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

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.

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.

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

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

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

[Horace]

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.

After months and months of destruction, killing, assaults and arson, CNN gets the memo: "Protests Riots have to stop because it's showing up in the polling."

If blm leadership would only ask can't we all just get along.

That would fix it right up.

One thing I know for sure. When you reward temper tantrums by giving in, you will ultimately get even more of the same.

These riots are specifically about police killing unarmed black men. These deaths are occurring because of massive failures at City Hall.

"It is just the continuing efforts of the left to ratchet everything up to 11. Been doing it for four years now."

Good summary. Succinct.

Ok so kind of as we expected. He was being arrested for a violation/domestic crime, resisted arrest including a taser, and had a knife or was reaching for one while the cops yelled for him to stop.

It’s mind boggling this is even controversial.

[Rainman]

I wonder if this is a version of suicide by cop.
Like, "I'm a loser, I'm high, and I don't care what happens next."

You would have to be high on something, maybe + drunk, to walk away from cops with their guns pulled, knowing that if they start shooting, there are kids in the car that could be killed.

No. Even if I were high as a kite, I would never put my kids or anyone's kids in jeopardy. That's like basic instinct or something.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

There is another version of the cop’s perspective of what he saw and witnessed that the MSM will never ever talk about.

That version could be deeply wrong and murder even but the fact that the MSM deems it wrong to even air it is so worthy of a national conversation.

[jon-nyc]

Have the cops released their side of the story? I’ve not seen it. Not that I’ve looked that hard.

[George K]

[jon-nyc]

I don't put this in the same category as the 'fiery but otherwise peaceful' protest.

It matters whether he had the knife on him or not when they shot him.
