Capitol Police officers took a knee on Wednesday, to the cheers of demonstrators protesting police brutality on Capitol Hill following the death of George Floyd.

Protests have swept across the country for nearly eight straight days, and particularly in the Washington, D.C., region.

President Trump has promised to "clamp down" on protesters in D.C. and urged local officials to instruct law enforcement to "dominate."

Well, that’ll really motivate the marxist DNC revolutionaries, to halt their long planned, and well funded, violent and murderous insurrection...

Another interesting stat I saw this week:

In the entire USA last year, a total of 41 unarmed citizens were killed by police. Of those:

19 were white,
  9 were black,
  6 were Latino,
  4 were other races,
  3 were unknown

Taking a knee is exactly why DC was torn apart. I get the impression that most city cops are worthless.

‘I kneel to no man.’

I kneel in homage to no man or thing; the entire concept is inimical to the independent mind...

If you are a sworn officer and take a knee,you have violated the oath and should just hand in the badge. I pray to god we have no “woke” cucks who are protecting the President.

American citizens should not be kneeling or bowing to anyone, except God.

Adjust for population size. It’s more like 32 to one. Off the charts violence. Savagery actually.

BLM is not just a lie. It is the polar opposite of the truth.

Our nation has lost it’s freaking mind.

All lies, and I think most people know it from their own experience.

“....most city cops are worthless. ….”

Their leadership usually is.

“Well there goes that protection. You call they won’t come.”

And just three weeks ago most people, including most on this site, were lecturing about neighborhood crime in Georgia: “Call the police and let them handle it. Don’t try to do anything yourself, let the police handle it.”

That seems quaint now. As you say, they won’t come. Not in blue states; not in Atlanta. Soon not anywhere the Rev. Crump can get to.

The police won’t be coming. And you had better not do anything.

And President Trump stands alone in the swamp.

The police won’t come and you better not do anything? Like not protect yourself in any manner?
