According to leftists, all crime is justified, so yes, the police should have just left him alone.
Indeed. If they had he’d have been able to show his support for Floyd by getting his loot on. Heartless cops.
Marx, Engels and esp. Lenin/Stalin viewed hardened criminals as their shocktroops in attacking society since they had so little to lose in life. Worked too. Some of Lenin’s top Cheka were former Czarists who were forced to come over or be killed, but also hardcore criminals in the Czars jails and prisons. Now they became the wardens and prison guards, torturers and executioners.
The communists have always used the criminal as one of their spearhead weapons. Today, it is the same thing only Antifa poses as an “anti-fascist” group, possibly anarchist, yet their programs are pure Marxism.
Time to wake up and smell the smoke of looted and burning buildings.
