I hope the powers that be let the cops do what needs to be done. Turn on loose with every bit of non-lethal they have, I guarantee you those lowlifes will learn a valuable lesson.
Those cops wouldn’t know what non lethal force was if it stepped on their neck for nine minutes straight.
They killed someone who was defending themselves from a two sided ambush. You’re just as guilty.
Da cop did da correct thing! ❤
That’s crazy
Seemed like a heated debate. No police were hurt.
But they still felt the need to clarify it was “very violent.” What babies.
I did not see a single mother at a school board meeting in that clip: So according to your president, the DOJ and the FBI those are not terrorists.
This is why I could never work in law enforcement. Landscraping I like, on full auto.
Great work by demonstrators
Police are bound to get this
But since it’s Atlanta, they’ll all have their charges dismissed by a Democrat judge after completing 10 hours of community service. 😐
Explosion
ppl are getting real about things. better start critical thinking man lol.
BS that this is considered domestic terrorism but blowing up actual power grids was “vandalism”
FTP
Domestic terrorists not protesters.
They shot and killed someone. Coulda been you. Hide .
protejense sus vidas. no hay precios uds son personas inportantes y los covardes terroristas no valen nada ellos solo cometen crime x y asaltos novienen atrabajar sino arobar.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH CONTINUES!!
Roast that bacon!
Maybe a android video game type platform could be used to avoid voilence like this , By being able to protest ect in the virtual world , and it could be geographicly correct , and people could chose from custom protest signs pepper spray ect , and pople could voice their opion and no one would get hurt , and the police could play as police . 🤔
Bro you need to go outside if you think thats a good idea. The point of a protest is to cause trouble. No one is going to listen to your cause if you’re not making a big deal out of it. People *always* get hurt for progress. You know how they say regulations were written in blood? So is progress.
