    Seattle City Council ties cops' hands — so police chief is forced to tell business owners they're on their own against rioters

      In a way, yes, they are. Both show the power just one man can possess.

And to me its just a guy making a small statement, and it made conservatives split their coats, and call for the cancellation of the NFL, and virtue signalling about how they've stopped watching a sport that doesn't matter.
            I never watched Football or much sports. I was upset because they were disrespecting the flag, and arguing about things is what we do here on theologyweb. People will argue about anything. same with facebook.

            But you didn't see any police breaking up the protests, or feds surrounding football stadiums, or any conservatives starting riots over it. Because they were peaceful and they didn't destroy anything. It didn't mean we didn't think they were unpatriotic morons, or not want to disagree with them loudly on social media. Or even boycott NFL games (which is in itself a peaceful counter-protest)

              You'd have to ask a conservative who lost their mind over it, cause I certainly did not.

              As well as being silent and peaceful, but apparently all it took for conservatives to go howling on this forum and across the internet was one guy not standing at the NFL. You talk about liberals being easily triggered, but that was ridiculous to watch.
              You're doing that thing, again, where you're assuming things that simply are not true, particularly in my case. As I said, I thought it was stupid, but America affords us the right to be stupid.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                You mean, like censorship? Because the left can't tolerate a difference of opinion. We must ALL smile and nod and accept this "peaceful protest" without commentary?

                          I suspect you're not very good at mind reading. At least I don't knowingly defend and support a treasonous enemy to democracy.

                            Hey CP, you must be old enough to remember the civil rights protests of the 60"s, right. Do you remember the beatings those peaceful protesters got at the hands of the police? You know, like when John Lewis got his skull cracked open by the police for defiantly daring to walk over the Pettis bridge, the cops with their clubs and German shepards chasing and beating the protesters. They looked like riots, didn't they?. Certainly weren't peaceful. Was that what you'd call a peaceful protest, a protest that you would support? Were you in support of those cops as well, the way you're defending Trumps stormtroopers today?

                              A) I never claimed I was.
                              2) You'd have to actually have a mind worth reading.

                              You keep repeating that lie, Jim. But you DO defend the actual anarchists who are out to destroy democracy, and you're too stupid to realize that.

                                This is about the STUPIDEST argument you've ever made. The fact that they were not looting, rioting, burning down buildings acting like anarchists is EXACTLY why the actions of the authorities were so bad. They were the EPITOME of peaceful protesters.

                                Was that what you'd call a peaceful protest, a protest that you would support?
                                I would support those protesters, yes, because they weren't acting like a bunch of moronic anarchists.

                                Were you in support of those cops as well, the way you're defending Trumps stormtroopers today?
                                To compare the anarchists and arsonists you support with the peaceful protesters of the Civil Rights Era shows what a morally bankrupt moron you really are.
