USA riots

I can just imagine Secret Service: "POTUS has left the building!" "WHAT?" "POTUS has left the building?Get after him, where's he going?"
To look at St.John's church that was set ablaze the night before. God bless you sir!
President Trump leaves White House on foot to visit St. John's Church amid protests

This is likely why POTUS is thinking about invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807. Terrorism! Setting occupied buildings afire and then blocking emergency response in the hope the people inside burn alive? That's not protesting police brutality. That's terrorism!

Hello

As an Australian, relying on the sound bites of the biased information that we receive here in Australia, I am not qualified to even voice an opinion or guess at what is occurring in the US.

Please forgive the outsiders to the US on this forum for daring to step over the line of opinion giving out of ignorance.

I know that I am not qualified to do such a rash thing as that.

Shalom

Not News.
Texas already has laws for individuals to use Deadly Force to protect their Person and Property.

We share the same sentiments as this sheriff and the folks in Polk County FL and to be prepared to shoot first and ask questions later in this hateful and evil environment we are facing. I'm in Lake County just North of Polk. We are a sleepy county compromised of many retired folks...and many are armed.

I saw the bricks but how can the death possibly be deliberate? Those cops are going to prison

American cops are heavy handed and trigger happy. Do u remember Aussie girl Justine Ruszczyk?
In 2017 she called 911 to report the possible assault of a woman only to be shot dead by the Minneapolis Police Department when they arrived.

I don't know how much race has to do with it but it looks like ANTIFA has just used the opportunity to riot.

My question to any American friend on here is how is it possibly still be going after so many days? Why hasn't the state police done their jobs?
It looks like the blue states aren't being tough enough, why?

Because they would rather burn down their own homes than see 4 more years of President Trump!

Seems there is an issue (I don't know it is necessarily race, but at least one of brutality).

I am sure you can find just as many where an officer (black or white) does these things to white people, and Hispanic people, to middle eastern people etc etc etc.

I am sure I will get backlash, but in my view, it is a problem that is not deligated to one race, but is a systemic issue

and should be taken care of as a severe police issue, not a race issue

we scream race to much in my country

The issue is brutality and the abuse of power.

Exactly. This is all part of Trump Derangement Syndrome. But it is also far worse.

There is a DELIBERATE conspiracy to destroy America by any means and to shred the Constitution. One of these agitators just said "F*** the Constitution". There are global forces at work plotting to remove Trump and bring the USA to its knees. And anarchy is the first step towards Communism as the religion of America. If the Democrats gain control, that is what you will see.

We should also be mindful that Trump has been sabotaging himself at every opportunity, and thereby undermining his chances for re-election. Some very bad advisers have been advising him and deflecting him from the critical issues. And his going off on tangents and tweeting impulsively should have stopped a long time ago.

Great news that ANTI FA are now officially recognised as domestic terrorists. Hopefully the universities and socialist/communist professors and weak administration's that have stood aside allowing this to anarchy to grow in their midst will be brought out into the open and trampled underfoot. (Euphemistically speaking of course)

I take it you side with the rioters, provocateurs and the low-life roaming the streets today? The issue is these animals, young and old who cry brutality and abuse of power when they are told what to do by legitimate authorities. Then they feel picked on as they continue to evade the law and good order. They cannot change, because they feel they are are not the problem, or believe they do not have a problem. It is always someone else. Did get much attention and love at home? They believe other people are at fault, those especially in authority, starting with their parents, to some teachers, to the cops and local leaders, businesses leaders etc.

IT IS FIRST A SPIRITUAL ISSUE and thus also a chronic mental issue.

Look I have a neighbor, 73 years old. Her husband is in a home...she is the pastor's wife. Over a few years I've come to know she speaks the words and blessings of the Lord, although all bets are off if anyone tries to tell her or even suggest to her what to do. Where she then feels 'picked on' yes she is black....and she carries the common baggage and used her slave heritage as a weapon to divide and not heal.

I recently saved her home from completely being flooded from a kitchen leak. Got woke up about 1 am...BL, she has to replace the kitchen and part of another room. Not that I'm expecting it, although she has never thanked me for this deed.

I heard that she never got along with the previous owner of the house we occupy today. I believe it might have something to do with all the green and blackened mildew nearly covering one side of her home. It looks very unappealing to say the least. I have said a few words with the local HOA President. He won't do anything I expect because of her skin color........it never ends right...

As @Eternally Grateful commented to you, stop cherry-picking clips to bias the truth to your view that the punks on the streets would praise you for. This is dishonest and even deceitful.

APAK

We had "peaceful protests" here in Tulsa and there were young gangs trying to loot and destroy property but the protesters stopped them and said this is a peaceful protest...do not turn it into an opportunity to make it violent just so you can steal and get away with it.
