Police threw teargas canisters at the protesters but the wind kicked and blew it back at the officers while the protesters cheered. I love it! :lol:

Hey Rich. Well, like everything Trump says, he does so out of ignorance and political expediency.

What set this off tonight was actually the press conference at which the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota-St. Paul and, particularly, the local DA, who stated that he has obtained "other evidence" which added questions that they needed to look into or some BS like that. His interview can be found in the local Minnesota-St. Paul news outlets and YouTube. I just watched a former FBI agent on Don Lemon's show state that he also believes that it was the press conference.

You (and the former FBI agent and Lemon as well for his viral speech tonight) aren't wrong. But this from the highest authority in the country? This isn't gonna help.

I thought they knew we figured out "thug" was code for the n-word?

Trump, who wishes daily he could just come out and use the n-word, is trying to inspire his fascist brownshirts to mobilize against the protesters. good luck

Oh sure. He's going to cause a civil war and then claim martial law and attempt to maintain his power. I have no doubt about that. I'm sure plans for that were in the works even prior to Mr. Floyd's murder. People have been talking about Trump's plan to remain in office after he lost the election by claiming it was a alleged fraud.

This guy needs to get tried for attempted murder. I think the FBI did that to a kid who called in a bomb threat to my high school as a joke.

Exactly, except this was on steroids.

Attempted murder? You mean to say that no one has died yet from these riots and the police response? Wow. They know they're wrong. The police unions have too much power over the DA's office and the Mayor's office. I don't think police departments, as paramilitary organizations, should be permitted to have union representation. Does our military have a union? Hell no! So why should cops have that benefit now? They've proven that they don't deserve it. Moreover, there needs to be a law which creates a special state prosecutors office specifically designed to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by the police.

At this point, whenever he pulls something like this, I wonder what he's trying to divert our attention from.

It's not that he's necessarily trying to divert our attention, though that could be a collateral benefit. He just looks to see how he can capitalize on each situation. Here, at least in my opinion, he's trying to shore up his pro-law enforcement bona fides so he can lock up the police vote along with those of their families and friends. I've seen it here on Long Island where there is a very large police population. NYPD, Nassau County PD, Suffolk county PD, and all their families and friends. I see so many "Blue Lives Matter" here. That reminds me, I need a Black Lives Matter bumper sticker for my car.

In my opinion, and others, this is the guy who set in motion this evening's riots. Mike Freeman, the county DA. He's responsible and should be fired immediately. He's a piece of shyt.
