He's tweeting about shooting looters, not protesters. I mean, not to defend Trump. I'm just saying ...
do you think he knows the difference?

Yes, I think he knows the difference between black and white.

Advocating for shooting American citizens is under no circumstances reasonable presidential behavior, or even within a thousand miles of it. The terminological difference you point out above is inconsequential.

Let's not lose sight of the racist beginnings of that phrase either.

I'm sure PHATJ can explain to us all how it's not racist at all though.

That dude should have walked in to the police station and asked to be put in a cell 2 days ago.

My friend spoke with a prominent lawyer in Minneapolis and relayed the following:
So preface - the explanation may anger some people, but I’m simply regurgitating what I was told - Basically, from what I understand from a prominent attorney in Mpls, is because there has been talk that George Floyd was on some sort of drugs when this happened (I’m not saying he was or wasn’t...I don’t know)....they want to make sure they can rule out that the cause of death wasn’t a heart attack. If that’s the case, then the knee to the throat wasn’t the cause of death and this changes the kind of charges they can file when arresting the officer. If the death was attributed to the knee to the throat then they can file different, harsher charges. They want to make sure they have an airtight case. Either way, he’ll be charged, but it’s my understanding they don’t want to screw up anything due to technicalities. Again, I’m just regurgitating what I’ve been told by a sound legal mind. I get that people are angry. We all should be, but from what it sounds like they think people will probably be even more angry if this is screwed up due to a technicality...

Can’t help but wonder if they got duped by a smooth talking dude in a slick promotional video telling them it was a great place to start a business and raise a family. Man, that would be unforgivably disgusting.

Reports that he was not arrested but taken into protective custody for his own safety.

No. He’s been arrested. Charged papers are in the process of being signed and out into system.
