    If you think it's about the guy the cops choked out, you haven't been paying attention.

    Like the St. Paul Police Chief says--we have to solve the underlying poverty problem that causes blacks to "intersect" (his term) with the criminal justice system. I'll go him one further and say we need to solve the poverty problem for everyone.
    Who said that?

    I've posted several to you. My job is done.
    Delusional.

    Antifa is part of the Left, not the Right, and is turning into the modern incarnation of the Klan (which was itself the Democrat Party resistance movement against the Republican-led federal government). They are unleashing organized violence on the American public. Their animus is motivated by a burning hatred for our country, and a grim determination to destroy it—and the neo-Marxist concept of “structural racism” has always been their preferred field of fight.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/resistance-has-become-insurrection_3374486.html

    The Left is engaged in a multi-directional press for socialism, the hollowing out of our rights at all levels of state and federal government, and the progressive chic of celebrities and elected politicians who, instead of decrying or even stopping the violence, are actually egging it on.

    From the launch of the baseless “Russian collusion” charges, through the sandbagging of Michael Flynn, to the impotent impeachment, the goal of the resistance turning into insurrection is clear: to destroy this presidency once and for all, and usher in a new, green, "progressive", totalitarian, socialist United States.

    For decades, a number of blue states have been in open defiance of federal law, especially regarding drugs and immigration. They’ve created “sanctuary” cities, and have refused cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resulting in needless deaths of many Americans. And they don’t care.

    From their bastions in New York City, Albany, Los Angeles, Sacramento, California, Chicago, and Lansing, Michigan, they have openly trashed the First Amendment’s guarantees of the free exercise of religion and peaceable assembly in deliberate overreaction to COVID-19, while simultaneously finding a “right” to violent mass protest and property destruction. They are no longer demanding a “redress of grievances”—they see US as the grievance itself.

    Designating the masked Left-Wing cowards of Antifa as terrorists is a good first step. The forces of Law and Order should not shrink from confrontation. While they are pre-staging weapons, bricks and fire bombs to attack innocent civilians and destroy property, killing people on our streets, is no time to play with the rainbow coalition of terror now being visited upon us by The Insurrectionists from the Left.

    As General Sherman warned:

    “You people … don’t know what you are doing. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don’t know what you’re talking about. War is a terrible thing!​

    If they keep demanding it with violence, at some point the Lawful Society will have to give them the fight they are demanding, and the Left-wing supporters of this conspiracy of insurrection will not like the results.

    I don't even believe that you believe your claims. We all know the truth. I urge you to drop the pretense.

    Why, you don’t believe there are many happy rioters-looters-vandals among peaceful protesters?

    There is no world in which you actually believe that this was the point being made. You are fabricating, exaggerating and then theatrically overreacting. It's not helpful, not to you, not to anyone else.

    Everyone knows that the insurrection being conducted on our streets, that is burning, looting, assaulting and killing is a Left-wing coordinated rebellion against the People of the United States, our system and the last presidential election.

    Real people are being hurt. Never trust a Utopian, they are killers. They claim that the Great Good they claim they are going to do, justifies the slaughter and bloodshed to get there. Only they never get there, they only get to the Blood Shed and Slaughter. I urge to release the fiction that this is a Right-wing Conspiracy, and embrace that it's Leftists engaged in destruction and take to every media platform you can reach and urge those on your side of the coalition to put down their weapons and go home, before what is already bad, gets much worse.

    These fools that are telling you that this violence and slaughter will result in our capitulation are as dumb as the Empire of Japan, well dumber, because the Empire of Japan didn't have that recent historic example like these Left Wing Insurrectionists do.

    If you have been protesting 72 (obscene) years, you have wasted a lot of time and not accomplished a thing but to call attention to race. Minorities are not doing any better because P-Patriot is out partying in the streets. They are doing better because they are overcoming the "victim status" you give them, getting educated, and not wasting their time on the vocation of "protest"!

    That's like me saying my hometown of Strawberry Az. is doing far better than New York! We've had zero cases.
    I bet Hawaii does better per capita than New Zealand. We are screwed up because we are a world power and the main target of China! Don't worry, we're getting a handle on it. Those of us in the heartland are not skeered. Watch the Socialist Blue States!

