WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump portrays the hundreds of people arrested nationwide in protests against racial injustice as violent urban left-wing radicals. But an Associated Press review of thousands of pages of court documents tell a different story.

Very few of those charged appear to be affiliated with highly organized extremist groups, and many are young suburban adults from the very neighborhoods Trump vows to protect from the violence in his reelection push to win support from the suburbs.

Yes, those would be the Marxist foot soldiers being encouraged and supplied by the dark forces. That’s the whole point.

The article is nothing about the headline-—the article tries to make the claim that some people arrested are good little “kids” that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Another POS propaganda crap.

That's the key phrase. Soros backed District Attorneys granting professional courtesy to fellow Soros backed disruptors.

So, the Associated Press (AP) has no issue with rioters beating up holders of AP press badges and torching AP offices...because the perpetrators are not leftist radicals.

The Comical is from Houston Texas.

Kim Ogg dropped charges against the George Floyd rioters and purged the records so that those arrested would not have their job applications impacted whenever they go to look for work.

The AP couldn’t find their backside with both hands. They like like a rug.

I think another term for those who ARE affiliated with left wing thugs is “leaders”. The others are just “running dogs” (to use a Cold War Chinese label).

You know it’s bad when they actually address the lie and lie more.

If true, all that proves is Antifa isn’t being arrested, because the police are concentrating on the counter protests.

So why didn’t they tell the radicals to take their bricks and frozen water bottles, shut up, and go home?

“Highly” and “organized“

Note the weasel words in this propaganda.

We agree, most of those folks are not organized enough to get the toothpaste on their brush in the morning.

How does one determine if someone is “affiliated with highly organized extremist groups?” Do you look for a membership card in their wallet? Or is it sufficient for someone to participate in one of their “protest” meetings and commit a crime on their behalf?

OK, so we all agree. Throw them all in jail for a few decades.

This is an Opinion piece masquerading as news. It uses incomplete data and a shifting definition of “leftish radical” to make its dishonest case.

Just a short hop from designating them white supremacist Trump supporters...

“AP found”. Right there I can tell you they only looked where they knew they would find what the wanted.

There is also the whole matter of police in different cities being told to stand down. I can see where in those places a few arrests were made just for show.
