I would love to hear from Democrats on why the riots are Trumps fault.

Please be specific.

While I have no love for Trump, this situation, and the out of control people there, have nothing to do with anything Trump has done. It is simply a group of people who have zero respect for the law venting their frustrations at what occurred.

When this shooting first happened, I was 100% on the side of the black community and felt these police officers went way over the line. But then, the rioters shot themselves in the foot by acting like thugs who were only more concerned about looting and burning stores than justice.

I can not even stand to watch any coverage of this on TV, it is senseless and shameful. I have always supported, and liked black citizens, but I am very disappointed in the way those rioters are behaving. Businesses and residents, who had ZERO to do with the death of this black man, are suffering and being targeted for NO REASON.

This has killed any respect I had for the blacks, and whites, who are involved in this mess. They are more concerned about getting a new pair of Nike's or a bottle of liquor than justice. Why the police have not arrested a lot of them is hard to understand.

Cannot STAND Trump but the riots are not his fault.

Not his fault at all but he could make things easier by not tweeting during it all. Because as long as he does that the media is going to make it look like he's partly responsible for the continued riots.

I haven't heard anyone say that, but the board is FULL of people parroting "they are democrats, they are democrats".

Why don't you wait until someone blames Trump before you rush to his defense.

His Twitter feed which was denounced by both sides had the rhetoric of inflaming the situation on top of that it took him like 2 days before saying anything about getting justice just like it took him forever to denounce the neo nazis in south Carolina. Pay attention.

Obviously Trump's actions did not start the riots, but his tweets have certainly fanned the flames.

There are Democrats who would blame Trump for the weather that scrubbed the SpaceX liftoff last Wednesday.

And they WON'T come forward to explain why. That wouldn't forward their agenda.
