    There was an audio recording of that particular incident, Jimmy. Did you even bother to listen to it?

    I thought not.

    I didn't post the incident about the man who was walking his dog in the empty parking lot of his apartment building and was fined $880 for not practicing social distancing. And I didn't tell you about the second event that happened to the same man when the police came to his house and told him that they cancelled that fine, but handed him one for over $2000 for taking his story to the "right wing media".

    But there's not point in bringing those incidents up because the msm won't report them, and the only place you will find them is the "right wing media"

      So nothing to say about the examples I posted about here in the U.S. (Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Idaho, Illinois and California) citing sources like CNN, New York Times, Denver Post, NBC, New York Post, LA Times and others?

            He has a good point there. If these protests were happening in any other nation the republicans would probably be criticising the government and making those same comparisons.

            • Liberals: Don't blame all protestors because a few are being violent and looting.

              Same liberals: We are going to blame all police because a few are racist and abusive.

                For the simple reason that meeting together in a closed space is one of the most effective ways to spread the disease. But by all means, if your particular brand of Christian faith says that you should not care about your fellow human beings and that meeting together in person in a building is more important than human life, even when alternatives are available, go out and loot and steal and yell and scream so that the state can believe it is less risky to let you meet than to try to stop you.

                  Nonsense Jim, we couldn't even meet outside! And most of the big box stores are open and we can use the six foot distancing in our church that they use. And how many protesters will spread the virus and cause more deaths. So if I follow your logic Christians should not be involved in these protests.

                    Same goes for those who cite statistics to support the notion of "white privilege" but freak out when you use statistics to show that blacks are far more likely to commit a violent crime.

                    You can't have it both ways.

                    • At this point I think it is OK to question the sense and responsibility of people who attend 'peaceful protests' given the likelihood of them leading to, or being used as cover for, rioting and looting and violence.

                        Source: Powerful: Protesters Spell Out 'Love' With Burning Homes And Businesses



                        In a powerful display of their care for love and justice, protesters in Minneapolis burned the word "LOVE" into the city, arranging the inspiring message with homes and businesses set ablaze by their riots.

                        Heartfelt and moving.

                        "We just really wanted to show how much we care about love and social justice by burning this community into a powerful reminder of what it's all about," said local protester Jake Hernandez, who had flown in from Portland for the event. "Now, when police and fire helicopters fly over to try to restore order, they'll be inspired by our message of love and harmony."

                        Upon seeing the heart-wrenching message of unity, police dropped their batons, ripped off their badges, donned bandanas, picked up bricks, and joined the protesters in their rioting and looting. "I don't know how I didn't see the light before," said former police officer, now Antifa chapter leader Bridget Morrison as she lobbed a Molotov cocktail into a minority-owned business. "I'm woke to the cause of love and harmony."

                        What a powerful message! The protesters were also planning to burn the word "SOCIAL JUSTICE" into predominantly black parts of town but have sadly run out of buildings to burn.

                        Source: Celebrities Show Solidarity With Protesters By Burning Their Own Homes To The Ground



                        According to sources, Hollywood celebrities have courageously united under an inspiring new movement to show respect for black lives. Entitled the #BurnYourHouseDown movement, celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Legend have volunteered to relinquish their power and privilege by burning their houses and everything they have to the ground.

                        The organizer of this movement released the following statement on Twitter: "Your homes, your riches, and your toys are built on a foundation of white supremacy. They are forever tainted by racism. Your walls and security systems have shut out the voices of the oppressed. Join us. Stand with us. #BurnYourHouseDown!"

                        As the provocative hashtag began trending on Twitter, rich celebrities lept into action. Alyssa Milano employed her house servants to light torches and throw them through her broken windows. Jimmy Kimmel hired Instagram models to jump on trampolines while throwing Molotov cocktails into his front door.

                        Black Lives Matter protestors gathered to watch the flames as they engulfed the multimillion-dollar homes. With tears in their eyes, they joined hands with celebrities and sang John Lennon's 'Imagine' as the massive monuments to white supremacy toppled to the ground.

                        Local news stations reported that twelve local housekeeping and landscaping businesses have been put out of work due to the #BurnYourHouseDown movement, but it's a small price to pay for the "change we need."

                        The twelve small business owners then moved to Texas and built mansions of their own.

                          That's a simplistic, and of course biased way of portraying it. No one is blaming all police, they're blaming the system that allows the bad actors to get away with murder. The two that assaulted the 75 year old man in Buffalo fudged their report which said that the old man wasn't pushed, but that he stumbled and fell. Fudging reports like that seems to be a common practice in police cover-ups. The DA in the Arbery case tried to sweep the crime under the rug to protect the McMichaels thugs. The cop in N. Carolina, and the backup who arrived on the scene after the shooting of a man 8 times in the back as he was running away manipulated the scene and filed a false report implicating the victim. This is the kind of corrupt stuff that goes on behind the scenes to protect the criminal conduct on behalf of the police themselves.

                                The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.
