Black Lives Matter/George Floyd protest in downtown L.A. turns violent

40 million unemployed, 100 000 dead, stock market crashed, riots across the country, and our president is complaining on twitter, about twitter. Such leadership. Such wow.

Fixing violence with violence. The cycle.

Dozens of people loot the Target store near Minneapolis Police's 3rd Precinct building in the midst of the George Floyd protest.

Trying to out criminal the other side.

They weren't cops.

Don't fall for it.

Both sides have gone bonkers. Looting a store doesn't help the cause of lawfulness.

Simple psychology
It's a fight or flight response. If they can simply choke out 1 person publicly then society is threatened. They have to have a pretty good PR reason to control that rage of having an existential breakdown.

Police start shooting press with some kinda rubber bullets

In Mitch's state.

Shortly before 10 p.m., a reporter and photojournalist for Louisville-based station WAVE-TV appeared to be intentionally targeted by police with rubber bullets during the protest. It is unclear based on several viral videos of the incident why police fired on the reporters there.

The Radio Television Digital News Association released a statement following Friday's incident in Louisville.

"Journalists’ job is to show the world what’s happening in our communities," the statement read. "Local reporter Kaitlin Rust keeps reporting even while being targeted by police, and viewers at home stare down the barrel of a police weapon."

Because the president encourages negativity toward the press and sometimes the truth hurts the police.

I bet Trump didn't see this coming. Is he hiding under a bed?
