For those who may be interested regarding the recent shopping spree going on in Philly over a police shooting ...

I was made aware of this little bit of relevant info earlier today ... The reason that TASERS were not used is because the Philly police have very few if any due to budget cuts.  All's they have is their guns.  I am sure that someone here will correct me if this is wrong.

So much for defunding the police.  You can't have it both ways.

for reference, this is for just one retailer (Walgreens):

During the fiscal 2020, significant looting impacted certain stores with varying degrees of damage throughout the United States. As a result, the Company recognized $68 million charge during the fiscal 2020 for estimated store damage and inventory losses, net of insurance recoveries.

Who gives a fVk what Andy Ngo has to say?

And yet, here you are, with not just the image, but supporting documentation.

Credible doesn't mean useful to a faction in Congress, it means fit to be believed. It's an English (the language, not the nationality) thing.

I'd explain it in terms you'd understand better but my Russian is rusty.

If he were credible he'd have a source shown. You know, to prove it's not just made up.

Breitbart had a picture of a poster it claimed was for the event—which happened, BTW. You can read all about it here. Needless to say shit did not get fucked up.

The Moms United For Black Lives Facebook group is private so I can't tell if the image was posted there, but it has 11K members so perhaps you could use your epic tools of persuasion to get one of them to check for you. Or, you know, join.

It's not some random image off some rando webpage.  It comes from a known credible source.

Also - the poster is for today.  First posted online probably very recently.  I wouldn't imagine any image indexer has had the fortune to stumble upon it just yet, because indexing the online universe is not an instant thing, not even for Google.

You're welcome.

Funny, neither tineye nor a google reverse image search could find that image anywhere on the web. Good chance it's a fake. Wouldn't want you to fall for a hoax and spread disinformation!

You're welcome.

Inaction. Reaction.

Rot in hell, Seattle city council.

Seattle police officers quit force, slam 'socialist city council and their political agenda'

The Post Millennial has obtained over 175 pages of exit interviews from more than one hundred Seattle Police Department officers stating their reasons for leaving the force. This following a record setting exodus of officers from the force of over 118 officers in 2020, 39 officers in September alone.

The same comments, often expressing the same frustrations, can be seen repeatedly through the documents.

silly people whipped into a frenzy and initiating violence

ganging up on people and hurting them isn't a good idea

can't have anything nice

Accurate.  Good take.

Although, don't fall for "if Trump wins".... he WILL win, and it's only a matter of how many more states will turn red from the 2016 result.

The "if Trump wins" and 'Biden is leading in the polls' narrative is a desperate attempt by the activist liberal media that the left insists on continuing to consume after the same media have been shown to have lied to you, over and over since 2016, if not earlier.

An old and incomplete list. 

Does anyone remember them?  Hoax after hoax, the left continues to fall for every freaking one of them.  

And of course, the whole Russia gate thing was recently exposed as being promoted and approved by Hillary as a distraction for her email scandal.  fyi Her email crimes are still under investigation!

Democratic voters deserve better leaders and representatives than Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Schiff, Tlaib & Omar - their actions and words have supported the ongoing violence and anarchy in the streets.  No one seriously wants that.  This is one of the reasons Trump will win big in November.

And of course, the Republicans deserve a better leader than Trump too.  However, you have to admit - he's done what he promised to do and that in itself is a huge departure from politics as usual.  The Republicans are well ahead of the Democrats already in positioning their platform for 2024

i know you're in here jacking around

however, there's a lot of really ugly videos that most people (esp on the left) probably haven't seen

my concern is that this kind of behavior/video by blm/antifa could easily persuade people to vote in the other direction

outright threatening violence is a poor look regardless of which/whose kool-aid you're swilling

to win the election, you'll need the center/moderate votes and these radical nutters aren't helping

if trump wins, i think these people will deserve some of the credit/blame
