An ongoing encounter between protesters and cops near the on-ramp to I-275, Tampa’s busiest freeway. Officers formed a perimeter encompassing the entire onramp. It appears the protesters want to stop freeway traffic. The standoff is ongoing… Watch.......

Said it before...when you block traffic you are rioting. It is not a protest.

Just my opinion.

these are the same people who sided with the Georgia Jogger attacking someone who blocked his path, fearing for his life.

this is a well planned, exquisitely coordinated, premediated, intentional attack on our nation. George Floyd got left behind in the dust of the their hatred a long time ago.

Your right to protest ends at the point where it interferes with the rights of others.

If I was driving I’ll run down protesters... I don’t care. If you are on the highway, which is against the law, and you are in my way, sorry.

They’re not protesters they’re anarchists.

When these Black Lives Matter "protesters" start marching against all the black on black murders that happen dozens of times every month in places like Chicago, then they just might have a point to make. But when I see the same people running into stores and greedily running out with armloads of stolen merchandize, it's hard to sympathize.

all black lives apparently don’t matter, back abortions disproportionate to the population, black on black murders 93% of all black murders.

No doubt there are some people who sincerely - or may have at one time - feel that demonstrations and marches are the only way to draw attention to what they see as injustice, but the glaring inconsistencies cannot be ignored. They only seem to come out when there has been a white police officer action against a black person but they ignore the vastly outnumbering times police have HELPED blacks and black neighborhoods, not to mention the many non-white individuals who serve faithfully in law enforcement out of a servant’s heart. It is horribly wrong to blame an entire group of people based on the actions of a few. It is just as horrid to think a certain race of people are all criminals or lazy bums looking for a handout. It’s sad to see anarchist groups glomming onto the BLM movement because they couldn’t care less about inequality. Their only purpose is to cause chaos, riot, burn, loot and destroy Capitalist societies.
