I have refined my view. I don’t think the Officer will be found guilty of murder (I am not going to get back into if he *should* be found guilty or not).

Newsmax, which has actually been around a long time, is actually a competitor to Fox TV It was one of the first sources of news I started quoting in `1996 or 7. One of the first running links to other news sources and putting them on one page.

I'll be watching real closely how often they tell "the whole story" on other subjects when it no longer fits their agenda since this guy repeated over and over how you weren't hearing the whole story by the bad bad media.

Not sure what the ruling will be on "Killed" vs "murdered", but even a police reg saying someone can be rendered unconscious doesn't address what would be the responsibility of the officer as soon as that goal is reached. Didn't they note, that Floyd stopped responding for quite awhile before he checked for consciousness or got off his neck?

9 major riots in Portland in the
11 days since the feds left. Is
this anywhere on the major
media? Rioters had looting
caravans that were going store
to store on the posh Miracle
Mile in Chicago last night.
Is this on the news? Businesses
are leaving Chicago in droves,
it's another Detroit in the making.
Worse than Detroit.

No surprise Trump's plan didn't solve anything.

When the overwhelming majority of the people in an area are really ready to do something about a problem, outsiders can help them achieve it. Up to that point, the particular problem is probably intractable. You can be afraid of the criminals, and afraid of the police. But you Gotta pick one to work with. Or pick another way and stick with it.

Trump is the mayor of Portland? When did that happen? I thought Portland and Oregon were both all run by Democrats? So it would be Democrat plans allowing it all to happen?

If he tries to intervene he's a dictator.
If he leaves it up to them, he's
an ineffective leader. See how
that works?

Does anybody really give a crap
about Pothead Portland? If
it was Des Moines I'd be worried.

Yep, I hope Trump lets those libbie cities with libbie mayors and libbie governors FAIL. Then perhaps their stupid libbie voters will wise up.

One can only hope..............

That's why Trump is a failure as even his own followers can't keep facts straight.

I guess you don't know who ordered the Federal troops for Portland that I'm talking about.
