50 largest cities; rioting seems to be pretty much in the cities where the mayors are Dems. Coincidence?

No coincidence, DEMS are weak ass leaders

Twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.

Holy Shit! I thought maybe you were making some sort of joke.

Yes, we’ve been over it a few times. Not a bad thing to show again though.

As well as every riot beginning with a "peaceful" protests. Seems the media this morning is trying their darndest to separate the protests from the rioting, though it doesn't seem like one exists without the other.

I doubt any conservatives in the various groups however the press will never make that statement.

No, but they'll compare peaceful demonstrations where the protesters are armed with guns to the mobs of rioters and looters and say that the armed are the more dangerous ones.

I have a paintball gun. Paintball doesn't flash. Paintball uses compressed air. That was a flash and report. Rewatch the video. Those do look like police uniforms but wasn't that a Humvee in desert camo at the very beginning?

Who knows what military equipment the police have these days. The poster of the video says NG and police, the CBSN Minneapolis news post says police fired paint balls.The video posted in this thread is cut short. A few seconds longer version shows one of the porch dwellers was hit with a paint ball.

The question is WHY??? Just sitting on their porch or was there more? Curfew in effect??

Not all marking rounds are propelled by compressed air.

As for the HMMWV, many LE agencies have them as part of the 1033 program. How else do you think Odessa Sheriff’s Dept got their MRAP for Meal Team 6.

I saw the first post by Tanya Kerssen and the end where the individual is clearly wiping something off his coat was not included.

The Chinese Communist Party must be creaming themselves with delight at Americans shooting at Americans.

Think this is still about George Floyd?

This article says the curfew states people can’t be in a public place. I wish I could find the order itself, but I haven’t been able to find it on the city or state website.

https://kttc.com/2020/05/29/minneapolis-mayor-imposes-curfew-for-friday-saturday/

That being said, standing on my front porch is not occupying a public place. The paint markers now identify the location of someone who can be identified and investigated for having violated the curfew, which in that video is not the case.

That’s why I have no qualms with returning fire in that scenario.
