    People had literally burned down police stations and mass looting was occurring. Their police force was completely overrun. Don’t act like it was remotely the same thing.

    I have several friends in Minneapolis that are very progressive. There were tons of people who were legit scared during periods of that for numerous reasons. It wasn’t “acceptable,” but what the fuck else do you do when law and order begins to completely breakdown?

      if it isn’t acceptable it isn’t acceptable period. “this was the only way” literally means that you think it was acceptable.

        I put it in quotes because I wasn’t meaning it to be so exact.

        But whatever, I’m done arguing with enlightened centrists.

          So you do think the kidnapping off the streets into unmarked vans by the military was somewhat acceptable when the democrats called for it? At least have the gut to come out and say it
