Which is why, should shit break out around here, I will NOT acquiesce because something wrong happened to someone else. I didn't do it, I think that cop needs to be charged and hopefully in prison with the other cops fired, so I am not guilty of whatever occurred and I'll take a beat-down from NO ONE because of it.

Wonder why they decided to have so many squad cars packed into one street? I mean I am not a genius but with almost no officers outside of vehicles they were asking to have their vehicles trashed.

I agree with all of that except the other cops need to be in the pen too. If I and a group of my cronies engage in an action with an outcome like that, then everyone gets a slice of the pie and rightfully so.

Odds are, higher ups deserve the same.

Watched a video awhile ago where a bank was being protected. Everything else, not so much so.

The protests/riots have become a cause de celebre for both Antifa and the Boogaloo community, along with the BLM folks. Lots of pent of tension is finding a release here. If anything, I'm surprised that it's not worse than it already is; sounds like normal riot behavior thus far, nobody is firing on/ambushing cops.

Another factor involved in the mixed demographics of the riot is that claims are already being made of Police instigators in the crowds. Video is out of a white guy in a gas mask, all black, and carrying an umbrella that was allegedly the first to chuck a brick through the Autozone's window (and thus started the looting). After doing so, the guy hightailed it out of there, and went back to the precinct, and was very aggressive towards those filming him. Quite possibly a bunch of BS, but it's shows the total confusion/suspicion of the situation.

I have no problem with the police going under cover into the riots to gather intel., on the ring leaders. I do have a big problem if a police officer threw a brick through a store window. If this is true he should be fired and his commanders as well. Then look at how many different things they can be charged with.

Let's see what the body cams show before we "no justice, no peas".

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Some people still assert the earth is flat.
