Yet days later nobody is occupying or setting fire to the police station. The worst that’s happened is some graffiti…
There was never a siege. If the police had just stayed inside their building and let the protesters be this would have never become an issue. Set up barricades outside the station if you’re scared; don’t try to shut down entire blocks. And then don't go arbitrarily moving those barricades. They're playing Battle Royale. Maybe there was a "credible threat" on day 1-2 of the protests when Minneapolis was burning, but that threat clearly never materialized.
I personally don’t buy the Trojan Horse theory. I do think SPD realized their strategy was wrong, but I think there was actually a wise decision somewhere up the chain to change course and de-escalate. Retreat and regroup. Let the party run its course and die down, open a dialogue, and resolve this through methods other than brute force.
LOL.........He's calling it a peaceful protest. You guys keep proving my point.
All I've been saying from the beginning is that the right wing media is intentionally blowing it WAY OUT OF PROPORTION, and many of you willingly jump in head first.some interesting words in his comments:
behavior is "unpermitted" - presumably against the law. peaceful protest is not against the law.
"mostly" peaceful protests. acknowledges that some of this is indeed not peaceful protesting
hopes it can be resolved peacefully. acknowledges that it is not a peaceful protest since great care must be taken to resolve the situation without violence erupting.
Why, the mayor ought to charge a 500% tariff on utilities and importation of food and fuel. Stop picking up the garbage. Allow NO ONE in or out without a passport just like is required now to simply go to Canada or Mexico. Anyone that crosses the border should be captured and sent back immediately. When the try to get out confiscate any state or federal identification. Let them be their own country.I heard that Trump was going to cut off the power to some of these skinny jean buildings. That should take them about an hour before they freak out and leave.