    If you think there's no connection between blacks dying more often from COVID-19, getting laid off because of the pandemic, cops choking out George Floyd, and their poverty, you're not understanding what's going on.

    We have too many poor people in this country--of all races.

    The suburb where I live has more people than Strawberry, AZ and zero cases. So what?
    You'd lose your money.
    We're screwed up and killing too many people.

    Here's how British Columbia (5m people), 2.5m in the Vancouver area, is doing.

    7D963F95-C5AE-4EF4-8192-2D3D35D21537.jpeg

    Why can't we do as well? Multiply every number by 66 to get a comparison with this country.
    There are no "socialist" states in this country. Pure propaganda.

    No one cared about Kate Steinle when she was killed by an illegal. The nation didn't rise up against illegal immigration despite hundreds of dead Americans.

    The murder in Minnesota was no more tragic than what happened to Kate Steinle.

    So...more directly on this thread's topic, in local news, we had a Target store looted last week.

    Texas Dept. of Public Safety investigators have positively identified several of the looters as associated with Antifa, the militant left-wing, anti-fascist political activist movement.

    They also say that it is possible that white supremacist groups have been involved in violence and criminal activities around protests, but authorities do not yet have evidence of that.

    I'll just leave this right here...

    According to the store clerks, George attempted to make a purchase with a fake $20 bill. The clerk refused the money. George left without incident but decided to hang out in front of the store, just standing around. In the meantime, just for practice, the clerk notified the police of the incident. The police then rushed right over because, you know, police in big cities are usually free to rush over to check fake $20s from people who have already left the scene. Happens all the time.

    Imagine their good fortune to find George still standing there. That’s what most people do after being caught with a counterfeit bill, right? Just walk outside and stand there.

    I find it odd that these two men, Derek (the officer) and George, may have known each other well. They used to work together for 17 years, apparently.

    I find it odd that the cop had his hands in his pockets while he put his knee on his friend's throat. Very odd. I find it odd that they did not just put him in the back seat of the cop car. They were literally standing right next to the door.

    I find it odd that a man who couldn’t get air was able to yell out repeatedly for a very long period of time, and did not struggle to live. Why didn't he call for help with all those people standing around filming him? He just laid there and passively "died."

    I find it odd that they just stood there and let people film this. I find it odd that most of Derek’s weight is on his right knee, the one on the ground, not the left knee on his friend, George. I find it odd the paramedics arrived on scene, approached so nonchalantly, then placed Derek’s very much alive (?) friend, George, into the ambulance without any sign of urgency.

    I find it odd that Derek’s neighbors never knew he was an officer. They stated they never saw him wearing a uniform coming and going. I find it VERY odd that a cop started the riots. Thank goodness for an ex who outed him. I find it odd that nearly everyone who was arrested for rioting and looting were from out of state. I find it odd that the National Guard was not brought in earlier, and that they were unable to get these riots under control immediately. I find it odd that these staged events only happen in Democrat run cities.

    I find it odd that this "racist" narrative happened shortly after Biden's racist comment last week. I knew they were trying to distract us from something. I find it odd that this happened just as COVID loses traction. Social distancing SUDDENLY flew out the window. Let's hope the masks and fear soon follow.

    I find it odd that COVID happened the moment the impeachment failed. I find it odd the impeachment happened the moment that Russian hoax failed. Can you see the pattern? Will you continue to chase the well orchestrated carrots? Or is there something in you that will stop for a minute and look for the truth? This is very interesting. Still a tragedy.

    Feel free to share this...I did

    Sorry, but that sounds like the Alex Jones' Sandy Hook conspiracy where all the children, teachers, police, firemen, news reporters and everyone else in the "mythical" town of Sandy Hook were really just "crisis actors", the event never happened, and it was all a diabolical false flag operation to control the population through fear for the children so that everyone would turn in our 2nd amendment rights. Jones chased that story for years before he finally had to admit he had been completely wrong.

    Where the heck did you come up with all that?

    Who are "the resistance?" Anyone who opposes this guy...?

    You're an anti-pot guy? Egads.
    We've killed 100,000 Americans because the idiot you still support dropped the ball.

