Uncle Joe commemorates the 6th anniversary of Big Mike's " murder " in Ferguson. Kamala & Lizzy tweet along.

@JoeBiden· Aug 9
It's been six years since Michael Brown's life was taken in Ferguson — reigniting a movement.
We must continue the work of tackling systemic racism and reforming policing.
Obama's Justice Department found that there was no credible evidence to support the claim that the white officer, Darren Wilson, had done anything illegal when he shot and killed Brown. Rather, its independent investigation found Wilson had acted in self-defense.
So, why release a statement on the sixth anniversary of the justifiable shooting death of Brown and tie it to “systemic racism and reforming policing?” What is Biden doing, if not deliberately inflaming passions and whipping up resentment?
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seems to be playing footsie with the popular and false assertion that led to the torching of Ferguson at the time — that Wilson had “murdered” Brown. It is a lie, and a persistent one at that. Other top-tier Democratic officials, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have helped spread this bit of fake news, too. And they know what they are doing when they spread it.
Harris said in August 2019, “Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.”
Warren tweeted 35 minutes later, “5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on.”
But Brown was not “murdered,” as the Obama Justice Department made abundantly clear in its investigation of the matter.
The false story that Brown put his hands up and said, "Don’t shoot!” has been debunked thoroughly, and Biden and his campaign team really should know better.
Biden and these Democrats are idiots, liars, and dangerous.

Chicago yesterday
Ariel Atkins, a BLM Organizer, defended looters according to NBC Chicago, saying “I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats. That makes sure that person has clothes.”
“That is reparations.”
Atkins added “Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.”
Black Lives Matter members in Chicago held a rally on Monday to support the more than 100 arrested last night following widespread looting and rioting that caused at least $60 million in property damage and saw 13 police officers injured, according to a report.
A certain winner for democrats.

I don't think Biden is dangerous. He is amusing as hell since you never know what bizarre stuff will come out of his mouth. He is not dangerous by any means. The exception could be I don't know what kind of people he has surrounding him in his administration. They would probably be considered dangerous in many peoples minds.

WOW, a what screwed up interpretation of unlawful behavior. These companies have insurance. How much more will that insurance cost and who will pay for it? The customers will pay in the end of course. I would be interested to read how some FLP folks on this forum spin this nonsense.

“Nobody is going to defund the police. We can restructure the police forces — restructure, reimagine policing. That is what we are going to do,” House Minority Whip James E Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the chamber, said in an interview with CNN on Sunday.
Seattle Police Chief To Resign After City Council's Vote to Defund Police
Though the city council overwhelmingly voted to defund the department and cut about 100 jobs from the force—and slice the chief's salary of nearly $285,000—one city council member, Kshama Sawant, cast the lone "no" vote because she didn't think cuts to the police department went far enough.
—Newsweek 8/11/20
I guess Rep. Clyburn doesn't understand what defund means!
Another winner for democrats

Speaking Monday morning, Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown said looters have “learned there are no consequences,” a clear shot at Foxx over her handling of cases.

Oregon Public Broadcasting has broken the story on the bomb throwing at protestors. More detail about the individual believed to be involved.
OPB Story
The Daily Beast also has a much less in-depth story this morning.

Is anyone not fat in Colorado? Almost every person in this video is significantly obese. Would it really pain anyone to every once in a while hit the salad bar instead of one more, transfatty, sugared-up pop tart with butter on top? This was like watching pigs mud wrestle.

Well that was quick, Pete! Changed your mind again, didya?
You've been telling us that American prosecutors are all corrupt?
Now you're complaining that this one is dropping cases because she doesn't have the evidence to prosecute?
Or is "this different" because they're not rich friends of Trump?
Nonstop entertainment from you, Pete. You can't keep your stories straight for five minutes...

6ft likes big government. And, of course, thinks that it's not possible that there's government waste at a police department.
Right six?
