so, a guy that runs a guitar pedal company, fulltone, got his product dropped from one of the largest guitar retailers, because he made a statement against looting.
www.guitarworld.com
he was called out as racist for his anti looting statement, with comments like, "we dont have to wait for boomers to die, they will just erase themselves by saying this racist S**t"
nothing in his comment was "racist", or bigoted, or prejudiced against any one, except looters.
so, gentlemen, the responses to his comments I read, these are the people who are going to run this country in a few years.
not to mention ruining someones livelihood, trial and sentence without a jury, thought control, anti free speech etc etc...
this is the beginning of 1984 times 1000.
you can be accused of any crime, even if you are not guilty, and be subject o having your life ruined, and threats of violence.
next step is re education camps for the offenders.... once this generation takes power.... say goodbye any type of rational, logical, cause and effect type reasoned discussion.

Regarding companies virtue-signaling: If enough people stop using their products the problem will make itself go away through bankruptcy. Go woke, go broke.

SF mayor releases police reform plan to deal with racism, use of force, homelessness, mental health
San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Thursday unveiled a four-point blueprint for police reforms that would transform the day-to-day course of policing in a department largely occupied by calls about homelessness and mental-health issues.
Breed’s proposal would remove sworn officers from such calls for non-criminal activities, replacing them with trained and non-armed professionals who she said would be better equipped to handle situations like neighbor disputes, school discipline interventions or behavioral health crises. The reforms would additionally fortify accountability policies, ban the use of military-grade weapons and divert funding to communities of color.
“San Francisco has made progress reforming our police department, but we know that we still have significant work to do,” Breed said in a statement. “We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve. We are going to keep going with these additional reforms and continuing to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”
Breed’s reforms don’t include a budget or details on how they should be carried out. The intent is to provide a roadmap for the city’s Police Commission and city departments, which would hammer out the specific policies.
By ending police responses to non-criminal activity, San Francisco would follow models from other cities like the Cahoots program in Eugene, Ore. The nonprofit, crisis-intervention center acts as its own arm of the city’s 911 response services.
The mayor’s plan would also codify a policy that explicitly bars the use of military-grade weapons against unarmed civilians, including the use of tear gas, bayonets, and tanks.
“The initiatives Mayor Breed is announcing today are consistent with our department’s commitment to the Collaborative Reform Initiative and our aspiration to make the San Francisco Police Department a national model in 21st Century policing,” Police Chief Bill Scott said in a statement. “We understand that it’s necessary for law enforcement to listen to African American communities and embrace courageous changes to address disparate policing practices, and we recognize it will take sacrifice on our part to fulfill the promise of reform.”
Roma Guy, a former San Francisco health commissioner, called Breed’s proposals an “action plan.”
“The beginning has begun,” she said. “We are ready — let’s get to work.”
Lateefah Simon, a BART director and president of the Akonadi Foundation, a nonprofit focused on civil rights for young people of color, also praised the mayor’s plan.
“Leaders across California must meet this moment and take bold steps to reimagine public safety,” she said. “Mayor Breed and San Francisco are committing to doing the hard work needed to ensure that Black communities — most impacted by state violence and disinvestment — have resources and support.”
The reforms are separate from, but related to, Breed and Supervisor Shamann Walton’s commitment to reallocate a portion of the Police Department’s budget to the black community as a reparation for decades of policymaking in San Francisco that led to the systemic disenfranchisement of the black community.
How much money will be taken from the police budget, and where it will go, has not yet been decided. Breed and Walton have so far only committed to leading a “collaborative process.”
While it does not yet include a firm timeline, Breed’s proposed reforms will foist new mandates on a department already well behind schedule in implementing a range of recommendations handed down by the Justice Department in 2016.
Federal officials urged San Francisco police to adopt a host of reform initiatives after a six-month investigation into the department that was prompted by the killing of Mario Woods and other fatal police shootings. A subsequent report found major flaws in the way police tracked and investigated use-of-force incidents and other glaring deficiencies.
Police Chief Bill Scott was hired in 2017 in part to implement the Justice Department’s reforms after his predecessor, Greg Suhr, resigned amid public upheaval in the wake several high-profile police killings of African Americans and Latinos. Scott pledged to press on with the reform initiatives under the guidance of state officials after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions pulled resources away from efforts that assisted local jurisdictions with community policing efforts.
In March, state officials found that the Police Department had complied with less than 15% of the Justice Department’s original 272 recommendations. However, significant progress was made around the department’s use-of-force incidents, which dropped by 24% in 2019, contributing to a 47% decline since 2016, state officials said.
Still, force was deployed disproportionately against black and Latino people with 39% of total incidents involving black men and 22% involving Latino men in the last quarter of 2019. The city’s black population stands at around 5%, and use-of-force incidents do not always occur against city residents.
The economic woes exacted by the coronavirus pandemic prompted Breed to mandate 10% across-the-board cuts for all departments that rely on the city’s roughly $6 billion general fund. The Police Department has proposed $23 million in cuts to meet that requirement by not filling 173 vacancies, including 122 sworn officer positions.
