  1.  @silentmajority8365  I have a history degree, although not in American history, but I certainly have studied plenty of that, and not just in school! Whom should Lincoln have sent back, and to where? More importantly, what the hell does that have to do with this video?

  2. Among many other reasons, Israel is a pretty wealthy country that does not need any of our money.

  15.  @olesilverbastard9830  That's exactly what it was. They nearly prevented certification of the election, came very close to lynching lawmakers, and would have caused a constitutional crisis. It was part of a larger string of attempts by Trump to stay in power, as we're learning day-by-day.

  18.  @donkeykong9674  Most of the police fought bravely; some of them seemed to collaborate with the attackers (but not by giving tours). That's no great surprise.
    2
  19.  @jillstone3328  I've been to several BLM protests, and there was no violence at any of them, so by definition you're wrong about "every." That's been true around the country for years now. It's also beside the point; civil unrest is one thing, but a coup attempt (or at least a putsch) is another!
    2
  20. Their charges are not violent, unlike many of the other arrestees.
    2
  21. According to the SCOTUS, the cops are under no legal obligation to help anyone in particular.
    2
  22. You exaggerate.
    2
  23.  @aurorasstorm5877  You do realize that many people are facing very hard time, right? You've seen the footage of the heavy fighting, no? Watch "Day of Rage," mostly shot by the attackers themselves!
    2
  24.  @aurorasstorm5877  People are being charged with many other, greater crimes! Where did you get this idea, and what gave you the idea that nobody's in trouble for the riots you mention? "Doing your own research" does not mean looking into conspiracy theories and other nonsense passed around on Facebook.
    2
  25.  @Tjb4538  Yes, although the word is "biased," not "bias."
    2
  26.  @chuckdarwin6887  Several of the attackers were caught with firearms, along with explosives. They of course had hundreds of melee weapons, as everyone can see. They came very close to lynching lawmakers, preventing certification of the election, and causing a constitutional crisis. You've seen the leaked DOJ notes that just came out in the last couple of days, no?
    2
  27. No, they don't have anyone's back.
    2
  28. On the contrary, that sort of thing leads to more delinquency. I'm willing to bet that these kids experienced beatings growing up, and surely saw lots more domestic violence. There's a reason that every major medical organization in the world opposes hitting children (though it should be obvious).

  50. Police don't do that in general. They're law enforcement; they show up after the fact and take notes, and they enforce petty regulations. According to the SCOTUS, they are under no obligation to protect anyone.

  72. This sort of thing has also erupted in Jacksonville, run by Republicans. The root causes of this include things like lead exposure (which is closely connected to redlining), and Republicans are not known to care much about the environment.

  73. Most of them are teens, and they were in a mob.

  74. @country It's a new anti-Black slur. It's inspired by the Ahmaud Arbury killing, and it sounds conveniently like a notorious slur.

  83. There have been lots of stories about that.
    1
  84. They don't care? Besides, there's a world of difference between civil unrest and a putsch!

  85. It's not their fault exactly; it's just that people have the perception that cops are going to protect them. Note that the SCOTUS has ruled that the cops are not obligated to help anyone.

  86. According to the SCOTUS, cops are not obligated to protect anyone.

  87. Social workers have proven to be very helpful in many situations of the sort that cops don't have the training to handle (mental breakdowns and the like).

  106. What should BLM target? The lumpenproletariat who commit these crimes aren't portrayed in any positive light, the way the police are. There's nothing to challenge.

  107. That's disingenuous.
    1
  108. What's that supposed to mean?

  109. They're not under any obligation to help anyone anyway, according to SCOTUS rulings. I don't think that this is political.

  110. You don't know that.

  114. For what? According to SCOTUS rulings, police are not obligated to help anyone in particular.
    1
  115. Their hands aren't tied. There is no "blue flu." The fact is that the SCOTUS has ruled that police are under no obligation to protect anyone.

  116. Most of the city is fine.

  117. They are mostly teens, so why not?

  118. There's nothing to target. There's no institution, just the lumpenproletariat.

  119.  @ChickenNuggetScooner  Ok, but what could rioters target? There are cases of people torching crack houses, to be sure.

  120. According to the SCOTUS, police are under no obligation to protect anyone.

  121. Cops don't know anyone's political stances. They aren't obligated to help anyone anyway.

  132.  @dripskee6443  How does that constitute "voting for it?"
    1
  133. No, DHS was not referring to common crime.
    1
  134.  @byah160  I don't think that's the purview of the DHS.
    1
  135.  @byah160  Common crime is not their concern. They were talking about terrorism and such, and their analysis is completely accurate, as far-right terrorism has been substantially more common than other forms for years.
    1
  136.  @byah160  No, that's not true at all. The Center for Strategic and International Studies has the data: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/domestic-terrorism-data/ If you're thinking about last year's civil unrest, most of the violence was the work of cops, vigilantes, lumpen, etc.
    1
  137.  @byah160  That isn't the WP quantifying anything, it's a well-respected think tank that studies this kind of thing. Nobody burned down any cities. There was widespread civil unrest last year, but no cities burned down. When it comes to violent terrorist acts, as the thorough reporting describes, rightists are the major threat.
    1
  138.  @byah160  No, they do not. Most of the violence was the work of police, vigilantes (multiple car attacks and shootings), and apolitical lumpen. Riots per se are not terrorist attacks. Have you ever studied this sort of thing?
    1
  139. Were they defunded?
    1
  140. Nonsense.
    1
  141. No, this report is just about one aspect of this incident, the part involving the police. People expect the cops to protect them, when police are actually not obligated to do so.
    1
  142. Note also that the SCOTUS ruled that cops are under no obligation to protect anyone.

