How does this prove that your opinion jibes with all Americans (including the ones protesting) or even a majority?

How does the statement you quoted prove that most of the demonstrations are not peaceful?

What is your agenda

All under, what started as a peaceful protest!

All these protest in many instances have ended this way!

48 days and counting

18 years in the force; it was never like that. The militarization of the police is truly scary. Feels like Chile back in 1973 all over again.

 

Actually, in this case it's not the police but US paramilitary troops. And they weren't asked for by the local government.

No, I do not approve of violence. Do you approve of characterizing peaceful protests as violent?

"All these protest[sic] in Many instance." 

All or many?

Your deflection and constant badgering about your confusion over violence during many peaceful  protests has awarded you a spot on  my ignore list! Congratulations!

Ok! I'm telling you, as you seem to know how a WWII vet would respond to those wartime horrors. Please, tell me.

How would i know how a WW2 vet would respond to the use of flamethrowers?  The two WW2 vets that i'm related to didn't use one, to my knowledge.  Though flamethrowers were widely used by allied troops during WW2. 

You stated the following:

 

:blink: There is EVERYTHING questionable about using flamethrowers on ANY living creature ... ALWAYS!! under any and all administration. 

 

I'm suggesting that the WW2 vets that did use them may disagree with your statement.

He obviously isn't confused by anything but your deflections and bad language and he's not alone.

I think he used it as an excuse to avoid the issue of local control. The local government didn't ask for and doesn't want Federal law enforcement agents. In other words, he's not exactly a principled conservative.

And yet the local government don't want them there.

 

You be honest and stop pretending to know what people who disagree with you want. 


The local politicians are playing games with peoples lives and livelihoods and have hamstrung the police in every way, even releasing the terrorists to regroup the very next day. How many people have died as a direct result of the lawlessness of northwestern politicians over the last few weeks? CHAZ/CHOP/I-5 Roadblocks/Assaults and Robberies/Murder/Property Damage. 
 

And you show all your cards the minute you equate antifa to peaceful protesters and minimize their destruction, so I know all about how you’d think had the shoe been on the other foot.

Federal government agents have been detaining people in clear breach of their First Amendment rights.

I'm sure you're on top of all the legal ramification in the US while swinging in your hammock in Noosa, or are you just waiting to go back to Uni?

Can you believe this ,the minimizing of violence  that has accompanied peaceful protests!!!!! 

Jeepers creepers even when the left sees the msm report it  they aren't willing to accept it, don't you agree?

Are we denying peaceful protest,no!  

Minimizing or not, whatever violence is occurring doesn't justify disregarding the Constitution.

Nope. just posting a Rolling Stone article calling out the situation in Portland in relation to the OP; if you can factually dispute the content go for it. BTW don't have a hammock, but your inference is correct, Noosa is beautiful and peaceful.

This behaviour is very much reminiscent of that of thought police forces in countries like Russia, China, and others where free thought is not allowed.

And like that in Thailand. This happened during the coup. It also happened last month with on activist disappeared and presumed murdered at the hands of fascist royalists Thais.

Do tell why law enforcement used purposely lacks identification if they are acting within the law?


The big yellow “POLICE” patches and Department shoulder patches not enough?

 

Should they also politely ask antifa if the can be arrested too?
