You have a few choices with a mob:
release a massive cloud of tear gas, multiple water cannons , or “whiff of the grape”.
Of course killing “unarmed” rioters is political suicide
And then there’s letting the rioters destroy and loot until their exhausted.

Have you ever seen such a time in the history of this nation that there were so many nitwits in elected office. Sad sacks with no skillsets to offer who wait around for input from someone else as to what to do, and then try to follow it as a script without deviation no matter if it's working or not, the right thing to do or not. The coronavirus ordeal has brought a bunch of those losers to light, whether local, county, state or federal.

There is another choice. Let Americans defend their property.

The small business owner near these mobs has nothing to do with what happened here. The police on the other hand, have everything to do with what is happening here.

President Trump internal polling amoung black men must be pretty good.

I think it might be time to call in CIA Special Agent (code name: Rebound) Dennis Rodman to calm some shit down.

That video highlights the fact that there are indeed LEO’s in this country, armed to the teeth, SWAT wanna-be types, who have no business being there. They don’t have adequate training or screening to weed out people who shouldn’t be doing it.

The shooting cop sounded mentally unstable and tripped out on power.

Terrible. Terrible.

These riots were all so predictable. Start with citizens electing democrats and very soon you have the government you deserve.

Did a drunk man resisting arrest really deserve to die?

In Minneapolistan the answer is yes. Choices were made and now the natives are restless.

oh yes indeed....Pa ‘s Gov Wolf is one of them. We suffer under his lack of leadership.

I picture these dead beats running to their library of situation instructions.....thumbing through pages to determine what to do.

Video seems clear the cops need to be prosecuted....

Did you see the Dem Mayor provided masks to the protestors and asked them to wear masks and observe social distancing while burning down the town? (this is not fake news)

Thats why you call the fire department. Lets face it lots of cops are pricks. I've lived in lots of places, Rich poor, middle class in the West of the USA - everywhere I've lived cops suck. They bust you when you do bad stuff minor major, who likes that guy/gal. If we didn't need them we wouldn't have them.

Run afoul of the law and see how your attitude toward the cops and the whole legal system we have here changes. The cops aren't much different then politicians and most of those are crooks.

Sure cops do lots of crappy work I would never want to do but lets not pretend we deep down all love and respect these guys - especially as you get old and run in the young cops and you can read these kids like a book.

These cops deserve no respect they fled and let their house be burnt down, these citizens deserve no respect - they let their police force get out of control and are a bunch of thug rioters.

They all kinda suck - I reserve the right to change my thoughts on this as I'm learning more.

But after this pandemic - rioting -just no - rioters need to be shoot, revived then hung.

Hopefully they provide gloves so they cannot trace the stolen items via fingerprints.

Yeah - exactly. Tracing their finger along a flowchart "If A occurs, you must respond with B..."

Obviously this Demorat mayor is in over his head or just following Baltimores script and let these destructive individuals roll until it’s out of their system.

Anytime blacks today protest you can with certainty know the violence and destruction will develope........because there’s the likes of Soros and Demorat organizers who will seize the opportunity to inflame the crowds into a racial frenzy......and they do that because they know they can manipulate the black communities.

Have you ever had any friends that are cops? Are you still friends with them today? I've always had a chip on my shoulder with authority so am predisposed against them; however, the experiences of my life have shown me - lots of these folks are control freaks especially when young.

Older cops are okay younger cops are dangerous now they are all on edge and its an us against them attidude - thats been more and more the culture since before Rodney King.

I try to like the cops, max as I know I should and hate is destructive but they don't make it easy -almost in any context professional or personal, most are just asshole jerks - go hang out with a bunch of them, go to a cop bar (when they reopen - oh wait the cop bar never closed).

Just look at the firefighters versus police football games they do in many places - who raises more money and has more fans? Team Red or Team Blue?

The problem is none of it stops the violence. Burning buildings and looting stores stops any sympathy for the events which happened....because they want to make it a racial issue ....every time. And these looters believe they are owed what they steal.

” Oh,how I wish that: WE HAD PICKED OUR OWN COTTON
Imagine if we could just divorce ourselves from this legacy. Imagine if the 14th Amendment was the Repatriation Amendment. Imagine if someone had the intestinal fortitude to just deal with it, whatever the short term costs... Imagine. This won’t end well. Not tomorrow or the day after, but eventually it won’t. Nations are united either by common blood and soil, or failing that, by brutal, hard rule. Diverse populations forced to share living space and resources historically hasn’t ended well for either or both, until one is forcibly assimilated by the other, or uprooted, or driven away, or... Won’t end well.

There’s no fear of breaking laws today.....top to bottom it’s now what you can get away with for the least consequences you can strike a deal for.

The laws protect the criminal far more than the public...and the criminals know this.

I have to wonder if the decision was made by leadership to just let the leftist goons burn down their neighborhood so there was nothing to come home to. Just a burned husk. The goons that weren’t from out of town would have no reason to stay so this bad element would move on to other cities and towns to destroy them at some future time.

Clearly this is antifa and anarchists of all races rioting. Not a protest by blacks. A mob mentality of destruction.
