In all of the dozens of riot-inducing videos, I think in every single case, it’s someone resisting arrest.

Another case of police under a Democrat Mayor and Democrat controlled council attacking an unarmed black man. Why do these Democrat City Officials keep attacking African Americans?

That’s almost true, but doesn’t mean they were good shots.

But it gives lie to the cries of racism.

Not in itself it doesn’t. One could preferentially shoot a particular ethnic group at the slightest sign of resistance and not others.
Please nobody misunderstand the previous sentence.

Showing us the horrors of Trump’s America is supposed to make people vote for him again?

Seriously, How on earth could someone think we’ll get less of this if we re-elect him?

More whites are shot by police than blacks. People counter that by stating whites are a higher percentage of the population, which is true, but they never follow it up with another fact...Blacks commit more crimes as a percentage of the population.

(Obviously, it's from The Bee)
I just thought that the last sentence was hysterical.

You think you'll get less with Biden?

We won't for a while. The threat of more rioting is not a reason to vote Democrat. Trump is not the cause of the cause of the riots. It is just the continuing efforts of the left to ratchet everything up to 11. Been doing it for four years now.

Obviously there will be less rioting if Biden is elected. At least of this type.
One would imagine we’d see more activity on the right, but that would take time to develop.

I’m pretty convinced that the real “generation gap” for me is that there isn’t even a pretense for interest in or need for real news anymore. People think that rhetoric and satire is the height of intelligence, and these are the only skill sets needed to run things. I find it tedious and boring when not destructive.

When LD mentions that the shootings usually happen in cities controlled politically by the left, you test the rigor of his thinking by asking him to specify a null hypothesis. Then you blame Trump for the rioting 5 minutes later.

The right does not have the resource of angry/nihilistic young people in urban centers to draw from.

I agree. For better or worse, this chaos will be drastically reduced if Biden wins.

The media alone has the power to drastically reduce it. They only need the motivation to do so. An "I told you Biden would be awesome!" would provide that motivation.
However, lots of folk would have an issue with casting their vote based on a threat of violence. I would hope that we could all understand that.
