duly noted. sorry if you think im implying that your some kind of racist or judgmental in any way. but you should now that the same government that you are assuming will trample on your rights have been trampeling on the rights of african americans for a long time. and white middle class america is next. dont blame black lives matter for rioting on behalf of the black community. because the same reason right wing patriots stock pile guns to defend their freedom against the government who are trying to disarm them with gun control is the same reason the black community are rioting against police. we are on the same side. but you should realize that the black community has been facing injustice for years and are the first group of people (along with native americans) who will speak out and act against injustice by the government. the people rioting are not your enemies but actual americans who feel that there voices are not being heard. dont let george soros's funding blind you from the people who are your true allies and want real freedom. the black community is literally at the end of the rope as far as the government trampling on constitutional rights is concerned and you better believe middle class white america is next. infringing upon the rights of minorities was only a test run. if things keep going the way they are (and hilary gets elected) then you can be sure this type of treatment is coming to all americans.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

No hard feelings at all. I didn't think you said anything at all that was a personal attack to me. Even if you had, it wouldn't bother me a bit. I have thick skin.

Look I disagree with you on a lot of things, and I think this narrative being pushed that is causing these riots is a lie.

But I only challenge this narrative because I care about people in this country, black white it doesn't matter, all people, and I feel that we need to start being honest so we can solve real problems in all communities.

i understand. you should know that the things you consider to be a "pushed narrative" are actually valid concerns to minority communities in america. this system is rotten to the core. that last thing the government wants is for there to be any understanding between people from opposite sides of the spectrum (like you and me ). but there wont be true change while this government is intact. the republic is dead (you will know this for a fact if hilary is elected). its very early in the game but the police are not on the side of the american people and this will become more clear as time goes on. if left wing patriots actually went to these protest and spoke with the people i guarantee you they would find common ground. ive served in the military myself and the one thing ive learned is that people from different backgrounds and with different ways of life can come together to form an effective team regardless of what they think of each other.

So a midnight curfew has been imposed - what happens if people break the curfew?

Haha - we're pretty much there right now without a curfew.
I guess people will be arrested if they stay out after 12. Seems like a pretty major thing for the authorities to do.

Worth repeating.....these people from the middle class however will not realize what is going on until it is too late as they are too busy laying blame not realizing they have a common enemy ...such is life...apparently

i was watching the live stream until an hour or so past the curfew ....assuming it was an actual live stream there was very little happening...

ETA ...i mean except for large amounts of people walking through downtown and being left alone to do just that...

One wonders why BLM are not protesting outside the Whitehouse. The issue has very little to do with the police. The efforts are misguided, I think.

Hopefully, that means it's all going to calm down.
It seems the truth about him having a gun is started to break through the noise, though the family would only say the video was inconclusive.

Crap i edited before you replied...anyhow...yeah it has a lot more to do with general oppression...sadly for the police they are the middle man therefor they cop the brunt of the rubbish pun intended...

Break out your live streams, after the video release today, its Friday. Tonight might be a bumpy ride.
