    Yes, they do.
    A lot of our citizens apparently have no concept of what happens when you lose the rule of law.

    Having people defend the actions of a mentally ill 17 year old running around the streets shooting and killing people at his discretion is indeed a scary development in this country. Before Trump would this have even happened to begin with and would any sane person have defended it? It's a dark path we seem to be on.

    I find making martyrs out of drug taking habitual criminals ridiculous

    So Gipper being a former lawyer do you think this country was founded on shooting drug addicts and habitual criminals 7 times in the back?
    Wouldn't be any need for lawyers, prosecutors or judges if that were the case.

    If cops have to wait for the criminal to obtain a weapon and fire the first shot before defending themselves we're going to have even more dead cops than we do every year. And while we're talking about criminals, there have been thousands of criminals in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, NYC, and DC that have gone unarrested because of Democratic politicians who refuse to allow police to do their jobs. Don't start the country founding preaching crap.

    1. The victim of violent sexual assault and domestic abuse called the cops
    2. The officers tried to serve the arrest warrant of a violent criminal
    3. The violent criminal resisted arrest, fighting off the officers, as well as TWO DIFFERENT TASERS that were deployed, telling the officers he had a knife

    btw - a knife is considered a deadly weapon

    4. The violent criminal then entered the car, potentially placing the children in the car in danger, to apparently grab the knife
    5. Blake was shot in the back, bringing the confrontation to an end

    The Left Coalition answer to this is "see, we need to abolish the police for things like this". Individuals with their brain still intact ask "so, we no longer protect women and children? We no longer arrest violent criminals with an arrest warrant? If the violent criminal resists arrests, they are allowed to go free? Instead of police, we send unarmed social workers to the domestic abuse 9-1-1 call, and hope the violent criminal listens when they say 'please stop, come with us'?"

    The violent criminal did not listen to lawful orders given by armed police, struggled physically with them, threatened violence, resisted less-than-lethal force, and was shot. And this is who the Left Coalition raises as their paragon example?

    NOBODY argued that the police didn't need to make some changes after Floyd. NOBODY argues that the police don't still need to make some changes. However, the Left Coalition has turned that universal good will into universally defending the actions of violent criminals that serve their agenda vs. defending the right of the victims to their "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Amazing that there is NOT ONE WORD about the victim that Blake was AGAIN victimizing, placing her children in harm's way. The tragedy from as the Left sees it, is that their dad was shot in front of them, not that a violent criminal was doing violent things.

    For those of us that have forgotten what news REPORTING sounds like:



    They leave the conclusions to the viewer, not angle it in order to bias toward or away from Trump.

    The conclusion I reach? That India seems to be struggling with the same balance of pandemic response vs. economy that the US is. That the pandemic is not going away, but the debilitated economies are lethal as well. (I can see TDS individuals stating that the per capita comparison is clear indication at how poorly the US is/was doing in the pandemic response, and more reason to shut the country down and allow more mostly peaceful protesters to mingle.)

    Does this look like a well adjusted 17 year old defending his property or defending himself or does it look like a deranged Alt-right conservative confused kid incited to violence by his president?

    Here's a photo CNN ran of Biden with his son. Also included is the original photo. CNN actually altered the photo taking out the Redskins logo.

    gip, I don't consider that a big problem. But then, why would doctoring a photo be necessary if it weren't viewed as potentially embarrassing to Biden? Ah, now I get it, THAT is the story.

    At this point, does anyone refute the FACT that CNN doctors photos, soundbites, and videos to LIE to their sheep???

    Nothing CNN does surprises me these days.

    Unless they would recommend Trump then I would probably die of shock.

    I actually saw that on Fox News.

    Very interesting on a couple of levels. Not the least of which that its just more proof CNN is a tool of the Democrats and not real news. Fake news as Trump likes to say.
