Ohhh, I dunno, I watched hours last night with people rioting, some protesting, and a sizeable lot of black and white thugs destroying things. SOME of the white people were all done up in black (masks, jackets, pants, hats or helmets) common of Black Bloc and Antifa.

This morning watching the news for an hour and change showed lots of neighborhoods with black and white people pitching in together, cleaning up stores, broken glass, and their neighborhood. But I did not see any black clad Antifa or Black Bloc there. Are you thinking that they went home, changed out of the Commieforms, and came back and helped?

well there are more than twice as many whites...but common sense suggests that cops will kill
most people where violent crimes occur, which is in poor urban areas, where there are more blacks.

i read that in 2019, 9 unarmed blacks were killed by cops in the US. 9. That’s not a systematic pattern of racist assassinations by police officers. one is too many, but 9 isn’t systemic racism.

I think the issue is Unarmed and Math


In absolute numbers, more white people than black people are killed in police shootings (because white people outnumber black people in America).

i read that nine unarmed black men were killed by cops in the US in 2019. In Chicago, 9 murders happen in an average weekend. black-on-black violence is therefore a much bigger threat to blacks day to day. but that doesn’t help democrats get elected so it gets ignored, and the left acts as if blacks are hunted every day by white cops.

blacks are shot and killed
by cops in disproportionate numbers. is it because of racism? or is it because blacks disproportionately live in areas with lots of violent crime?

now Trump wants the Joint chief of staff to handle the Riots??

Trumps Is willing to put US troops on the Street .. using Antifa

at attacking anyone with a D next to their name must be how you united a country

Trump tells nation's governors 'most of you are weak

Trump told the governors that "you have to use the military" and "we have a wonderful military,"


The White House

@WhiteHouse
“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”

Protesters running amok. Innocent citizens under siege. Outside actors engaging in terrorist acts. Police struggling to maintain control and in desperate need of reinforcements.

That was how Chinese state media portrayed anti-government protests in Hong Kong last year, dismissing calls for greater democracy and an investigation into police brutality by focusing on individual acts of violence and property damage. The widespread unrest, and the prospect of more this year, has been used to justify a new national security bill that will be imposed upon the city by Beijing in coming months.

Then, the US supported people's right to take to the streets and have their voices heard, and that sporadic violence or illegality did not undermine the core demands or legitimacy of the movement.

Dozens of journalists covering anti-racism protests that have rocked the US have reported being targeted by security forces using tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper spray.

now where would they get that Idea from enemy of the people

Tweety’s tweet

The professionally managed so-called “protesters” at the White House had little to do with the memory of George Floyd. They were just there to cause trouble. The @SecretService handled them easily. Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???

We have reached a low when the president instead of trying to calm the country is threatening US military in states that don’t handle this to his satisfaction.

As in past riots that local government couldn't handle, the national guard was able to "calm the country."

The national guard is not the only military action he was threatening, states have done that, he is threatening more federal intervention.

if the national guard can’t ensure safety, doesn't trump have the obligation to raise the bar? eisenhower sent in the 101st airborne to ensure school
desegregation after the national guard failed to do so.

if the national guard can’t do it, is the potus supposed to just watch cities burn?

Peaceful protesters were gassed and shot with rubber bullets to clear away a space near a church to give Trump a photo-op waving a bible flanked by AG Barr and Sec Def Esper. Monstrous. Anticonstitutional.

This will get far worse and will escalate enough to fulfill Putin’s dreams

Congratulations Trumplicans

Bishop Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington tells CNN on air: "I am outraged. The president did not pray when he came to St. John's nor did he acknowledge the agony of our country right now."

"We distance ourselves from the incendiary language of this president."

That’s been his tactic with PPE and other preventative measures with Covid... “Let the states handle it”

Now that black people are involved in an activity associated with unrest, he all of a sudden wants to intervene in state business to look like a tough guy for his supporters

You can have one or the other, but selectively applying your own rules is never a good idea when things are being recorded and reported live
