There are protesters exercising a Constitutional right.
There are looters (and of all shades) breaking and stealing that have no right to do so.
There are two separate events.
The first invites the presence of "officers of the peace" to maintain order and protect everyone, including those demonstrating.
The second invites armed enforcement officers prepared to suppress thieves and hooligans of whatever color/type.
Beating up demonstrators is reprehensible.
Violence used to put down violence is to be expected.
If one goes into the street to demonstrate, one should not have to fear officers of the law.
If one goes out to steal, the fear should be very real.
That was one weak account of the story. Why do the "good" ones need their bail paid so that they can "protest" in "good faith" again?
The "good ones"? Simply because the police aren't differentiating between "good ones" and looters. They're just rounding people up, and the looters are hiding amongst the protestors.
Why do we keep having to explain simply, common sense concepts to conservatives? Are you people incapable of figuring things out for yourselves based on the information and evidence in front of you? Why must others always tell you what to think? You don't fact check, you don't think for yourselves, you just parrot whatever Dumb Donald tells you.
How much death, damage and destruction does Trump have to oversee and mishandle before you fools wake up? Cities are aflame. An epidemic is raging unchecked throughout the nation. The National Guard has been called up in 24 states and DC to deal with rioting. Where is Donald Trump in all of this? Tweeting hate and inciting violence. Pushing blacks to go back to work while black people are dying in much higher numbers from covid19 than white people.
For months, Norman, you have had that stupid avatar of Trump pushing CNN to its death. You've been promoting the idea of death to all Democrats. Of starting another against civil war against the left. Why aren't you cheering now Norman. This is what you said you wanted all along.
Donald Trump told you that he would undo everything that Obama has done. 40 million unemployed, the country falling deeper into debt every single day. Record numbers of farm bankruptcies two years running. Worst economy since the Great Depression. Race riots throughout the country. A pandemic raging unchecked.
Donnie's work is done.
