Yeah, not sure how the violence would help. The perception is that the rioters/looters are are cozy with Dems, which will push independents the other way.Probably not. ?

Seems to be working as Rasmussen poll has Trump at least tied with Biden at this point, ?Probably not. ?

What are you waiting for? I'm sure you know a few.
I'm sure you dont have a problem with sub 80 IQ career criminals being shot by police then.

I like Seth McFarlane, but he’s wrong here. Weak Mayors have left radicals/rioters take over their city and destroy parts of it with no repercussions. You can blame Trump for plenty of things, but this is on each city’s horrendous leadership

Donald Trumps favorite pollsters Have been polling him high since day one. They were also the only outlet in America to project the republicans keeping the house in the midterms ?

Maybe but it’s closer than you want it to be. Also poll taken before RNC convention was completed.

A vast majority of the protest have been peaceful. The majority of Deaths related to these protest have been rooted in antagonistic documented Trump supporters, even the cop that was killed and mentioned during the RNC was killed by a Right wing Trump supporter. As for property damage
"Destruction of property while protesting the murder of innocent people is wrong. But murdering those protesters to protect the property is OK? "
Do I believe folks damaging property should be arrested? Sure. But it seems like folks are putting more value on property than actual lives, which historically,,,,,

Trumps also taken glee in stoking the tensions that are driving these protests. He’s not going to escape blame free this as much as people would like him too

And a vast majority of police aren’t evil, but here we are. You don’t get to exaggerate the outliers of one group while minimizing outliers in another group

Or maybe the Mayor of Portland should have balls and put a stop to the increasingly violent riots occurring the past 3 months

Not really? Rasmussen is consistently such an outlier that I don’t pay any attention to their results. I also ignore Yougov and Trafalgar.

They’ve also been #1 or #2 most accurate in 3 of the last 4 presidential elections, FWIW.

I agree that the vast majority of police officers in the United states are good people, trying to do the right thing. The problem is when you read things like this:
White supremacists and militias have infiltrated police across US, report says
A former FBI agent has documented links between serving officers and racist militant activities in more than a dozen states
www.theguardian.com

and you see things like this:
or hear things like this:

A sheriff in Arkansas resigned after audio of a racist rant was leaked online.

It makes you question those split second decisions that officers across the country make,,
As Shannon Sharpe stated earlier this week
"They say turn the other cheek. How about you stop slapping me."

Same thing I thought. Must make $200000 a year to eat that much food and absolutely no exercising.
Please keep believing that.
I must admit, I don't follow the news that close anymore, because all the rioting, looting, and BLM "systemic racism" victimhood stuff gets old, but weren't they the people defending their own property from an angry, aggressive, and threatening (and likely armed) mob that broke down their gate? Maybe I'm wrong.
If I'm right, how did that narrative get changed to "waving guns at black people"? Does the narrative always have to be about race and be so racist? It's getting tiresome.

The "mob" was headed to the Mayor's house and was paying their property no mind until they came out like Bonnie and Clyde threatening folks. No other neighbors along the route felt obliged to respond in such a threatening manner.
And apparently the poll that mattered.... just like the rest of the Democrats.

Except the Dem candidate is publicly condemning their actions and the incumbent President is relishing in the protester/anti-protester speech because he thinks it is good for his reelection chances. KellyAnne said it out loud.
