    If not, does anyone know why? Is it based on some brand of politics, that rioting is worth it for the cause? I've only heard Biden talk about the original incident, but nothing about the riots.

    So do you have any insight into why not a single Democratic politician has condemned the riots, including the useless Mayor of Minneapolis?

    Not a single Democratic politician I've seen interviewed on TV has failed to condemn it. I haven't heard from Republicans condemning any of the murders, though.

    Of course they have - in huge numbers.

    Silly thread.

    I condemn all murders, but what murders are you referring to?

    Trump is missing in action (golfing) on this and on COVID. He has not had any effect or influence on anything. He's not only a failure but constitutes our main national security threat.

    Which one?

    A good person Republican or otherwise will understand that they don't have all the facts and not jump to conclusions..

    Here are some things we know.

    1. He tried to defraud Target by using counterfeit money. He was a criminal, a felon. Aka he was a bad guy, no matter what the community thinks of him.

    2. He is said to have resisted arrest. I've seen no evidence of the fact.

    3. The folks at target were worried enough by his behavior that they called the police.

    4. The police appeared to have use excessive force.

    5. He did not die from having his airways restricted. He could breathe...

    6 the cop is being charged with murder and manslaughter.

    As with most tragedies it is a series of preventable actions that lead to the mans death. Some of them, the big ones, are his own fault.

    Lastly a good person again Republican or otherwise will wait til people who know more make decisions about the events before offering and support or condemnation.

    Bad people jump to conclusions based on very little knowledge.

    So back to you: What Democrats have condemned the rioters for the deaths, injuries and destruction that they have caused?

    Ellison, former Deputy Chair of the DNC: Rioting is okay if it’s directed at the police


    [​IMG]

    But be nice to the National Guard


    As Minneapolis continues to be burned, looted and generally destroyed by “protesters” who are filling the streets, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison issued a note of caution to the rioters yesterday.

    When Ellison was in Congress (in the seat now held by Ilhan Omar) he openly supported Antifa.

    Why would a Democrat politician condemn their base?
    They are basically cowards and yes- men.

    You speak of George Floyd. What about:
    Eric Garner
    Laquan McDonald
    Tamir Rice
    Stephon Clark
    Philando Castille
    Sandra Bland
    Walter Scott
    And many others whose names I can't remember at the moment. All killed by the police while unarmed.

    I'm not familiar with any of those cases.
    I'd obviously need to become familiar with them before i had an opinion on them.
    I would however say that unarmed is not the same as not a threat.

    Eric Garner, a long time criminal who resisted arrest..

    The cops actions were subject of a grand jury and he was not indicted.

    Garner's asthma, obecity and heart disease were contributing factors.

    Garner's witness was a long time criminal and felon who was also a police harrasser


    The biggest contributing factor in these cases seems to be resisting arrest.

    Yes.

    In huge numbers.

    Giuliani just said he'd have charged the cop with 1st degree murder.

    Why do they have to be armed? If they are acting crazy and a cop feels threatened, then too bad for the criminal. He probably should have thought twice before being an *******.
