How wonderfully encouraging that the so-called greatest democracy on earth is preparing to send it's own troops against its citizens on home soil.

Fascism.

No two ways about it.

The way things are going and the way he is, I wouldn't be surprised if it kicks off later on.

And GOP are silent.

If a non-NATO country was responding this way, they would be drawing up sanctions against said country as as we speak.

Let's continue the Hong Kong chat in the other thread as I think there's a lot to discuss there.

At least one Senator would like to see something like that

Tom Cotton@TomCottonAR
Anarchy, rioting, and looting needs to end tonight. If local law enforcement is overwhelmed and needs backup, let's see how tough these Antifa terrorists are when they're facing off with the 101st Airborne Division. We need to have zero tolerance for this destruction

Tom Cotton@TomCottonAR
And, if necessary, the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry—whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters.


If it's not a tax cut, it's military intervention.  It would be nice if the GOP wanted to push civility and unity and develop ideas with their fellow Americans, but that would be too sensical for this lot.

As with all things social media, images, videos and information and such has to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt, but I've seen an image of the so called 'national guard' all posing with the white power hand gesture.

Hopefully those guys know what they are doing. It's one thing to handle the situation. That they can do. It's something else to have lots of cameras watching their every move. They need to keep their calm here.

BREAKING: Independent autopsy finds that George Floyd's death "was homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain."


Wow, I'm absolutely shocked to find out that he didn't die due to a bad case of the hiccups, or whatever the first coroner said.

Someone needs to investigate the original coroners report. See if there was any justification for its statements and if the coroner has a history of adverse findings.

They are probably waiting for the secret service agent provocateurs in the crowd to start something so they can defend themselves.

So now the military police are moving in. Not sure if this is standard procedure. I don't believe the military police or the Secret Service want to see action here. But that latest move can be seen as provocative.

At least British policing is mostly still by consent and any show of force is an absolute last resort in most cases.
