Seeing as this is seen as acceptable by an admin, from here on out when I have a disagreement with someone I will be asking them to reference this. If you want an explanation of my views, too bad.
red terror is a necessity
"We have seen: a social revolution possesses a total point of view because – even if it is confined to only one factory district – it represents a protest by man against a dehumanized life" - Marx
"But to push ahead to the victory of socialism we need a strong, activist, educated proletariat, and masses whose power lies in intellectual culture as well as numbers." - Luxemburg

The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater?

I would say middle age is around fifty. And yeah, a lot of middle-aged people have greying hair. Hell, I have grey hairs and I'm 25.
I also don't see why people are surprised. I mean, I can get the outrage, but did people expect anything else from the cops?
I don't think these people are even cops, they're holding a sign that says thank you to the cops, which I took to mean that they themselves aren't cops. Correct me if I'm wromg though.
"We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass." Karl Marx
Oh yeah, I didn't notice the writing below the sign. Again, though, I can understand that this is an ugly side of class society and that people are scandalised, but white supporters of cops acting in a racist manner is... well, to be expected.
It is absolutely predictable this would happen.
If you see how the unions acted in a recent rallymeeting..and the mayor praising the cops for showing restraint in the recent protests and calling the NYPD the finest police force in the country because of that restraint...in the face of politicians warning their half-black children to stay away from cops and watch out for them....
It is easy to see how this situation will not change anytime soon and will require and necessitate long term opposition movement.
More and more it's apparent that the contradictions of capitalism alone will generate crises, but it will not necessarily bring socialist revolution (it may even bring unabashed fascism). Even if socialism is inevitable, by the time the short-sightedness endemic to this system isn't enough to restrain class-consciousness it may well be too late.
It's not a dichotomy between "do nothing but wait for the system to collapse on itself" and "red terror", but knee-jerk reactionaries of which these three are emblematic are not generally going to be convinced by rational arguments nor by the continually worsening situation of the working class.
"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will." - Antonio Gramsci
"If he did advocate revolutionary change, such advocacy could not, of course, receive constitutional protection, since it would be by definition anti-constitutional."
