    The reality is that when you flee, except if you're a silver spoon Kennedy or Hollywoodite or sports star, it is only going to go worse for you if you're an average person without political pull.

    Oh I believe you really would. Kill all those who don't agree with you. Carry on supporting dictatorships until it's your turn to be extinguished

    When fired upon fire back until the threat is neutralized. It's an instantaneous decision of the moment with no politics involved.

    If fired upon fire at will.

    The reality is they flee not because they've done something wrong but because they fear being accused of doing something or worse. They should not have this fear. I watched a video where police in Minnesota approached a man outside a restaurant sitting at a table smoking a cigarette and said that they had a warrant for his arrest. He said they were mistaking him for someone else but they persisted. Long video short they stood him up and cuffed him and then checked his ID. OOOOOPS wrong guy. Had they simply approached him and said they had a warrant for Joe Smith and asked for ID they might have saved themselves a lot of embarrassment. This is a reality for young black men, stopped for simply being black.

    I specified "homosexual pedophiles and I do that when speaking about the Catholic priests who bugger little boys. My opinion is that there are more homosexual pedophiles in the Catholic priesthood and that is why homosexuals were attracted to the priesthood. So you take concentrated homosexuality couple that with a chance of easy and ready availability to young boys and a homosexual pedophile sees that he is in "heaven". Again I specific "homosexual pedophile" not just pedophile. Now if you look at coaching and teaching professions opposite sex pedophilia most likely blossoms like a sugarholic in a candy store.

    Yes, they must obey the orders of Secret Service agents to clear the path for the US President. Always' been that way.

    These black males who do not flee police and do not resist being arrested rarely if ever get harmed.

    Trump hypocritical act is not out of context since that was Trump's despicable act of using the protests to enhance his re-election position. You apparently seem to believe that anytime anyone presents the truth about Trump that means "hatred" for him. Do you likewise believe that any and all criticism of Obama was racist? You seem to blend the protests into the riots/ looting. Yet you ignore the fact that right out of Trump's mouth and his Tweeterstorm he confirmed what a growing number of protest organizers are saying and that is outside forces specifically ANTIFA like groups have been the ones who are likely responsible for significant portion of the burning and looting. There is also reports that White Nationalist had committed acts of rioting and looting. This is a complex situation triggered by the needless killing by that cop which means that there is no one explanation for the violence.
    Nor is it likely that only one group is responsible.

    Bad actors such as the ANTIFA groups and White Supremacists and bad elements among the protesters are responsible for the looting and rioting.

    Do you hav any documentation that us not from the Trump WH proofing that 60 Secret Setvice "agents" were injured?? Since Trump threw all types of Federal law enforcement elements into the war on protesters I firmly believe that the injuries assuming that there actually were any were not concentrated with the Secret Service Agents. Logic tells me that if it was true that 60 Secret Service Agents were really injured test the total injured among all of the law enforcement agencies deployed in e war of protesters must be 500.

    Bottom line is Trump performed a Apprentice type acting job strictly and specifically for his one agenda and test is solely for re-election.

    The orders of the Secret Service agents, in performance of their duties, must be obeyed. Every American knows that.

    Wait :wall:

    Yes he walked to the park and saw what had happened and to the national landmark to see how it had had to be bordered up and what a disgrace it is for our country, what's your problem?

    "The official said Barr had been told on the scene that there were reports of the crowd passing rocks among themselves and that a bottle had been thrown in his direction."

    Fake News Lies: No, Peaceful Protesters Were Not Tear-Gassed So Trump Could Do a Photo-Op.

    Reuters claims the following video shows U.S. Park Police (USPP) using tear gas on protesters, even though they clearly aren’t.


    They aren’t even wearing gas masks. All Fake News outlets nevertheless reported that tear gas was used, without provocation, against peaceful protesters.

    Fake News NPR claimed, “The plaza between St. John’s Church and Lafayette Park was full of people nonviolently protesting police brutality late Monday afternoon when U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops, with the use of tear gas, suddenly started pushing them away for no apparent reason.” The only photo they show of police gathering to remove protesters once again shows none are wearing gas masks, which would be necessary to protect themselves from tear gas if it were actually used.

    The Fake News New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, ABC News, and many other outlets, reporters, and pundits peddled the claim that peaceful protesters were tear-gassed without provocation to clear the area for Trump. Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden also chimed in, repeating the claim.

    Except it didn’t happen.

    Her statement about him going to see for himself the damage in the park and walking across to the church was an attack on him and showed a lack of grace, period.

    No, the 70+% who support using troops to put down the protests would include much of the DP base which oppose gun rights and the 2nd amendment.
    AntiFa that want to exercise their gun rights would have to appeal to the NRA for support.

    Most Americans seem to believe that. I certainly do not. IMO, peaceful protests should always be tolerated.

    OTOH, any mob engaging in street violence should be stopped instantly. These AntiFa riots should have been stopped instantly with minimal use of force. It would have been very easy for the police to do that without serious injury or property damage.

    many individual members of antifa are law abiding citizens and can apply for firearms

    And Jill Stein voters who saw HRC as a corrupt corporate shill and warmonger.
    If Trump can avoid nuking China or Russia until November he will get a lot more votes from the thinking Left. ;-)
