“...when the looting starts, the shooting starts...”

That’s not electioneering...that should be SOP. The only weakness I see in PDJT’s tweet is that the shooting should’ve started when the fires started...not the looting. Fires kill people, looting doesn’t (usually). People have a right to self-defense...especially if someone is lobbing a firebomb at your house/business.

Are these riots really just about cops killing someone or are they an expansion of being fed up with all levels of government locking everyone down? It doesn’t take much to push people over the edge. Severe quarantine orders, bars and restaurants closed, stay at home orders then a spark where some cops do something stupid and all hell breaks loose. No matter the race. This same stuff could happen anywhere with little incentive given how some governors are using law enforcement to regulate their citizens actions relative to the governors edicts. These riots are a small demonstration of what could happen everywhere in some states if they continue these lockdowns.

Was wondering what was going to knock the recovery from COVID off the front page.

Democrats = no leadership and mob rule. It was Obama’s MO.

The Feds will be coming in today. POTUS can order them into action if governor does not.

“2) to reassure the angry public that has been burning the city since Wednesday that justice will be swift and sure.”

They aren’t the “angry public” they are thugs, rioters, and looters. If you bothered to watch the videos of the looting and arson tearing my old neighborhood apart you would have noticed that these thugs are all colors. My bet is that NONE of them actually live in that neighborhood, and probably a fair number of them aren’t even residents of Minnesota.

You also didn’t have to start stirring the racial pot by referring to “pasty white Minnesotans”, you didn’t refer to the rioters and looters, the actual criminals in this case as “black as tar” or any other pejorative about their color.

Media template:

Violent disturbance in Minneapolis = “justifiable outrage”.

Peaceful protest in Ann Arbor to reopen businesses = “domestic terrorism”.

The peaceful protest already occurred: “He can’t breathe, bro, get off him bro.”
Justice has already been exercised: “You killed a man? You’re fired!”

It is complete chaos. No fewer than three police precinct stations have been burned.

Minnesota has been axe-ing for this for 60 years.

As Trey Gowdy told Fox News Host Martha MacAllum

Where is the Minneapolis police chief? Conspicuously absent from news reports. Isn’t the police chief responsible for the actions of the police force? The training, the procedures?

I would have phrased it differently: A leadership vacuum leaves the terrorists fully in charge.
