    It won't be the only thing that matters to a jury in a courtroom trial. It doesn't seem to matter to the rioters and looters, except as a convenient excuse to burn and steal property.

    That's because it is not Black Lives Matter Global Network's responsibility to start a White Lives Matter movement. BLM's goals are an "end to the war on black people", reparations, political power, economic justice and community control.

    BLM is about power and control and about "being owed something". Democrats in political power did not steal enough, fast enough, from the rich and give it to the poor (specifically poor minorities...poor whites don't deserve anything special from government), so they're taking matters into their own hands to step in a take what is "rightfully theirs".

    A WLM or (All Lives Matter) group would be about solving police brutality only, and so few innocent people are murdered by police, that we really don't see it as "a cause" worthy of total anarchy against a civilized society. We're not interested in taking what other people earned in the name of "justice and peace".

    As usual with all white supremacy fear mongering, how numerous are they? Do they have any really influence? Nope. Do they hold positions of power in govt or Universities? Nope. Do they have influence on TV or in the media? Nope nope nope. Do they commit significant damage or crime? Barely compared to other groups.

    Now compare their insignificant numbers and power to what BLM has achieved through media, govt and education, celebrity. It’s too numerous to measure because it’s EVERYWHERE!!! You can be fired for simply vocalizing NOT supporting BLM or showing facts about actual violence. But you can openly post lie after lie about BLMs purpose or cops and no HR dept would dare touch you.

    The misinformation and support for spreading outright lies is disturbing.

    I don't suppose that you have any documentation to back all that up?

    Because it is a baseless, inane, accusation disguised as a question

    Info about white supremacy not having any power? I can’t document what doesn’t exist. The better question is Leftists providing any sort of proof it exists in any way to actually be afraid of? If you can find examples of powerful white supremacists all over the country, be my guest. :). When people claim Blacks aren’t safe to walk around in public, guess who they should be afraid of the most? Certainly NOT cops. It’s other Black people sad to say. FBI.org has all the stats you need.

    Regarding Leftists in corporations and tech ostracizing people for their views, look no further than memos and meetings after Trump was elected. Google executives were most disgraceful. James Damore was the highest profile atrocity. And related to that was this.

    My point is, that either way, having your knee on the back of someone's neck for THAT length of time, is never acceptable.

    The aftermath of this incident was horrific, my neighbor burned some leaves in the back yard right after this, he said it was because he had "too many leaves" but i'm not falling for that garbage, he was fuming mad!

    I wonder what your neighbour thought that he was going to achieve by burning leaves.

    He wanted to draw attention to senseless brutality, and boy did it work.

    Nope. It was only about a cubic foot. So it burned itself out quickly. No media coverage. No opportunity to leap on a squad car and yell obscenities.

    It's a shame, he almost got the city riled up enough to take down a CVS, but it fizzled out quickly with him standing there alone with just that small pile of leaves.

    Good post!

    Has anyone seen Erik Prince lately?

    Prince is the CEO and multi-billionaire that loans out mercenaries to do death squad murders and that got rich from American no-bit contracts (formerly Blackwater) to wage war crimes in the Middle-East. Now, Prince's employees and ex-employee are in right-wing domestic terrorist groups, in police departments, and so deeply embedded in the US government that Prince's Sister, Betsy Devos can ignore any judges' court order.

    Some of the chaos during the pandemic isn't just random accident, but planned and funded by right-wing groups such as Prince's US funded mercenary army. Trump's mafia syndicate is waiting and hoping for the next nationally televised stuff video to justify greater military crackdowns in hopes of preventing, or at least creating doubts about the next general election.

    The function of the mainstream media is to keep us blind to all these actions.

    Erik Prince funded spy training for right-wing troll James O'Keefe
