Any protest is legit. Any rioting, looting and arson is not.
Sit ins of government facilities are always legit. Burning down private businesses is never legit.
Not selective.
I support BLM protests in the public square. Even on public streets in front of government official’s residences as long as they don’t involve violence or the threat of violence.
Did baltimore go in for weeks? No
Were there arrests in baltimore? Yes
More selective thoughts, more fine tuning. Seriously, flow chart. Would def help.
Are you under the impression that DC isn’t a real city?
Over 700,000 people live here in the city. Pay taxes, work hard, 80% of them do not work for the federal government.
So now it’s about Govonors. Unless it’s a Republican gov then it’s about mayor’s, unless it’s Miami then it’s about dates, or something.
I’m getting lost with these ad-hoc rules you keep making up
I know it’s not. The jobs are government. 80%? “Federal”? .
It’s about both. How often does a governor do state preemptions? I know Austin has had some. What happened last week when they started talking about defunding their police?
They aren’t rules. You being lost is your problem. Triggered?
You have never done that once in the entire 8 years I have been a member here. Literally never, it’s always the same old “drip,drip,drip…just you wait”
Not triggered. Kinda amused at your changing rules.
Fort worth unrest ended may 31st so they are good. Baltimore ended June 3rd so they are bad.
DC is not a real city despite 560,000 people living there and working for private sector out of 700,000
(Not even including the 6 mil that live in the DC area, majority working for private sector).
Crime is mayor’s issue, unless it’s under control and has a republican Govonor, then it’s thanks to them. If crime is bad it’s def the mayor, unless it’s FL or TX, then its Bidens fault, somehow…
Do you really really honestly and truly believe that riots in Seattle, Portland, etc, are to be brought under control by ANYONE in DC? Last I heard, police departments and their chiefs are directed by a cities Mayor. Am I wrong on this? Is this just a con talking point? The federal government has jurisdiction on federal property. That’s why Donald Trump sent federal officers to cities like Portland to protect federal property. In reality, the city police should be first responders in securing federal properties because it isn’t in a cities best interest to allow a federal courthouse to be burned to the ground, especially when that courthouse is in the middle of the city. The local, state and federal officers COOPERATE with each other because ENFORCING THE LAW IS SOMETHING THEY ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO DO!!
Do you remember what happened when Trump sent those federal officers to Portland? Do you remember what Lib JACKASS Lori Lightfoots response was to Trump wanting to send officers to Chicago?
Apparently you don’t seem to understand the difference between the various functions of Government at Federal, state and local levels. You don’t understand who makes the policies at each level and those whose job it is to enforce the enacted policies.
You also don’t seem to understand that even when policy is set at the Federal level, that governors often tell the Federal Government to pound sand. The fact is that the 50 Governors of the states have more control over what happens in their state than the federal government. By the same line of reasoning, the mayor’s have more control over what happens in their city than their governor.
Schools used to teach these things, but I guess global warming, political correctness and tolerance, the normalcy of perversions and the wonderful fairness of socialism and communism are much more important.
