If that were true, the local Democrat politicians wouldn't have restrained the police and would have protected all those business owners who had been paying taxes for that purpose.

They also wouldn't have seconded those animals' motion on defunding the police.

Democrats like Jerrold Nadler would not have said the r**ting was all a "myth" and the Democrats & mainstream media wouldn't have tried to cover it all up as "peaceful demonstrations."

To anyone who's not profoundly obtuse, your statement holds about as much water as a sieve.

People were thanking the police for limiting the damage and not making thing worse..

defunding the police is a real stupid lip service term which does not even come close to the intent of these people.. t***sfering money is more descriptive but clearly not a catchy phrase..

The crowning example of good slogans may well be "pro-life"... until that was coined, I do not recall a single clinic bombed or doctor murdered.. but a catchy word phrase and wow every one on the right wing jumped on the band wagon and joined in..

And a reminder, as you seem to need it.. the r**ts while they lasted and the protesters were two different groups..as in "not the same people"

Their "message" was in lockstep with the Democrats' response to the r**ting, and just because you wish to revise history doesn't change the reality.

I saw downtown Santa Monica after the r**ts and spoke to business owners, and I've seen independent video of the r**ting there as well.

The police were barely even a presence, they drove around with sirens going and never stopped or exited their cars, even while passing by some people ripping an ATM out of a wall.

Simply put, the Democrats in charge told the police not to get involved.

This is the kind of behavior that results when a major political party aligns itself with the radical left, and the effect of that cause is 100% on the Democratic Party.

There were some nasty scenes going down Thursday on the streets of Portland, Oregon, as Black L***s M****r militants faced off with supporters of police — and officers trying to keep the peace as well.

In one interaction caught on cellphone video, a Black L***s M****r activist — apparently a woman — tells off a male officer using decidedly profane language.

Holding her arm outward and touching the cop's chest, the white B*M militant gets furious at the officer: "Step the f*** back, ugly! S**t! You can't run up on people like that!" Then as he engages in the friendly chat, the militant shouts, "Shut the f*** up, b***h!"

After the militant turns and walks away, she shoves the arm of a black man recording the proceedings on cellphone — and he's justifiably annoyed that she apparently can get away with such an act while he insists he'd be charged with a crime if he did the same thing.


Here's the clip. ( Content warning: Language):


More to the story

As it turns out, a longer video that precedes the latter outburst shows the white B*M militant with an angry, tearful black woman who complains to police that she was called the N-word and that such an act is a "h**e crime."


Things heat up considerably when the officer — who gets the face-full of abuse from the white B*M militant in the latter video — informs the black woman that being called the N-word is not a crime.

"It should be, though!" the black woman yells back.

As the officer and the black woman continue to interact, the white B*M militant tells the cop, "Shut the f*** up! You're speaking beyond your limits, bro!" The cop ignores the slight and encourages both of them to go home.

As the black woman and the officer move closer to each other's faces, the white B*M militant repeatedly says, "Stop walking up on her, sir!" and tells other cops, "Hey! Get your man off of her! He is touching her!"

The starting point — as noted previously — was showdowns between Black L***s M****r militants and supporters of police, referred to as Back the Blue.

And in one scene, the same black woman shown in the above clip starts arguing with a white woman about the proper way to wear a mask — and the black woman tells the white woman, "Shut up, c*****r! Shut up, c*****r!"

With that, the white woman gets furious about being called a "c*****r" and yells back at the black woman using the N-word before walking away. The crowd reacts strongly to the N-word utterance.
