13% looting and rioting in Minneapolis...

My wife and I was in Hiram an hour ago and we saw two Cobb County law enforcement vehicle running lights and sirens headed towards Marietta.
My cousin lives in Marietta and said there were protesters marching....

I don't want to sound the alarm, but lead tend to stop idiots, plenty of lead...

So, we live about 2 miles south of a retail center called Scottsdale Quarter.

Last night, social media blew up that the rioters were going to target the high-end shops and restaurants there.

Scottsdale PD decided to monitor social media too (good call, right?).

The result: Several heavily armored military personnel vehicles in the parking lot adjacent to Scottsdale Quarter with a large number of officers armed with automatic weapons.

No Rioting.

His death was tragic, regardless of which autopsy is more accurate. Also tragic is that it was over a fake $20 bill. I would have gladly sent the $20 just to prevent this mess.

No doubt, I was just waiting for more solid evidence before being judge, jury, and executioner like a lot of people on Facebook.

I suspect a lot of things will change in the wake of this. While some of that is probably needed, I really feel bad for all the good cops out there who will be unfairly condemned. Law enforcement is one profession I would not want to be in right now.

After reading a lot on Facebook last night, I find myself really down today.

So much hate out there, and from all directions.

I'm right there with you, just feel very empty and frustrated over things beyond my control.

Just love each other folks, is it really that difficult? If someone hurts you, pray for them and attempt reconciliation. If you hurt someone, pray for them and yourself and attempt reconciliation.

Life isn't perfect but there is one truth regarding life....it's short so don't waste a day of it.
 
imho ~ there's a lot of folks on the left that love this.

Their hatred for both Trump and the US is beyond words.

This is pretty simple, treat each other with equal respect and equal opportunity.

Punish those breaking the law by destructing property (both private & public) and looting or committing assault.
 
New Charges on Police that started it:


All four police officers in the killing of George Floyd now will face charges, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Wednesday.

"Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is increasing charges against Derek Chauvin to 2nd degree in George Floyd’s murder and also charging other 3 officers. This is another important step for justice," the Democratic senator tweeted.

Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump earlier Wednesday implored officials to hold the officers accountable in powerful remarks at the site of Floyd's killing outside of a convenience store. The incident has sparked mass protests over questions of police brutality and racial inequality and has shaken the nation.

“We are demanding justice. We expect all of the police officers to be arrested before we have the memorial here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tomorrow,” Crump said alongside Floyd family members. “Because we cannot have two justice systems in America, one for black America and one for white America. We must have equal justice for the United States of America.”
 
Democrat mayors across America have locked up business owners such as barbers and bartenders for violating Covid-19 social distance mandates, yet they turn a blind eye towards rioters, looters, antifa and anarchists who've caused mayhem, death and destruction in big cities all across America.

To make room for the business owners, they had to let convicts out of jail.

What the heck is going on here? This just ain't right!
 
Enough is a damn enough! Most everyone agrees that what happened to George Floyd was uncalled for, it certainly appears he was murdered. There’s been enough protesting, looting and killing in the streets already We Get It. The police involved have been charged and jailed enough is enough.

It's pretty bad when your blood pressure goes through the roof just watching TV... Enough is enough. I'm ready for Trump's 2nd term already.

Do you think Trump is re-elected?

5 months ago, yeah.... it looked like a sure thing. Now, I'm not so sure.

Biden as president? The guy has no values.
What does he stand for (besides getting elected and providing cover for his kid) ??

If Biden is elected, he's nothing but a puppet.
A puppet for whom? Dunno.... maybe whoever provides his son with another job offer ?
