Protestors in PA demand that if the attacker is a minority, police should not be permitted to defend themselves.
I think the original article was written as a condemnation of the protests by putting their apparent desires in wording. The desire was never stated by protesters and is just a conclusion based on the incidents provoking riots. I would say they also don't like citizen self-defense either.

And that says everything any reasonable person would need to know about the leftist movements.

The protestors might not be in favor of citizen defense but Lancaster County, where the city of Lancaster is located, had 10% concealed handgun licenses when I applied for my non-res permit there. I suspect that the number hasn't dropped since. I plan to renew mine next month and will ask. I might need an armed guard to get to the court house to apply since I cannot carry in that building.

Entire Rochester Police Command calls it quits. Mayor doesn't know who is left to keep the peaceful riots tonight peaceful.

2 dead and 14 wounded at a party shooting in Rochester says acting police chief. Doesn’t take long for violence to ingulf a City with fewer police.

Also not noted in the story is the fact the police had tased him I believe twice because he was resisting arrest, attempting to reach a knife in his car and that is when the officers shot him!

I thought the whole going for a knife thing had been debunked. He already had it and dropped it when shot.

I haven't followed the story that closely but if he had a knife and was refusing to comply with police commands then he was justifiably shot! Interesting that he dropped the knife after being shot! Goes back to Do As The Nice Police Officer Tells You!

Proof that Soros group is funding rioting. Today in Louisville, KY, after the announcement of the indictment, a U-Haul loaded with riot gear and supplies is unloaded for "protests".

A U-Haul employee has leaked who rented the U-Haul and she belongs to a Soros funded group:

Here's the U-Haul in question:

Is this the next next level? It's gonna get messy out there. We got the Taylor thing, the Ginsburg thing, and all the other things were already going on out there. I can't even imagine what it will be like when Trump wins again.

The part I don't grasp is the leadership of the cities and States permitting this stuff, go back and read about past rioting and looting, the State Police or the National Guard was called up given order to stop the violence, yes rioters and looters were shot and killed and that's when the violence ended! These "protesters" have a right to peacefully protest but they are destroying businesses, attacking innocent people on the street and at their homes, seems that's not going to work out well for mayors and governors! So why are they allowing it?

I have been having some of the same thoughts. I really believe some of these leftist mayors and governors that are allowing the rioting believe they are going to score political points. I also believe many of them are suffering from an extreme case of Trump derangement syndrome.

Maybe so maybe TDS is the motivator but this doesn't damage Trump in the least, it does damage the local economy, damages their voters and is a sure path for the opposition to move into their office and run things
