Looters and arsonists are criminals, not protesters

IS RIOTING NOW PART OF  21ST CENTURY POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS

INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE VIOLENT ACTORS ARE PART OF A  PREMEDITATED ORGANIZED EFFORT

While we see left wing politicians and much of media declare that people just need to be able to vent their frustrations by looting, burning and rioting, the reality is these are just plain old criminal acts by criminals. The criminal elements took over the protests so fast that it is clear these riots are organized and their tactics rehearsed in readiness of an opportunity.  These elements infiltrate the legitimate and peaceful protesters, often throwing objects at police from behind the protesters in the hope that the police can be provoked into violent action. The media is only hoping that they can capture some violent response from the police and edit the footage to make it look like a one sided event.

We can expect this activity to continue from now until election day, in a hope to arouse the minority vote to vote against Donald Trump, who they are already attempting to blame for this violence. This is very reminiscent of the past presidential election when we saw the stoking of unrest by the media and the democrats with the stories of police brutality and racism applied to every event that could be dredged up. NBC news went as far as to alter the 911 call in the Trayvon Martin case. They put up the false narrative of "Hands up don't shoot", in the Michael Brown case. When examined by a jury, all defendants were acquitted by the testimony of the witnesses, but the stories still live on as some disgusting false reality.

While at first observation of the case in question it appears to be a cut and dried case of police brutality. After watching other video clips, one must wonder what was going on in this confrontation. While kneeling on somebodies neck is not an acceptable tactic, are we being played again by offering the public only a part of the story and will many be again disappointed when all the investigation and testimony is revealed.

It is now the political season and everyone and everything is fair game to gain political advantage.

The losers are those killed and hurt and the economic disaster for the businesses and people of these cities. Many of these cities will witness another flight of people from these cities, leaving them devastated and in a worse economic condition.

There will not be any positive result gained by this rioting,looting and burning. It is another setback for race relations. It cements the stereotypes that many have attempted overcome of the behavior of the minority community. While many attempt to portray this rioting a legitimate response to an unjust action, it is not. There will be no winners from this, not even the political opportunists.
