Considering DeBlasio is supposed to be one of the most progressive mayors in the country and was congratulating NYPD on their restraint thus far and telling people they wouldn't get ran over if they weren't in front of police cars I'm not exactly hopeful for the future.

The amount of journalists assaulted by police violence is insane. This guy has a huge thread with more than 50 examples...

One photographer's eyeball got destroyed by one of those non-lethals shots. She's pretty cavalier about it though:

And about those store owners that need protecting... this VICE journalist was interviewing gas station owners when law enforcement come up, owners says hey this is private property and gets shot at by non-lethal rounds and flash bangs. Journalist clearly identifies as press, they walk up on him weapons aimed, put him on the ground then pepperspray his face as he is lying there...







I can't understand what's going in to the decision making in these incidents. Why would you shoot at identified journalists with cameras on you? Is it fear and adrenaline? Do they not have any protocols and training?
They are nigh untouchable and they know it.
They are the law and above the law and can do whatever they want. in their mind. And for the most part, they seem to be right.

If you wanted to be a demigod among men, signing up to be a militarized riot buster would be a good way to do that.

I wonder what % of cops have doubts and regrets about being called to anti-riot duty.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

The reason antifa is being designated a terrorist organization is because they are being funded by George Soros to incite riots as a political weapon. He does this shit regularly, sometimes he even funds both sides of divisive issues.

I have never been a fan of the police, but I do think they have an impossible job right now. Understand that many of these police just want to protect the city and the people in the city, but what is actually happening in these cities is more than just organic rioting. There are some very very dangerous people in some of these cities, and I am sure the police are well aware of that. So.. they have to try to balance not murdering someone with not getting murdered.

Imagine if the good cops had spend the last few decades pushing back against the bad cops and protesting their superiors if they refused to get rid of the bad apples.

Their job is 'impossible' because 'they' allowed it to get to this place.

Oh geez, that's somehow crazy even though it's public information that he does this.

I think so. Antifa terrorists are organized and do not abide the democratic process.

Soros? Why should he care about this at his age and why don't his funds get frozen if he's behind it.
You surely meant Trump is letting this happen so he can do the next power grab.

Yes, Soros. Why should he care? Great question, maybe he's the devil. Or maybe he's made a deal with the devil.
Why did he care about funding BLM? He basically took over that organization.

Is this part of a greater scheme that plays into some kind of power grab for Trump? I hope not but that's beyond the scope of what I can see at least.

More police violence on innocent people, this time it's unclear if this guy is even a protester or just waiting for the bus at the wrong place (the library) and wrong time (middle of the day).



Or possibly a George Soros ANTIFA super soldier, haven't found any conclusive reporting yet.

He already gave himself executive powers for corona. Those are wartime measures.
Now he's about to start a war of terror in his own country, more wartime measures.

I am just curious how you can be so confident this is the case, rather than that he is legitimately ferreting out insurrection?

It's my opinion that there is a lot of evidence that an underground war has been occurring for the last 6 months or so.

What percent of protesters/rioters last night do you think were making an hourly wage paid by George Soros?

What’s he pay, anyway? How are the benefits?

Conspiracy theories about George Soros and ANTIFA have a long track record of being extreme distortions of the truth or downright false and are often rooted in anti-Semitism.

Trump also has an extremely robust history of compulsive lying and abuse of powers to attack his political enemies.

Gee, I wonder why some people might be skeptical of Trump?
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
