Why are people rioting in Kenosha over a suspect who had a knife and was grabbing for a gun when encountered by police (no negative replies)?

    Well, because it doesn't matter  if the cop is wrong or right, WE HAVE AN EXCUSE TO RIOT!

    As long as any excuse is present, we should push it.

    Especially if the mayor has pulled tight on the police's leash.

    Not to say that the suspect was in the right for dissing the cops, but is that punishable by death? Does that justify trying to extinguish someone's lifeforce? Cops are shooting people for dissing them. How does this make sense?  

    The cops lives aren't being threatened. They've got too much adrenaline flowing and it has to come out. I watched the video, I have eyes. 

    I agree that policing needs to look very, very different than it does now. AND I agree that black neighborhoods need to look very, very different too. The poverty is overwhelming. 

    I mean, think about the previous case of George Floyd started with him trying to spend a forged 20 dollar bill. He probably spent his last 3 dollars to buy that 20 bill. Where's the counterfeiter? He's the one that's taking advantage of his own people. George Floyd was his victim too.

    Why?  Because George Soros are paying people to riot and cause destruction for NO reason.

    He said he had a gun, but none was found (WI DOJ report released today). The fact he was already armed and threatening to grab a gun made him a threat. Where he was shot or how many times is irrelevant.

    Maybe they were looking for an excuse to start a riot.  Nobody wants to wait for the investigation to find out what happened, they just jump to conclusions and always assume the police are at fault.

    The Police shot him a close range, seven times in the back.

    Is that negative?  Oh, here's the positive side.  Oh, wait, there isn't a positive side.
