Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

Cool, so the police just let them in. Perfect.

WTF...

 

[LinekersLegs]

There was shots fired in blm and I still think it was a disgrace the government was trying to suppress it.

Onto ignore you go again, this is not the time

I wish.

Well not necessarily in the name of ignorant trump supporters.

It looks bad, and it is, but in reality there's at maximum ten cops there facing a large mass of people. I suspect they were told to make an organised retreat.

If they're outnumbered, do they fight them there or walk back to try and make a second more controllable line? It's not right, but I suspect that's the logic.

The police should have done much, much better overall and hopefully heads will roll, but I'm considering what those individual officers have been told to do.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Disgusting and shameful scenes. Trumps gotta go down for this

TBF the equipment of those cops was completely and utterly unsuitable for what was going to happen. Loads of them were on pushbikes ffs. Even here, with an (almost) all unarmed police, they'd be more tooled up than that.

Totally different gear than they came in for BLM and liberal protests

Then stop making ridiculous comments until you catch yourself up.

This isn't a joke mate.

One thing I wont abide is a state clamping down in any protest. Even one I disagree with.

possibly, but the large number of police unions endorsing the President makes it suspect - and it led to one person being shot, and could easily have led to a bloodbath

People still defending him

[Sassy Colombian]

So, here we are, 4 hours after this all basically started and stilllll no backup.

Some cops are too busy taking pics with the terrorist

True and you may be correct, however we know how politicised the police can be especially at the top levels. I have a feeling hands may have been tied.

People being armed also likely figured into the calculation

 

[RAFUH]

i suspect it is for the elected officials, although you can't ignore the historical significance of an image like this

Particularly with the timing of Warnock being elected

 

[carolinablue232]

I’d impeach him just to make double sure he can’t ever run again tbh.

Could impeachment proceedings continue after he’s already out of office in a couple weeks? Probably easier just to charge him for some other crime so he can’t run again as a felon. Gotta be plenty to choose from.

Please don't legs. I dont agree with them bigots. I just trying to make a point about protesting.
