  1. Lack of Leadership and brains.

    You can only lead with your gut feelings and false promises for so long until facts and reality drops like a piano from a third story building.

  2. Leftist politicians hate police and always turn on them quickly anytime they get a chance. If they can get a job elsewhere, they take it, and guess what you’re left with?
    This cop accused apparently had a terrible record and would likely not have been hired elsewhere.

    1. The left politicians love their Militarized Police and disarmed citizenry. The “Hate police” part is for their LIV’s, same for all the hate “white privilege”, “Hate Private Property”, and all the other hypocritical BS they sell for votes.

    2. Yes, but the cop had a terrible record particularly involving minorities and kept his job in a state that is run at all levels (including dog catching) by Democrats.
      That should show the minorities that the Democrats really don’t care about them.

  3. Shrug. A majority of the electorate in most large N. American cities consistently vote for what they are now getting.

    A bit of schadenfreude is now in order. After all, the rural areas have had to live with their green, tree-hugging torments for decades.

  4. Now that CNN has been vandalized, the protests have become riots. Now, both ANTIFA and democrats can look forward to ruling over the ashes.

    1. Heh, too right.

      This is not over by a long stretch, it’s going to be a long summer of trouble across the US, this was just the spark everyone was waiting for since the economy shut down.

  5. A view from here is that this is ‘let it happen’ on the part of those that want to seize supreme power to save the world.
    It’s not a conspiracy, its an understanding that as things happen, they will come to a point where it will become acceptable to bring in a dicktator (sic) to put things in proper order as he sees fit.

    That’s all there is to it.
    The destruction is just a collateral damage.
    The proles understand that shit happens on the way to perdition.

  6. A good video to watch, and thanks for posting.

    As an example of left-wingers cheering on rioters and arsonists, here is an article from the hard-left Lawrence Martin in the Globe and Mail ( a newspaper owned by multi-billionaire owners), calling for continued, race-based violence:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-america-is-burning-and-with-good-reason/

    Lawrence Martin has a stellar, far-left history. When he was young, and when Gorbachev took over as leader of the old Soviet Union, the Globe and Mail established its first Moscow headquarters, and installed Martin as its first bureau chief. During his tenure, Russian Jews began to demonstrate against the regime, calling for exit visas to go to Israel. Mr. Martin wrote a column in the Globe denouncing the Jewish demonstrators. This is the moral scruples Lawrence Martin brings to the table.

  7. When you allow the mentally defective and socialists to “lead” the wrong path is the direction most often followed.

  8. Our Leftist Canadian cities will be next, the criminals are not keep in jail, the homeless are not dealt with, if fact it is encouraged, the safe drug sites create unsafe neigbourhoods. The Liberals only create jobs for their friends and give away money to buy votes and the conservatives have become to scared to stand up for their beliefs.

  9. A lack of leadership? Give your heads a shake. Riots are a tool of the political left. Have been for decades.
    Oh there’s “leadership” alright…just not the sort you’re looking for.

  10. Let’s see. What have we learned from the Wuhan virus lock-down.

    All the mayors in most Canadian and American cities have progressive mayors in charge who follow UN agenda 21/30 principles are most afflicted and some are now experiencing protests and riot, fueled by paid activists and a lot of people trying to make big money out of this and trying to exert ever more government control over our lives. They all love increasing density housing, promoting cycling and building ridiculous housing.

    Maurice Strong is not dead enough.

    Suddenly, plastic bags are free and you can’ t bring your filthy reusable ones to the grocery store.
    One use food containers and cups from take-out restaurants are also good.
    Gay pride parades are cancelled, as are intrusive loud bad music fake community gatherings in our lovely cities – cancelled! And no one is talking about gender pronouns.
    Cars are ok again, as they are useful for social distancing. Public transit, not so much.
    Are you buyers of mini-apartments in tall condos having fun yet? How exactly do you stay 6 feet apart in an elevator?
    Parents are essential, and are mostly taking good care of kids and teaching them; a lot of government workers are not, even though a huge number of them can not usefully work from home. Even Parliament is not an essential service as per the Liberals and NDP, so cut them off and apply for EI.

    The hypocrisy demonstrated by Trudeau is unbelievable, not doing any real work, going to his cottage, and telling everyone else that their private property is off- limits.

    Go green; go broke! Densification=plague spread
    Confining people=rage

    Mostly happy in California, notwithstanding a heat wave, as the Governor (D, of course) here still believes that the Wuhan virus can survive on pool chairs when the temperature is 111. Still trying to get home to Vancouver ….

    1. The lack of the wokeist, greenie agenda for four months had been the blessing of Covid.

      Now that crisis is over, they’ll go back to their old ways (and we will hear unendingly about how they suffered during lockdown).

      It’ll be a hot summer and fall of blockades in Canada and US cities burning.

  11. Perhaps this is an early start to the DNC riot that could make 68 look like a picnic. Stock up on Beer and popcorn. It’s the Professoriate self-actualizing vicariously through their customers / victims.

