Yes! The police are overrun with right wingers. With competent policing, this would have been just an ordinary protest.
Everyone needs to ignore the mob and look at the cops. That's where the story is.
- mistermann 6y agoThe right wing racist meme is one possible explanation, but not the only one. I say let's see if any journalists have any curiosity and do some investigation, or if we instead just get a coordinated full court press of the right wing racist narrative.
- Ericson2314 6y agoRight now the full court press, if any, is the centrists agape at trumpists and bemoaning the collapse of norms. I see a lot of "gross hoi polloi" vs "those decent bipartisans who will restore the good old times". That's not investigating the cops either. That's self-serving uncritical thinking looking at the outcome and ignoring what we know about the inputs.
- mhh__ 6y agoI think that's basically true of the all the triple letters too - partly why the idea that the FBI investigating the trump's being a liberal stitch-up is so vacuous.
- disgrunt 6y agoLet's go with that theory. Did these right wing cops help the right wing cause by allowing this incident to get out of hand?
