He’s always been a mental midget. Talented runner in his day but with the talent comes the headaches.
A post from a dude who’s contribution to society is putting hot bean water in a cup.
Of course he's right.
Tons of videos of cops violently assaulting and worse unarmed protesters.
Nowhere do any of these "good cops" do a damn thing to stop it.
Wake up folks
Dude's a straight-up militant socialist:

A lot of people both sides are being radicalized right now.
Scalped AJ a couple times. He is a good kid but sadly here he’s just drinking the liberal Kool Aid. And he likes it extra sweet.

The cops should just take the weekend off and let these blue states burn to the ground. Let’s have a weekend of no law enforcement to show how bad the police really are. Anyone else sick of the protestors baiting the police?

There is a simple solution. Stop baiting cops, stop violating curfew and stop burning businesses.

What does that photo have to do with porn?
You guys are behind the times. Acosta is coaching at some prep school and is the camp director for a nike running camp. If he's working at starbucks too, its probably a side gig.
Let's Run should have reposted this Facebook entry. This is not relevant or helpful in the current social climate.
A few things that I think would be good to think about:
Is AJ’s post more disrespectful than choking someone to death on camera?
Considering the police as they are now, are there any changes that you think could be made that would result in less deaths? Is that important?
Have you asked a black friend what they think about this?
What event would need to happen in your life to motivate post something like this?
Think about how many black peoples we have seen die at the hands of police. Think about what has been done to prevent this from happening again (can you think of anything?).
I used to think that the police only went after the bad guys, because I’m white. Lately I have been listening to my black friends and community members and I haven’t heard a single one of them confirm my old view of law enforcement. What gives me a right to insert my opinion over their lives? Looting and rioting is wrong and I don’t support it, but I won’t condemn anyone for voicing their dismay and calling for reform of a selective justice system.
Too many posters taking their eye off of the ball here. Lots of people are posting things that are out there right now, but the issue is police brutality, police training, the role of police in our society going forward. This is not about one young goofball venting on social media.
It's high time for police reform, major reform, a rethinking of the role of police in our society, major changes in training, major changes in stance alongside the community, etc.
I'm a long time police supporter but I've had enough. The Floyd killing, which was flat out killing, the callousness of the thugs who pushed down that 75 year old man and walked past him while he was badly injured, the kettling techniques, the militarization of police response, the massive unrest occurring now.
If you aren't seeing the massive need for reform you are missing the obvious here and it sure is easy to deflect away from the requirements of the time by focusing on some dipshiit's social media post.
Umm… so how does he explain the whole good cop - bad cop thing??
The grand irony is if you took cops off the streets, the urban and predominantly minority neighborhoods would likely suffer the most. Rural areas tend to enforce their own rules (and fewer people to have confrontation), and the elites live in their gated communities with private security - so they aren’t going to hurt. Also, take out the cops and you end up with vigilantes. Yeah, that’ll be a grrrreat result (sarcasm font).
Criminals should have justice meted out, whether they have a uniform or not, but there’s this crazy thing called due process which should be given to all suspected criminals so we aren’t tossing innocents in jail just because they happen to be social pariahs at the moment. Stereotyping all cops as bad is the same mistake as calling all Muslims terrorists or all Germans Nazis. Come on, man... it doesn’t matter what motivates such a comment. It’s still inaccurate at best.

Yours is the occupied mind. None of those things stop the systemic violence the cops visit upon both the guilty and the innocent.

What event would need to happen in someone's life to trigger someone: with potential mental issues, after three years of an administration that they believe is Nazi/Hitler, coming up to an election season that they feel they'll lose, after being cooped-up in their house for three months believing the delusion that "strong flu season" was enough of a reason to shut down the greatest economy they've seen in their lives and yet they were only able to find menial work, to be motivated to post something like this?
I'm going to go with a light breeze or the water coming out of the faucet was a little hotter than expected.
One of two things will happen:
1. A stronger centralized totalitarian government, fewer civil rights.
2. Splintering of the U.S into 50 sovereign nations. At first chaos, over long run, more liberties and less corruption
