    Sorry that is the Democratic Party's America the same party that's been playing one against the other for 150 years. There is a reason all this crap is confined to Democratic cities and it's got nothing to do with Trump.

    Obama and the liberal media fanned the race flames for 8 years. Polls show race relations were much worse after Obama.

    Some people don't like Trump's color blind approach to racial issues. He doesn't bow down to minorities and treat them like inept children. That's not politically correct.

    Liberal politicians have allowed the animals to run wild. The American people have seen for several evenings this week what liberal Democratic leadership looks like. It's a complete failure.

    Partisan politics have nothing to do with this - either side. The protests were a response to an event which has repeated itself over and over again - under both Rep and Dem politicians. Nothing has been done. The riots have nothing to do with the protests, which were held during the day and maintained peace and order. So to blame Trump or Obama or any other politician for the destruction that has taken place over the last few nights is politically opportunistic and badly misplaced.

    Now just Stop that right now. Cops are just human beings like anyone else. They're not superheroes, they want to go home at night and see their kids, not be shot by some arsewipe who's got his little handful of death.

    The thing is so do young black men.

    And yes I know that no firearms were involved here. I still think the problem is too many guns. Police have no idea of who is armed and how heavily. It makes the cops fearful and nervous and this makes them react with violence and brutality under any circumstance. How did this guy know WHAT the guy had? Better to just kneel on his neck and ignore anything he's saying.

    Mind, that doesn't excuse this one little bit but it is a reason for these terrible tragedies

    And yet one more why we should finally say ENOUGH and come up with some SANE gun regulations. Something at least comparable to the world's other civilized nations. What is WRONG with us?

    I don't associate with the animals/subhumans that loot and burn. They don't share my political ideology.

    I hear you...

    There ARE some "Good Cops", I won't deny that.

    And, your point is well taken.

    Not ALL Cops are Bad.

    BUT, one bad cop is TOO many.

    That said, consider this:

    One MURDERING COP Caused This.

    This has spread to several cities.

    All because of ONE COP (and over $20).

    Just let that sink in.

    Maybe the Party store owner should have just taken the loss?

    I wonder if the store owner would have done anything differently if he knew how this would end?

    Why would anybody Trust a Cop to make an arrest (over an alleged $20 Theft) without killing somebody?

    Bad judgement on the part of the merchant.

    He had to know that any attempt to involve the cops had a high likelihood of ending in the suspect's death.

    Over $20? Wow.:smh:

    Anyway, back to your point.

    I Agree, That There ARE a Few "Good Cops".

    BUT, One Bad Cop is One TOO Many.

    And, Monday (in Minneapolis) Proved that.

    Look at how the Entire Civilized society (and Public Order) in America is being totally upended by the actions of ONE Cop?

    One Bad Cop is One TOO Many. :flagus:

    The merchant should have immediately told Floyd the note was bad, given it back to him and told him to wait while he called the police so they could try to trace the bill. Failing that, he should have told Floyd to take it to the police himself

    As you know, the Secret Service handles counterfeiting. Maybe they should have called them. They are MUCH better trained and professional than any police I know of.

    This isn't about that.

    It's about your message. Blue states give a lot of money to Red states.

    "Republican leaders have spent months promoting the myth that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes.

    An Associated Press Fact Check finds it’s actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way.

    Mississippi received $2.13 for every tax dollar the state sent to Washington in 2015, according to the Rockefeller study. West Virginia received $2.07, Kentucky got $1.90 and South Carolina got $1.71.

    Meanwhile, New Jersey received 74 cents in federal spending for tax every dollar the state sent to Washington. New York received 81 cents, Connecticut received 82 cents and Massachusetts received 83 cents."

    You know, I spend most of my time here pointing out the obvious.

    When a patient has cancer, the only treatment is to destroy the malignant cells and/or masses in an effort to completely obliterate the disease, as cancerous cells do not unite with the body but rather destroy it.

    If you invest in a business run by Democrats or operates in blue areas, kiss your money goodbye. Neo-communist don't respect private property and won't protect it. They will even sacrifice your property for their political gain.

    Neo-communist want a race war.

    They are shouting "kill white people" while robbing and looting.

    Democrats are trying to enable and encourage this. They think it helps them politically by hurting the economy.

    Soooooooooo . . . when Obama allowed Ferguson to burn and other localities to burn during his presidency while traditional Dem Party voters rioted and looted and burned property, all of that was Obama's fault? Sweet!

    The virus failed to destroy the economy so now the neo-communist are trying riots. They think this is a way to beat trump.

    Democrats say... never let a crisis goto waist

    Liberals own these riots. Portland really cracks me up.....a bunch of white people rioting because blacks have such deep seated anger? ....liberal cities are always looking for a reason.

    I hate to be the 'Debbie Downer' here but IMHO I don't think that Blacks and Whites, in this country at least, are ever going to cohabitate well. Way, way, way too much animus on both sides for this to happen. Small groups maybe but large groups...…...

    The roots of the U.S. destruction started when the first slave set his/her foot on this countries soil. Sure Lincoln freed the slaves, only as the final nail in the Confederates coffin, but then there was NO plan to either integrate them into society or send them back to their home countries. So 155+ years later here we are. NO fix that I can see.

    It's odd how the crime rate graphs and the electoral maps line up.

    Yeah, the thousands of rioters and looters using his death as an excuse have nothing at all to do with it.

    Red states have military bases, national parks, NASA, etc. So of course a lot of money goes to red states.

    For decades, my relatives in the Northeast have been able to lessen the amount of federal income tax they pay because they have a state income tax. I haven't been able to do that. I have no state income tax. I pay the full share of my federal taxes.

    But the important point is that the blue states have been irresponsible with their budgets. They tax too much and spend way too much. Their debt is not my fault. I should not pay for their horrible choices.
