The Seattle Police using mace in the faces of young children with their moms passing through protest zones to get home is what set off CHOP.
With the lawsuits, the police are defunding themselves.

Well a good lesson is to not take your young children through a protest riot zone.The Seattle Police using mace in the faces of young children with their moms passing through protest zones to get home is what set off CHOP.

Liz Cheney said his idea was ludicrous, and that she has lost respect for him. His claims to be a born-again Christian should be the antithesis of what Trump says and does, but it's not.
Speaker Mike Johnson says he's blurring Jan. 6 footage so rioters don't get charged
"We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.www.nbcnews.com
“Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that House Republicans are blurring footage from the Capitol attack before releasing it publicly because they don't want Jan. 6 rioters to be charged with crimes.”
I wonder why. Why would Mike Johnson not want people who committed crimes to be prosecuted for those crimes? Why?
Johnson claims he wants transparency, but obviously not.
And this just begs the question how and why a clear majority of those in the "religious right" can support the likes of Trump, especially with what Trump persistently says and also what he did to set up January 6th?

Don't give the police a reason for excessive force.
And no. Compensation is not warranted for troublemakers.
Simple no?
It wasn't a riot.
Panel: Seattle police should apologize for protest violence
A panel of police, citizens and accountability experts has concluded that the Seattle Police Department should “offer a sincere, public apology” for its violent response to people demonstrating after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The Seattle Times reports that the panel found...
The response by the Seattle Police Department towards the George Floyd protesters was so incommensurately brutal that the people started protesting the police brutality by the Seattle PD. Even the Washington State Patrol recognized what was going on and closed down part of the freeway so people could protest there without being brutalized by the SPD--until some yahoo snuck onto the closed section of freeway in his car and plowed his car into the group of peaceful protesters. Then they had to go back to the SPD territory to protest. The Mayor instructed the SPD not to use tear gas on the protesters, but they did anyway, and by that time, just about everyone saw the problem within the SPD, and it escalated to CHOP from there.

And the further question is why would he not be charged with being an accessory after the fact for doing so?
An accessory-after-the-fact is someone who assists 1) someone who has committed a crime, 2) after the person has committed the crime, 3) with knowledge that the person committed the crime, and 4) with the intent to help the person avoid arrest or punishment. An accessory after the fact may be held liable for, among other things, obstruction of justice.
I suspect on purpose.

How does peaceful come with such a high price tag....
The George Floyd riots/protests cost more than any other civil disorder in history. The price tag was $1-2 billion insured damages nationally.

Well, police misconduct has consequences. The Rodney King beating, and exonerations of the officers, led to another massive civilian response. I'm not condoning the violence, rather pointing out how important police professionalism is required for civic order. To protect and serve.How does peaceful come with such a high price tag....

I love it. Great reasoning. Do you happen to know the definition of "excessive"? Because this sentence is like a perfect self-contained joke. Literally, that which is EXCESSIVE means that, by definition, it is MORE THAN IS REASONABLE. So, by definition, you cannot "give someone a REASON to be EXCESSIVE".
I love you, TH. You give me so much joy.
They were protesters. And "being troublemakers" doesn't give the police the right to use EXCESSIVE force. That's literally the definition of the term.
In your world, apparently the right to protest doesn't exist and there is no such thing as excessive police violence. If you do literally anything, police can mace you, beat you and kettle you in.
Great stuff. Such a warrior for freedom and democracy you are.
And, I mean, it really bears repeating:
"Don't give police a REASON to use EXCESSIVE force."
I mean, can anyone come up with a more perfectly ironic/contradictory statement that has ever been stated - without intentional irony - on these forums?

You know what they say.
Don't hang out with the wrong crowd.
Common sense , which obviously some people don't have.

No, clearly, you are correct. Excessive police violence is totally warranted. No irony in that statement whatsoever. And protests about subjects you don't agree with ought to be violently oppressed with excessive force. They totally deserve it for exercising their freedom of speech.
Love you.

It's just typical grandstanding and deliberate misdirection by republicans in Congress. The DOJ has already identified everyone involved and has filed charges against those it intends to. And no one else is intent on any "retaliation". But the republicans want to make the perps look like the victims, so they're pretending someone is "after them".
Are you going to say that to the police who don't commit brutal acts? Are they hanging out with the wrong crowd (those who wear the uniform and commit brutal acts?) Is it common sense that the good police leave the forces? No wonder there is such a shortage of police all over the country!

Yup. It's already out their and they can't undo what has been done and already out their. This is just to play into their narrative that Jan 6th was a peaceful protest and they're the good guys.

So basically an empty gesture for the ignorant to hold up and claim 'see, they want to protect us'?
