    If she was black, the media would be all over this incriminating the cop that shot her.

    Quote where you condemned it and called for the Antifa and BLM anarchist to be arrested and prosecuted.

    Mobs have been attacking police for months and none were answered with deadly force. Use of any weapon at all brought the wrath of the left and their media. This lady was killed for much less than we have been tolerating
    I'm talking about the actual coup that just concluded with a Biden/Harris ticket in charge. You missed that one?

    If she was Antifa or BLM there would be riots over her death and calls to defund to the police.

    Biden is not in office. There was no coup against him. But there was more than one coup attempt against Trump.

    No, voting isn't a coup. I'm sorry you are more offended that someone would peacefully vote against your candidate than you are by actual terrorism.

    No, there wasn't a coup attempt against Trump. And trying to stop a lawful, peaceful transition of power is also a coup. It isn't just about removing people currently in office.

    I'm not going to search your post history. You replied to me, I said nothing about you. And you cannot "shelve whataboutism", as you put it, when lawlessness is clearly allowed on one side but not the other. The thing is, the right was obeying the law. For a long time. And then they saw the criminals winning because they were not so constrained. They found that if they defended their homes or businesses against rioting mobs, THEY would be thrown in jail. When one side must follow rules that the other doesn't, "whataboutism" is baked in.

    I have and already told you what I found so if you are going to claim you have consistently condemned the Antifa and BLM anarchy let's see it. Let's see some honesty.

    People were thrown in jail over those riots. Both sides must follow the rules. You are projecting your hypocrisy onto others, which is the usual MO of whataboutism -- slinging the charge of hypocrisy in order to hide your own.

    I've condemned both sides. If you won't accept my own statements about my own beliefs and you won't use the search feature, that isn't my problem. I owe you nothing. I've told you my beliefs and told you how to verify. My charity is over. If you won't discuss the topic, I won't help you continue trying to distract from it. Talk about this topic if you want any further responses. I won't hold my breath.

    It's always an option. I almost always vote libertarian.

    People love their teams, though. They love re-electing the same clowns that got us into this mess.

    The NYPD deliberately increases the trigger pull of their service weapons to 12 pounds because they felt the 5.5 pounds of pressure for a standard Glock trigger was too light and would lead to negligent discharges from adrenaline-filled cops in high-stress situations.

    "Thrown in jail"

    ...and bailed out by democrat funded activist groups. But Air Force veteran Ashli Babbit gets a fatal bullet. Such equitable treatment.

    Not sure if you saw the same video. The scene was frightening; a maniacal crowd was bashing through a door through a narrow corridor. I'm guessing that you could place all humans in that cop's exact position, and a significant percentage would fire.

    I need more information to judge a complete stranger on.

    The Antifa and BLM "anarchy" was about the most transparent series of false flag attacks on the very principle of peaceful protest that could be financed by the Billionaire's Cabal and just because some people are willfully blind to this attack on our basic rights doesn't mean we're all going to be that way forever. You've been consistent in believing Trumpian propaganda no matter how obvious it was and so have I in seeing through it. I will keep my eyes open as long as yours are tightly shut.

    No it's not my problem you failed to vet your sources, so my argument is with you not them.

    How much "democracy" do we have when the voting machines can be hacked?

    Public due process hearings should have been held as soon as the Trump team offered sworn statements from witnesses alleging election rigging. Everything that happens now will just be typical crude political retribution.

    Which is why it's absolutely critical to not place your officers in situations in which they may fear for their life when dealing with crowds like this. There needed to be more cops.

    WITH is "deep state"? Who are they, where can I find them? Is it real or the product of some diseased mind? Inquiring minds want to know.
