C'mon folks. It isn't as if this stuff is particularly daunting. About 2-3% of the population are flat out sociopaths and another 10% are just opportunistic followers. Although they wouldn't break into a store normally, they'll happily join in the looting. Or throwing rocks at cops. If you control the sociopaths, arresting and locking them up, the followers stay under control, too. If you let them do what they want, chaos ensues. This was all proven by Giuliani and Bloomberg decades ago with broken windows policing.

Everyone could see that Chauvin had no business being a cop. But it was a one-off that the Left - "don't let a good crisis go to waste"- and their media stooges used to fuel an anti-police frenzy and a summer of violence, destruction and chaos. And what did we get? Better policing? Nope. Better minority neighborhoods. Nope. Less racism? Nope. We got more crime, violence and outright racism in attacks on elderly and vulnerable Asians and Whites. The aim was to weaken America and it succeeded. Beyond measure. Are you getting the picture? Elect a Democrat halfwit such as Durkan and your city is toast. When someone says they're "progressive," a BLM supporter and want police "defunded" or "reimagined," they're actually saying "I hate America and I want to destroy our country." Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise.

Bruce... you do a good job and i agree, just let me say, i find a small fault with Chauvin, in that St. Floyd had No Business in being a citizen.

Chauvin and many officers, must reach a point of frustration, when seeing the same criminals time after time.

I’m sure that’s true. But Chauvin went too far. And he had something like 20 complaints against him. I support our police but let’s not kid ourselves because we give them life and death power over us. So it isn’t asking too much that they act moderately and judiciously and within the bounds of reasonableness.

Chauvin didn't kill St. Flloyd intentionally. St.Floyd resisted arrest, he was a criminal.

I'll take Chauvin on the street, anyday , over Saint Floyd....Hey that is me , i care not otherwise.

When the police stop you, put your hands up.

He didn’t deserve a life sentence. Floyd died of an overdose.

Yes. This is a time to be clear-minded about what is at stake and who is destroying America.
