Questions:

If Black Lives Matter protesters are peaceful protesters, then why is there violence?

The media have been telling us that they are peaceful protesters, exercising their 1st amendment rights.

So if they are peaceful, who the heck is throwing chunks of concrete at police????

“Police said protesters hurled chunks of concrete at police in Baton Rouge on Sunday”

That is what the local media calls “peaceful protesting”.

I’m listening to the LA State Police on Broadcastify right now. There are reports the
“protesters” have buckets full of water bottles that are frozen. The police think the troublemakers are going to start throwing them.

Another one of those “very, extremely, almost churchlike protests” like the one in Dallas. The liberal “media” can KMA.

State Police Superintendent Mike Edmonson does not agree with the media. see post 6.

Concrete can kill, maim or disable.

Time for nightsticks to make contact with cranial bones.

Saw some people posting on social media about "protestors" blocking roadways around Memphis and jumping on cars - damned idiots.

Can anyone confirm reports, that both of the men who were shot by police, were gang members, one in the Crips, one in the Bloods? And that both had police records? And that the guy in Minnesota was pulled over because he matched the description of a robbery suspect?

I realize that we have incomplete and maybe erroneous information floating around.

But, it also seems clear to me, that there is more to the story. The liberals are trying to pull the same s**$ they pulled with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, namely, that nice black boys minding their own business, were shot for no reason.

Clearly there is more to the story.

And, can anyone explain, when Black Lives Matter protesters chant “What do we want, dead cops? When do we want them, now!!!”, why is nobody speculating that the demented Micah Johnson WAS INSPIRED by Black Lives Matter rhetoric????

Where was this descriptor ever applied to this gathering? I missed it.

I heard the po-leece were so out of control that they even grabbed Michelle Fields’ arm a couple of times.

Hopefully all the facts will be known soon. The only thing we can be sure of is that if there ARE facts inconvenient for the BLM/Marxist/Moslem alliance, Obama and Lynch are doing everything they can behind the scenes to keep those facts from getting out.

Were the concrete lobbers charged with assault with a dangerous weapon?

Some of the nastiest and shockingly violent people are often self-proclaimed “pacifists”.
