You liberals are killing me, and your politics are literally killing innocent people. Disgusting.
I’m with you. What is it with these liberals being so insistent on painting out-of-control violent rioters as “innocent people”? They’re throwing bricks at cops, setting their cars on fire, burning down buildings, breaking into stores and stealing whatever they can carry out, and causing injuries to many people.

This upside-down world of liberals where criminals are good guys will definitely bring this country down.

Time to bring in the army. I saw "protesters" beat a man and his wife with boards because they were defending their business which the protesters were trying to loot.

They need to bring in the .50 cals and sweep the streets. clean

This is thuggery.

What a baseless accusation. Talk about hate speech.

Did you even read the linked article? Direct photographic proof of cops attacking innocent people who were not engaged in the protests.

Knocking down an elderly man with a cane has nothing to do with "savage rioters." And it was not an accident. It was an out of control cop. Innocent woman with groceries shot in the face with a rubber bullet? Not an accident; an out of control cop did it.

The vast majority of cops are doing heroic work. Can the same be said about the rioters/looters?

Exactly. It's only common sense.

Regulars to P&OC are very aware of where the big pile of barnyard excrement is.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were a good cop, someone who served their community well.


Police can't root out the bad apples until they admit they have a problem first. Too often we see knee-jerk defensive tribalism from cops, the chiefs and the D.A.'s.

Didn't watch the clip, but he shouldn't have been there. And any time you have a huge number of rioters you run the risk of collateral damage. Just like in a war.

Innocent people don't go to a riot to have fun.

Wow dude.

True. I live 20 minutes outside one of the cities where the rioters are acting like crazed animals, and I wouldn’t go down there tonight if someone offered me $1 million.
