I see the hashtag #BunkerTrump trending on Twitter... This is really going to be bad for these rioters because Trumps base will demand swift action being taken!
I got a feeling we are going to start to see some rioters seriously fucked up in the coming days, Trump is already talking about long jail sentences for anyone involved in these protests and I think things are just about at the tipping point where it will be check mate for these rioters as many cities are working to box in protestors to haul them all off to jail rather than trying to herd them out of the cities. I think this is because they are finding that trying to herd the protestors, who eventually become rioters, only serves to destroy whatever area they are driven to so it makes more sense for them to impose very early curfews and round them all up for violations of said curfews. It has gotten to the point where local towns and cities aren't even playing around and mobilizing large groups of police and reserves. Many are also placing snipers on the rooftops to ensure things do not get out of hand. I have no doubts that surveillance, especially in DC around the White House is being utilized and perfected.
The honest truth here is that we have a pandemic, record unemployment and many people are low on money and food. If you add in the George Floyd situation it's like the spark to the powder keg! I don't see how this has any other ending except for a serious-serious crackdown that will see even more people killed as this situation spirals out of control. It is spiraling out of control because these protesters are being handled with the same kid gloves that Obama used with them. If Trump does not crack down HARD then we can expect for these riots and looting to continue all throughout the trial and perhaps again should the officer be found not guilty. In other words, if something profound does not happen soon to send a message to these protesters that they don't have the right to burn down churches, loot stores and otherwise vandalize property then all we will see from now to election day will be the same as what we have seen the past few days.
I don't think Trump has much of a choice, it would appear that the self described "People of color" have gone to war with America and Civil War #2 may already be upon us this very moment. It's a sad day that liberals have thrown such a temper tantrum the past three years and this is really just the icing on the cake for them as it's already been widely known that Democrats seem to enjoy it when the USA is in chaos and ruins. There are now two classes of people, the people are vested and want law and order (the most likely people to vote by the way) and the people who simply want to destroy everything.
It's a good thing they let a bunch of people out of jail because a whole lot more are about to be going back!

Holy ballz, did you see the semi tanker that came barreling into a crowd of 6000 people on the bridge here in MN.
The crowd was on that truck like stink on shit and they roughed up that white driver a bit before turning him over to the police. With all of the knives that were at the ready to slash the tires as it moved, it's amazing one of those knives didn't find a place in the driver.
Meanwhile, Joe biden visited the protest site where he was welcomed by the protesters and had discussions with many of the people there.
Trump may want to just continue hiding in the bunker because there aren't enough white conservative people left on the planet to go up against what seems to be brewing.

The mob on the MN bridge looked like something out of the Walking Dead! Like 6,000 zombies! Not even kidding! One has to wonder if a lot of problems would have been solved if that tanker went up, because IIRC they have found the driver not at fault and the protesters had no right to block traffic anyway.
Biden blending with the protesters just tells most Americans that he is part of the problem and not the solution. Biden is more or less the ringleader of these riots and if you think these small showings in the cities are reflective of a majority of the electorate I have some really bad news for you and all the protesters - Trump is going to win in 2020!
The protesters have no right to loot and burn what is not theirs, and your party supporting this kind of recklessness just reminds everyone of what they can expect should a Democrat win in ANY election!
As much as it all bothers me out party couldn't ask for a better endorsement!

Yeah supposedly the driver didn't know the road was closed because he was already on it before the barricades went up.
Protesting isn't the problem Rex, institutional racism in the police departments across this country is the problem. Once that issue is fixed, the protests will stop.
As a white dude I feel the only problem with racism is coming from the people who complain most about it! People of color (as they have now labeled themselves) are just as racist as anyone else! In fact I feel like we are entering an era of reverse racism where POC think they should be treated differently than others because the color of their skin! Being part of the solution would be letting these people know that they are no better than anyone else!
And I should add that black people choosing to call themselves "people of color" is only being done to enlist anyone who is not white to join their crusade. If you long for chaos and destruction they have an open cell for you in a jail somewhere and that is exactly where unlawful protesters who resort to violence, looting, rioting and burning down churches will be sent.
If you really wanted to be part of the solution you would be condemning these violent protest! But you're not! You are just trying to incite more hate and fan the flames!

Yep, black & white aren't colors, they're shades.

You have seen my pic and know I'm white. The difference is I have this thing called imagination. With it, I'm able to imagine the plight of people who are in a different circumstance than myself.
You see that is your problem, many black people are convinced you could never imagine their plight.. They think you just get everything handed to you, and maybe you do!
But that is not the case for me, and I don't try and imagine anything outside of what reality is. For someone who claims to be logic driven you sure spend a lot of time in make believe land!
Imagine everyone just minding their own business! Now that would be something!

Seems to me all you have to do is think about yourself anyway, but you want to pretend that you care... just not enough to have to support a family though...
How is demanding due process and the right to a fair trial make me a racist?
What are you really doing for other people PowerStroker? Besides just "thinking" about them?
I do things for people all the time, some of whom aren't even my family! I could get into gender and race specifics but why? I didn't do the things I did for people for any special recognition from others, I did it because I do more than just "think" about people. I do what I can, when I can and that is a hell of a lot more than people just "thinking" about it.

Call yourself whatever you want. George Floyd and countless other African American men were denied due process and the right to a fair trial, yet you seem more concerned with property damage than murder.
And you really need to ask why I don't want to bring any more children in to this world, amazing.
Hold on there for just one minute PowerStroker! Are you suggesting that Floyd was placed under arrest and put into the squad car without any resistance!? Is that what you are suggesting?
I just want to be clear before moving forward because I know how your imagination likes to run wild sometimes..

Even if he did resist, it did not warrant an execution. Resisting arrest, like passing a fake $20 bill is not a capital offense. Murder is, and the officers involved may well find that out.
You are aware that this officer has qualified immunity and that is a VERY hard bar to meet!
I am not saying it's fair, just that this could end up turning out much different than what people are expecting.. especially if more unflattering details come out.

No one knows it's murder yet. U tube video condemns him? I saw another video (there are a few). Very odd. Little to no people around. When the ambulance came the "paramedics" loaded Floyd in the wambulance were cops! Uniforms, bullet proof vests, guns. This could have easily been staged to promote riots. False flag, ever heard of them? Wait for the facts.
