They made everyone shelter in place. They watched their pets die. Not a good situation there.

Democrats said Bush hated black people after Katrina, so it’s fair now to say Biden hates white people who voted for Trump.

The proscribed burn apparently generated tons of COCl2 gas.

NOT good.

Funny how there is no mention of criminal charges of the two armed thugs and the major for Felony Armed Kidnapping, with Special Circumstances of using a Firearm during the commission of a violent felony.

They belong in PRISON.

Now sue the cops for deprivation of civil rights under false color of authority. Bankrupt them and their entire department.

I wonder what the magnitude of reporting of this entire incident would have been had the orange man still been president. Prolly 24/7 wall to wall volume 11 screeching with the Breaking News Gong chiming every 3 minutes

Totally agree. When escalation is actually needed, cops do nothing. Reference the Uvalde school massacre as just one example.

But when deescalation and a bit of tact is necessary, no can do. Throw an unarmed reporter to the ground. Cuff him and haul him of to jail. To hell with the First Amendment and freedom of the press.

I read the reporter is also gay.

Black, gay, doing nothing wrong AND a couple stupid police equals heap’um big paydirt.

The Feds are actively covering this situation up as much as possibly can be done.

They don’t want it to be AMERICA’S CHERNOBYL 2.0..............But it will be.................

The punishment is the process and once again, willing cops are there to make an illegal arrest to harrass and intimidate.

Back the blue????

Imagine how quickly this would have been reported if it happened in Ukraine. Most likely non-stop 24 hours a day. Rodney King/OJ trial magnitude.

So, the arrest was just to shut him up and keep him from reporting.
