In Miami, when protesters approached, the police officers knelt and asked for forgiveness. People began praying and crying.

Trump talking ANTIFA as if there is one coordinated group.


Not to mention that ANTIFA was already declared a terrorist group in 2017...

Declared?

Not officially. It was a petition on the We The People website.

Forgiveness?
They didn't do it!

Blaming all cops is like blaming me....a White, heterosexual, [Christian] male and any of my ilk in this forum, for slavery, civil rights discrimination etc.
Blame the cop/s who did it!
Blame the slave owners [there were also White slaves].
Because I refuse to take any responsibility for any of it.

Black people...burning down their own communities, including social housing under construction.
Black people...looting and smashing up stores owned by other Black people.
Not exactly wisdom.

Now, there's going to be a solidarity protest in Sydney this week.
My cops got caught by surprise in the 'Muslim riots' in Sydney in 2012, when people tried to smash their way into the US Consulate.
Blood flowing from the heads of cops.
They won't get caught again.
Civil unrest? Burning cop cars, burning buildings down?  Try that and there'll be drama to the max.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)

The antifa (/ænˈtiːfə, ˈæntiˌfɑː/)[1] movement in the United States is a militant[2] left-wing, anti-fascist political activist movement[8][12] which comprises autonomous activist groups that aim to achieve their political objectives through the use of direct action rather than through policy reform.[13][14][15] Activists engage in varied protest tactics, including digital activism, property damage, physical violence and harassment against those whom they identify as fascist, racist, or on the far-right.[23]

Individuals involved in the movement tend to hold anti-capitalist views,[24] and subscribe to a range of ideologies such as anarchism, communism, liberalism, social democracy and socialism.[30]

Yes, they did. Not this day or that way, but the Miami police have had a racism problem, as was pointed out in January and demonstrated in how the Miami police handled the beach crowds -- disproportionately arresting African-American beach-goers.

Your insistence that you know better than the police, themselves, is touching.

Because I refuse to take any responsibility for any of it.

Of course you do.

You haven't benefited in anyway from the efforts of minorities.

Not in any way you will admit to, at least.

Minneapolis cops don’t seem all that into the parade idea. Too many of their tear gas canisters were ready to expire and they want to get some use out of them.

Mostly old white men made America what it is today.

The good news for haters of old white men is that the old white men in the West won't be around very long in time.
The communist China will be ruling the world...and black, latino, and asian cops will be policing America.
According to US reporter to my radio station today most of the places where the riots are have Democrat mayors and are sanctuary cities.

The police union leader needs to go.
