MSNBC's Al Veshi Denies There Is Any Rioting, But Will Allow "Some Fires Have Been Started," Including the Inferno Behind Him

By the way, FoxNews is still calling these "protests."

The Fair and Balanced News Alternative, delivering the same pablum we get on MSNBC.

Clarification: I mean the shows controlled by the so-called "News Division," which is pretty much all of their programming except the "opinion" shows like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. Lord knows we don't see any opinions from Chris Wallace and Brett Baier.

That's where the corporate enforced censorship is occurring.

Karenpundit's favorite MSNBC host compared the arsonists, rioters, and looters to the American Revolutionary soldiers:

I think a lot of Americans really don't know how much the American Revolution was precipitated by the Crown's abuse of the policing power against the colonists. It was *central*, and often led to unrest, riots, tarring and feathering and the like.

When Fox finally shitcans Tucker, and it will happen, will be my last time to watch the network. In a way, as ace pointed out yesterday, Fox is more insidious than CNN and MSNBC because it pretends to be right-of-center and they are outfront with their leftism. I can't listen to my conservative talk radio station any longer because it carries Fox radio and it's even worse than what the shitwork became.

The unfair advantage is more comparable to big tech now than the riots.

112 Yes, the crown stood back and gave the Tea Partiers "room to riot", put their soldiers on stand down as patriots burned their own towns./s

The "crown" under Obama actually instigated and coordinated the "revolution" against local police departments. Holder overruled the locals, put Sharpton in command of stirring up strife, DNC coordinated with MSM to spread propaganda on Trayvon, handsUpDon'tShoot.

National Guard in Ferguson was put on stand down as riots took place, the store Gentle Giant Brown robbed was looted under their nose, as the Governor was in chats with Jarrett, coordinating the race riots and prosecution of the innocent cop. That was the old guard ... that "crown" is now The Resistance, still encamped inside the DC compound. Traitors one and all.

The KMSP 9 reporter expanded on that at the end of their 11 am newscast.

He said that Mayor Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Carter of Saint Paul both hemmed and hawed and would not ask for assistance at any location. The NG and Highway Patrol did respond to protests at the State Capitol and the Ramsey Government Center in SP, and the Hennepin County Center in Minneapolis.

They didn't ask for help with the looting and arson in Midway, Uptown, and Lake street / 3rd Precinct.

Actually no, because what other recourse did the colonists have? They couldn't vote against anyone make the rules. Plus, colonial riots specifically targeted crown assets and agents. They didn't riot and steal from Tom's bakery. One point made was the colonial riots were typically controlled events.

Burning buildings on campus is not peaceful. And evidence points to a reporter mistakenly firing off his revolver and causing the NG troops to fire. Disappointing their marksmanship was so bad.

BTW, I attended one of two universities that still had an ROTC building on campus because the peaceful protesters had burned the other ones down.

Talk about an egregious abuse of police power. The woman called into 911 about a possible sexual assault, had no criminal history, simply approached the police car, and was shot dead on the spot. No crime committed, no outstanding warrant, no resisting arrest to precipitate the police aggression. Yet no one referenced the American Revolution or called for protests because the innocent woman shot was white and the cop was a black somali immigrant.

Ellison basically telling rioters to concentrate their violence towards the police, but leave the National Guard alone, because they helped administer corona tests.

AG telling the protesters to attack the attack the police. This'll end well.

something else was going on.

Multiple cops grab this guy, and the according to reports the only suspected charge was passing a bogus $20 Bill? Which, by the way, is a FEDERAL crime, which is prosecuted by the Secret Service, not the local cops.

And some reports say the cop knew the perp.

266 This is the inversion: As far as I know, Minnesota is bluer than Michigan and is still on lockdown. So I will proceed with this assumption:

Plenty of people of all ethnicities are dutifully wearing masks and heeding opening rules--and the power of the state is compels them.

The head of the state is in place owing partly to the Black vote--who (likely) will not vote for another party. And it is the head of the state enforcing the lockdown who has determined himself the protector/benefactor of African Americans.

He is also not doing over much to shut down the "protests", however much violence and destruction of property is going on.

Some of the rioters are not observing the lockdown rules (why would they?).

But the white people cowed by the state "have all the power".

Yeah, right.

268 "No one has asked how many of the rioters actually live In Minnesota."

I'd guess the looters are local, the ones starting fires may be the inner sanctum of antifa (bused in, or flown in ... the VIP covert side of antifa), the ones paid to recruit and do the serious violence, covered up by the milder local "kids" to act as their buffer.

