    A leader would have let the protestors know that he empathizes with their pain and look for a way to show them he knows there is a problem. But Trump lacks empathy and doesn’t care if cops kill black people.

    We just don’t support judge dred policing. If he’d just been arrested nobody would have protested.

    were lucky Trump did not get his way and microwave the protestors

    "Trump Admin Wanted to Use 'Heat Ray' on Protesters Which Pentagon Refused to Deploy in Iraq"

    https://www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-heat-ray-protesters-1532521

    "The Trump administration sought to use a "heat ray" that the Pentagon refused to deploy in Iraq to deal with protesters who were forcibly cleared from Lafayette Square so President Donald Trump could have a photo op in front of a historic church, according to reports."

    Trump wanted to microwave protestors in order to get a photo op with an upside down bible... so Christian of him, Bad <or sick> guy!

    So you are also claiming that Person A committing a crime is somehow Person B's fault.

    Thanks for reinforcing that this is a leftist way of thinking.

    No. I have no idea where you read that, nor what was "leftist" about my post.

    What exactly are you claiming?

    Good god if you're going to jump in, at least know what is being discussed.

    AJ blamed Trump for something other people did. I said this is a leftist thing. You then do the EXACT SAME THING by somehow attributing the rioting now to Trump.

    I'd advise you to do the same.

    I did no such thing. I contrasted the Trump administration with the Obama administration. Maybe it went over your head, I dunno.

    Leftist this, leftist that. Lmao. I'm far from a leftist. But you go ahead and "say" whatever you want.

    Your posts make no sense. Sounds like uncontrolled anger to me.

    Funny, I watched that movie a couple days ago. It’s an awesome movie.

    but I agree, I don’t want judge dredd policing either. I also don’t want garbage humans who do the things Floyd did getting more outrage at their deaths than fine upstanding officers, which make up the overwhelming majority of officers. Police brutality is a statistical anomaly

    You know your statement is not true, and yet you made it.
    Why do you make statements you know are not true?

    Floyd got more outrage because it was someone tasked with protecting and serving. Someone who got to take their gun and go home after it happened.
    We expect criminal **** heads to commit crimes. We don’t expect those who enforce the the law to break the law.

    Yet, that doesn’t justify the outrage towards all cops to the point that people are attempting to block hospitals to ensure the deaths of wounded officers.

    It doesn’t justify the false narratives that blm creates about how bad it is to be black around police...when again its a statistical anomaly.

    It doesn’t justify the constant demonizing of police that has resulted in a massive increase in violence towards them.

    Yet...thats the bed democrat leaders made and police are suffering because of it.

    And it wasn't just Floyd. Floyd was the catalyst.

    The media and dems and blm constant irrational and objectively incorrect narratives that are demonizing of the police absolutely are at fault here.

    You're taking isolated incidents and painting whole groups of people. Nobody supports violence against police. That every nutjob can't be stopped doesn't make that so.

    That’s true, it was the last decade of amped up false narratives from the left about police.
