The countersuit against Black Lives Matter protesters is a novel move in the post-George Floyd moment, and it has lit a fire under already boiling local tensions. The city has tried to portray it as a routine legal tactic, but many see the counterattack as an effort to suppress the right to protest and to shift the public narrative away from the police department’s violence. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., whose congressional district includes much of Detroit, has lambasted it as “an unthinkable assault on constitutional rights.”

The Intercept, so liberal perspective, but a noteworthy development.

Rashida Tlaib seems like a person who awakens every morning literally sputtering in clenched fist, frizzy haired rage about something American.

She wakes up every day seething with the desire to destroy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Like all Rats do.

I thought Detoioet was a chocolate city. This sounds like a chocolate bar divided against itself.

Makes sense.

The Biden riots have served their end. Now it time to put the lid back on.

They prolly have an affirmative action attorney thinking he can sue an ephemeral entity for a made up charge. Besides, how is Detroit going to show damages? Setting buildings afire and looting is an improvement, isn’t it?

I am from Michigan, but I moved to California after leaving the Navy. I have given up trying to help my remaining Detroit family ‘see the light’ about the new Democrat/Socialist/Anti-Semitic Party.

All they do is go back in time to how ‘wonderful’ it was during the Civil Rights movement, how the party ‘stood up’ for the little man by forming Labor Unions. So, if I want to speak with them at all, had to let it go. I had to learn how to talk about anything else. It’s like what the Brits used to say: “Don’t mention The War!”

Ratshyt is another degenerate member of the 2018 pothead election that also brought the three liberal witches of Lansing into office.
