Never! Ever! Give away a glazed donut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read more here: Caught on camera, police explode in rage and violence across the US - The Verge
The lawlessness didn't start with the protestors, it started with the police in major cities across the country killing unarmed Americans. They have been doing it for decades. The difference today is that its often on video. Now, we see police brutality on display across the country.
Now, I not saying that most police act this way. Most police are good people trying to do a hard job. The problem is they seldom will give up the bad ones.
All these armed to the teeth right-wing white guys that protested stay at home orders? Where are they now? Obviously, they don't give a **** about government oppression. Their bull**** is exposed now.

You'd have enjoyed that wouldn't you? Seeing white guys, running around with AR-15's, shooting looters, is that what you're looking for?
I am saying that these white guys armed to the teeth protesting a stay a home order during a pandemic say they are so concerned with freedom and against government tyranny, but when the government kills an unarmed black man in front of God and everyone, why did they not protest that? I am not saying they should be rioting or shooting looters, I am saying if they loved this country and freedom at all, they should have been out protesting the government killing unarmed minorities.
Not even if it distracts the cop long enough to keep his knee off the neck of an unarmed black guy? Can we make an exception? I'll buy you a dozen Krispy Kremes if we can.
Why is it that leftists accuse their enemies of things that they not only do, but that everyone knows about? It's generally known which side is pro-America and which is anti-America, and the common knowledge isn't wrong.
Anyway, I fully support the police protecting us from dangerous criminals. I have family members who live in and near big cities, and would prefer they not descend into chaos.
If the police beat these people into the ground.
And I was on the jury who tried them. I'd say not guilty, and would never budge.
Jury nullification.
I have noticed that the protests are generally pretty calm and organized during the day, but when the cops come out later on, things start to get ugly. It’s almost like they are trying to instigate problems so they can use that shiny new billy club they bought last week.
Yes, a lot of things have gone on for decades, but when a problem is addressed, it seems ridiculous to keep harping on it, nevermind use it as an excuse to destroy property and steal things. It's discrediting to say the least. It just looks like a greedy mob of miscreants!!

No, that's true. But it also isn't armies of cops. We're not seeing mass lawlessness of cops. Every force has it's assholes, and hopefully their rooted out and remove through normal processes. We don't want armed white guys out every time a cop ****s up, no matter what color the victim is.
I am saying that they are never anywhere to be found when there is real government oppression. Sure, they will take over a city hall when they can't get a haircut or go to a garden center during a pandemic, and they will take over a wildlife refuge when they don't like rules on grazing of public lands, but when the police kill an unarmed black man in broad daylight, in front of god and everyone, they are nowhere to be found.
Why? Because they really don't care anything about freedom, other than for themselves. There is no greater government tyranny than the government killing unarmed Americans in front of everyone, but when they do, all these white guys that are supposed to be so concerned with freedom are no where to be found.
How do you know they didn't protest?? Have all the protesters been interviewed?? Hardly. And if they were, do you think a liberal media would publicly pat some ultra right "freedom fighter" on the back??
They do, whether it suits you or not!!
^^ This. I’m surprised he was even charged.
I am one of those white people.
I found it about as amusing as minority folk do.
But I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out your angle here.
You'll note that he wasn't until it became clear it wasn't going to just blow over.
And the cops who aided and abetted the killing are still not charged.
I'll tell you what cameras have exposed. We have a whole lot of people among us that have no respect for the property of others. And the overwhelming percentage of them are young adults. The camera has shown us they come in all colors. They are thieves. They are violent. They are lawless thugs. And those of us who are law abiding citizens have watched this violence for 4 days seeing city after city being totally destroyed including infrastructure, monuments and historic sites. And our blood is boiling over it being allowed to continue.

I think the ultimate remedy is mandatory national service for everyone between 18 and 20. Two years doing something worthwhile might help some of these morons grow up.
Our high schools around here require every graduate to do so many hours of community service throughout their time in high school in order to graduate. It could include cleaning up litter, assisting Parks & Recreation, volunteering at food pantries, shoveling driveways and sidewalks, raking leaves for the disabled and elderly, volunteering to help with children's programs etc. I think it is a program all schools should adopt.
