DrCaleb DrCaleb: $1: U.S. Defence Secretary Mark Esper said Wednesday he opposes using military forces for law enforcement in containing current street protests. There's no need for the military to worry about street protests. But there sure as fuck is a need for the military to get involved in shutting down highly organized and well funded riots and acts of terror across the USA...that's what the military is for. And now that Antifa has been declared a terror group we need to hunt down and prosecute those people both foreign and domestic who are financing this shit and orchestrating it. And THAT is a job for the military.

Strutz Strutz: Any bets on how long it will be before he calls that photo op gassing fake news? And the winner is: Trump campaign demands story retractions on tear gas use$1: Donald Trump's 2020 campaign for the United States presidency sent emails to news organisations, including Al Jazeera, demanding corrections to articles describing security forces' use of tear gas on protesters to make room for the president so he could pose for photographs.
Police dispersed hundreds of demonstrators on Monday using gas and rubber-coated bullets in Lafayette Park, outside the White House, so Trump could walk to a nearby church and take pictures with a Bible.
As video and photos of the scene circulated on social media and caused outrage, the US Park Police sent a statement defending the action, saying officers used "smoke canisters" and "pepper balls" after "protesters became more combative".
It also said no tear gas was used in the incident.
"We now know through the US Park Police that neither they, nor any of their law enforcement partners, used tear gas to quell rising violence," Tim Murtaugh, the Trump 2020 campaign's communications director, said in a statement on Tuesday night.
"Every news organisation which reported the tear gas lie should immediately correct or retract its erroneous reporting."

Very true statement. IT WAS A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION seen on live TV as it happened.

$1: Some U.S. officials are blaming outside agitators for unrest. That tactic has a long history, experts say
Some U.S. officials have blamed so-called outside agitators for stoking unrest as nationwide demonstrations against police violence have ruptured America this week, and experts say those claims echo a decades-old tactic to dismiss and delegitimize protests.
The protests started in Minnesota where George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis on May 25 after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes. Some officials in the state were quick to blame outsiders for protest violence over the weekend.
"Our best estimate right now that I heard is about 20 per cent is what we think are Minnesotans and about 80 per cent are outside," said the state's governor, Tim Walz, at a press conference Saturday.
He didn't provide any proof. Similar assertions were made by the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul, though later St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said that he was given inaccurate information about the provenance of the protesters.
U.S. President Donald Trump also echoed Walz's statement on Twitter Saturday.
"80% of the RIOTERS in Minneapolis last night were from OUT OF STATE. They are harming businesses (especially African American small businesses), homes, and the community of good, hardworking Minneapolis residents who want peace, equality, and to provide for their families," said Trump in a tweet.
. . .
What arrest records show
Jeremy Zoss, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, whose jurisdiction takes in Minneapolis, provided numbers to CBC News on Tuesday showing that as of 12:30 p.m. CT, 544 people had been arrested in the county in relation to the protests. Of those, 446 were from Minnesota.
A total of 77 people arrested were from outside Minnesota, and 21 were listed as unknown. In other words, local residents made up the majority of those arrested.

My big WTF moment of the day: White Lives Matter is trending on Twitter, but it's been categorized as K-Pop.

There's no need for the military to worry about street protests. But there sure as fuck is a need for the military to get involved in shutting down highly organized and well funded riots and acts of terror across the USA...that's what the military is for. And now that Antifa has been declared a terror group we need to hunt down and prosecute those people both foreign and domestic who are financing this shit and orchestrating it. And THAT is a job for the military.  Cool. What're you doing with the proud boys pretending to be Antifa?

Public_Domain Public_Domain: BartSimpson BartSimpson: And now that Antifa has been declared a terror group we need to hunt down and prosecute those people both foreign and domestic who are financing this shit and orchestrating it. i'm donating to the bail funds, come and get me statist I doubt that paying bail for anyone will be a problem. Buying supplies for terrorists, paying for their transportation, and providing them with material assistance in their activities will surely cause law enforcement to come calling. But where you don't ever seem to do anything aside from post agitprop on the net I doubt that anyone will give a shit about you. And isn't that ironic? If the time comes when law enforcement cracks down on the real trouble makers your name will not be on that list.
