Trump ordered a police attack on peaceful protestors to create a backdrop for his speech.
There’s that passive voice again.

He never even mentioned George Floyd, did he.
He did bring up the second amendment for some reason though.
Umm, this is right outside of the WH.
My brother said he’s calling for activating the military in his speech but no one here is freaking out so I assume he didn’t quite say that?
My buddy is texting me saying martial law. I don’t know I’m not watching.
My son is watching and told me he’s basically threatening to send in the military to any city or state which doesn’t “take action”

He dickwaved about mobilizing all resources, civilian and military. Sounded like his typical daily blustering bullshit.
Threatening but posse comitas (sp?) prevents him from doing so?
Yes, DJT has constantly made it clear how much an ally of peaceful protesters he is.

from the ACLU:
As you come out to protest, here’s what our video notes to keep in mind:
- The right to protest is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment.
- If you get stopped, ask if you are free to go. If the police say yes, calmly walk away.
- You have the right to record. The right to protest includes the right to record, including recording police doing their jobs.
- The police can order people to stop interfering with legitimate police operations, but video recording from a safe distance is not interfering.
- If you get stopped, police cannot take or confiscate any videos or photos without a warrant.
- If you are videotaping, keep in mind in some states, the audio is treated differently than the images. But images and video images are always fully protected by the First Amendment.
- The police’s main job in a protest is to protect your right to protest and to de-escalate any threat of violence.
- If you get arrested, don’t say anything. Ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not sign anything and do not agree to anything without an attorney present.
- If you get arrested, demand your right to a local phone call. If you call a lawyer for legal advice, law enforcement is not allowed to listen.
- Police cannot delete data from your device under any circumstances.
Squinting really hard here but not seeing the cops’ rights to be an ass because they’re human too on the list.
This bloated motherfucker and all his cronies need to go out like Herbert Hoover.
Makes sense. DJT is a very spiritual man, and should be allowed to walk to church.

Posting this again because now it’s up to 111 from 53 yesterday.
Not that it matters since the Constitution and the rule of law apparently just got suspended.
