  1. Why did they do that in the first place ?? What where they protesting…. They did wrong yes.. but why where they upset

  2. This is a disgrace but you officers are not following the people’s 1, 2, and 4th. Amendment Rights. You bully innocent people SOMETIMES not 🚫 all the time. Also the present administration in the Whitehouse has NO RESPECT for our brothers in blue 💙. I hope and pray 🙏 for TRUE JUSTICE ♎⚖️ in America and that this horrific action will never happen again 😔

    1. I’ve got to disagree with you. We can protest but only peacefully. This could not be peacefully if they were doing this on the street. Everyone who is not a felon should have the right to keep and bear arms but not used for violence only to protect yourself and property. And I do not see an illegal search and seizure. What am I missing?

  3. Incident ? You mean attacking them. I’m so tired of the media cherry picking and making people think these people are spotless

  4. What do you expect? Where’s the backup? Why are they not arresting the people attacking them?

    It’s their own darn fault

  5. Coordinated criminal attacks BY OFFICERS on civilians needs to stop. So, does using this as an excuse for thuggery.🕊️☮️

  7. Oh by the way, you might want to take note of all the concrete roads being poured in your local neighborhood. Getting ready to support tank operations.

  8. Charge each terrorist that participated to the fullest extent of the law. This was no “incident”, this was a terrorist attack from radical thinking violent criminals. Leave it to USA Today to report the obvious inaccurately.

  9. What’s wrong with these people who do all the bickering and complaining but have no new ideas, no contribution that’s work from their ideology, no workable program and they just use their energies to break down society, disparage attempts to reform and improve police training, work to release dangerous criminals, and enable danger and mayhem in our city streets. This is an important start to getting policing right in our country. Show me one thing this liberal crowd has done to show their ideas work. Many vulnerable people living in cities are scared for our lives right now.. It’s a new reality that seems to be getting worse by the day.

  10. 2.8 millions subscribers for this channel yet a video about domestic terrorists doesn’t even get 5k views. Make it make sense.

  11. This wrong they should not be setting fires or throwing things at one another no person should endure such things.
