30. I posted a question on this forum regarding the effects of violent rioting on the election.

I asked if the violent rioting could cause Biden to lose the election. It was taken down for some undisclosed violation. I registered a protest and it has not been answered.

I see that Trump has not lost any time in seizing on the violence in Kenosha to us it as an excuse to send in troops. This is exactly what I was attempting to post that those responsible for the violence could do significant damage to Biden in that Trump will claim that it is an example of what he has been warning about that Biden's election would led to lawlessness. Of course this is totally false, but I fear that it could be effective in swaying opinion. I don't know what the political position of those who are responsible for the violence including burning of businesses, but if they are Democratic supporters they are doing serious damage to our determination to win this election. It does serious damage to the credibility of those who are peacefully and constitutionally correct in their right to peaceful protest that is a valuable right to correct grievances.

I just want to add that of the five responses before it was taken down, all were in total agreement that it could negatively affect Biden.


I want to respond that my appeal has been approved.

3. Is this a green light?

Open season for hunting humans?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Holy crap!

To the armed kooks: "You guys need anything? Water? Donuts? A night with my daughter?"

To some local person: "Hey, you! You're a civilian and you have to leave this area!"

[Bluepinky]

6. "We appreciate you guys, we really do."

Says the cop to the white gun-toting guy from his armored military vehicle. This is crazy shit happening in our country.

The Taliban has now infiltrated our streets, in the form of cops and right wing gun nuts.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Yeah, I heard it. Ugh.

The armed guys probably aren't even a local taxpayers.

I put exaggerated quotes in my post, of course, but that was my impression of the BS.

[superpatriotman]

11. I'd liken it more to the Revolutionary Guard and Basiji

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basij

Today the force consists of young Iranians who volunteer, often in exchange for official benefits. Basij serve as an auxiliary force engaged in activities such as internal security, enforcing state control over society,[9] law enforcement auxiliary, providing social services, organizing public religious ceremonies, policing morals, and suppression of dissident gatherings.[10][11] The force is named Basij; an individual member is called basiji.[12]

5. Now...anyone, anyone sane, any logical non-racist person, tell me, please tell me:

Why should we not DEFUND the police?

Yes, that exact precise word: DEFUND!

Of what possible use are the police to me, my friends, my neighbors? Are they going to help or hurt me?

Tell me again: WHY NOT DEFUND???

9. His parents must be very proud.

Trump should ask Kyle to give a speech at the convention.

10. What the heck was he doing in the far-right pic?

Holding up three fingers?

"I shot three of them!"

[Midnight Writer]

18. He is holding up his blue glove, so police will know he is a "friendly".

[Buckeye_Democrat]

19. Oh, is that another secret symbol? "I'm blue like you!"

Thanks for your reply!

Those assholes already ruined the "okay" symbol for normal people too.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. My daughter went OK, I said why are you doing the WP symbol? She said, I'm not letting them take it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. Good for her!

(And I hope they don't try to take away "thumbs-up" too.)

[Chakaconcarne]

29. and have a justice dept that actually gives a rats ass.

34. Absolutely.

[Doremus]

13. Murderer. nt

[Bayard]

15. Is this Wisconsin?

Murder, plain and simple. Cops should have arrested him on the spot, instead of patting his 16 yr old racist back, for gawdsakes!

Its too early in the day for my stomach to be tied in knots again.

24. Progressive Wisconsin: targeted for destruction by Kochs, Limbaugh, FOX, Bradley's, Hendricks

To dismantle the Humanistic State of Wisconsin. Lots of money bought fancy consultants, linguists and propagandists hired to turn the Badger state RED at any cost. Even if, that red is BLOOD!

[JHB]

28. Let's not leave out Charlie Sykes...

...who from 1992 to 2016 was Wisconsin's own state-level Rush Limbaugh.

How many of the cops and militia goons were regular listeners?

[StClone]

32. Oh my now he sees the light ($$$) MSNBC's wunderkind

Like the Lincoln Project use now to get what we want then lose'em.

[BeckyDem]

16. America is very sick. This is another example that refutes there are a few bad apples.

Joe Biden must win and then commit to defunding the police.

[rockfordfile]

17. Why isn't he arrested

21. He Is Now

25. Can't wait to hear a summary of his life influences

[ProfessorGAC]

42. One Thing I Read..

...is that he's fascinated by cops.

[johnp3907]

27. Is this what they mean by "palling around with terrorists?"

[Alex4Martinez]

31. Yup, pretty typical and the reason we need to act and resist. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

33. The police have become a completely rogue force in this country,

and soon they will be openly an arm of the new fascist party.

If we manage to take back the government, then PDs like the one in Kenosha will need to be completely disbanded, and reinstated under direct federal control.

If we don't get them under control, the future will be genuinely terrifying.

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. Agree 100%

37. There's much more to this than meets the eye. Stay tuned. nt

Forgive me for not trying to romanticize the situation.

50. Over the years I've seen our nation come through many tough

situations. The results of the 2016 election have put us in a temporary bind but now Americans are about to come together and repair much of the damage. Of course it won't be easy.

I have full faith in the common decency which abides in the vast majority of Americans.

39. I saw someone on the internet insist that 99% of cops are good

If that's the case then that bad 1% sure does manage to get around.

[George II]

47. Who might that "someone" be?

[melman]

48. I can't recall

But I do recall them saying there should be more reporting on all the great things cops do. Can you imagine?

[George II]

49. You do recall that? Wow, that's quite a surprise. I'm sure he/she never said that.

[George II]

51. Joe Biden, August 31, 2020:

I’ve worked with police in this country for many years. I know most cops are good, decent people.
