Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

I agree this is going to be a problematic prosecution. For a lot of reasons. And that coroner's report won't help the prosecution much.

And that begins an entirely new set of problems because so many people don't understand how the legal system works in terms of developing a case and proving an offense beyond a reasonable doubt. So when murder isn't charged, or it is and there's no conviction, cries of corruption and racism start all over again. And of course it's bullshit, but that's all the uneducated (in how the legal process works) can fall back to.

After the Michael Brown shooting how many people that called for the officer's head apologized when it was proven that Brown pretty much deserved to be shot? Nobody. Never happens. People just fall back to victimhood because it's what they know and you don't have to prove anything to anyone to be a victim of society.

Yep.

Nothing says ?agent provocateur? like the guy that smashed the windows at autozone to start the riot.

God, I can’t even read this thread.

This makes me wonder how many right wing conservatives are being played by the media the same way the left is.

Damn. About the only thing that has changed since 1963 is that there are no more conservative Democrats.

Denver protests are winding up again, Handcock grew a pair- 2000 to 0500 curfew.

Might be interesting.

Apparently Der Fuhrer Polis activated the National Guard, too. Just out of curiosity, since this is not due to the current ?state of emergency? he keeps declaring, did he have to declare a super emergency (or maybe a ?nation of emergency??) to activate the Guard?

[Sarcasm2]

Seriously though, we seem to be in a constant ?state of emergency?. Seems like riots and a temporary curfew in a limited area is actually what the governor?s emergency powers were envisioned for.

Meh,
It will have no teeth, just like the curfew in Minneapolis had no enforcement.

We need riot control like back in the 60s & 70s, then these punks would think twice before vandalizing and burning innocent hard working people?s businesses & property.

If they got out of hand, break out the water cannons, bust some heads with billy clubs and loose the hounds. Now that would clear out the crowds.

2 federal officers guarding a building during protests in Oakland were shot, 1 of whom died. They didn?t contact anyone, struggle with anyone, make racist remarks, just trying to make their neighborhood safe. I wonder when the national protests will be for them?