Absolutely.

These 'Protestors' are merely looking for a reason to 'Protest'. This guy's death means nothing to them. Their culture is one that celebrates 'Protesting'.

It was a night club, and supposedly they didn't meet, because the moonlighting MPD officers ran the door and outside security, and George and other non-police only did security inside the nightclub.

276 I've been wondering if what happened to Floyd was more one of obstinacy on behalf of the cop as a result of being admonished by "civilians" at the scene than it was keeping the suspect under control. Anyone else have this nagging impression?

I've been thinking that for the Asian cop who was keeping the crowd back. He's probably so used to all the yelling and hysterics that are part and parcel with arresting any person of a certain race he went into, "Turn off ears and keep people back" mode.

278 Based on reports that some (most?) of the rioters and arsonists were people who were from outside Minneapolis and were White, it occurred to me that this is being done on purpose.

Step 1: Push local police story into national news

Step 2: Push narrative of racism being the fundamental issue behind this incident

Step 3: Push narrative of systemic racism of police officers against Blacks to spark nationwide protests

Step 4: Send in antifa domestic terrorists to make it appear that Black community protests turned into Black community rioting

Step 5: Push narrative that Whites disagreeing with "Black community" rioting is more typical White racism and Whites siding with police officers

Step 6: Blacks, feeling betrayed once again, turn away from President Trump and White GOP and vote in droves for Democrats, eliminating Black community movement of support for President Trump and GOP.

Unfortunately, we will not know for another 5+ months if Step 6 comes to fruition...

321 This is what pisses me off about peoples' acceptance and cheering for the riots... This is not a systemic problem rooted in ANYthing, much less racism. It's ONE overzealous cop in MN. It's ONE overzealous wannabe cop in GA.

WHY DO WE ALWAYS ACCEPT THE PREMISE THAT ONE INSTANCE HERE OR THERE DEFINES A "MOVEMENT"?

I could easily do the same:

- Black people can't be trusted to be in nursing homes, because I saw a video of a black kid punching out an elderly man.

- Black people can't be allowed to ride subways because I saw video of a young black man robbing people on the train.

- Hispanics can't be trusted to tell the truth because I know a guy who knew a hispanic guy who falsified his tax returns to get credit for kids he never had.

NO ONE I KNOW suggested in any way that the MN cop was justified in kneeling on that man until he passed out. Yet I keep seeing stupid, sophomoric memes about "this is why you have Kaepernick" or "this is what privilege is."

Eh, anyone can file a complaint against a cop. Two of the previous complaints resulted in a punishment, all the other ones did not.

It's possible all of the complaints had merit. It's also possible Floyd just arrested a bunch of people who make complaints against the cops who arrest them as a matter of course.

This was caused by a failure of the Local government to protect its citizens from its own Police.

To fix a problem, the first thing you must do is identify it. If YOU are the problem, then you must admit it to yourself.

384 "The mayor's reply? Rambling nonsense. Not a single identifiable concrete action or plan, nothing."

the arrest is at least an indicator there will be justice, but the arrest could have been quicker, and a strong response from the mayor and police chief would have sent that signal from the first hour, even if the arrest took a day or three (but in this case, not sure it should have taken so long).

A strong response of acocuntability, along with a strong police presence to stop all looting and rioting, was demanded. "Room to Riot" so the "black community" can blow off steam, is insane policy. And I think the real motivation is more Holder/Sharpton-esque ... stir up racial strife ... chaos is their friend.

Or maybe they are so racist they think burning and pillaging will placate the mobs ... (which are being led by Soros funded antifa thugs?)

And he differentiated it between apprehending someone at the scene and doing an investigation to see if there is a crime to prosecute. There are protocols for officer involved shootings and they were strictly following the protocol.

This is what weasels do. Hide behind protocols. Everyone in the country saw a murder take place. And inaction may have been the spark for the riots.

Pres Trump to hold Rose Garden news conference at 2PM/ET. WH officials says he'll be announcing steps in response to China's mishandling of the Coronavirus outbreak and it's imposition of new controls over Hong Kong.

>>And he differentiated it between apprehending someone at the scene and doing an investigation to see if there is a crime to prosecute. There are protocols for officer involved shootings and they were strictly following the protocol.

I'm pretty certain that if they caught me kneeling on a cop throat until he died they would arrest me at the scene if they hadn't already shot me to death.

This was a hit job by another faction of the Democrats.

He was one of the officers that responded to a man with a knife stabbing others. The police show up and he was too crazy or too stupid or too drugged up to drop the knife, so when he turned towards them, he got shot.

