Will we see another round of looting & destruction in America's Democrat controlled cities, or is there nothing left to steal & destroy?

Is this guy's life as important as George Floyds? If it is as important, there must be more riots...right?

It's quite another when you have video (from Wendy's surveillance) of a suspect stealing a taser and aiming it at the cop.
Don't be naive. The left has no shame. There is no bar too low for them to try to limbo under.

Remember, another 4 years of Trump will send them into chaotic convulsions. Don't underestimate their level of despracy.

https://www.citizenfreepress.com/bre...man-at-wendys/ The video is on the page. What a joke. Every cop should just quit. Let them fend for themselves!

I guess we'll see.

I do wonder - if this had happened a month from now, when many cities would no longer be sending cops to the scene but rather unarmed civilians who deal with issues like a sleeping man in a car blocking the drive through at Wendy's, how this would have ended in that case?

I can guess. The unarmed non police would have arrived, woken the guy up, he would have driven off and perhaps killed someone in a car wreck.

FYI - the mayor of Atlanta is one of the candidates that Biden's team is reportedly vetting as a potential VP candidate.

I've been watching CNN for the last 10 minutes.

They're not showing the part of the video where the idiot gets shot for turning around and aiming the taser at the cops.

One other thing: something that is likely to be problematic with regard to police reform is that this is such a hot button issue that politicians are going to want to be involved and have their hands all over this. The problem is that I personally think that civilians really have very little clue about what constitutes sound law enforcement policy and use-of-force policy. They may mean well but they have no law enforcement training and I think that is likely to become obvious. As much as they might not want to, they really are going to have to include law enforcement personnel in policy reforms & training reforms to try to ensure that what the politicians/civilians are proposing actually makes sense and is feasible for law enforcement.
