The police need to start bringing their A game to the riots. This is nothing more than Antifa and other funded BLM groups running amok at this time. Round up the leaders. Cut off their funding. They'll all go back to their mommy by the end of the day.
I agree this desire to create "safe spaces" for cops while people just torch an entire city is asinine.... These pricks signed up for a job that was inherently dangerous, and they sit on the sidelines while a city burns..... it's so wrong on so many levels.... If I was a business owner or even a home owner in one of these cities I'd be wondering WTF is going on?
Our police need to learn from the French police. They handled huge demonstrations including, rioters burning and destroying businesses. French police has been using more lethal police weapons that maim and seriously injure demonstrators. Yellow jackets and unions demonstrating was never the same. They are smaller in numbers now. If police did their jobs, it would have been a different result. Of course, Democrat politicians would have had the DA charge the police for violating the civil rights of Antifa and BLM thugs so, that is another matter. Police has been neutered by their Democrat politicians. See, they made a publicity stunt of calling the National Guard after businesses has been looted, destroyed and burned. To make it seem the Democrat governor and Democrat mayor did something about the riots when they let it get out of control purposely.
Los Angeles 1992 Black business owner tries to explain that "I came from the ghetto too." Deja vu all over again.
Wow the pain in that guys voice at the beginning.. is sad, people work so hard for to be a bussiness owner... there's no recovering this time around.... any business that got burned yesterday is permanently fucked... they were already underwater to begin with, due to the wuhan virus, there is no getting through six months and an insurance settlement.... There is no return for a small business owner who got torched yesterday It's incredibly sad
They needed to bring their A game day one, now it's a much more difficult task. The force needed today is much more extreme than was needed 4 days ago. Now we're going to see the images in the streets that the media lives for, cracked skulls of the pretty white girls, couple of dead black guys laying on the curb, and they'll run those images endlessly. Worse, I'm not sure that does the trick. We have a confluence of events, the perfect storm. The Covid shit and all the distrust from that, an election year, Trump and his f'n tweets, and now a crime so over the top it's impossible to believe this can happen. A cop literally murders a guy in broad daylight AND three other cops watch and do nothing, nothing at all. This one isn't going away easily. A very long summer ahead. Ugly and will get worse, much worse.
They are sitting on the sidelines because the mayors are telling them to. They are being told to stand down.
That's fine. Let them destroy democrat led cities. Business will think twice before ever opening in those places again. Let the animals that did this wonder why they can only get liquor stores and Dollar General in their neighborhoods and they have to drive 60 miles to find a Walmart. Businesses and taxpayers will flee to safer and more friendly locales and they'll all continue to flush themselves down the tube. I'm OK with it at this point.
This is one of the important points. Riots like this with wide-scale looting causes major retail businesses to not re-open in the community. Target, Walmart, large retail stores, and most grocery stores will simply shut down these looted locations. Earlier studies done on this shows that it normally takes two decades for these businesses (once shutdown) to come back to the city. Of course, this leads to population flight, other businesses shutting down, and further hollowing out of downtown core areas (rather than re-vitalization) --- leading to a further demise of the city with its remaining (typically poor) population.
There's another reason people need AR-15s. Let me remind you of the panthers: When you show up armed and protest peacefully the government suddenly has a vested interest is listening to your problems. The 2nd protects the first. Remember gun control came from trying to stop blacks from owning firearms. Look up the mulford act and the history of the NRA. The NRA was pro gun control to stop the panthers from exercising their 2nd amendment right. On your point about the media calling it a militia. It's worse. Anderson Cooper called the armed protests white male weekend warriors pretending to be soldiers. Yet the riots are called violent protests. There are two worlds. The one you actually see and the one the media wants you to see. Turn off the media.
