Shit like that need to get done.

LarryMerloCVS hey Larry did you guys bring the curb side pickup by seeing how they pick the girls after a late night 2:30 at the corner of the greenway rd dance club

白人:不是说好一起搞事的么?他妈的,这就被出卖了?

So the cops were standing next to this the whole time and didn’t stop him themselves?

You are telling me a guy is breaking concrete right in front of the police and civilians have to jump him and drag him to the police. Seems like a lot of bs. Is this what they mean paid actors or undercover? Peaceful protestors are getting attacked and this guys is doing that..🙄

keithbaldrey Why you breaking a sidewalk? Shoulda curb stomped his face into the sidewalk at the same damn time!

The soldier did the right thing, while Trump is still threatening the people

HoldLawEnforcementAccountable We are long overdue for change when it comes to the rights of minorities. Make your voice heard. Demand legislation to hold law enforcement accountable. It’s time for real Justice for all.

This is what people out of America thought the symbol of America. Yet what we have been seeing is Mr. President of U.S.A.

That was impressive
