It's not. Send in the police and clear the streets. If they need help, send in the National Guard and authorize the use of force.

Minneapolis made the mistake of pulling back police to avoid "escalating" the situation. They're now well past a week of rioting, going on two.

ah.. perfect example of somebody trying to just downplay and actually play bs games with something that is actually happening.
R wing extremist groups are taking part in escalating the problem..
I know 2 things at one time are hard to figure out for you.. especially if they contradict fuhrer trump.. but if you try hard you can do it.

I find it hilarious that these guys are quick to demonize POC in riots and protests.

Videos show plenty of white people doing the rioting and looting.

Their answer - "must be lefties!"

because logic is not their strong point.

It doesn't even need that.
As stated in previous post you R nuts jobs think the only option is more or MORE force.
if trump was an actual leader he could stop it without. But you are encouraging our country to become the Middle East.
Good job.

Rambling, ad hominem attacks, conjecture, and malice .. nothing about this so-called political forum marks a mind that is focused on anything beyond the disunity of our nation.

How many times must the policing arm of the nation screw things up before as in the case of any institution, be reformed?

The conviction rate doesn't mean we're doing a good job at ensuring the freedom of the public of the nation.

Does it mean that they are all bad? No, but the system of policing is such that we jail Citizens for an extreme number of victimless crimes and the disparity of over-police has been an issue for more than a century. How long is long enough for reform? Is one hundred years long enough?

As I understand the law, there are fine lines to what is acceptable in a "civilized" environment, and intending to incite hatred or evoke fear might seem obvious to readily reject. BUT.. and with that said - everyone everywhere wants to be heard and express themselves. Most of us are misunderstood upon expressing our viewpoint and it seems that, in most cases, before the inception of thought the rest of your peers will reject the action, thought or deed as broken, incomplete, and unexplained.

Our minds have become filled with assumptions and doubts and still yet many times obvious facts slap us in the face whether we know it or not, we are all on individual pages.

Knowing that, knowing we aren't likely to see each other's viewpoint in its entirety, we ought to strive to look at the over-arching ideals that we share. We aren't going to agree, we aren't going to understand one another but hell is the dissolution of the United State's the end game here?

All this is pretty unclear and confused, sorry but i'm not trusting this story.
I think better discuss globally, why all this is happening, what the actual governement did to prevent this, how to make a clear comparison in-betwwen rioters amount vs regular protests amount.

I know it's not your agenda, what you are defending here is nothing else than.. The Lies.

well when you have a wannabe dictator in the WH it starts from the top and travels down.

these guys clearly know trump is wrong but refuse to act because they want to "own the libs" and because POC are all illegal stealing jobs and speaking non-english in a country founded by immigrants who didnt speak english.

Second question.

Pandemic ongoing, riots, protests, 40 million unemployed, no end to coronavirus in reach. Why on earth did trump start his day yesterday by calling Putin?

The more accurate version of the clearing of Lafayette Square, not the church.

And there's more... the protesters weren't "cleared" until the 7 pm curfew. And unless they can teleport, they wouldn't be gone BY the time of curfew.
Long story short... another group of idiots, breaking the law, were tear gassed.

Good for the police.

Its their government right now.
