There were over 100 people arrested. Mobs should be dealt with in the manner of Napoleon - with a whiff of grapeshot. Hurling potentially lethal projectiles warrants a lethal response. But the police know that the politicians and many of the senior officers would sell them down the river if they actually used the necessary force to defend themselves. I think you are going to see mass retirements and a significant drop in recruitment numbers in urban police forces across America. Young people are starting to realize that are signing up to a job where a target has been placed on your back by the President and where the presumption of innocence no longer applies.
Wow. I thought cops carried nightsticks, mace, and tazers. Taze the bad guys and then beat the crap outta them.
I watched the video from the protest last night and the troopers were called in from all over Minnesota to remove the BLM people.
They arrived and deployed with gas masks but weren’t as protected as the local police in terms of body armor, vests etc.
They were much more vulnerable to injury as they appeared to me. Many of them wore yellow vests you might see construction workers wearing on the highway.
Why do municipalities continue to give BLM permits to engage in domestic terrorism?
Sorry Chief, the protesters were already criminals and Soros paid foreign agents. It's time you faced the facts.
Old alliances are blurring.
Barack is now on a “don’t talk or act stupidly” roll towards the trouble makers he had been fomenting.
The Philando Castile controversy has raised interest in the 2nd Amendment booster crowd.
“With man it is impossible. With God all things are possible.”
Lord, we beg for Your blessing to America, both black and white and every other color of skin, not because it deserves it (it doesn’t) but for a witness of Your grace and love to the undeserving. Please confound the naysayers, those who doubt that anything can happen but the same-old same-old. Please raise up a wisdom that will astound the world. In Your Son’s name we pray. Amen.
“A disgrace” or not it was criminal. Soft petaling these behaviors will have the same result today as in 1968.
I-94 runs north west from the south east corner of Minnesota to Minneapolis in the middle of the state and then continues north west to near the top and turns due West to Billings, MT..
Its a main highway for that area...
Why are these lawless animals allowed to interfere with the progress of American citizens and commerce on our nation’s roads ???
why are they allowed to deny American citizens their right to freedom to move around the country and the pursuit of happiness like enjoying a vacation or going to work ???
Why are they allowed to hold American citizens hostage ???
Among those American citizens these lawless terrorists are holding prisoner for hours are little children in need of nourishment and ill people on their way to a doctor or hospital...
Why are these lawless animals not held accountable for their crimes against the people of America ??????
I’m waiting for the governor to reprimand the chief for his use of violence against people of color and racist comments about the protestors.
A sad day when mobs rule
Solution: Designated marksmen in overwatch. Anybody cocks back with a Molotov Cocktail, a rock, or anything...bang.
Individual officers can defend themselves at close range.
Of course, you’re obliged by standards of fairness to warn the mob first. Once.
LaVoy Finicum was not available for comment. Cliven Bundy is in solitary since February, and Ammon is behind bars, too.
Where is Czar Nicholas when we REALLY need him? Now THAT guy knew how to clear streets!
Had this happened in Russia, the authorities would have filled both lanes of the interstate with snow plows, blades touching and simply plowed the road.
Most Americans probably think that this was over a broken tail light, not the fact that the person was thought to be a suspsect in an armed robbery and had a gun in his lap.
The truth will not get out because we have an IDIOT/INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT and our IDIOT/INCOMPETENT MEDIA -- ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/NY SLIMES/WASH comPOST Manure
100 criminals and 21 cops hurt. How man of the 100 bled? WTF. It should be no cops hurt and 50 bloody bodies.
Trump for President.
It looks like it’s time for the police to go home and wait until they are being begged to come and restore order. The communist Islamist racist BLM progressives can just take on law abiding citizens for a while. Let’s see how that works out in terms of politically correct response.
