"We're live on TV so we shouldn't give this business owner anytime of day so that we can craft our narrative"

 

[R.Caerbannog]

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.

So...MP Battalions on alert.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Pentagon takes rare step of putting military police on alert to go to embattled Minneapolis.

Swear Words Bad Mmkay

What a joke to ignore a real American who cares.

Honest question, why hasn't Antifa been labeled as a terrorist organization yet?

'"Incidents?" You need the NG for "incidents?" What a way to craft your words, Governor...

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Fuck off, Minneapolis.

I'm going to bed.

I post very little, but a protest is being organized for Raleigh tomorrow. That is all.

So Portland has rioting, fires burning and now the Justice center has been broken into. "Protestors" are smashing computers and whatnot, SWAT is going in...

Very interesting comments from the ME in the criminal complaint against Officer Chauvin.

See third paragraph below.

If this is true, it probably explains why there was a 2 hour delay to an expected press conference by the County Attorney yesterday afternoon.

It certainly complicates the issue. It also also further emphasizes why it's so foolish for local officials to be opining on the matter. I have to believe they'll have a second examiner review as well.

If that knee was corona, that would be considered the cause of death. Just saying.

 

[medicchick]

And now a shooting and the justice center/police station is burning...

 

[Blizzard]

Governor of MN just finished another pointless press conference where he basically conceded to riots throughout the weekend. A complete clusterfuck.

Key takeaway: Don't expect the government to protect you.

From a tactical stand point, if I were in charge of the protesters I would be hitting the suburban shopping areas tonight.

History has shown that an army living off the land can ill afford to linger in an area that is denuded of resources.

Honest question, why hasn't Antifa been labeled as a terrorist organization yet?

Same as why the KKK and Aryan Nation aren't; because (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Domestic groups as a whole aren't designated like that.

From the FBI page on Extremist Groups

Violent extremists based in the United States have different beliefs that lead them to commit crimes and acts of violence. Some of the most common domestic ideologies are listed here. It is important to note that it is legal to have hateful or extremist beliefs as long as you don’t commit crimes or violence based on those beliefs. The right to assemble (or gather) in groups is also protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Nothing illegal about supplying "protesters"

Why would you leave the start of that sentence of of your quoted text?

The combined effects of Mr Floyd being restrained by police

All the medical examiner said is he didn't find evidence of those two causes of death, not that the officer played no role.

Now, I'm just the most basic of basic EMTs, but I'm sure one of the other medics/docs on this board can explain how Floyd's CAD and Hypertensive Heart Disease may have been exacerbated to the point of (probable heart failure) by a man kneeling on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

What's the quote from that movie Network? "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"?

I'm surprised Durham doesn't have something planned or something going on. I mean, here they pretty much protest over just about anything these days. That's disappointing. Now I have to drive 30 minutes to Raleigh to sit on the sidewalk with some popcorn and watch.
