We are big city Democratic politicians so 'strict' about shelter in place except for violent protest

Big-city Dems who had imposed strict coronavirus lockdowns now let George Floyd rioters flout rules

Seems contradictory

I think Beto Rourk in Texas the Democratic hopeful bid or Texas might be the poster child of leftist misspeak where he said the current GOP governor was 'weak' for not leaving Texas in lockup???? but I searched and don't see where he said anything corrective regarding as violent protests as an inappropriate response to inappropriate actions. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Corrective words made by the mayor of Atlanta but where are the corrective words from team Biden?

I don't think the mayors had the power to enforce social distancing during
protests & riots. I can't fault them for failure to achieve the impossible.

You clearly have no understanding of Beto first of all. I may not agree with all he stood for but he is a very good person who cares about the people he serves unlike the person he ran against for the Texas senate. The one who won the senate mislead the people of Texas with misrepresentation of the truth and what he stated then lied to the people of Texas.

No one could have stopped the protest that developed just as Trump could not stop what happened in Washington DC tonight. He went into a bunker to hide! What matters is what happens after these demonstrations to correct the problem.

If theybhad any control over it, especially to that extent, it wouldn't be a riot.

I agree, anyone with any sense of the magnitude of this protest would know that this could not be controlled by republican or democratic leadership. Trump is hiding in a bunker despite his secret service just waiting to confront the protestors. What does Trump do? Encourage his MAGA supporters to confront the protestors and blame the left wing. No surprise there.

And the lefties blame him.
What all should be doing is demanding change in policing.
And while we're at it, criminal justice reform.

Technically, I'm a propaganda regurgitationist.

I have the certificate to prove it.

We have cops rioting now. That's a failure in leadership. Good departments have leaders who make sure officers get trained and have zero tolerance for bad apples. This is what leaders do when cops misbehave:

Atlanta mayor says 2 police officers fired over excessive force in protest incident

Nah, that's not rioting.
It's a couple thugs who got caught over-reacting violently.
Firing is good.
Prosecution is better.

My enemies are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Hate (like fear) is the mind killer.

He could do something about it. But thats harder than online flame wars and making stuff up for twitter fueds.

Trump is not the Prez to address this problem.
He lacks the insight & temperament.

Really, he just needs to hurry up and die. Pense at least I don't see suggesting bleach injections for covid (he has a number of deaths not related to covid on his hamds for his bull**** statements).

I'd settle for his being quiet.

He has demonstrated he fundamentally is not capable of that. He is able to die though.

He said it himself he takes no responsibility. He just says garbage that has gotten people sent the ER and morgue.

Well if they were tyrants they could always shoot the rioters. That will get all of them socially distanced in seconds.

Dark humor aside Rev is right. It was an impossible situation to control.

Anyways karma is a ***** they say. I would haphazard to say for some, it could very well be their last riot.
