Woke leftist rips women for using 'white privilege' to scrub Black Lives Matter graffiti from federal building - TheBlaze
Leftists are becoming far too predictable.

‘Abolish The Police’ Is A Slogan For The Destruction Of America
‘Abolish The Police’ Is A Slogan For The Destruction Of America:
- Calls to defund or abolish the police are not about restoring an open and liberal society, they are about tearing it down and seizing power.
This week Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, announced the city would be slashing the police department’s budget by $100 to $150 million and instead “reinvesting in black communities and communities of color.”
The cuts to the LA police will make up the bulk of $250 million in funds to be reallocation to “end racism in our city,” Garcetti said.
How exactly those millions will be spent remains unclear, but the mayor has in mind investments “in jobs, in education, and healing.”

...Some in Minneapolis want to go even further.
This week Rep. Ilhan Omar endorsed the idea of disbanding the Minneapolis Police Department
...What we learn from those places is that people who know they don’t have police protection will seek protection from whomever wields power, which is why even now you see businessowners whose stores have been looted and burned out expressing supporter for BLM and the ongoing protests...

Death of man in Tacoma, Wash., who said 'I can't breathe' in police custody ruled a homicide:"The mayor of Tacoma, Washington, called for the city manager to fire four police officers after the death of a black man in custody was ruled a homicide.
Manuel Ellis, 33, died on March 3 after being handcuffed and restrained by officers.
He could be heard on police scanner traffic saying “I can’t breathe,” after he was handcuffed, and he died at the scene, according to NBC News affiliate KING in Seattle.
A Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office ruling released this week said Ellis died of respiratory arrest due to hypoxia as a result of physical restraint, KING reported.

MSU Student Gov Shares ‘Defense of Looting’, Prejudice Against Whites ‘Not Considered’ Racism, More
MSU Student Gov Shares ‘Defense of Looting’, Prejudice Against Whites ‘Not Considered’ Racism, More"...In a June 2 Facebook post, the student government, the Associated Students of MSU (ASMSU), shared a website with “Educate Yourself” material.
The post stated, “Black Lives Matter. WE ALL have a part in this movement of change.”
In the resource they shared, looting is called “one of the most righteous anti-white supremacist tactics.”
An article titled “In Defense of Looting,” claims the ruling class defends their basis of power, property, by saying “looting is violent and non-political."
A similar article, “Forget ‘Looting.’ Capitalism is the Real Robbery” claims white supremacy, capitalism, and government “work together to violently repress people who defend Black life.”...

Minneapolis leaders allowed protesters to destroy city. Now they demand taxpayers pay for damage. - TheBlaze
The request comes despite Frey openly admitting that city leaders allowed violent protesters to destroy the Minneapolis Police Department's third precinct building.
The delayed response of city and state leaders to the growing unrest also contributed to out-of-hand violence, destruction, and endless looting.
Despite the impending request, FEMA is not likely to help the area.

Washington Post blasted over inaccurate 'grim milestone' tweet on unemployment rate: ‘It’s not true’ | Fox News:
"The Washington Post was blasted on social media after it jumped the gun with an inaccurate tweet Friday claiming the May U.S. unemployment rate was close to 20 percent, moments after the actual report indicated the rate unexpectedly had dropped to 13.3 percent.

Editorial: Whitmer's sweet deal for state workers bad for taxpayers
Editorial: Whitmer's sweet deal for state workers bad for taxpayers"...for thousands of state workers, occasional furlough days are turning into a pretty sweet deal.
The shutdown shouldn't be a windfall for state workers who have kept much of their pay, while also seeing much of their workload drop with everyone stuck at home the last two months.
Last month, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that more than 31,000 state employees would take two furlough days per pay period through July 25, “saving” the state about $80 million.
When you delve into the details, however, it’s not a good deal for those taxpayers who aren’t on the state payroll.
Many of these state workers will be making more money while taking their three-day weekends since they can tap the additional $600 a week in federal unemployment assistance, which was part of the CARES Act...

Chris Cuomo demands to know where it says protests must be 'peaceful,' gets a lesson on the Constitution - TheBlaze
Chris Cuomo demands to know where it says protests must be 'peaceful,' gets a lesson on the Constitution - TheBlaze:
CNN host Chris Cuomo is a law school graduate and licensed attorney — but he apparently does not know what the First Amendment says.
Speaking on his show Tuesday, Cuomo rebuked those who "see the protests as the problem" and demanded that riot critics show him where it says demonstrators must protest peacefully.
"Now too many see the protests as the problem. No, the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets: persistent, poisonous inequities and injustice," Cuomo said. "And please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Because I can show you that outraged citizens are what made the country what she is and led to any major milestone. To be honest, this is not a tranquil time."

Attorney General Bill Barr said Monday that the Justice Department has gathered evidence showing that antifa and “foreign actors” are among the groups responsible for the violence undermining peaceful George Floyd protests.

Tank Man: Short Film About Tiananmen Square Hero | MissLiberty.com
"On June 4th and 5th, 1989, the Chinese government violently put down the pro-liberty Tiananmen Square student protest.
One man stood alone against a column of tanks, and for his extraordinary heroism became known as “Tank Man,” though nothing more is known about his identity.
Some say he was arrested and killed, others that he is still in prison in China, and still others that he is alive and in hiding.
Regardless, he has become a symbol for resistance against tyranny.
This short clip gives more details about Tank Man and what happened to him.

Tank Man is a powerful short film (15 min.) dramatizing events leading up to his moment of extraordinary courage. He is little known in China, where all images of him have been erased and all mention of him banned.
This film does him some small justice...
