    So far I have not seen any heavy handed police locally. I know of one man rubber bulleted in his yard near the riots. Poor idea to go out when he did. Most of the mess seems to be away from the ghetto area and near the city offices. ( my city does not have real ghettos like some back east). So far there aare not mass arrests.

    I remember when they would surround an area and move in tightening the noose and sweep everyone into a fenced area. I half hope and half fear such again. It is getting hotter which brings out the tempers on both sides.

    Simon: i wish the gun debate was over. it will never go away.

    Chicago seems to have a step up in violence. Strange as it is a gun free city and murder is unlawful there

    If you want to see real violence try Ireland during the 20s. Or Venezuela s socialist utopia.

    Many different groups of people all put into a basket!. Its's the coronavirus.. how does that sound? stupid?

    Just because that is happening at the same time does not mean its the cause.. it might have contributed to the level of stress.

    The protesters of police brutality... protest. some peacefully, some might be angry because they were mistreated

    The angry people with primitive education... will react in a primitive manner. And this might be the trigger and their excuse to destroy.... is this the same group? not necessarily.. they might be out there with the rest.

    Thieves... steal.. and this is a good opportunity for them to steal with less consequences (for them)

    People with coronavirus... you bet there are out there in any of the groups

    Anarchists? This is a good one. I read many people call them anarchists even regular news... a poor use of the word since there are many kinds of anarchism.... the majority of the people looting don't even know what that means... which in essence is the abolition of any hierarchical agency that is not necessary for the functioning of society... Ghandi, Tolstoy, Chomski, Thoreau all believed in some type of anarchism.

    The protest is not about the George Floyd... that is the trigger... every person might have something different to protest.... what many people are tired of is the abuse of power from law enforcement....

    Any interaction where a police officer goes above and beyond of what he is suppose to do is abuse of his power... a simple request for ID when there is no probable cause of any crime constitutes an abuse of power...

    Out of state "protesters" arrived today by busses in our town. Protests are scheduled for tomorrow. Most shops are desperately hanging on since COVID lockdowns. Owners were installing plywood tonight and closing stores in anticipation. We have a very small minority community in our small California town. I hope nothing happens. These same "protestors" (Anarchists") were run out of a small Oregon town a couple of days ago by armed residents performing a counter-protest. The protesters seemed to have exited sheepishly on videos.

    Who is paying for the gas and bus rental, food, and lodging? The custom shirts? Bolt cutters and crowbars? Molotov cocktails and spray paint? Pallets of bricks have been dropped in advance at some venues. $$$$ ????

    The riots started in Los Angeles 25 years ago this week - what a wild coincidence. The cops who beat the snot out of Rodney King were acquitted and all hell broke loose, just the same kind of thing as what's going on now.

    I'm curious - were any improvements or changes made in the policing methods as a result of the chaos and mayhem?

    I wrote to an editor of one of the L.A. newspapers and asked him to give me some direction of how to research the subject. I'm curious to see if anything got any better in their city; if they learned the lessons from wholesale destruction by outraged justice-seekers. Or was it just a useless horror.

    It’s disturbing and disgusting to see the reaction of some folks. It’s almost like —-well this is what happens when minorities are disrespected. It’s what you should expect. We must still treat these rioters with kid gloves.

    This mindset is truly head scratching to me.

    No, the mayhem is both destructive and pointless and the underlying problem continues to fester.

    I pointed out farther up this thread that the police have been filmed deliberately shooting at reporters and that instead of helping, this only fuels the perception that that they are abusing their power.

    At least three people didn't like to have that elementary cause and effect relationship pointed out, so for their benefit:

    Here's independent photojournalist Linda Tirado (Minneapolis)


    Here's CBS sound engineer John Marschitz (Minneapolis)


    Here's KPCC reporter Adolfo Guzman-Lopez (Long Beach)


    Here's Los Angeles Magazine's Samuel Braslow (LA)


    Again, any person in full possession of their faculties should be able to grasp why this is wrong.

    (Unless of course they're confused over some of the basic differences between the U.S. and Russia...)

    The whole incident is race baiting, with the purpose of eliminating all protests. The lamestream media cannot be trusted to present the whole story to the public, but they will present the whole truth to the jurors on the case. This happened in 1992, when Rodney King was killed. They presented only half the story, and then when the jury acted on the whole truth, people rioted. This case cannot be trusted as being truthfully presented.

    Then, most of the protests began peacefully. Antifa shows up and starts the riots, blaming the original protesters for the problems. Usually, they come from out of town to start this trouble, destroying homes and businesses while blaming local black people. This starts more race fights. As I see it, everyone has the right to peacefully protest, with the violence only as a last resort (and even then, it needs to be directed against the tyrants responsible and not against the whole area). Once this is played, it stops being "protest" and becomes a war.

    What happened here is that Antifa shows up every time a peaceful protest happens, and starts looting and setting fires. Then, regular protesting gets banned--even when the local authorities blame outsiders, try telling that to the state governors that are looking at an excuse to lock down protesting. At this point, they can impose another coronavirus lockdown for nothing, and push for mandatory vaccination with microchipping, without fear of more protests because it will now be illegal.

    Yes, they did put a "terror group" label on antifa this time. But, that won't do any good. It will simply continue, to successfully get us all microchipped. Will Soros, the scumbag responsible for financing this, get brought to justice? No. Will Gates, who is trying to get us all microchipped using this coronavirus as a pretext (and, even if it really was that serious, it is not worth being microchipped because I would rather "kill Grandma" with this virus than see myself, and Grandma, and everyone else, turned into greys), be prosecuted? No--and not even a whimper for fear that Antifa will escalate it into more pointless violence and the original protests be grounds for arrests and long jail time.

    So many might see the riots as simple race baiting. They might see the pandemic as a simple attack. But it is all being orchestrated to get us all microchipped and become greys. Which will be way worse than getting coronavirus (which is more likely to be a normal cold, but even if it really was that bad, it would still not be nearly severe enough to warrant becoming greys for). It will be worse than the depression, the famine, and even the race wars that are coming. And, remember, due to the riots, the First Amendment is gone (the Second, too).

    Dude....

    The police did not kill Rodney King. He died in 2012.

    SARS-CoV-2 is not the common cold

    Nobody is going to microchip you

    I had to drive thru Boston today for work related matters and I was saddened to see so many windows boarded up because of the bad protesters. Entire retail neighborhoods have been damaged and for what??? The Suffolk County DA held a news conference yesterday and pretty much said blacks have been dealing with inequalities for years and she can understand why these people are rioting as they are. She has a history of letting hoodlums get away without prosecution if they didn’t commit murder. After her news conference it’s easy to see she is supportive of the rebel rousers.

    So much for law and order.☹️
