National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[Cookie_]

Not to be overly snide, but my restaurant bought earpieces just like that to use with PMRs (Aka: half decent walkie-talkie) to use when I was turning dine-in levels of traffic through one little side office and a giant parking lot. It’s not as good as the ones I used on VIPSA trips, but they’re inexpensive.

Not saying this guy isn’t a cop, but you can’t rule out the possibility he’s just a leftist geardo.

Sure he could be a leftist geardo.
But if we've reached a point where any single protestor could possibly be a "George Soros funded ANTIFA instigator", then we've also reached the point where guys showing up with gas masks and ear pieces could be Police Instigators.

All I want is for social media and people with camera phones to catch assholes, whether protestor or government employee.

Okay, I spoke too fast.

Expecting "hundreds" of protesters in my city.

Cenotaph at rhe Alamo was vandalized a couple of days ago. 25 year old Hispanic is being questioned.
Black activist group (that over ran, and controlled the Alamo for a short period of time in the 70's) is having a rally a few blocks from the Alamo. Rt Wing activist have taken over Alamo security (same armed group ran the independent brown berets out of the Alamo in the 70's).

Oh, cool. So let me get this right.

Twitter- which the president just issued an executive order against- is the mode of communication where the president is threatening to allow the “shooting to start”.

Weird- I thought the national guard was a state entity.

Paging @R.Caerbannog to help me understand this one.

Question- are you willing to go “start shooting” to stop the looting here? Cause the boss just said that’s an option.

Also- I haven’t seen much mention here, on a. Military board. The CINC just said the military is there to start shooting at a civilian protest.

Thoughts?

Looters are shooting, remember when the looting starts the shooting starts.

Does this make her a hero or a villain in this story?

Stupid.

100% true. As they say in MN Carry Classes:
- You can shoot to protect your car if you are in the car; but you cannot shoot to protect your car from the house.
- You can shoot to protect your house once they are 'in' your house...but you cannot shoot them on your front yard *

* I'll take my chances if they have a can of gas and rags in their hands.

Hopefully they can't figure out who shot? FWIW-rumor has it that a 20 oz pop bottle filled with 5 oz of liquid can be used as an improvised sound reducer.

Don and Clear!

Those look like cops to me.

Cue temporary internment camps.

How's that curfew going?

Welp, that would definitely require the military to do.

Also, look at what's happening all around the country; imagine how many other cities would start burning if they announced they were going to start internment camps to control the population.

You can turn a sports arena into a holding cell, catch and release the locals. Put the out of towners into the county lockup. Those pasty white antifa kids are not jail ready.

Tonight's protest which was already a riot anyways has now been declared an unlawful disturbance. They will begin forcefully removing the crowd in Downtown Phoenix.

Some piece of a shit rioter just punched a reporter in the face on AZ Family.

Hazards of the job.

Again, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Maybe that's what POTUS meant?

He qualified his tweet stating exactly that and listing incidents of protesters shooting others.

FWIW, that is how I originally read it. Not the advocating of shooting looters, but highlighting the cause and effect.

St Paul PD made arrests last night...every one of them was not a resident of Minnesota.

Yeah, guess we will never know with his history of lying about literally everything, gaslighting, and walking back his previous statements.

Like every other dumbass thing he tweets, I guess if you’re a republican he meant one thing and if you’re anything else he meant another.

The mayor said in his statement compared to Minneapolis it was a "quiet" night.

That's a great statement, but the rioters in fact shot each other in Kentucky. So, it's not exactly implausible!

Yes the morons down here in KY shot each other. It is going to be another exciting night. Cincinnati and Louisvillie in the shitter

Or just maybe it's possible to be a republican/conservative and also think POTUS tweets/says really retarded things; like the tweet in question.

ETA: but with how some people blindly defend him, I can see where you're coming from.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Nope.

I’m a Republican, and simply by the amount of times I’ve been “reported” by members for challenging them on Trump’s words should tell you what you need to know about “that”.

Made me think of this.

If anyone's wondering how the rioters are moving around, getting fed, and getting supplied look up the Democratic Socialists of America. These guys and similar organizations are behind the rioting and unrest. Figure out who funds them and you figure out who's orchestrated this chaos.

Example from MN and the Twin Cities DSA branch:

Stay safe guys.

First aid supplies and PPE? This sounds very reasonable.

There is a decent protest outside the downtown precinct here in Colorado Springs.

What I didn't expect? Blue Lives and Black Lives Matter protestors on the same side of the street chanting the same things.

You're making shit up now. America isn't that united.

I swear to God I didn't believe it myself.

Signs I saw went

"Black Lives Matter"
"Cops kill people here too"
"Blue Lives Matter"
"No more Brutality"

And, while at a bar, we just had 50ish officers show up in full riot, and canisters emptied of CS. Lit the place up after one jewelry store broken into.
