    I’m simply pointing out the lefts mainstream narrative isn’t a reasonable one asking for improvement in police. It’s unfair demonizing, that has resulted in the anti police attacks we see today.

    Maybe she knows the truth is not her friend.

    I haven't heard anyone demonize police. I don't believe anyone who matters has. Biden and Harris condemn all violence, and so do the rest of us.

    That’s not what obama did, obama attacked the police even when they weren’t doin anything wrong. He stoked the anger, even when there was no wrong doing. He entertained false narratives as true, even when he knew they weren’t.

    All for votes.

    Obama caused division and a new hate for police.

    Then you aren’t paying attention. That is not my fault.

    It’s happening, and its the mainstream reaction on the left, hopefully that changes one day but as of right now its the status quo.

    Why do you think Biden, et al, while condemning the recent violence (after seeing the polling data), do not condemn the policies of the mayors and governors who consciously and deliberately allowed the violence to continue?

    That's quite a leap. All I've heard is Biden talking about bringing everyone to the table. That's step one. After that, we'll see what the parties come up with. What's Trump's plan?

    The only police that are being demonized are bad cops. Biden makes a point to praise the vast majority of police who are honorable. He does this every time he speaks. I'm not sure what would convince you.

    Yeah, right. Like I didn't see that coming. It's happening because you say so. Sounds like propaganda.

    Incorrect, creating narratives that overplay the statistical anomaly that is police brutality demonizes police.

    Claiming blacks people are justified to live in fear of the police, is demonizing the police.

    Refusing to show outrage when they are ambushed in the same way you show it for Floyd, is disrespectful.

    Claiming the police are untrained, thugs running around killing blacks to the point they can’t even jog down the street...is demonizing.

    Claiming they are “racist through and through” top to bottom is demonizing the police. I believe that one was Maxine Waters.

    The fact of the matter is, you not seeing the demonization of the police and how thats effecting both race relations and the MASSIVE increase in attacks on police is astounding.

    You not seeing it is not my fault, you should pay more attention in my opinion. You are seeing what you want to see, not the reality of the situation.

    Dems have repeatedly referred to police as white supremacists making claims that “its not just a bad apple” its “systematic” when the data doesn’t support that.

    They demonize police constantly with these false narratives, and its costing police their lives.

    The fact of the matter is that I can tell the difference between systemic racism and demonizing the police. Your rant noted.

    There is no systematic racism, yet dems claiming it infects the police IS demonizing police.

    There is no difference.

    Call it a rant if you would like, the reality is dems are demonizing police with their narratives, and supporting groups like BLM and antifa who do nothing but call for police deaths.

    When BLM calls for pigs in a blanket, and then a dem praises them. They are responsible for the officers deaths.

    Interesting how you did address Maxine Waters portrayal of the police. HOw is that not demonizing?

    And cops are killing unarmed black people. That's what this is about. Maybe you're the one seeing what he wants to see?

    Yes, that occurrence is a statistical anomaly. Yet the lefts narratives paint it as something every black person is likely to encounter on a day to day basis. Their false narratives like systematic racism are just that...false, yet come with a huge impact on the relationship between the black community and police.

    But again, were you really unaware of Maxine Waters portrayal of the police?

    Do you not think she was demonizing them by saying they are all racist, through and through?

    A riot is not an act of god, an earthquake or meteor hitting you business is. Your coverage is what you elect to pay for. I imagine businesses in these cities that didn't have coverage for riots and civil disorder will be trying to get it and the insurance companies seeing their liability will high up the rates for it.

    11 last year and 9 were justified. That is justification for anarchy in the streets and billions of dollars in losses?

    When they're unidentified and wearing camo, I call them stormtroopers. A fellow American wouldn't have sent them in.

    I'm still waiting for someone to prove that George Floyd's death was racially motivated and that Derek Chauvin is a racist.

    To think all of this may have been based on a lie.

    It's not like this hasn't happened before...

    Yes.
    Like the left of today, they expressed simple outrage without follow-up.

    I don't care much for Maxine Waters.

    Statistics don't mean anything to those affected, and when we see it happen over and over, it's easy to understand people's anger. Most people don't want to become a statistic.

    Nobody is painting things as you claim. You're exaggerating.

    They're law enforcement and they were unidentifiable because the thugs in Portland were using al qaeda tactics on OUR people. It was the best we could do to keep everyone safe and it worked. Far from any concentration camps, the reality is they literally face no penalty.

    What is an al qaeda tactic?

    I don't care whether they're law enforcement. The USA isn't a police state.

    For no rational reason whatsoever
    If your fellow Americans - specifically (D) mayors and governors - had done their jobs and sent them in sooner, there would have been less burning and looting and rioting.
    Instead, they signaled their virtue by allowing their cities to burn - that is, allowing the property, and sometimes, the livelihoods, of their law-abiding constituents to be destroyed.
    What kind of American does that?
