I wasn't aware of this "Insurrection Act" before the last week. Its been used 19 times in the past by 11 president's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurrection_Act_of_1807

H W Bush used it TWICE. How was Trump merely threatening to use it worse than other presidents using it?

Or leadership. Make a couple (thousand) boneheaded tweets and all of a sudden you're a fascist.

Hyperbole is a two way street in today's society. Why do you call the right out on theirs and rationalize the left's?

I see a lot of apples and oranges comparisons in the article. George Floyd was killed after trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, What are the reason's for the police contacts of each of the unarmed deaths. Poverty also has a lot to do with Blacks being in a higher poverty, higher crime area. 20% of the black population lives in poverty, While 8.7% of whites.

You are touching on something that frequently gets left out of police statistics - that is what demographics are the biggest consumers of police services -

Minorities and the poor consume around 70% of all police services. That is based on routine calls for service and 911.

I used to jokingly tell people that 95% people I arrested or investigated for a 5 year period were black. That was literally because my patrol precinct was in the Neck area of the Charleston peninsula where next to zero white people lived.

I remember one time I had a loud noise call in a Section 8 housing project called Bayside Manor late at night. Some dude was in the parking lot blasting his car stereo and the residents were calling in on him. I rolled up and asked him to switch it off. As I was talking to him, he asked me if “this is some kind of profiling”.. I told him that if he could point out a white guy for me in Bayside at 1230 am I’d be happy to go check him out. We both laughed

There are clear lines between the modern day American Left and American Right.

88’s observation is correct. You nearly always defend one of them while claiming to be neither.

Your constant word salad about blurred lines notwithstanding

I’ve never pretended to be anything I’m not. I’m conservative. 88 makes the same observation I’ve made numerous times.

I enjoy your thoughts and appreciate classical liberalism. I’m just not all that obsessed with trying to define you and simply providing tit for tat.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes the best deterrent to insurrection is to let one run its course

And on that note....

Let’s see, today is a Friday, so I guess we’re on “cops shouldn’t have guns” until tomorrow, when we’ll be back to “only cops should have guns”

Defense plan for a couple officers from today's Strib.

“At all times Mr. Kueng and Mr. Lane turned their attention to that 19-year veteran,” Plunkett said. “[Kueng] was trying — they were trying to communicate that this situation needs to change direction.”

Charging documents show that Lane asked twice if they should roll Floyd onto his side and was rebuffed by Chauvin. Kueng took Floyd’s pulse and told his colleagues, “I couldn’t find one,” according to the criminal complaint.

Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for about two minutes after Kueng’s remarks, the charges state.

If I were a neonazi and wanted to screw up minority communities as much as possible with minimal effect to white neighborhoods, I'd advocate what these leftists are advocating.

How can people watch how people behave when they know the police are occupied and think these inner city places would be better off with fewer or no cops? : :dunce:
