I’m watching store after store, after store in areas all over So Cal that are being either on fire or being looted from inexpensive to the elegant stores in Beverly Hills. I have not seen anything like this since Rodney King. This is not democracy. This is anarchy. During the day it was not like this. It was peaceful and impressive.

Yeah as I said that’s one part of the story. But you’re acting like it’s the whole story and it just simply is not.

There’s also police violence and escalation. All over the country. Is your news broadcast showing that too?

There’s also peaceful protest. All over the country. Is your news broadcast showing that too?

Some of that police violence is against peaceful protest. Seeing that on tv?

There are also all sorts of instances where police are handling protest fine and in some cases even joining the protests. That on your tv?

I keep saying the same thing–this entire issue cannot be reduced to one simple narrative. That will remain true, I mean…it’s just going to remain true! You can repeat all you want that all your tv shows you is destruction of property. And yes, okay, that’s what your tv is showing you. What is NOT true is that that’s the only thing happening.

i wanna say this too. i’m watching local news coverage right now.

they are careful to emphasize that MOST of the protesters today and this whole week really have been peaceful. they are careful to point out that it is only a minority of the people out there who are causing a majority of the destruction we’re seeing now. and i’m sure it’s the same all over the country.

i don’t know how the national coverage is portraying it.

Okay point taken!

no it’s not antifa it’s fa as in fascism infamous Autozone riot started by a St.Paul cop.

After failing to appropriate the Black People's Party, entitled white kids appropriated our fight yesterday, and made it dirty.

Then they left us to deal with the police violence they stoked.

Ex-FBI official slams Bill Barr for ignoring the right-wing ‘Boogaloo Bois’ infiltrating protests

Attorney General Bill Barr was slammed by the former assistant director for counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday for misleading Americans about the source of violence at the protests over the killing of George Floyd while in police custody.

“There’s evidence developing, Brian, that the organization we’re seeing of the most violent protesters is coming from a couple of disturbing places,” both, by the way, there’s disparate in terms in being from the right or the left. here’s what those who monitor these groups and sites are seeing.

“We’re seeing a far-right group, one group for example known as the Boogaloo Bois, who on their private Facebook page and social media outlets are calling for violence, calling for people to show up,” Frank Figliuzzi told MSNBC’s Brian Williams.

“We’re seeing evidence in the protests that right-wing dangerous militia groups are there. We’ve seen flags and symbols that come from both Boogaloo Bois and dangerous militia groups,” he warned. “On the far-left, we’re seeing some evidence developing of global anarchists showing up.”

“So we’re seeing a strange alignment occurring by some groups who are anti-government on the right and therefore anti-police because they think the police are too oppressive to them, aligning themselves with people like Black Lives Matter and saying, ‘hey, we’re one because we both don’t like the police,’ but I’m here to tell you they are not one, their intention is to destroy government and the system of justice, as opposed to calling for justice within the system.”

“What do we do about it?” Williams asked.

“Well, ordinarily we’d rely on our system and mechanisms and rule of law, but here’s two things significant that happened today that caused me to be deeply troubled about the summer ahead. The attorney general, William Barr held a press conference where he chose selectively just the intelligence that indicates there’s far-left agitators within the protest groups,” Figliuzzi noted.

AG Barr: it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchic and left extremist groups, far left extremist groups using Antifa like tactics… it is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting

“He politicized intelligence. We shouldn’t be surprised by it, but we should be disturbed that the whole truth is not getting out about all the groups that pose a threat because that goes toward whether or not law enforcement will take effective action against all groups that are violent and be allowed to take such action,” he explained.

“And then the second thing that should disturb us today is within the last hour, the president of the United States has tweeted he wants to use the unlimited power of the military with regard to these protests. Well, let me remind our viewers that we have laws in the United States that prevent the military from turning into law enforcement on the streets of America,” he reminded.

“Yet we see a direction of where this is headed: politicizing the intelligence so that only the far-left becomes the bad folks here, and then a president who seems inclined to use the military on our streets,” Figliuzzi warned.

This is the first accurate headline I’ve read tonight. https://t.co/sbjvxcGZzE
