No planning. If this is announced, the Very Fine People™ will be sure to descend on the city waving Antifa flags.
 

I've been watching a lot of Mission Impossible in the past few days (Ghost Protocol is good!) 
So I'd want Biden's folks to talk to the protest leaders to get confirmation that it's possible, and what a statement it'd make. With that green light, 
Joe takes to the airwaves and the streets clear like magic a few minutes later.

True, the VFP will try to take advantage of it, but the statement has already been made. Actually, coordinating with the Portland Mayor to vilify the VFP as they move in, and hopefully drive them back, would be a cherry on top. That implies the police would cooperate with that, which is an unknown to me.

Then, as Tom Cruise says,

one huge problem is that people won't trust them

there's so much horrific video out there now

i'm not just speaking about the followers, i'm talking about the blm/anti leaders too

expect it to be trotted out and played ad nauseum 

this could possibly turn a lay-up to win the election into a half court buzzer beater...

Paul told Fox News Channel he believes the group chanting his name and pushing against his impromptu police escort was paid to incite a riot. He did not say who he believes financially backed them or offer any evidence for his contention.

“I believe there are going to be people who were involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here and are not from Washington, D.C., and are sort of paid to be anarchists,” Paul said. “The FBI needs to investigate but the only way you can do it is you have to arrest people.”

What's this got to do with looting & vandalism?  :lol: 
seems to me it's peaceful protest?

 
This is true, just couldn't find a more appropriate thread near the top; will move it to there when I find one.

Second amendment remedies.

And folks are naive if they don't expect Trumpers (yes, this kid had a MAGA hat on his media) to eventually, but not now, take up arms to defend against an overreaching government.
But first, they'll let this overreaching government do whatever the fuck it wants.

Should force had been used, perhaps,
But 7 shots to the back? 
Something is out of sync

 

How three cops couldn't restrain one man when they had him on the ground on the passenger side of the car is beyond me.

One shot
would have sufficed. A taser would have been better.

There's still no statement from the police as to why the three cops were in a violent confrontation with Blake in the first place.

Personally, I'm fed up with the violence during these unplanned protests. But as Kyle Rittenhouse showed, you can't always blame the BLM protesters.
