Looters kill retired Black Police Captain.

According to Joe Biden he wasn’t black

Tim your head might explode, but Trump also agreed with protesters, but not the looters.

They probably don’t show that on leftist sites you visit.

Should have fired belt fed ammo till even crickets silenced.

Blatant lie. No law enforcement agency in the entire US tear gasses peaceful protestors. They would be subject to state and federal investigation and there would be ample video evidence.

Shame on you for giving that article a second glance and shame on you for trying to pass such a heavy turd onto the rest of us.

What does happen is protests are ordered to disperse once an assembly is considered unlawful. If they fail to do so, it is no longer a peaceful protest but rather an unlawful one.

I knew the msm lies. This one is a pretty miserable one.

When I go shopping I don't know if I should be bringing a mask or a brick now.

The don’t pay Federal or state income taxes. Only full time employees make enough to pay federal and state income taxes.

So I don’t know why they would want a tax cut.

Sad that we have to defend the memorial of the man that freed the slaves from Democrats, BLM and Antifa.

Democrats still haven't gotten over that Republicans freed the slaves.

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote on Twitter that “America is not a battleground. Our fellow citizens are not the enemy.” Gen. Tony Thomas, the former head of the Special Operations Command, tweeted: “The ‘battle space’ of America??? Not what America needs to hear … ever, unless we are invaded by an adversary or experience a constitutional failure … ie a Civil War.”

Adm. Mike Mullen, another former chairman, wrote: “Whatever Trump’s goal in conducting his visit, he laid bare his disdain for the rights of peaceful protest in this country, gave succor to the leaders of other countries who take comfort in our domestic strife, and risked further politicizing the men and women of our armed forces.”

What does this have to do with the false assertion your posted that tear gas was shot at peaceful protestors?

Also why aren’t you capable of responding? How does a civil discourse take place if all you do is copy and paste propaganda?

That pair of free Nikes ends up costing to much, eh?

"Rioters have targeted the home of right-wing journalist Cassandra Fairbanks

Why? It was a left wing cop in a left wing district with a left wing police chief in a left wing city with a left wing mayor.

Remember: When Seconds Count, help is only Minutes Away.
Trust Law Enforcement to clean up the bodies after the fact!

That shit aint right, you go storm the monument who in the hell do they think they are. They have no right to do that. You have all the right to deface every Washington monument you want to Dong! you go charge them and set them straight.

More lies! Blatant miserable misrepresentation by you poster Thomas Dong. I contested that the protestors are peaceful...clearly they were declared an unlawful assembly and after failure to disperse, police can take forceful action to remove them.

@patrick do you now see why civil discourse is not possible?

This is why I trolled people. There is no other recourse in these situations other than turn the Alinsky book back at them.

I have morals. I don’t like slinging poo. But when I do, I can keep up with the best of them.

It's still possible to be civil.

Can we get information from a less ridiculously partisan source than Jeff Bezos's Washington Post?

thomasdong1776 says

Perhaps you can explain to us why Trump is demanding the details be "corrected" in an event you say didn't happen.

We do agree, however, that civil discourse isn't possible, because no matter what is said or posted, you will continue to insist you are correct, all the while offering absolutely nothing to back your opinions up. You're like the old-school parent who's only rationale is "because I said so". If that's what passes for "morals" in the con world, no wonder the country is in such dire straits.

Again you misrepresent what I stated. I didn’t sta the event didn’t occur. Ever. I said it didn’t occur as the Washington Post, and you by extension are claiming it did.

In other words you lied, you doubled down on the lie, you changed the topic, misatributed my statements, and changed the conversation.

I’m starting to see why you originally cited the Washington Post.

Tim Aurora says

And no Democratic national leader has supported looters

Lots of local Democrat leaders support them.

Kim Gardner, the Soros installed prosecutor of St Louis just let every single rioter and looter arrested this week out of jail.
https://twitter.com/Eric_Schmitt/status/1268195075953176576

Although now I see that the White House is saying tear gas wasn’t deployed. Not sure that matters or not. The cops can disperse an unlawful assembly which by definition can’t possibly be peaceful as the Washington Post falsely stated.

Tim Aurora says

Yes, we should get it from Fox News and Breitbart or some other no-name blog. The first step to fascism is to discredit the MSM who are against the ruling party and prop your media. The fact is that Wapo allows opinion pieces from all sides. Mitch McConnel comes to mind, and I am sure I can dig up many more. Granted that they are not perfect, but they are damn good.

Patrick says

Why butt in if you are not going to defend or counter what Dong cited.

Just came across this video but it apparanttly was made over two years ago now. Two years ago many people might say this guy is crazy. Listen to this mans words and think about what’s happening now.

