It's looking disturbingly like Marxist revolution.
This isn’t about fairness and tolerance - just the opposite. It’s about a powerful but small faction seeking control over the lives of a nation to assert its own agenda which will expand and grow into a monster if it's allowed to continue.

In Scripture they called Elisha "bald-head" https://biblehub.com/2_kings/2-23.htm now if you think about it God created Elisha and Elisha had no control over his hair as to if it grew or not so the insult was as if God himself had done something incorrect in having Elisha's hair not grow.

We as Gods creation have no ability to add to our stature https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-6-27/ nor https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/13-23.htm can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard change his spots. We are all created by God and the apparel(skin color,hair,eye color ect.) we are dressed in by him is of his choice and to him he did a perfect job in it.

We should remember this when we sit down at the table of God https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2&version=KJV
because what we consider good apparel or vile raiment doesn't seem to be the same as God see's it. I think MLK was quoting James about not being judged by the color of our skin and that we would one day walk together which is equal rights that is equal(not one having more than the other and others having less). After all he was a Christian preacher so as fellow Christians we should see this issue.

Chicago saw its deadliest day in at least 60 years last month,
with 18 killings within a 24-hour period on 31 May.


The violence occurred as protests over George Floyd's death
in Minneapolis also spurred rioting and looting in the Windy City.


Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that on 31 May, the city's 911 emergency
call centre received 65,000 calls - 50,000 more than on an average day.


Over the last weekend in May - a three day holiday - 85 people were
shot and 24 killed, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab.


Most of the victims were black.

The dead and injured include students, parents and middle-aged workers,
according to the data published in the Chicago Sun-Times.


"We've never seen anything like it, at all," senior research director Max Kapustin
told the newspaper, noting that the Crime Lab's data only goes back as far as 1961.


"I don't even know how to put it into context," he said. "It's beyond anything that we've ever seen before."

The second deadliest day in the city's history was 4 August 1991, when 13 people were killed, according to the data.

antifa is "a political protest movement comprising autonomous groups affiliated by their militant opposition to fascism and other forms of extreme right-wing ideology.
Antifa in America is a leftist terrorist organization that has just been exposed for what they are (like we needed more proof)

They're even worse in Europe, too. Particularly in Germany.

The media I notice plays parts of videos on the news and because of this I found that NPR most times have the actual videos to play. In the video I noticed he has a phone or something and is poking it at the officers gun belt? And then the two who pushed him back(plastic face mask) turn around shaking their heads as if they did not intend to harm him, What do you see? https://www.npr.org/sections/live-u...ers-charged-after-shoving-protester-to-ground

If only I had time to verify and address these point by point.

Assuming all of these accomplishments are accurate. Are they all necessarily good changes? Do they tell us the whole story?

I almost wish these insanely foolish people would get there wish, and there would be no police in these Democrat cities.

After a couple of weeks they will be crying, and begging for police.

A video has actually surfaced in which that same man is seen talking with the man who videotaped the episode.

Doctors have now stated that the way he is supposed to have hit his head would not incur bleeding from the ear.

His facebook page is also encouraging violence and hatred towards police.

And on it goes.

That's old news already.
I was posting something new regarding the 75 yr old man

In this day of lies and deception coming from all sides, do I think innocent people go to jail or are charged with things they have not done?

you betcha.

You most likely do not think so, but if a 4 star General can be conspired against, lied about and exculpatory evidence hidden, then sure a couple of cops can be hauled off also. Did you notice though, that 52 other officers quit that unit in support of them? That says something.

Yes as we have a big problem with police corruption
There's not a judge in America who's going to put a cop in jail without valid evidence

Supposed to have hit his head? Are these supposed doctors now diagnosing by video footage, or have they even seen the footage? The claim that bleeding from the ear would not be a result of an injury from such a fall is pure lunacy. They should have their licenses revoked.

Some doctors lol.

No real doctor would say something as crazy as that.

When a person’s head hits asphalt or concrete it takes very little before damage to the brain can be seen.

A doctor who hasn’t even seen the injury will not be diagnosing a person like you claim.

Looks like your “doctors” are fake news.

Haha
