I have seen hot sauce in a purse..... joe Biden rapping..... Bernie sanders dancing with public enemy..... it is exactly the same concept.... Donald trump didn’t gas or shoot anyone..... he was going to the church and the protestors had to disperse bc they are not allowed near the president.... I doubt they were peaceful since I saw all the ones tearing down barricades and rushing the cops and secret service for several days.

The protest that was going on absolutely was peaceful until the police broke it up. While he was giving a statement that he was a friend of the peaceful protestors he was using gas on the ones outside the White House. He was literally lying in real time. The entire sequence of events was a circus, plain and simple. When was the last time a President in office did something like that? Even close to something like that?

I tried to look and all I saw was one five sec clip showing some cops pushing people back..... numerous news media ran with the story..... now this morning there is a new reports claiming that park police said that they were using smoke bombs( not tear gas) to try and disperse the crowd before they even knew about the president bc protestors weee hitting them with water bottles and other objects. They were also climbing on and defacing monuments.

DC mayor says using tear gas on protesters outside White House before curfew is 'shameful'

Peaceful Protesters Tear-Gassed Outside White House to Clear Space for a Trump Church Photo-Op

Not that it matters, I’m sure you’ve already come to the conclusion you want.

I haven’t come to any conclusion..... I want to see the protest..... not people being moved out of the way.....did you see the reporter a few nights ago in Minneapolis..... He was on air talking about from what he has seen it has been an overwhelmingly peaceful protest.... in the background behind him..... you can see the entire city burning down.

Doesn’t matter. We know what it was in this case.
My mom has heart issues that stay under control. I’d say if I handcuffed her and put my knee on her neck for 9 minutes, those conditions would manifest and she would die. I guess I could then say, Oh well, people doe all the time because their heart doesn’t function properly.

You’re the problem.

Why am I the problem? Because I pointed out that you didnt have a clue about what you were saying? You haven't even asked my feelings on the subject. Next time either know what you are talking about, or do a better job of researching it.

Not all protestors are looters. But I understand why you would blur them together.

They do blur together..... it has been a big waste of time...... How many lives have been lost or destroyed..... The protestors have basically become what they claim to hate.

Then you have to realize most aren't protesters or care about anything all this is suppose to represent. These are mostly dumb kids, thugs, criminals, and basic scum of our country taking advantage of a situation to steal, destroy, and wreak as much havoc as possible. They know for the most part they will have free reign to do whatever they want for a few days.

Saw the Illinois governor and Cuomo tell the Trump Administration “thanks, but no thanks” to the military intervening.

Ask the segregationist governors of the South Of the 1950s and 1960s about the President’s power to intervene when needed.

Yeah, no one is ever happy with the US Army getting involved in internal US affairs.

Cuomo Blasts Bill de Blasio for Refusing National Guard’s Help: ‘Inexcusable’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) revealed Tuesday that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) refused assistance from the state’s National Guard to thwart widespread looting as protests and riots rage over the death of George Floyd.

In his daily press briefing, Cuomo issued stinging criticism of De Blasio and the New York Police Department, saying Monday evening’s failed attempt to quell violence unrest was “inexcusable.”

“The NYPD and New York City mayor did not do their job last night,” Cuomo said. “I think the mayor underestimates the scope of the problem and the duration of the problem. What happened in NYC was inexcusable.”

Twitter Censors Rep. Matt Gaetz for ‘Glorifying Violence’ … Against Antifa!

Twitter censored a post from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after he suggested that Antifa terrorists should be treated in the same ways as Middle Eastern terrorists. Gaetz responded sharply, tweeting “Feels good to virtue signal now twitter. But this will be hard to explain later. See you in the Judiciary Committee.”

“Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?” asked Gaetz.

Birmingham officials start removing Confederate Statue after protesters tried to tear it down in the wake of George Floyd's death as black mayor welcomes the removal which breaks state law

Workers on Monday night began taking down a 115-year-old Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument in a Birmingham park after the city's mayor vowed to remove the offensive statues.

The process to remove the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument in Birmingham's Linn Park began on what would have been the 212th birthday of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy.

His birthday is still celebrated by the state of Alabama, even though many activists and community leaders have sought to change that.

The move to remove the statue came after Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin vowed to remove the monument after demonstrators tried to tear it down on Sunday night.

'The Legislature enacted a law that prevented cities from removing Confederate statues in the state of Alabama for all 169 cities, so Birmingham is not alone in this fight,' Woodfin said

A large crane removed the top section of the obelisk at the monument at around 10pm, followed by the other sections

A day earlier, protestors in Nashville, Tennessee, toppled a statue of Edward Carmac, a former politician and newspaper publisher who wrote editorials expressing racist views.
