Video shows protesters received shipment of bats before Brooklyn Bridge bloody confrontation with cops

"Mostly peaceful."

Those are the two words we've heard ad nauseam from the media and politicians about the Black Lives Matter protests that have swept the nation in the wake of George Floyd's May 25 death after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest.

By the way, that description is entirely accurate. And, to the extent that there are issues with certain violent protesters, those aren't reasons to stop the demonstrations or condemn them in toto; taking to the streets in order to demand redress for political or social grievances is a God-given right enshrined under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (Now, quick -- apply that logic to those protests against the lockdowns.)

Surveillance video reported on Thursday by the New York Post appears to show that anti-police protesters received "a small shipment of bats" outside of City Hall before the clash.

"Police sources said the bats were delivered so the anti-cop activists could confront a 'unity' rally proceeding over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan," the Post reported.

Oh, was 'dick's' having a sale? So, is there still a hold on retirements at NYPD? According to DuhBlahzeeoh things are way better now that there are a bunch of folks released from jail/prison.

Pallets of bricks were delivered to various cities when all this started. How hard can it be to trace where those came from and who paid for them?

This insurrection needs to be cut off at the head.

Think of the criminals and their families. They were ill at ease and even inhibited by the presence of so many police around. Now they will be able to relax.

And with the no bail requirement and release of earlier prisoners from prisons with Covid scares, old accomplices can be out to get revenge against witnesses and jurors. With the other cons getting out they can “put the band back together.”

Win or lose on Nov 3rd IMHO this is going to get worse until blood is spilled in great quantities..Ref: Russia, China, Cuba, US Civil War

The attempt to overthrow this country is not diminished.

Does Soros have positions in bricks and bats futures?

The little trademark words on the bricks said "Metro Insurrection, A Soros Company." To me that's a clue.

We can’t prove a conspiracy that is so obvious - really!

If it’s not cut off at the head I foresee some Bernie Getz moments. Almost happened in St. Louis.

The bats delivered here.
The pallets of bricks delivered to rioters in some cities?
Whoever paid for these deserve to be charged with fomenting riots and thrown in prison.
George Soros.

Don’t forget China - they may blame the Hong Kong riots on us.

But Soros seems more likely.

Either authorities are keeping quiet until they can round them up, or the American people are being set up by the Enemies within.

It would be fairly simple to trace them . . . provided there's the will to do so. And even if the planners were discovered, it's not likely that their names would be revealed by authorities or the media. There was a similar willful ignorance after 9/11. It was widely reported that unnamed persons had reaped huge profits via very specific, very-short-term market positions -- via one of the Chicago exchanges, if I remember correctly -- suggesting they had foreknowledge of the attack. But not a single member of the press dared investigate these highly suspicious dealings.

We have a lot more enemies within than I realized before I voted for Trump.

FBI’s director Wray should be fired for incompetence.

Why isn’t the FBI finding out who’s behind these riots? Who’s paying for the bricks and bats?

Or is the FBI so corrupt they’re ‘in’ on it?

It would appear the FBI has bigger fish to fry... Maybe some Republican is jaywalking somewhere... Or a Christian used the term 'Constitution'...
