And the DOJ protest / community organizer group, paid for by us, is hard at work there getting things “organized”.

Are you F’ing kidding me. The protesters (clearly rioters) need to be protected? What about the innocent public?

The problem is that the cops are trying to enforce Whitey Laws. The ‘Hood wants to write their own laws appropriate for their specific DNA.

First of all, they are not protesters, they are rioters.

Second of all, their legitimate complaint need to be leveled at Odumbass and the Democrap establishment.

Black perp, Black cop, Black chief.

The idiots WILL get their race war and I can take out the front line in 20 seconds.

If this nitwit thinks this is helping Hitlery, he’s delusional. The Donald is handling this beautifully. He gave a reasoned, thoughtful response to this lawlessness. Hitlery’s being a shrill blaming the cops and law abiding Americans are going to remember all of this nonsense on Nov. 8.

Police and NG have legitimate obligations to crack skulls and arrest law breakers too.

Protestors are one thing, but looters, destroyers of private/public property,
disregard for the public safety, etc are other things.

As Instapundit is constantly quoting, “The best thing about the Obama Administration is all the racial healing.”

It’s not so much that he’s a liar; it’s just that he is indifferent to the truth because it gets in the way of his agenda to transform America into what he just knows better than the Founders is the true utopia.