I'm not Trump.

But my approach would be to say very loudly and publicly, that MN unraveled it's OWN society and it's not up to the broad mass of the American people, its soldiers, or its Treasury to haul their little chestnuts out of the fire, and that they are completely on their own.

A half-century of Democrat rule surely MUST have produced a leadership class in Minnesota capable of meeting the moment, quelling the unrest, restoring order to the streets and to their corrupt law enforcement, and then fixing the damage, no?

I mean, it's not a natural disaster. It's a man-made one. Democrats made it, and Democrats will fix it.

And if they can't then maybe it's time for Minnesotans to reconsider their voting pattern.

That would be my approach and I'd make sure to say it daily, and repeat for any other Dem-run shithole.

George Floyd maybe, MAYBE did something that required he be taken down and subdued, but I didn't see anything in the video that has been released so far.

Whatever it was did not justify the cop's knee across his throat for over seven minutes until he was dead.

He was dead already when they flopped him into the stretcher. The EMT reports say he had no pulse when they checked it several times at the scene. He was declared dead at the hospital, probably because SOP says only the hospital doctor can declare death.

Here is my point: there is a difference between attacking businesses and attacking people's houses, both substantively and psychologically.

Storefronts, you are burning down some the business of some rich guy (even though the guy could be standing right there weeping because he is losing everything.)

Going to the suburbs and torching houses? You are crossing a very big bright line there. Now you are threatening peoples lives and their kid's lives- not because of any immediate threat, but because you are pissed at what some asshole did to a guy you never met.

464 an arrest is not an indictment ... idk cop protocol, but sure seems they could have held him and then explained indictments might take time.

Ferguson case, the governor was promising an indictment of the cop, not promising a grand jury or arrest. But the riots were still being coordinated, seemingly right out of DC. The AG (or was it Lt Gov?) was at odds with the Governor ... who was coordinating the National Guard stand down ... Riot and Looting is part of the DNC goon division (antifa/blm/soros) play book, with public officials playing their stand down role.

But having seen any number of ~~riots~~ peaceful protests of law-abiding citizens, I find it easy to believe.

I think zombie will bear me out on this: one of the classic tactics of the Reds is to stir up some shit, oftentimes have some women in the front of the mob, and then someone just behind the front rank does something to provoke the police (e.g., throw a brick or a bottle) in hopes that the cops will start busting heads.

Posted by: Romeo13 at May 29, 2020 01:45 PM

Yep, I think this is a very important step that needs to be taken right now.

Because if it was antifa rioting, but the general public does not know that and starts blaming the general Black community, that will piss off the general Black community which is protesting.

That said, I think the looting and such was done by "protesters", before antifa even came on the scene and turned looting into rioting and arson.

So the looters take blame as well for turning a valid protest into a cluster...

He spoke of the Central Park woman calling 911, nailing her with the same racist tag he did the Covington kids. The Central Park story when you dig into it, has the African-American asshole as the attacker, having offered treats to her off-leash dog, and saying with a sly grin, "and you won't like the result."

I think that's all the video shows. If he would have said "Ya damn right" to "You're going to kill him", they could easily prove pre-meditated.

But what you see on his face and in his actions is indifference.

However, if their work relationship played some role in it, then they might have motive, which is not indifference.

But, it's hard to think how the video would have shown that.

You're wrong as usual.

Different goods and services. We can probably get away with it.

I just searched the US Patent and Trademark database.

"The Gentle Giant" only shows up once, in an abandoned application for a trademark by UK Crew, LLC, attempting to TM the entire phrase: "The Gentle Giant Gardening Tools".

So, ya'll are in luck.

However, "Gentle Giant" shows up in 196 patent/trademark applications, about half of which are considered "dead" applications.

So, the word "The" seems to have quite a lot of importance.

624 Back of the neck or the throat? You guys are going to make me watch the video.

Posted by: Kilroy wasn't here

Do yourself a favor and don't watch the video. The cop looks like he's got about 2 brain cells to rub together, and the victim begs for his life and it's hard to watch.

Cop was kneeling with his full weight on Floyd's neck, and Floyd had his head turned to the side 90 degrees, so the cop was kneeling pretty much on the side of his neck/windpipe.

626 Are white Antifa scum running riot with black people who have called for whites to be killed.

627 CNN HQ in Atlanta getting overrun by leftist protesters that they themselves whipped into a frenzy.

Many are defacing and vandalizing the giant CNN logo outside the building.

You're watching Dr. Frankenstein get destroyed by his own monster.
