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. | ||

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 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. | ||

I wonder what % of cops have doubts and regrets about being called to anti-riot duty. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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'm just glad I'm not in the US because you're about to get your own fuhrer imho. | ||

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? | ||
