They've had riots every night in minnesota for the past week.

The rioters have less than an hour to gear-up and stock-up!

Just like the Capitol protests....

Apparently not according to some 

It takes peaceful protesters to stop the riotous protesters.

I think that I agree with this sentence if I am reading it correctly

Not sure you get it both ways.  Until that organization stands up and calls for no riots, you can’t separate their terrorism

 No

Then you do not understand the definition of the word “contradict”

I have no idea what u think about it because only blm riots are mentioned here. Which was my point 

Another lie, the Capitol protests were talked about extensively

“Extensively” lol 90 percent of the posts didn’t go 2 sentences without saying something about  blm protests or how it was really antifa. Either way we have had this argument 10 times already so just refer to the beginning pages. I’m not rehashing it again. I can’t take the whole Dixiecrat spiel again this week. We already had  to read the fbi/Russia fake or not argument for the 20 th time this week and all the posts were identical to the original 20 conversations. My goal for 2021 is to only have new conversations not rehash the same opinions which aren’t going to change 

Sounds like people jumped the gun protesting the cop shooting the teenager in Columbus yesterday.

I feel like even after seeing the video people are still defending the girl and calling the cop a murderer. I’m currently getting attacked on fb for calling it a sad but legal shooting. If the movement is going to maintain credibility these shootings have to be looked at individually. Cops aren’t going to try to taze a person with a knife trying to stab someone even if you are the one who called them

Yeah, I waited for the video and seems like it was justified. Hard to say otherwise what the cop should have done when you clearly see the knife. Ideally, you want others there before it gets to that point to deescalate the situation, but when that cop rolled up to it, it was past the point of nonviolence. He literally rolled into a fight.  He saved the woman from being stabbed is how it should be framed. 

Reminds me of the recent shooting of the guy in Westerville at the hospital a few weeks ago. The cops fucked up in allowing the guy to get a gun into the hospital, but gave him every chance to get rid of it before they were forced to fire and kill him. 

I do find it interesting how quickly body cam footage can be provided when it helps the police 

Watch the very beginning, when the suspect knocks the first girl to the sidewalk. The dude there puts the boot to that girl as the suspect goes after the other girl in the pink.

Officer shoots, then the dude starts lipping off.

She’s just a kid after he kicked a kid while she was down. I’m guessing he was one of the bystanders who rushed to Facebook/Twitter as well and push the narrative the cops killed an innocent black girl. 

Meanwhile we have people doxing the officer and giving out his home address on Twitter and nothing happens to them

People always have some dumbass question that shows they don’t know how guns work. “Why did the girl have to be shot four times? Why couldn’t they have shot her in the arm?” Just fucking stop with that already. Occasionally someone makes a bad decision and needs shot. Sorry it was a 16 year old and it was four times in the chest, but that’s what happens when you have a knife and you’re attacking other people.

And that's why they are so reluctant to release body cam footage, before they can develop and explain clearly what happened and whether it was justified.

You can take this instance, for example, and it can be clear to 99% of people that it is justified.  But guess what?  That still leaves you with an angry mob of 100's.

So long as the sensationalists on the left continue to promote and enable the false narratives things will only deteoriate further.

The White House official statement pushing “police violence” and race angle. Fails to mention the officer saved another female from being stabbed/ possibly murdered. #unity

Thank you.

Who else cringed when Pelosi thanked George Floyd for sacrificing himself for justice?

I'm sure he didn't want to die.  No one offered him up as a sacrifice, nor did he choose to be "sacrificed".  Just seemed like a very awkward and somewhat insensitive political grandstand.
