    Now, I totally support teaching de-escalation tactics to our law enforcement officers, which might help avoid situations similar to the Floyd incident, but at some point, people have to understand that a good number of criminals are violent and the police might have to use deadly force.

    For the second time in a decade, the anti-officer sentiment is putting cops in danger, because brainwashed morons fall for the media's narrative. Despite the stats, we have members of this very forum who think there's systemic racism in the treatment of suspects. It's the media's fault, and now we're seeing the fallout from the idiocy.

    All these empty corporate gestures are amusing though. We're with you in solidarity! Well, no, we won't be rebuilding our stores in the neighborhoods you $#@!es burned down but...hey, we'll always have Blackout Tuesday. Fight the Power!

    Kind of neat but I don't think escalating things with Trump is going to have a good outcome.
    Virtue signaling to distract from the fact the mayor has lost control.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    Like BLM trending in 2016 and now 2020? Coincidence?

    Why isn't this painted on the street approaching the Minneapolis State House?

    I love the protests. It is the American way. I have no problem with what she did - it is a form of protest.

    The riots - no.

    It's not protest, it's just virtue signaling by a politician who has nothing else to offer.

    Agree, though, protests, yes! Riots, no.
