The Police Are Not Interested In De-Escalating This Situation. (Long video)

This is a long vid of daily news, but they provide decent information of current events and the protest situation. It is definitely worth a watch if you have time.

1. A thought keeps reoccurring to me.

Did the police let the rioters break windows and start fires on purpose ???

I think they did it to set the narrative that the peaceful protesters needed to be stopped.

This played right in to Trump's mindset and that of his cult.

They used this as an excuse to ramp up the violence against the peaceful protesters.


Thanks for posting.

I will watch the video latter.

2. That cop in Salt Lake City shoving the old guy to the ground.......

Obviously old, had a cane and probably really bad knees. He was just FUCKING standing there. If they needed everyone moved they could have just asked and he would have moved along--at his own pace. Bet that POS cop will be back on the Force by Monday if not already.

That video was sickening and should be played over and over like the George Floyd video.

3. Excellent video

Never heard of these guys. Definitely worth the watch. Police brutality has been an extreme problem for decades.

4. The police are the escalation

They needed to stand by the local businesses for protection and not interfere in the actual demonstrations

5. It is shocking how much police brutality in going under-reported by local and national news coverage

I can tell you most people only heard of the one in Washington DC and think it is an isolated incident.

6. It is central to the militaristic, authoritarian right wing mind that one must crush one's

opponents with unconditional force until they beg for mercy. It's why Floyd died, it is why the police brutalize protestors and journalists. Militarism is one of the many issues that have created the modern police force, along with racism and utter disregard for public safety. Their fellow cops' safety is always the first priority.
