Vote for whomever you want, but a tweet from Trump , on the side of this kid will push you to the side supporting all the riots, looting and unrest ? Right...
Let's call that potential tweet "a dog whistle too far."
Yeah I absolutely see how that scenario could be problematic in your state.
In my state, if you break into someone's house at night....you basically just signed your death warrant. There wouldn't even be an arrest or trial in a scenario like that.
It happened in broad daylight. My friend came home and walked into a burglary in process. He thought his wife was home, so he was justifiably concerned. The sheriff didn't press charges. On the contrary- after their investigation they said it was justified. The DA is the one that had the case reopened AND had another investigative team come in.
If three men with a gun can't handle one person with a knife without almost killing him...........maybe you need new people to have the guns.
If the cops weren't remotely scared of a kid running down the street with an AR-15........why might that be? They killed Tamir Rice and he was a 12-year old holding a toy gun. I mean based on what we've seen, the cops should have been nervous and at least fired a couple of bullets at the kid. Why couldn't they remain calm for Tamir but had all the patience for Rittenhouse?
What would you have had them do different? They tried to use a taser, they tried to talk with him, they tried to wrestle with him....he was intent on getting to the car and getting a knife and killing them.....he wasn't interested in going to jail on that felony warrant.
With the kid running down the street, THE KID was the one who called them! He was running to them for protection and they knew it. The kid was fleeing the same people who have been knocking cops out with bricks and throwing feces at them for days. Those terrorists attacked the kid and he called the cops there to protect him from them. Context kiddo.
You cannot compare dissimilar events stripping away all context and produce something of value.
Protesters are out trying to dismantle systems that treat Americans unfairly. That's as patriotic as you get.
Do you not consider Dr. King a patriot, then?
He specifically said rioters and looters.
