Turns out another black guy got killed by cops in Louisiana just before this and there are riots there too:
Saturday night’s events came a day after Lafayette Police officers were called to a convenience store shortly after 8 p.m. Friday to respond to a “disturbance involving a person armed with a knife,” according to a statement from the Louisiana State Police.
There, police found Pellerin in the store’s parking lot with a knife, the statement says. When officers tried to apprehend him, Pellerin left and officers followed on foot. The police used Tasers as they pursued him, the statement says, “but they were ineffective.”
The officers shot Pellerin as he tried to enter a convenience store along NW Evangeline Thruway, according to Louisiana State Police. Pellerin was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
There are certainly elements who embrace the BLM marxist goals. However I think the majority are much more simply motivated–by staying in power and gathering votes to oppose “the other party”. Absolutely short-sighted. But not nefarious.
OK, but what alternative do you propose to get the situation under control? Right now there is endless rioting going on in certain cities, and new riots starting elsewhere. Should people be free to riot without consequence? Then there are some riots where people (looks like mostly antifa) are throwing bottles of shit and piss at cops and counter-protesters, that deserves a bullet.
So you are encouraging the use of deadly force against people for throwing poop and pee? Yikes.
I’m not sure what to do to stop the rioting. But I do know that encouraging police to use live ammo on crowds of protestors and rioters is about as anti-american as it gets and it’s suggestion should be met with scorn.
Fwiw, in Kenosha, the protest was apparently peaceful until the 8pm curfew fell. At which point armored vehicles, teargas, rubber bullets and riot police descended on the peaceful crowd to disperse them and drive them away from the park where they were gathered and into the streets where it became very non peaceful.
Where is the KPD statement in this? They have had enough time to interview everyone involved and craft a press release. Where is that?
Lately, in different locations they’ve begun to move in and harass residential neighborhoods. These aren’t the link their arms and sing hymns variety. These are the “wake up mf’ers” variety. Soon a neighborhood will go up in flames.
Yeah, and Democrat’s America is actively looting, smashing, burning, kicking and punching, and shooting night after night. Hmmm, what do these places generally have in common…
Oh like hepatitis? I don’t know about shooting, but some kind of overwhelming force that results in the end of any gathering, period…balloons full of human waste and bodily fluids is above and beyond.
In any sort of conflict there are lines that you don’t cross. Even war has rules. If two guys are in a fist fight and one kick the other in the balls and in response ends up shot or stabbed, you can’t really say it wasn’t fair. If all the shit and piss throwers were lined up against a wall and shot, I wouldn’t object.
Sorry, but we are ALL living in trumps America. He gets the blame, just like he gets the praise. What happens on his watch is his fault as he is the executive leader of this country.
Folks calling for the mass shooting of protestors, and rioters burning businesses. All happening in trumps America, on trump’s watch.
