Hey kids. Did you know that not engaging in criminal activity reduces to practically zero your chance of being killed by a police office and greatly reduces your chance of being murdered overall?
Amazing isn't it?
Yes I know, it's unbelievable. Probably just extreme far right wing propaganda

The above completely fizzled out.
Although last evening one of the more crazy protesters decided to start spraying the area with gunfire. One dead, one injured.

After Voting to Abolish Cops, Minneapolis City Council Members Hire Private Security
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronsonstocking/2020/06/27/after-voting-to-abolish-cops-minneapolis-city-council-members-hire-private-police-n2571462

Quote
The Minneapolis city council is comprised of 12 Democratic-Farmer-Labor members and one Green Party of Minneapolis member. The three members provided private security are Andrea Jenkins, Phillipe Cunnigham, and Alondra Cano, all outspoken supporters of defunding the police. So these leftists hire muscle to protect themselves but abolish cops who protect everyone else. Something tells me the private security guards don't have graduate degrees in social work.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the level of stupidly involved here and just how massive of a tragic *expletive deleted*it pile all this could turn into. Social workers instead of police, what could go wrong?
Anyone care to guess what the murder, not to the mention the overall crime, rate is going to be?

Yes there are crooked cops.
Yes there are police depts that need reforming.
But what they're doing is like setting fire to your house because one of the rooms is in need of new wallpaper.

Our mayor has offered to pay, with tax payer's money of course, for any protester's personal belongings that was damaged while the city was clearing their tents and stuff from their little occupation downtown.

I may once again be a hypocrite, but I have a hard time calling out the cops, just as I would have a hard time calling out any other civilian, who escaped a violent mob by using their vehicle. I'm tired of being told that I should give myself to the mercy or the demands of people that are essentially kidnapping me. There should be a "Reginald Denny's Law" that protects people who want to get away from these nutjobs.

Yep. If I was in that position, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have used the brakes as much, and there would have probably been more casualties.

Just had a liberal tell me on Facebook that all the attacks on people in their cars from the crowds blocking freeways are “greatly exaggerated...it’s just a little beating on cars, vandalism and graffiti” and then start on the commie *expletive deleted*it about wealth inequality.

I don’t know what it is about the liberals that cause them to deny reality and accept fantasy but holy *expletive deleted*it they are all infected with it.

Much of their "reality" is based on other people's property being nothing more than a construct of capitalism. Property means nothing. That is, until you grab the $800 iPhone out of their hands and throw it on the ground.

Otherwise, "It's just a car." "That's what insurance is for." "Your property is repressive."

In their mind there's two kinds of property. Property of the people and their property.
If it's yours then it's property of the people.
If it's theirs it's theirs.

I can't remember where, but I once read some summary from the US commie party where they explained "property". Something like your home or car is not your property, but your phone, computer, or patchouli stash is.

Agreed. 

Looks to me like the officer got out of a potentially bad situation and went out of his way to avoid causing injuries.  If those idiots would not have jumped on his car or deliberately stood in front of the car, they wouldn't be at risk of injury.

Good to see people defending their property, but holy hell, those muzzles are everywhere. The woman looked like she was holding a drink instead of a gun.

Missouri Couple Points Guns At Protesters Marching Past Their Home

A couple in St. Louis is coming under fire on social media after images and videos showed them aiming guns at protesters who were marching past their home on a private road.

Footage showed the couple, one with a pistol and the other with what appeared to be a semiautomatic rifle, shouting at the protesters and waving the weapons around. At times, they appeared to be pointing the firearms toward the demonstrators.

I 100% guarntee that someone will share the Huffpo spin on my Facebook 5 times before anyone mentions "defending their home".

The way I heard it, stuff for your personal use is considered a possession.  Stuff used to make money is considered property.  So your computer is a possession if used for games, and property if used for a small business, or Bitcoin mining, etc.

Of course, it's all nonsense.
