He was not murdered. He had a lethal amount of drugs in his system. He was already terminal before he encountered the police.

The BLM riots were far worse than anything that happened on Jan 6. Screaming "F" white people is the ultimate in racist hate speech.

If we don't get the media under control this country will go the same as them.
It would be fascinating to have to censor the media to keep their misinformation from destroying the country. Fact checking the fact checkers. It's not that they are outright promoting disinformation, it's that they choose to ignore 80% of what is going on to push these narratives that pander to their politics. They are pushing January 6th like it's 9/11, along with recently talking about UFOs while declassifying what is basically useless information on the matter, in an effort to distract the sheep from what they'd be talking about non-stop if any republican was in the White House.

Yup...Time to move on. That does include the so called Jan6 "Insurrection", right?

Is that ignorance or racism talking? It was in all the papers. There was a trial. Maybe you have not seen the video of the murder of George Floyd?

I'd go all the way back to when they started on Inauguration day 2016.

If i was the media company for the GOP, i'd have commercials running just showing clip after clip of the rioting and destruction. The dude handing out AR's out of the back of his Tesla in the CHAZ zone, the CNN reporter standing in front of the burning business stating "fiery but mostly peaceful", etc.

Then run them 24/7

I challenge you to survive having a knee on your neck for 9.5 minutes. Do you think you would survive?

Maybe you think he didn't deserve to live, but he didn't deserve to be deliberately killed either.

To dems it was the summer of LOVE to murder 30 people, burn down black businesses, attack Federal Court Houses, burn down neighborhoods , spread fear, demolish police cars, throw bricks at the police ,sending many to the hospital injuring many, and the main stream media said it was mostly peaceful.



VS.. Jan 6th ,one DC black bias officer WHO HATED Trump supporters, murdered an unarmed woman veteran Trump supporter and no charges .



Ashley Babbitt was standing between two officers just before she was hoisted in a window and was shot in the neck killing her. What was the threat?

That blood is on Trump's hands. Anyone with half a brain knows that if you try to force your way past federal police officers blocking a doorway at the US Capitol building, there's a good chance you will come under fire.

The middle class is too self-involved and apathetic to make a big deal out of things that don't personally affect them. That is why it is so easy to screw them over. It is summer, people are still vacationing, even if they say they have to cut a few corners. It would take a lot more to get them interested in something bigger than their individualistic lives. Guys still taking their boats out, saying they won't take them out as long because gas prices, but they are still going to the lake. If they don't live in one of the affected riot cities or weren't there on Jan 6, why do they care.
