Wonder why people are losing faith in the police and prosecutors. Try to imagine how the police thirty years ago would have dealt with a horde of masked thugs wielding clubs who threatened demonstrators who had a valid permit to assemble. Today right minded, decent people are rightly skeptical.

I propose a maximum pay rate for law enforcement officers and their chiefs who stand or lean with their arms folded or one hand on a hip while Antifa or other thugs are beating,gassing and kicking conservatives.
The pay ceiling would be 50 cents an hour before taxes and deductions. Phony sick day requests or vacation day requests will be met with suspensions.

Only because they find “extra ballots” when the Republican candidate is winning to defeat the Republican; ergo, Princess Gregoire where “123 extra ballots” were found (in King county) to defeat the winning Republican for Governor.

Ah, the good old days, not like the Chicago 1968 demonstrations.

Mine too.
Click on the comments (at the linked article) and see the complete lack of balance. The quips range from left to leftist. Even the ones who pride themselves on their “moderate” or “independent” status loathe liberty.

Uh, were permits issued? I suppose to perpetuate the divisiveness, city hall issues them for the same day?. Me, I would tell whoever applied first there gathering is this Saturday. Whoever applies second, your permit is for the next Saturday. Hellooooo! It ain't rocket science. Those that show up on the wrong Saturday get their permit revoked. But, Seattle. 🤔⚡️

Liberal logic: Victims of violence initiate the violence, because they have the audacity to exercise their 1st amendment protect rights of speech and assembly.
Anyone attacking me with a blunt force weapon gets shot.
To: allendale
The police haven't been as aggressive as I might like but they've definitely stood up to Antifa and co. You can see many clips of the police responding with appropriate force to leftwing thugs harassing conservatives.
The issue is that there aren't enough cops to be everywhere at once and they're rightly hesitant to intervene when massively outnumbered. The leftists have attacked police and smashed police cars wherever they think they have enough of an edge to get away with it.

King county where votes are recounted until the correct outcome is determined.

According to Patriot Prayer, the rally was to oppose a specific gun law. But according to all of the protesters who were interviewed on local TV, it was about RACISM! HATE! RACISM! HATE!
I wasn't there, but I doubt any of the rally speakers said a word about race.

“Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity”. Is this union muscle, or parents’ basement dwellers?

“right-wing extremist protestors” vs. “left-wing counterdemonstrators (including antifa)”. How fair and balanced./s
