To be honest, we shouldn't view the destruction of Covid-19 testing sites and countless medical supplies through the lens of whether it helps or hurts Trump, but rather through the lens of it hurts us all. Many of these testing sites were in black-majority areas.

NOBODY should be defending or deflecting.

Welp, what good does destroying a city do? What good does destroying businesses do? Homes? COVID-19 testing sites? African Americans apparently have been hardest hit by COVID-19, so this is extremely sad if one thinks about it.
Yes.
This includes not just calling out the rioters, but the posters like burdell.
Those testing sites and medical supplies shouldn't have been destroyed by riots and will lead to more sickness and possibly more death.
I'm not the one here making excuses for the nonsense Dear Leader continues to spew daily.
Shameful!
You are literally deflecting and accepting the destruction of 70 Covid-19 testing sites and countless medical supplies due to your disdain for Trump. Find a soul if you can.
nope. it doesn't matter what these nutjobs have done, it's still the fault of 'racism.'
It is completely beyond my understanding how anyone who is intelligent enough to know how to post a message on social media (admittedly, a pretty low bar) can say with a straight face that "racism" is the cause of any potential coronavirus spike. How does such a notion take hold in someone's brain and find its way to being typed on a screen without being blocked by one's own internal sense of logic? I don't get it.

And the other thing is, Chauvin, the cop who killed Floyd had 18 prior misconduct charges against him. It sounds like some of them against white suspects too. It is highly possible that Chauvin just abused suspects regardless of race that he got his hands on.
The Public Union protected Chauvin, but he should have been fired well before he got his 19th misconduct charge by killing Floyd.
Why aren't we talking more about why he wasn't fired years ago? I understand that unions offer a lot of $$$ to politicians' campaigns, but this needs to be addressed.

What I think is the continual lies from this administration will hurt us more so and no, I've NEVER defended violent protest and looting but:
HOW are we supposed to form an informed opinion when the word from the White House continually changes?
i.e.
First we're told 'Anyone who wants a test can get one' which we soon learn is completely untrue.
Then we hear, the virus is a minor blip that will disappear with the arrival of warm weather which certainly seems to have little basis in fact.
Then we hear the reason we have so many cases is we do so much testing.
And there's no denying we've seen a continual denial of scientific fact by this administration when it's contrary to their preferred story.
First we were told there was no teargas used prior to the Dog & Pony show staged in front of St' John's and now it admittedly was.
That is why I have difficulty taking the words of Dr. Brix or other members of this administration to be true unless independently corroborated.
Why would any rational person believe this administration credible when the story changes like the weather?
