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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Philly getting rocked now. I'm working the medic unit less than 10 miles north of Philly. My county lies half way between Philly and Trenton NJ. I have many friends on PPD and PFD in the middle of this fucking mess, including our own Policemedic, he is ok so far, busy.

My wife is staying at her folks until I'm done work. I'm not far from my pops, he has an armory.

Fucking assholes. Minnesota had the world stage to tell the story on murder of an American. They fucking blew it. Now, out of towners and Antifa are being bussed in to riot.

Who brings milk and helmets to a protest? Lol.

MLK is rolling in his grave...

For anyone near this shit, keep your powder dry, thank you Polar Bear for his message to me.

Guess social distancing is not required now?

'You're gonna kill me!': Dallas police body cam footage reveals the final minutes of Tony Timpa's life

Guess I'm supposed to be joining in the riots and looting now.

And the shooting has now killed a Fed and wounded another in Oakland.
Oakland: 1 federal officer killed, 1 wounded; police say shooting appears ‘unrelated’ to protests

ETA: The shooting took place less than half a mile away from the Oakland Police Headquarters where demonstrators gathered beginning around 8 p.m. to protest Floyd’s killing.

One of the guys in my unit used to be part of the MPs up in Minnesota.

He just sent us this info/photo from a buddy in his previous unit.

I know some people here probably have a (justifiable) issue with Shaun King, but he's the first one I've seen post this video so far.

Why would they pull him back out of the vehicle if he was already in the back?

Chief joins demonstrators in Norfolk as rally takes place outside police operations center

We did have protestors shut down the HRBT last night. Outside of that everything has been peaceful.

I barely made it out of Seattle. Full on curfew of 5 pm enacted. I-5 (main superhighway) closed in both directions.

Talked to a couple friends in Philly, and they are equally as undramatic as I am bout these sorts of things- they’re actually prepared for some nearly unfashionable outcomes.
