This is the man elected to be President of the United States of America declaring that there will be extrajudicial killings of US citizens if they continue to protest.

Derek Chauvin has been taken into custody.

The media are reporting Derek Chauvin was "arrested," but his counsel said he was placed in protective custody.

And unsurprisingly, the attorney is full of crap:

"Derek Chauvin has been charged with murder and manslaughter," says the headline when you click through.

Are you assuming Trump equates looting with assembling?

It’s clear that whether you are looking at looting or assembling is contingent on the race of those in the streets for trump and his whole flock of poxy geese.

Actually I think the real question is whether Trump believes that shooting is the appropriate response to looting.  He seems to believe it is.

We saw Wednesday night who felt like looting

We saw last night who wanted to put their lives in danger, watch the beautiful flames amidst a gas leak

We see tonight who wants to fight the state police and militia.

Officer Tao could have saved George Floyd's life

With Tao still free, there is still a good reason for unrest.

Or being a Democrat.

I suspect with the arrest for murder of former officer Chauvin that there will be far fewer folks in the streets.

I love your careful commentary about the arrests of the CNN reporters for doing their jobs.

Verbal show of force.

Trump doesn't want national troops involved at all.  He is saying to the locals - handle it.  And this is what is now occurring.
