AlisonForKY That. Is. One. Ugly. MF.

Wait....he died🤔

Quit calling these people protesters! They are looters, rioters, and anarchists not protesters. You give protesters a bad name when you include these criminals. At least say violent or criminal protesters

Stop calling them protesters. They are rioters. They are domestic terrorist. Protesting is gone you march in peace when you start burning down places you are no longer a protester. Your message is gone

I'm coming!! I am On My Way! I'm just so tired of our govt or people with power abusing it and harming the good of the many WeThePeople Want Change!

realDonaldTrump All you do is lay the blame on others. Real leaders take responsibility.

Enough...point was made.

Ya’ll just look dumb. This is doing nothing.

He also activated the Naitonal Guard to assist police after two days of violent demonstrations. A law enforcement source told The Times the Guard had been deployed and would be on the streets of L.A. by midnight. Retweet: Police and Military. You uphold your oath of office to defend the US Constitution or unlawfully execute orders given by tyrannts who have violated theirs. As in Nuremberg, 'I was just following [unlawful] orders' is not a defense to charges. Accountability! If crime is your nation in excuse?

California governor declares state of emergency in L.A. County, sends in National Guard'Whether you wear a badge or whether you hold a sign, I’m asking all of Los Angeles to take a deep breath and step back for a moment,' Mayor Garcetti said. Protests are erupting on a global scale. These people are our friends. Why are we not covering these events on network news? Garcetti is a great mayor (except for his handling of COVID...and the management of the homeless population). How dare nbc while filming organized looting bring on a commie liberal law professor telling us that this violence and looting is justified.
