How many people were doing that? Was it a large part of the protests or a small one?
We were talking specifically about the people who were looting, committing arson or other violence.
WuWei:To prohibit the government.
They got all sorts of prohibited last night.
The police surrendered a police station. Just by itself, that’s a wow.
Sounds to me like you are viewing this like a sport. Are you missing baseball that much?
Yes that is the way I read it too. But who knows as some move the goal post around. Good comment Zantax

And I thought sneaky’s reply was a good one:
When you lose the moral authority to govern, you lose the privilege of choosing how the response will manifest itself.
It maybe a riot, it may be the taking over of a wildlife refuge, a sit in, a march.
Look at the news. You tell me. I hope Target picks a safer neighborhood to rebuild.
WuWei: Sknyluv:Did Trump just threaten to use the military to shoot looters?
Looks like he did.
I find this parsing of his own words to be 100% disingenuous. He threatened use of the military in the same breath as shooting looters. He can’t backtrack on this one. No thanks. ■■■■ that guy.
Calling in the NG to quell riots is hardly an unprecedented action.

Why do you say that? I’m intentionally trying to discuss this as clearly and without emotion as possible.
I literally watched a police precinct evacuate their building while under assault from thousands last night in a city I used to know. This is significant.
SeaManatee:“News conference “ just now…about the WHO and runs before taking questions.
Given a chance to address the nation … he runs away.
Given a chance? Are you suggesting those instances are so rare that a President can’t afford to pass any such opportunity up? Don’t you realize that the President can command the airways anytime they want?
But given the track record of Media “gotcha” questioning, do you really blame Trump for denying them another opportunity?
No. You let Leo arrest the ones who are oooting and burning.
What is he waiting for?
Does it matter?
Does it matter?
It does.
WuWei:Who are their masters?
STODR:Then who are the masters you claimed they are roiting against?
The people with their literal knees and boots on their necks. What’s the confusion here guys? They burned down the precinct police station.
Did you miss the part where all four cops involved in that action were immediately fired and the one who actually did the act was charged with murder? That doesn’t sound like they are masters to me.
So are you saying looting, rioting and burning people cars and business is acceptable?
However I think all of them should be arrested.
Samm:Do you think that the cop would not have been charged with murder if the riots had not occurred? By what evidence?
I doubt he would have been charged if it weren’t for the video tape. It would have been 4 cops reports vs 1 dead guy.
So … it’s just your opinion.

Kneeling did not work, Peaceful protesting did not work, Riots… seems to be working now.
