They are just peaceful protesters they don't mean anyone any harm according to leftists.
Demons came into the church to disrupt services.
I keep telling you people the dem leftists and Blm are DEMONS. Or at the very least demon possessed. This is horrible coming into a church of all places with their demonic attitudes.
Even if I were ever a staunch blm supporter (which I’m not, never was, and never will be) this scene would turn me against them. That scene both inside and outside was disgusting.
Sorry, you’re just too biased to see this for what it is. Perhaps someone else will continue to debate you, but it would be pointless for me.
I'm middle of the road. On extreme right wing forums (like this) I'm dismissed because I'm obviously biased to the left. On extreme left wing forums I am part of, I'm dismissed because they think I'm biased to the right. It's very unfortunate that rational thought, finding the positives from both sides of the isle, and finding middle ground has such a small place in political discourse today.
That said, we can definitely agree to disagree. Send me a message if you want to actually talk more.
I highlighted the phrase you used that made me want to respond.
Every year now on average the police causes the death of about a thousand people in the US
There are various volunteer websites which keep track, including the race if known ( some are undetermined how they identify)
Would it surprise you to know that there are plenty if not a majority of white people killed by the police?
It is not about the systemic racism - it is a problem of an excessive force by militarized police against civilians
Just recently a young white woman was shot dead on her way to work during a police traffic stop.
She was not a career criminal and convicted felon like George Floyd, she was not a suspect in fake currency like George Floyd, she was not on drugs like George Floyd! She was not armed.
And yet,
Nobody even mentions/ knows her name!
Why is nobody protesting?
We ALL as Americans need to address this situation.
The race card is used for other reasons. Don’t be naive.
That isn't an accurate representation of police killings. Police most often kill because their lives are threatened, and investigations bear that out. The number of unjustified killings of unarmed people is far, far lower. You probably know that. And there is a lot being done to further reduce those numbers. But we already did a little experiment in alternative community policing. It was called CHOP. It didn't go well.
The police, when allowed to do their jobs, hold back a torrent of evil that we are now seeing unleashed upon our urban areas. Another experiment in getting rid of the police---not going well.
And in the case of this church being invaded and threatened, the police were so docile they didn't even arrest a mob that entered a building with intent to intimidate.
I've seen countless examples in recent weeks--thanks to this anti-police movement--where the police just do nothing and let chaos reign.
I've watched several videos from this church in Troy, NY and it seems clear the mob was harassing, threatening, and trespassing. There was even some physical violence. So why aren't the police enforcing laws???
I'll bet that if this church had services during the pandemic, Cuomo would send state troopers over there to arrest them. But this behavior is allowed to continue with the cops just standing there watching? Is law and order dead? I think Covid killed it.

I'm a moderate Democrat. I hurl every time someone like you posts your airy fairy liberal ideology and then claims you're in the middle of the road.
The BLM and Antifa want to get rid of all stained glass windows in churches saying they are racist. Everything to them is racist.
