Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

Yup. Not happy defending someone wearing a swastika.
However, what's next. That's the problem.

A mob of people at your house. One of them grabbing. Lasers in the eyes.

I think 00 Buck in the face trumps lasers in the eyes.

Free speech is like that sometimes. Just like it seems that cases that defend our rights seem to let criminals off in the cases where they are decided.

A lot of people have forgotten about Skokie, IL. It is precisely the defending of free speech for those we hate that protects our speech. The same is going on here. People have a right to be safe in their own homes from these Marxists, even Nazis. How many green lasers were there trying to blind her?

 

[nonobaddog]

What is the law on those lasers like the ones aimed at her eyes? It know it must be OK to aim at somebody's eyes if you say you are a protester but what about the rest of us?

"death or serious bodily harm"

I thought we were told that none of this is happening in Portland.

Putting this here, since we don't have a Portland thread.

I thought they were the ones demanding their free speech rights?
Why wouldn't they celebrate someone wearing a swastika, if they believe in freedom of speech...?

Don't answer the door.

“...things that cause crime, like education, wealth redistribution...”

Huh. Ya don’t say.

Wait, I thought they were peaceful protestors. Paragraph three in bold is mine for emphasis. If this is how the PD Chief is going to approach it he needs to be unemployed.

[h=1]Portland mayor condemns rioters for 'attempting to commit murder'[/h]Portland's police chief denounces riots Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.


“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.


"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”


A riot was declared Wednesday evening when agitators descended upon the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct building, spray-painted over security cameras, broke a glass door with a 2x4, lit a fire using an accelerant and threw fireworks and other objects at officers, according to FOX 12 in Portland.


Police said that a truck also attempted to run over officers.


The front doors of the precinct were barricaded before the fire was started with more than 20 officers and civilian employees inside, police said, according to FOX 12.


Officers used tear gas to disperse the rioters and at least eight people were arrested. A federal court order bars police from using tear gas unless a riot is declared.


“I believe that city staff could have died last night,” Wheeler said. “I cannot and I will not tolerate that. This is not peaceful protests. This is not advocacy to advance reforms.”
Rioters also vandalized and broke into Portland’s Police Association Tuesday night.


Wheeler also urged peaceful protesters to avoid gatherings that could turn destructive or violent, according to Oregon Live.



“If you are a nonviolent demonstrator and you don’t want to be part of intentional violence, please stay away from these areas,” Wheeler said. “Our community must say that this violence is not Portland, that these actions do not reflect our values and these crimes are distracting from reform, not advancing.”

Looks like the PD Chief is using a political rationale for not trying to kill people. If you act in such a manner you will only be fodder for getting Donald Trump re-elected.

Howbout the Chief just using the rationale of you will be dealt with severely for committing violent lawless acts instead of making a political statement?
