WaPoo seems to believe that they’re living in some sort of reality tv show where the host has to bless their obsession du jour in order to validate it and make it “real.” I suspect the media coverage is what the agitators and instigators of this actually want, so why give it to them? Giving them notoriety will only encourage more.

“But he has yet to comment — on Twitter or otherwise — on an incident that is a microcosm of one of the major conversations during the presidential campaign: the relationship between law enforcement and communities of color.”

Translation:

Trump has yet to fall into the trap of embroiling himself in the Marxist narrative that he is a racist supporter of racist cops.

Ten dead in Chicago on average every week including this weekend. Why doesn’t the media/BLM acknowledge the inner city holocaust of black on black violence?

Well, why should he?

It’s not as if rioting by half civilized, brain dead blacks and air headed, self loathing whites is an unusual event.

The judges decision, 30 pages double spaced, can be found as a pdf file on the St. Louis Post Dispatch's website. It is a light read. On reading, I found the reporting done on the incident slanted, biased, with sins of omission. Acquittal was the right decision, so why should Trump whine and wring his hands over it like an Obama?

If anyone is uncertain as to what happened, read the decision. Here it is:

Well, he didn’t actually re-tweet that picture, so there’s that for fake journalism.

And does this guy want Trump to go on twitter and say “why are these minorities causing so much violence”? Probably not.

Does he want Trump to say the criminal justice system should be abolished because it frees innocent people even when the mob wants them to be punished? I doubt we would like that.

And if he did, he’d be called a racist.

The WP is full of something. Not sure what it is, but it sure isn’t pancakes.

Thugs breaking glass are not a concern for the President of the United States. They are a local law enforcement issue unless the local police request help in arresting all those criminals. Don’t make a federal case out of local thugs being thugs.

Why should he acknowledge rioting criminals that the local and state government could take care of, if they had the will to do so?

For a president who has record low favorability ratings, particularly among black voters, Trump's silence seems to confirm one of their biggest fears about his administration: that Trump does not care about the challenges affecting black Americans.

No, he just doesn't give a sh!t when useless people with too much time on their hands conduct demonstrations over bullsh!t that isn't important on a national scale.

Well, for one thing, no matter what President Trump says; the left will turn it into something ugly and lie about it so why should he? It’s an internal matter at St. Louis.

... President Trump still hasn't said anything.

Because the protesters rioters don't have a legitimate gripe. They just can't handle the truth.

What does he need to ‘acknowledge’? That a man was acquitted and we are a nation of laws not mobs? Seems to me the protestors are the ones who need to acknowledge - the ruling of their peers.
