    From what I have read the officers didn't resign from the police force, they have just resigned from the Emergency Response Team. That makes more sense.

    A lot more sense.

    So less shit like violence and mishandling of justice can at least be curtailed.
    Just have all the units followed around with a camera crew from Cops.

    15 people have died so far in these "peaceful protests."

    Looks like at least 9 of them were black and most were killed by protesters. Did their lives matter too, time4fun?

    Have you see that AMC Cops show they got going on? I've seen dudes correct themselves on camera, mid-swing.

    Trump “It’s a great day for George Floyd!”

    How exactly is it a great day for George Floyd? he’s dead.

    Literal fake news:

    https://twitter.com/TeamTrump/status...052100608?s=20

    "Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race…Hopefully #GeorgeFloyd is looking down right now & saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country…in terms of equality"

    My boyfriend asked me the other day if I could think of a single situation where Trump demonstrated credible empathy or took responsibility for anything (vs credit). I honestly had no answer for him. Three and a half years, and I can't think of a single situation.

    I'm not saying you have to be a good person to be a good leader, but I honestly just don't think he's a good person. I think he's broken, and I don't think he's capable of things like empathy or remorse.

    That's what makes him so dangerous as a leader. Handing power over to people like that is a massive risk. And it doesn't often end well.

    You're like those people on Twitter who claim their 8 year olds ask them profound questions, except you use your boyfriend I guess.

    This is how fake news spreads though. The media puts out fake news, someone here repeats it, someone else corrects it almost immediately, and yet all people want to talk about is the fake news.

    Imagine if we had an honest media.

    But as always upon learning the media lied to them the far left will shrug, say "Fuck Trump!", and line up to be lied to yet again.