  143. What's that supposed to mean?

  145.  @womanofwisdon34  Besides that, most recipients of public assistance have jobs of some kind.
    1
  146.  @dilanjones6457  Not this again. Most of the deaths in the 2020 riots were the work of cops, vigilantes, and lumpen. They were pretty minor compared with, say, 1967-68, among others. The January 6th Putsch caused several more deaths besides that of Babbit, and, more importantly, the attackers came within minutes of lynching lawmakers, preventing the certification of the election, and causing a constitutional crisis. That's much more important than any civil unrest! Also, have the police really been defunded in the cities that you mention? Leftists can't abide Lightfoot, by the way.
    1
  147.  @dilanjones6457  "Tough on crime" doesn't do what you think that it does. The Great Crime Decline that began in the 90s also occurred in countries that never practiced the mass incarceration that the US has.
    1
  148.  @dilanjones6457  Nothing about eliminating lead from buildings, soil, water, etc.? Do you know about the overwhelming link between lead and crime? The GOP are no friends of the environment. Besides that, what we're seeing is an uptick in crime, but the bigger picture since the early 90s has been a steep drop.
    1
  149. Don't talk to the police without an attorney.
    1
  150. And?
    1
  151. No, why would you?

  152. What does that mean? Jabonalopes?

  153. Cops are under no legal obligation to help anyone, according to the SCOTUS. They may have decided that it would have been too unsafe to intervene, or they just didn't care.

  154.  @robertjohnson5893  Were they defunded?
    1
  155.  @ronstar7027  Really, which state is that? If we're looking at intentional homicide, or violent crime in general, it's a mixed bag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_intentional_homicide_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_violent_crime_rate

  156. What's that supposed to mean?
    1
  157. No, that tends to provoke serious unrest! Seriously, how many examples do you need?
    1
  158. It's not that simple.

  159.  Beer tester  What the hell does that mean?

  164.  @bensmith7932  "Incentivized bad behavior..." I'm tired of that canard.
    1
  165.  @bensmith7932  That's the point; your claim is a canard. Nobody is giving away money to make bad decisions.
    1
  166.  @bensmith7932  For years I've read variations on what you just wrote. That's my point. It's a convenient narrative, but it's not accurate. Among other things, married Black couples began having fewer children, and the Drug War took away huge numbers of fathers, and rendered many more men unmarriageable.
    1
  167. The cops are under no legal obligation to help anyone, according to the SCOTUS. If they think it's too dangerous, or they just don't care, they won't bother.
    1
  168. That's not really what they're saying. People just don't realize that cops are not obligated to protect anyone, per the SCOTUS.
    1
  169. That's silly. Overall, the Great Crime Decline that began in the 1990s is still with us, even with the upswing in homicides since the pandemic began.
    1
  170. That's a canard. They are definitely concerned with this sort of thing. Google is your friend.
    1
  171.  @wernherwalverklappen7823  Cut it out. The DHS warning pertains to political violence, not common crime.
    1
  172. That's a non sequitur. Also, "BLM thugs?"

  184. This is a report about the police regarding this incident, but other reports are more focused on the perpetrators and the incident in general.

  188. They had abundant melee weapons, and several were caught with firearms and explosives. Some of the groups had detailed plans of the building, and arranged plans of what they were trying to do. There was heavy fighting all around the building, preserved on video by the attackers themselves. No, they could not have succeeded in and of themselves, but they came very close to lynching lawmakers, preventing certification of the election, and triggering a constitutional crisis. In the last few days, more things have been leaked from DOJ and the Pentagon, showing how this was just part of Trump's attempts to stay in power.

  189. The police in London (UK, not Ontario) are mostly not equipped with firearms. Of course, guards at airports/train stations/etc. are carrying submachine guns, and the Royal Guards have battle rifles, but that's partially off the subject.
    1
  190.  @rammrod9974  Is that happening there?
    1
  191.  @rammrod9974  My question was: are criminals in London (or any place where most police have no guns) with guns preying upon unarmed civilians and a mostly powerless police department? Where has this alleged defunding taken place?
    1
  192.  @rammrod9974  "Democratic-run cities.." I'm so tired of that canard. (Why do I see the same phrase over and over?) This uptick in violence is also happening in (for one example) Jacksonville, which is run by Republicans. You also know perfectly well that the social workers are for different situations involving mentally ill people in distress, and they have been very helpful. I don't endorse police at all, armed or otherwise; I'm interested in the approaches of places like Cheran, the town in Mexico where the people threw out the cops and the cartel crooks at the same time, and took security into their own hands. That's just one example.
    1
  193. Have the police there been defunded? Also, this uptick in violence has also happened in places like Jacksonville, which is GOP-dominated.
