I've consistently been posting the facts while you've been consistently posting the desperate spin.
You're not even close to right.

There's no rampaging negros burning cities. It was black people looting for a few weeks months ago, but all the rioting and burning stuff now is whitebread anarchists. The black people are just shooting each other. Not much of a race war when black people kill black people en masse and white rioters face off against cops.

You're in denial about what's going on around the country



Lake street/Chicago sure beg to differ, its literally a burnt out husk lining blocks of Minneapolis, where all businesses have closed and will not reopen when the pandemic ends.

Right now its not mad max, its not children and old ladies being gassed, its not some grand conspiracy of agent provocateurs. Its an urban crime wave of unpoliced black youth running rampant and white anarchists hosting impotent riots
And it absolutely astounds me how you completely lack the self-awareness to stop yourself from accusing me of posting hyperbolic disinformation for denying your conspiracy theories
You've worked yourself into such an ideological echo chamber of extremism that you actually think anyone who doesn't believe in your baseless, evidence-free speculative conspiracy theory is posting in bad faith

So all the stories about the Navy guy being assaulted and having his hand broken for asking why the police were not upholding their oaths?

The clergy that trump gased out of the church to hold the bible were lying?

The people who have said they've taking their children to engage in peaceful democracy and have been gassed with their kids are all lying about it?

Your head is in the sand, sir.

There is plenty of evidence for this having happened.

Protestors being cleared off a block for a few hours= Drumpf is gassing clergy

Goom is 100% right, you're so far gone and disconnected from on the ground reality it's laughable.

Finally, I want to address a different breakdown in the rule of law that we have witnessed over the past two months. In the wake of George Floyd’s death, violent rioters and anarchists have hijacked legitimate protests to wreak senseless havoc and destruction on innocent victims. The current situation in Portland is a telling example. Every night for the past two months, a mob of hundreds of rioters has laid siege to the federal courthouse and other nearby federal property. The rioters arrive equipped for a fight, armed with powerful slingshots, tasers, sledgehammers, saws, knives, rifles, and explosive devices. Inside the courthouse are a relatively small number of federal law enforcement personnel charged with a defensive mission: to protect the courthouse, home to Article III federal judges, from being overrun and destroyed. What unfolds nightly around the courthouse cannot reasonably be called a protest; it is, by any objective measure, an assault on the Government of the United States. In recent nights, rioters have barricaded the front door of the courthouse, pried plywood off the windows with crowbars, and thrown commercial-grade fireworks into the building in an apparent attempt to burn it down with federal personnel inside. The rioters have started fires outside the building, and then systematically attacked federal law enforcement officers who attempt to put them out—for example, by pelting the officers with rocks, frozen water bottles, cans of food, and balloons filled with fecal matter. A recent video showed a mob enthusiastically beating a Deputy U.S. Marshal who was trying to protect the courthouse – a property of the United States government funded by this Congress – from further destruction. A number of federal officers have been injured, including one severely burned by a mortar-style firework and three who have suffered serious eye injuries and may be permanently blind. Largely absent from these scenes of destruction are even superficial attempts by the rioters to connect their actions to George Floyd’s death or any legitimate call for reform. Nor could such brazen acts of lawlessness plausibly be justified by a concern that police officers in Minnesota or elsewhere defied the law. Remarkably, the response from many in the media and local elected offices to this organized assault has been to blame the federal government. To state what should be obvious, peaceful protesters do not throw explosives into federal courthouses, tear down plywood with crowbars, or launch fecal matter at federal officers. Such acts are in fact federal crimes under statutes enacted by this Congress. As elected officials of the federal government, every Member of this Committee – regardless of your political views or your feelings about the Trump Administration – should condemn violence against federal officers and destruction of federal property. So should state and local leaders who have a responsibility to keep their communities safe. To tacitly condone destruction and anarchy is to abandon the basic rule-of-law principles that should unite us even in a politically divisive time. At the very least, we should all be able to agree that there is no place in this country for armed mobs that seek to establish autonomous zones beyond government control, or tear down statues and monuments that law-abiding communities chose to erect, or to destroy the property and livelihoods of innocent business owners. The most basic responsibility of government is to ensure the rule of law, so that people can live their lives safely and without fear. The Justice Department will continue working to meet that solemn responsibility.

Quoting Trump's personal lawyer and?




The clergy from that church said militarized police gassed them off their property. That is a specific incident that happened.




So we have to pick between police murdering with impunity or this?

Isn't this a false and shitty dichotomy?

Why can't we diversify law enforcement into squads like soldiers are, with actual trained specializations? Instead of a one size fits all Cop that is inadequate for the task in some places.

I will say defunding the police is a pretty crazy and stupid idea and have never been on board with that. Why is the otherside unfettered police brutality, with excessive police brutality right now to solve this problem caused by police brutality? The Right sucks as much as the defund the policers. Those are both ends of a parabola.

Enlisted army mental health specialist literally come to our unit for training in trauma and mental illness presentation and how to intervene. Its called Operation SMART. Why don't the police use us like this? Cops are literally afraid to come on our unit without weapons because of the stigma of mental illness and their terrible experience being first responders to it.




Lol yeah. Let me quote this piece of shit Trump stooge who can't stay away from buffets.
