    The protests are about supposed racism in thr police department.. an unproven assertion.

    As we keep explaining many of cases being used to provoke these racial tensions are fabrications, for example Michael Brown. Who was justifiably killed by a police officer in self defense.

    Blacks are over represented in crime statistics because they commit more crime. They get hurt at a higher rate during arrests because they resist arrest more.

    That is the context for all of this.
    Rarely is race a factor in police use of force and just as rarely is that force unjustified.

    If you find a racist cop, by all means get his ass canned. If you find a murderous cop by all means try him and convict him..

    These protests? Pure and utter bovine excrement.

    Them's is the facts.. and they care not about how you feel about them.

    Same reason they flinch at putting down your favorite dog when he becomes rabid.

    Oh wait no. That's not the answer, the answer is VOTES.

    There is NO defense for the murder by police in MN.

    And, the other officers kneeling by the man being killed were clearly NOT there to "serve and protect".

    They were TOTALLY complicit and must be charged with murder under accompice liability. A policeman can not be within INCHES of a murder and not be charged for failing his duty so flagrantly.

    I have not heard of ANY politician defending the violence that this criminal act percipitated.

    It’s an anarchist group. And they’re at the heart of the riots. They’re mainly unemployed losers who live in their parents’ basement.

    In Philly the protestors looters and rioters outnumbered the police and national guard ten to one. In the videos on Tv white women were a significant portion of the looters.

    The mayor should use the cities resources to reimburse the stores for property and merchandise losses. And if there is nothing left for community services. Tough ****.

    So you are clueless as to what degree of murder the law has determined. Thanks for making that clear!

    Oh, so you've seen the likes of CNN, NBC, NY Times and Washington Post referring to rioters?

    I'm saying that if there wasn't looting and rioting, but just purely peaceful protesting, the media wouldn't be covering the peaceful protesting like they are the rioting and looting. Again, the looting and rioting IS the story here - which is very unfortunate because it's totally obscuring those who just want to exercise their First Amendment right to peacefully protest.

    I didn't say that you DID say that there's something wrong with praising protestors. You referred to the Mayors praising "all the THOUSANDS of peaceful protesters and all those who came out to help with clean up, provide neighbors and first responders with food and water." I made it clear that I support that by saying "there's nothing wrong with praising protestors." However, there IS something wrong with NOT CONDEMING scumbag thugs! And praising "all the THOUSANDS of PEACEFUL protesters" is not condemning the VIOLENT ones! So, do you want to try again? Again, I haven't heard the Mayors doing any condemning other than for the police officers, who they were absolutely RIGHT to condemn!

    How does that mean that Democrats have PRAISED them? I don't think that NOT condemning is PRAISING! It's just simply being silent!

    You probably shouldn't have picked a conservative outlet! :roflol: From the article:

    "statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties."

    Why would you bet that? Have I left you hanging before? I reply to EVERYTHING! It's OTHERS who are often unable to reply to ME! Perhaps you will be the latest example?

    @Pycckia came up with this list:

    Daniel Shaver
    Zachary Hammond
    Ryan Keith Bolinger
    William Bowers
    James Scott
    Andrew Thomas

    Was your list REALLY at the top of your head? That's pretty impressive if it was, even WITH the dominant left wing media's extensive coverage of those killings making it pretty easy to remember. Was the coverage of the above guys quite as extensive? Do you know a SINGLE one of those names?

    Well the dominant left wing media continuing to refer to the riots as "protests" and rioters as "protestors", surely can't be helping!

    At this point, how in the hell would the peaceful ones even be able to be identified amongst all the mayhem? Unfortunately the scumbags thugs have won - they ARE the story now.

    I was just checking. Yes, Biden has come out of his coma after days of delay and condemned the rioting. However,
    I've heard nothing from the Mayor of Minneapolis. Here's the useless, ineffective piece of crap talking about it:


    What triggered the protests and riots in Minneapolis was the George Floyd killing. Strange how you don't know this.

    Correct. I just assumed you thought he meant shooting to kill. If not, then what's the problem with shooting at scumbag rioters?
