Police and legal authorities always want to play leap frog over the police actions and blame anything violent that happens after outrageous/criminal action by police officers on the protestors. Lets start at the beginning . We need a new chant like
"THE VIOLENCE STARTS WITH THEM"
Police in Kenosha were looking early Wednesday for a man armed with a long gun after one person was killed and two others were injured during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake.

(3,741 posts)criminals, provocateurs, proud bois, white supremacists, now vigilantes ... so who gets the blame? BLM? The police should get the blame that's all I'm saying. I am not for nay form of violence an BLM is doing the proper non-violent movement. Things are escalating, as trump and RW'ers want and are in fact provoking. Hold them accountable for the violence they inflict and the mayhem they intend to dish out.

(19,981 posts)Obviously with a large crowd on the streets it's often hard to tell who's responsible for starting violence. I don't doubt that Donny's boys are staging some of it--with or without Donny's orders--so that Donny can pretend to be the "law and order" candidate who will put a stop to all that "Democrat" violence and get re-elected.
