I can't find anything to verify this, but if it's true shits about to really hit the fan and fast.

Seems as if it could be a possibility. A few places are reporting on it. Honestly, if this shit gets any worse I could see it happening. Pentagon Orders Military Police To Prepare To Deploy To Minnesota

I'm curious as to how you see this adding value? I'm asking in all sincerity.

I don't see it, so could you please elaborate for me?

I see the value in pretty much any video from these riots, as that gives us a picture of what is actually happening. If there's value in sharing a clip of a man getting assaulted and (possibly) killed on video, there's value in a clip of a man threatening the crowd with a weapon, getting jumped for it, and then trying to paint himself as an innocent victim to reporters.

Now if you're talking about my commentary of the clips?
It adds no more or no less value than anyone else's.

This is being organized. They waited for the opportunity and this was it to exploit.

Please prove me wrong.

Granted I'm speaking from one viewpoint but that's one thing I've noticed all over social media is that during the daytime protests have largely been peaceful with no real violent altercations (at least compared to the night time), but once night hits, a growing number of rioters appear to be Antifa. Not only that but that's what a lot of reports are coming out saying that there have been people in crows encouraging mass vandalism then running away as soon as media attention or LE showed up.

I only want to see them here if they're going to do a massive drop into the city, Red Dawn style. That'd be kick ass to see.

Aside from that, I'd just like our "leaders" and law enforcement to get their shit together; after 4 days, seems they're finally getting it done tonight. But there is going to be a shit ton to account for after this all settles down.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Good night Minneapolis. You can still fuck off, but not as hard as the past few nights.

My old MSIII Master Sergeant executed his retirement jump this morning...but don't think they're "mobilizing" for anything else.

Having trouble attaching the video, but there are intermittent explosions going off within earshot.

Can't determine if they're fireworks or something else.

ETA: As best I can see from twitter, people are still down marching (on sidewalks) and chanting "you can't demand shit" to the police telling them it is now an unlawful gathering.

Police are deploying CS canisters and what seemed to be flashbangs in one video.
That's what we're hearing here

Is she HOT?

No...and she's in high school. She's also wrong, a lot of Guard out tonight.

So, I drove past here roughly a hour ago after I passed by the first time.

That road the protesters are across?
The police blocked it off two intersections up from the road the protesters were facing to set up a detour, before the protestors were in the road.

So someone explain to me how gassing a peaceful protest, on a road the cops already closed off, way a good idea?

ETA: He didn't even finish his order to disperse.

Where are all the Constitutionalists now? Because right to assembly is a pretty fucking big one, but all I ever hear them talk about is guns

I think at this point the message has been received and anything further is setting the stage for more vandalism, looting, and violence. It's baiting.

Question - If cities are being burned down throughout the US because of riots, and there are not enough LEOs to handle the situation, do you let the cities burn or do you send in troops? If you send in troops and they are attacked, do the troops stand and take it or do they defend themselves? This is what I see taking place in the future if rioters realize nothing will be done to them.

The military will be used as window dressing in these riots. And we all know what happens to windows.

So when can we get an EO labeling ANTIFA an ITO?

That video is fucking disgusting.

"He can talk, he's fine."

Until he loses consciousness and the cop keeps kneeling on him for another 4ish minutes. For what?

He had three officers holding him down the entire time until the medics arrived, all over "suspected forgery"?

Videos like this are why people outside the LEO/military circles get the A.C.A.B. mindset

What upsets me more is that some people commenting on that video try to come up with the most redicilous excuses to why the officer definitly had to keep kneeling on a suspect's neck even when he was unconscious. I get standing up for the police, but I can't stand when ppl defend obvious malpractice, abuse of power and crimes like that.

That's a pretty powerful speech from Killer Mike. To bad some other cities don't have community figureheads like him which are willing/able to try and be a voice of reason.

I think at this point the message has been received and anything further is setting the stage for more vandalism, looting, and violence. It's baiting.

Are you saying the protestors were baiting, or the cops?
Because protestors had a permit to be where they were, and everything I've been able to find/hear from sources their is that it was peaceful up until the cops gassed them.

I guess we know how this will be played out during the election.

I'm saying the peaceful, non violent protests, which I absolutely agree with, are unwittingly providing an opportunity for these spoilers to come in and create mayhem. With the protest in place, all the ANTIFA assholes need to do is just show up and give a slight push over the edge. At this point, protests, however peaceful, are not going to do anything. They've been overshadowed by the bad actors and any action taken from this point on is going to be because of them. The guy was already arrested. There's already bi-partisan support and the recognition for the need for change. A peaceful protest does nothing except provide another opportunity to set the area on fire.

Screw that, just label them as an criminal organization and treat them as any other street gang.

Don't think it goes far enough and you can use more resources to counter them.
