breakdown in law and order deliberately allowed and orchestrated by the Socialist party governors mayors and bureaucrats. Deep state FBI and CIA, DHS is in on it as an extension of the trump coup

Black on white racism designed to demoralize the middle class successful people and destabilize capitalism using terrorism.

the city government and the police did nothing

Doesn't that make the cops complicit in the crime?

Leftist mayors will order police to stand down until the feds must be brought in.

The sanctuary city mayors should all be arrested and taken into custody as well as the RAT city council members and any other immigration law violators.

Then they need to drill down, even past the current chiefs of police if necessary, until they find some decent leadership for the cops. Then let them do their job.

I seem to recall that Baltimore had an Italian protection group so destructive events like this were punished if not stopped.

Need to ID all who were involved & thrown in jail for 10 years for all this to STOP!!!!

Good luck finding a jury that will convict in any courthouse where that trial would be held.

I think someone should give them (the protestors) an offer they can’t refuse.
