Your first thought was to come here and berate the victim for being white and rich (was he actually even rich?). I'm not so sure I'm the one who needs to examine his biases.
The speaker of the House is tweeting about federal law enforcement as "storm-troopers". I don't know how more mainstream you want this to be before you come to terms that these "fringe groups" are mainstream elements within the Democratic party. Your argument is that I don't care about police brutality because I respond poorly to riots, looting, arson, and destruction of public property. It's a bad take. Skyrocketing murder rates in cities across the country are not some right-wing conspiracy. It's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

No, my first thought was how right-wingers only seem to sympathize with the victims who are white and rich.
Pretty sure Trump made some Nazi comparison about federal agents before.... did you call that out? I assume Pelosi is referring to the uninvited, unmarked federal agents on the streets of Portland. Not sure how that hyperbolic statement equates to wanting to defund the police.
Focusing on the fringe is a way to delegitimize the protests and movement broadly. It's usually an indicator that you don't really care about the underlying issues or incidents.

I described what they did with the "Children in cages" story
It's not hard to just read their website, too. Dunno why you expect to be spoonfed these stories which were top10 at the time they came out :lol:
Usually if PaRD is discussing particular stories, they are posted here. I don't think that's too much to ask. But I get it, you guys aren't interested in the specifics... you're content posting "media bad lulz" and moving on.