    Why couldn't we have been like other countries that "bent the curve" and then flattened it?

    Just arrest and prosecute them.
    Why isn't President Dufuss locking them up?
    Who are the "you people" you're talking about? Are they "the resistance?"
    The "leftwing supporters?" Who are they? "The resistance?" "You people?"
    You know the truth?

    Hohhhhh-Kayyyyy...

    Oh, give it up already. No one is fooled.

    The Antifa/BlackLivesMatters Riots. Democrats finally admitting that the violence was organized:

    At least one big-city mayor is now calling on the federal government to investigate an “organized” effort to foment unrest and engage in rioting, as security experts in other cities discover that many of the weekend’s violent incidents may have been pre-planned and coordinated.​

    In Chicago, mayor Lori Lightfoot told media Sunday that she believes there is “strong evidence” of an organized effort to use the weekend’s anti-police brutality protests as a cover for violence, and said the city is speaking with at least three Federal agencies about a possible joint investigation.

    “There is no doubt. This was an organized effort last night,” Lightfoot said in a weekend press conference, referring to Friday’s unrest. “There were clearly efforts to subvert the peaceful process and make it into something violent.”​

    This Riot Ideology has been a part of the Left since the late-1960s when "progressive analysts" claimed that violence and looting constituted a "just" response to "agents of oppression" who stand in the way of their totalitarian "utopia". We saw this during the 1992 LA riots, when random looting and even killings were applauded by some radical activists as part of a glorious “rebellion” or uprising that they dream of.

    Vox scolds anyone who correctly refers to outbreaks of widespread mayhem and looting as “riots” rather than "righteous protests"; Mother Jones says that anyone using the word “riot” to describe violent looters is a "racist". The Fake News New York Times want to “de-funding” police forces. Slate endorsed the burning of the Minneapolis police station as “a reasonable reaction” and suggested that such wanton destruction is a “quintessentially American."

    You seriously want us to believe that they are acting as Apologists for White Supremacists? You really need to study this further, because that is ludicrous.

    National Democrat leaders, including Biden, have been clearly reluctant to denounce the violence. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison decorated the current violence with romanticism. Ilhan Omar claimed her constituents are “terrorized” by the presence of the police and National Guard, but not the Looters, Assaulters, Arsonists or Murderers.

    You seriously, with a straight face, are going to tell us that these folks are rationalizing the actions of White Supremacist groups? That doesn't even pass the giggle test, and this is a far more serious subject.

    Deep blue Mayors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a 38-year-old progressive ceded the streets to the most violent elements, even abandoning a police station that was set alight—a response former St. Paul Mayor and Senator Norm Coleman called “stunning.” Rather than contain demonstrations, some cities conceded critical urban space to the rioters to the point of threatening prime central city real estate. In Chicago, city officials, much like their Medieval counterparts, raised the bridges over the Chicago River to keep the protesters out of affluent parts of the central city.

    These mayors show no real concern over the rise of largely white, anarchist groups, like Antifa, who are committing acts of vandalism and violence, even over the objections of legitimate African American protesters.

    Just waiting for the media and BLM to get national attention. Media and BLM blow one solitary event into a crisis. Other groups, not allowing a good crisis go to waste, POUNCED on the opportunity.

    Throw international agitators into the mix as well. (Russia! Russia! Russia!....and China! isn't too happy about Trump either).

    Russia....2016

    "Russians used a fake Black Lives Matter page to confuse and stoke anger among the protesters. There were nearly 700,000 followers, but it's not clear how many were real."

    --

    Antifa today (left wing anarchists)...

    "Before protests began in New York City, organizers of anarchist groups began raising money for bail, recruited medical teams to deploy for violent interactions with police and planned how to target high-end stores, said John Miller, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism. "

    --

    Boogaloo Boies today (right-wing anarchists)...

    She also has been poring over images from the weekend protests and spotted some "boogaloo bois" in the crowds, carrying high-powered rifles and wearing tactical gear.

    "They want to co-opt them in order to start their war. They see themselves as being on the side of protesters and that the protesters themselves are useful in causing anarchy," MacNab said.
