If only it were possible to be opposed to both looting and policy brutality. But it just can’t be done, you can only be on one side. Either looting is great, or the police can do whatever they want to whenever they feel like it. Those are your only two choices.

Which police actions during the riots do you think were too brutal?

IF the poll showing POTUS support dropped 10% is accurate, then IMHO, it’s ONLY his supporters showing their exacerbation with TOO LITTLE force being applied and looting/arson to continue for more than ONE night.

It’s good to show this question and it’s results because it is also interesting to see the high number also from independent voters. Democrat voters seem to be very negative about many things.

I’m betting that there is a whole bunch of butt-hurt in the WaPo Editorial staff room today.

i like the 1972 analogy... when after the 4 at Kent State got killed, “how could they kill the poor protestors”...the “invasion” of Cambodia...Nixon still won 49 states...

“Why the idiot Republicans dont speak out against the democrat inspired violence is a mystery.”

As long as it stays in those Dem run cities, why do they?

The occasional incident, where a cop actually crosses a line, is outnumbered many times over by criminal victimization and intimidation of the law abiding in afflicted neighborhoods. There is a culture of intimidation, which should be addressed by a greater police presence—but the subject is being rendered taboo by sociopaths on the Left.

They need to ask the real question—

How many Americans would like their businesses or homes looted?

I want to know!

I sometimes look at this website based in my hometown, when I need to remember that it’s good we have policemen.

In spite of Dims/MSM doing everything they can possibly do to make sure Trump loses to Biden; and, in spite of all the phony polls showing Biden walking all over Trump.

We have this great news.

The Dims/MSM realized that with Trump having gained so much black support, something had to be done to get them back onto the plantation.

But, just like with the Paul Wellstone memorial, the Dims/MSM are overplaying their hand. And, people are beginning to notice what’s behind the mask.

Blacks are not just some monolithic group of low info fools who are easily manipulated by 24/7 endless pandering stunts put on by the Massa.

Sorry, MSM/Dims, but in spite of everything you are doing to turn savvy blacks back to Biden...IT AIN’T WORKING.