Fortwaynemobile says

Tim your head might explode, but Trump also agreed with protesters, but not the looters.

Absolutely not true. They have in fact stated that Rioting and destruction is all ok. I can give you hundreds of tweets and videos where they support rioting and destruction and even did say directly they support riots.

Tim Aurora says

Liberals lean on NYT and Wapo, not perfect but these papers allow opinions from all sides.

hahaha, Jennifer Rubin is WaPo's conservative columnist. George Will at others. hahahahhahaha

If you entertain any notion that looters are righteous, that Whiteness and White Supremacy are actual problems, not insane left-wing social theories, and are dangerous, you are neither a Trumper, a Moderate, or a Liberal. You are a Far Leftist.

6. Anytime you talk about Racism, Trumpsters will talk about "Blacks are coming to kill you"

Statistically, on the pure race threshold, which race kills the other at a higher rate? Not talking inter race, black on black or white on white. Which race kills the other at a higher frequency? There's a statistical and factual answer to this question. Be honest.

I don't know when it happened, race being tied to a political leaning or party. There are some unbecoming memes about race here, but I'm not certain I've seen any racist here. You need to check out some other forums maybe before judging the crowd here. We're all more alike here than you think. You may not like the comments, but the data backs up what most write here. Most stuff is backed up with links here. Even if they're suspect, at least most users try. Some don't.

Tim Aurora says

Trumpsters

Tim, please try to not be divisive, but instead to think about our common interests.

It's fine that you don't like Trump. Just saying that:

1. It's not the most important thing in the world to hate him.
2. You help solidify support for Trump by using words like "Trumpsters". You're not even helping your own cause.
3. It's harmful to all of us to be divided and weak in the face of real exploitation by global capital and China.

WookieMan says

It's not just frequency. The absolute numbers of whites killed by blacks is larger than the reverse, even though blacks are 12% of the population and whites are 74%.

The press deliberately ignores this fact. Why?

Do you have a legit source for this? Do you know personally anyone killed by a Black person?

Sure:

In 2016, there were 533 whites murdered by blacks, and only 243 blacks murdered by whites.

I posted a list of how I have personally been affected by black crime. I'll try to find that.

This data has been posted zillion times on here, even directly pulled from the government's criminal databases. Yet every time you ask "got a source?" What we have never seen though is a single data point or study even remotely hinting at white on black racism. Since you and the looneyeft are claiming "systemic racism" and implemented harmful consequences yet even calling for more unconstitutional intervention, you have to provide the source and links since you are protesting and demanding changes. Maybe I have singled you out wrongly and you're not claiming that there is a systemic problem of White on black racism. But if you are, WHERE is your statistically significant data? I'm not even claiming that there is a big enough problem of black on white racism as there are other explanations for the variance in crime rates, but to arrive at the opposite is unscientific at least, delusional at worst. The cop was a major asshole and they are now all charged for 2nd degree murder (which is almost too high to prove and a risk for the trial given a clever defense) or lesser. They will all face the consequences they deserve. But there's zero reason to think the asshole cop would not have given the same treatment to a strong meaty redneck resisting arrest. Latinos and Whites die due to police brutality at the same rate.

rdm says

Here we go again. In a few weeks, it'll be the same question as if it was not already answered with indisputable numbers that repeat the same trend year after year after year.

@Patrick, any chance of having some stickied or otherwise perma reference to a few things, like Crime Rate by Race?

That way we can just be like, "Click the link on the main page"

thomasdong1776 says

What you fail to understand (deliberately, no doubt) is that law enforcement wasn't dispersing the protest, which continued on for several more hours. They tear gassed and fired rubber bullets into the crowd for the sole reason of moving the protesters back a few blocks so that Trump could stage his silly photo op at the church.

Smoke ain't tear gas. And they moved in because liquid balloons were being thrown at the cops.

Which one was more divisive. It's one of those questions that we will never know the answer to.

Two more things:

When was the last time a "Trumpist" has posted about birther or pizzagate stuff on patnet? You will have to go deep into the archives, birther stuff may be years old. Compare that to Jazz's mother jones / salon / buzzkill threads about some absurd Trump fascism/racism connection day by day.

The other:

Consider yourself getting into a situation where you end up killing a black person unintentionally, maybe you wanted to protect your family in a riot / car blockade, during a possible home intrusion or a similar situation. Maybe you were too trigger / gas pedal happy and have to take some of the blame. Now imagine a mob of millions of people coming after you and your family because certainly there's only one reason you did what you did and it must be !racism! since that is possibly the only reason a white person ends up killing a black person! You could be the most devoted civil rights defender and black lives matter activist, you will be crucified! This is how far we have come, bank on it.
