President Joe Biden

There's a bit of a problem with this stat. During the riots, the officers were generally together in groups and looking out for each other (unlike the Capitol officers who were understaffed and spread out). Lots of police were injured during the riots (I've seen various numbers hard to count). Several cops around the country were also shot at. There's the issue of the 2 Los Angeles cops for example that were executed in their squad car. But it's unclear if this was a political statement or just a crazy. Then there were the protestors that gathered around the hospital where those cops were admitted who turned it political.
BTW IIRC the 2 LA cops I believe survived...

There was a random shooting somewhere once, so maybe that was the fault of some liberals, so therefore it was ok to bludgeon a police officer to death with an American flag in an attempt to overthrow the government of the U.S. Really, it’s his fellow officers’ fault for not being better prepared for the angry magat patriots.
 
How many police officers were killed by rioters during the Summer 2020 riots?

Genuinely curious.

Based on my quick and dirty internet searching, the answer appears to be zero, unless you count a 77 year old retired police officer and the police officers that were killed by the MAGA/bogoloo boys. But I'm hearing this question being raised a lot so could you let me know how many and your sources?

TIA.

You raise good points, other than all of this nonsense from magats about cops getting killed in the line of duty in completely unrelated incidents is simply the irrelevant distraction they want.

Magats are essentially arguing their support for the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government, which included beating a police officer to death with an American flag, because why? Because maybe (or maybe not) a police officer was killed by a black guy a while back in a protest relating to systemic oppression

In the end, it’s always the same. Magats won’t concede anything. Instead they’re apologists for an insurrection to the extent they don’t support it outright. You can also tell they’re racist when they defend and rationalize what happened because people protested systemic persecution a while back. The only way to deal with trumpanzees is constant mocking. Make them double, and then triple, down so that people who aren’t nuts quite easily see what they really stand for. The only way to get these f**ks to reconsider is to put them on a do not fly list and watch them drown in a pool of their whiny tears. That and tar and feather their mango master to the point that we go back to the days in which they were too embarrassed to share their bigoty, sh*t for brains ideas publicly.

You are absolutely one clueless hateful nasty piece of shit. You make "Magats" look good. Again, I hope you are only a keyboard warrior because if this is how you carry yourself in real life, I have no words. I'm sure you were out setting stores on fire, looting and painting Graffitti on anything you could find. Look at what YOU did to downtown Portland, Oregon to the Federal Courthouse. It's much worse than the Capitol.

 
Are you people still attempting to deflect away from or excuse the behavior at the Capitol building with whataboutism and faux facts? A better tact might be to point out that the attack was planned and coordinated by extreme white supremacy militia groups and that many others simply were caught up in the frenzy. But you wouldn’t want to offend trumps core base now would you?

it is true that the people who participated in the blm protests in the spring/summer were “mostly peaceful”. It is also true that there was a large amount of looting and violence in the spring/summer and that hundreds of officers were hurt in the violence. It is also true that d politicians and media either indirectly encouraged the behavior (including the Vice President elect and the speaker) or did nothing to stop it or were late to condemning it (the president elect)

it is true that the trump protestors in washington were “mostly peaceful” and the majority of them did not enter the capitol and dispersed when ordered. It is also true that there were substantial numbers either in the capitol or pushing against the gates, that there were white supremacists among them and there were those among them that sought to do harm to legislators and/or overthrow the government. It is also true that trump told them to go home, that trump prior to the storming worked them up into a frenzy (though note for most of the protestors at his speech there was not enough time for them to reach the capitol frontlines unless they ran there or had autos ready) and that trump was late in telling them to go home.
 
Ps the rs only need 6-7 more votes and impeachment for the ds is on the table. There’s already enough on the table for Biden and harris for some rs to attempt it (not speaking to whether it’s justified) and every admin since Nixon has had something go askew. Every president from here on out is likely to be impeached but not removed when the house is controlled by the opposite party. It will become like a vote of no confidence without forcing a cabinet reorg

Yes that is what they are doing. It’s all about bigotry with magats. It s quite obvious that @MARsSPEED is rationalizing the attempted overthrough of the government because black people have protested inequality.

For every example of an incident of violence involving a police officer during a protest relating to oppression, there are hundreds of incidents involving blacks being hanged from trees, murdered by police and others due to their skin color, denied education and employment opportunities, denied the right to vote. Bit none of that is relevant to the despicable nature of what happened at the Capitol.

It’s fine that racist @MARsSPEED goes psycho here and spends the entire night finding examples of police being killed because it only makes him and his magat co-conspirators look more psycho, and it established quite clearly that his rationalizing the overthrow of the U.S. is driven in large part by bigotry.

You forgot to include the thousands of incidents involving people who’ve been murdered by both police and private citizens based on the color of their skin or sexual orientation. You have missed the millions of incidents in which people have been deprived of equal employment, housing and educational opportunity because of their skin color.

Seriously, the lengths to which magats will go to rationalize and defend what happened last Wed is insane. Look, here are examples to prove black people are bad, so it’s ok to overthrow the government!

The good news is magat @MARsSPEED has given us the go ahead to rationalize whatever horrific behavior we’d like based on something, anything, that happened in the past. So if you ever decide to burn down a liquor store or shoot a cop or graffiti a police station, you can feel justified and good about it because magats stormed our Capitol trying to overthrow the government and also beat a police officer to death with an American flag in the process. Or maybe @MARsSPEED is telling us to think bigger. Instead of simply protesting oppression, we should go for the brass ring and overthrow the entire government, is that you’re telling us @MARsSPEED? It’s ok to overthrow the U.S. government but not protest cops murdering people based on their skin color?

Of course, I’m guessing @MARsSPEED actually thinks that’s what happened. That we socialists conspired with a long dead former south american dictator and a voting machine company to steal the election. Is that right @MARsSPEED?
 
I wonder if this is a chicken before the egg problem:


the vast majority of right wing protestors have been (until the capitol) of the side of police. Even in the capitol despite Some protestors being armed the vast majority dispersed when ordered. When the police tell them stop go home they generally did (as I wrote the morning of the capitol I dont think they are aligned anymore and I worried when that split happen there would be violence similar to the cop-left violence we saw in spring)

the blm/Antifa protests were anti-cop. Further at the beginning they took place at a time when there were lockdown rules being broken (it besides politicians cheating were the 1 factor that shattered the lockdown consensus)

up until now you didn’t see right protestors getting in cops faces telling them to die pig. I do think that’s starting the shift now. The right and police are no longer friends

An election that saw down ballot Republicans (the ones that distanced themselves from trump that is) do surprisingly well.
