If these idiotic news media outlets would turn off the cameras off these thugs will no longer see themselves on camera.

Below are some facts that received either little or no airtime on national TV. No TV coverage of funerals... no interviews of family members...

A police chief was found fatally shot outside a St. Louis pawn shop that was looted after protests over the death of George Floyd turned violent. The officer was killed when he apparently tried to stop the looting of the shop.

A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer was critically wounded engaging with violent protesters outside the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Four cops were shot in St. Louis during demonstrations protesting George Floyd's death.

In Cincinnati, a police officer was struck in the helmet by a bullet during a confrontation with protesters.

Just last Saturday, two Tampa police officers, responding to a report of shots fired and possible gunshot victim, were injured Saturday after a crowd of hundreds surrounded the officers in an "ambush." A crowd of hundreds was at the scene when police arrived. As offices searched for a victim, the crowd blocked all four ends of the intersection. They surrounded officers, threw bottles and glass, and jumped on a police vehicle. “When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there."
INSURECTION is not an option! B LM are Nazis in disguise

Feel like its well past time to show all the sides of these protests. Cops should get their day too.

However, if you were to compare Blacks who have been killed by policemen throughout the US over this last century, I suspect THAT list would be WAAAY longer. Don't you?

I'm afraid the cable channels, like MSNBC/FOX, have to fill in hours and hours of so-called news. And, every next commentator seems to cover some of the same news that other tators have already defined.

I am a middle-of-the-road liberal. And I had to curtail MSNBC viewing to about 2 hours. I watch movies instead.

What's your point? We need more dead police officers?

When burning, looting and killing happen because of a protest, that's when their rights to protest end. They should be in JAIL.

They should be seen on camera makes it easier to identify them so as to whisk them off to jail.

I know someone posted the Tampa article. Here are a few more (below). I promise all were on the internet. I'm just too tired right now to find all the links.

It sure is nice of you to do the work of putting up those links.

Why & When did this turn from a Forum to a Court Of Law? Who has the rightful ability to put you on cross-examination? Why would I as a reader of your beautiful informative post question your sources? The time it takes to ask for proof from a poster could be used by the person asking for the proof to find the answer for themselves. It's just a person flexing their Internet Muscles.

I THINK as I have no PROOF that this is the kind of CULTURE that the BOSSES of TOTV'S is trying to curb.

The most important thing is the content of your post. Important to know and so frigging sad that it doesn't the victims don't get the proper coverage. You are well respect and I take your word for what you post. :icon_wink:

He said "little" or no air time. There was a little air time about each of the instances, but not to the extent of the looting and rioting, and George Floyd. True, George Floyd died, but so did the police officer in St. Louis who was known for working with underprivileged children, unlike Floyd who was a criminal.

Floyd (the criminal) received a better funeral than MLK. I thought a president had died when I was flipping channels and saw Floyd's funeral procession.

Amazing how a thug became a hero by doing absolutely nothing good.

BLM is a movement looking to gain power by any means necessary to advance their agenda, their words, we'll burn it down. If you believe they care anything about you or me, my words are lost on someone who has already drank the Kool Aid.

This is 100% about power. Why would they make you get on your knees and apologize for your white privilege, would you do this if face to face with the mob? I think you would. Me, too many of my family and friends gave their lives to protect us and I will not turn my back on them, or YOU. If you are too weak to defend yourself, I will.

Nope.

That's when the criminals doing the "burning/looting/killing"...should be caught and fully prosecuted.

Since when does this country advocate punishing and eliminating our protections under the COTUS for the whole...because of the actions of a few? :oops:

That's what Putin does (because of the lack of a Constitution...that protects citizen's rights).

Or did you mean to include that "when crimes are committed with firearms...the right to own guns end?"

Nahhh...I didn't think so. ;)

I agree that criminals who are doing looting/burning/killing should be prosecuted. :)

I've found that people are more receptive to a post that is informative and educational instead of combative. :boxing2:
