They called in the national guard to stop the looting, and to protect the peaceful protesters. This was originally a peaceful protest, but some bad apples decided to steal. Sadly enough joined in that it moved from common burglary to looting! They tried that here, but people refused to join in....

I'm all for a peaceful protest, it's when that spills over to innocents that I start to get ruled up. Still, I'm not in America and so my opinion on the matter is moot. I hope it all calms down before it goes much further.
If these people didn't insist on stealing, this wouldn't have escalated. If the Police weren't Insane, this wouldn't have escalated either!
With the National Guard deployed, things should calm down fast! Peaceful protesting is a Constitutional Right, and Must be allowed and protected!
:)>Many issues to work through up there, I'm sure. let's see how it all works out.
They arrested the Cop for murder, good 1st step! The Guard there should shut it down, doesn't make sense to loot, with an armed Man every ten feet....
:'(People who harm women, children, the weak, disabled and those unable to stand for themselves shouldn't be tolerated in my opinion...A cop that does it even more so as a cop has taken an oath to serve and protect. It's people like that who make it difficult for those in the profession who do the right thing.
I have a problem with looting. I'll never feel it is necessary in moments like this in Minnesota. Just my feelings on the matter.
Glad the
copperp was apprehended.Once a prisoner is cuffed, the police are required, by law, to protect them. We had a local problem, and those responsible are serving a long sentence in prison!
The other
perpthat needs execution, is the Mayor of NYC. Per law (USC 18 Section 242) anyone using the "color if law" to steal Constitutional Rights, should be prosecuted. He sent infected patients to nursing homes, with shipnents of body bags! Murder for political gain....>:(The world is a pretty reprehensible place in the main, a few shining examples of goodness interspersed amongst copious actions of the greedy and ambitious. Watched a little footage from the US this morning, from my quiet, tree-lined neat and tidy suburb...Looks hideous up there.
