When is Enough ,Enough?

A portion of the protesters are actually looters and rioters and are definitely assholes giving the peaceful protesters a bad name.

James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution

[MTK]

The President is the enemy of the people period. Who needs Russia, when you have a President constantly dividing the country with his lying bullshit and bias subjective opinions passed as facts.

Interesting how this works

Any criticism of the President by the press or others is completely fine. That’s not my argument...he’s certainly earned the criticism and how he has handled things from covid to the Floyd murder, I have a lot of issues with.

Trump Has Flooded DC With Law Enforcement Officers Who Won’t Identify Themselves

a little concerning

Also one thing i notice that is troubling, is that a large portion of the violent protestors seem to be of the mindset that they wanted everything shut down permanently over coronavirus, they were too afraid to leave their homes because of the fear of death, but then when the George Floyd travesty happened, everyone went outside like it was no problem. All of a sudden coming into contact with people was okay again. Not sure what to make of that.

The media is the enemy of the people???

solution - read various news sources from different platforms then make your own personal decision on what you believe.

Id also recommend not considering people like Jimmy Kimmel or Adam Carrola as media or a source for you to get your news.

Thats the easy one. Be an adult. Use your adult brain. Make and form adult decisions and thoughts.

The hard one is trying to understand or brace for the coronavirus effect to all these protests. Even George Floyd tested positive for Corona.

You don't see that? I won't even mention most media leans left, but most of all media sources report with bias and only tell one side of the story. It takes quite a bit of digging these days to get the whole story and most people don't do that. The media divides people these days, plain and simple.

That guy could die. Shame to those police officers.

I like and respect police officers, I am white dude living in white suburb. Unless i am speeding the cops never bother me. I do recall a time when i was a youth between 16 and say 25, i lived on a small island (Newport, RI) and the cops would look and harass young males in groups or what ever. Definitely not to the extent African Americans feel on a daily basis, still even at the level they were bugging us it was a sicking feeling every time you saw a cop you knew they were going bug you about something.

Anywho, last night i went to Rita's and two police officers walked in for some odd reason i got that feeling again. My son (12) immediately pulled at me and nodded his head towards the police. When we got in the car i asked why he had pointed out the cops. He said i don't know they make me nervous (he has never had any run in's with cops). I wondered if he felt my anxiety.

The whole situation sadden me. One i was like what has this world come too and two its got suck to be a person of color and have to deal with that feeling everyday with the police.

Ok done rambling.

Pretty sure no one here is advocating for any Police to be shot chico or endorsing it. There is good and bad on all side of this discussion. I will say right off the bat I get upset at the treatment of blacks by Police in general and that includes Black on Black treatment by Police ,I have a black grandson and I worry about him constantly. I all so believe that BLM's is a racist organisation and if they truly believed in the change of Police culture would change the name. Right ,wrong or indifferent many White Americans becuase of the name will not listen to them . BLM's needs to condemn the killing of anyone Police bystanders anyone and make pleas against the violence if they want all of America on their side.