  12. I see Biden is off the front pages and the WHO Flu is nowhere to be seen. Imagine that. Peking Kanuck has something to say about “those Americans” again. Kanuckistan, not so much. How much cash shoveled out the door to date? It’s Saturday and it’s sunny and nice out. Crabapple and double plum putting on a show. Nice smell, too. Cheers.

  13. Listen to Walz at his 1:30 Saturday Morning Walz-Frey and minions press conference. Or the one going on right now at 9 am Saturday. The violence is being led by anarchists. Anarchists – The very Antifa and Black Bloc radicals they had been coddling, excusing, and protecting for the last half dozen years. And they admitted several major things:
    1. There are more Antifa coming into the twin cities from across the nation.
    2. They are going to keep on with the violence, cloaked by the protests and protesters for many more days.
    3. They didn’t have nearly enough police and National Guard to keep the peace.
    4. They didn’t even have enough to arrest the curfew breakers, the gawkers and protesters that were marching around in the middle of the night, distracting and providing cover for the looters and arsonists.
    5. They didn’t realize this is a live exercise for revolution. A violent revolution run by their pet Antifa. Their little monsters they thought they controlled are now attacking them.
    6. The rioters are shooting at the police, and setting IEDS to hurt them. They succeeded.

    Everyone they arrested last night looting, vandalizing, and commtting arson was an agitator from out of state.

    EVERYONE THEY ARRESTED WAS AN OUT OF STATE AGITATOR.

    1. and that cop was protected by union, and unions support Dims, and blacks most vote DIM

    2. Overwhelming Force. Walz is finally getting serious.

      He called out the entire Minnesota State Highway Patrol, Department of Natural Resources, and every other state police agency.

      He has called out the Entire Minnesota National Guard, and is asking our neighboring for theirs too.

      Finally he has realized he needs Overwhelming Force. Two days too late.

    3. Oh, Wow! The police and National Guard arrested a whole “about twenty” people in Saint Paul last night, and they arrested another whole “about twenty” in Minneapolis.

      They arrested less than fifty people. I bet the ones that actually got caught feel stupid.

      1. It may be the case that the criminals are actually a small fraction of the people present, so this could be close to what’s required.

  14. “lack of leadership”…? Ya think.?? Every major Canadian city has precisely that. Years of leftist wankers and it’s not just the cities. Provinces and lately our entire useless Federal arena as well. The entire country is polluted with this Gutless UNION Criminal Pandering shit.

    Democrats – Liberals …. same disgusting filthy creatures. I’m betting we see sympathy rioting in trawna… With Luck maybe they’ll obliterate the CBC

    1. “I’m betting we see sympathy rioting in trawna”

      On Thursday night Twitter was trending a “police pushed a black woman off a Toronto balcony to her death” story.

      The rioting will begin at Younge and Dundas or in front of the US Consolate on University.

      John Tory will give stand down orders, probably provide a couple old police cruisers to burn strategically placed as the police stake out on the roofs to take pictures of the ANTIFA freaks.
      I’ll even hazard the cruisers will be left exactly where they left the sacrificial cop cars during the G20.

  15. Former mayor Giuliani touched on this at the end of his interview. The staggering corruption and wealth generated by Democrat politicians. I just finished an excellent book called Profiles in Corruption which coves a small group of Democrats, Biden, Warren etc. and the deals they make to make money for themselves, their families and to keep being elected. The author states that Democrats/progressives/Liberals are totally after power as we see with Trudeau.

    Biden and his family, Hunter et al are in bed with China, Ukraine, Russia with all kinds of deals to basically sell out America.

    1. David I would argue that this”The staggering corruption and wealth generated by Democrat politicians.” is inaccurate.
      The staggering corruption and wealth STOLEN by Democrat politicians.” is more accurate.
      They generate nothing except destruction.
      The Blind worms gnawing at the foundation of civil society.
      Fools and bandits one and all.
      And we are the real fools for turning a blind eye to the corruption.
      Yes I know ,we all have lives to live and so many better things to do,that confront the endless stupidity and arrogance of our progressive comrades.

      On the bright side as they fight amongst themselves,they show their true faces to the people they freeload off of.
      A friend used to respond to my litany of theft and corruption by our Kleptocracy with;”When do we shoot”.
      The citizens of worth,in these Democrat Strongholds, are now facing that reality.
      All those decades of pretty lies have come to this.
      Getting what they voted for Good and Hard.

      Next thing coming to True Blue Electorates?
      Militia.
      Suburbanite Militias as they finally admit the compact is broken and those they pay,do not work for them.

  16. Minnesota’s Attorney General is Keith Ellison. 2 years ago, as Deputy Head of the DNC he tweeted a picture of himself with the book: Antifa – The Anti-Facsist Handbook. This is what Minnesotan’s voted for.

  17. Short answer of course is yes. Also highlights how critical the 2A is for ordinary folk when your city turns into Beirut and police are told to stand down.
    Heard one protester boldly state they were going to “take it to the suburbs”. Hmmmm…don’t think he thought that one through.

  18. Bee careful what you wish for…

    He must have been signed by Atlanta…

  19. The word Leftists is dead wrong… The correct term is “Communists” & they have been around since WW1… If Hitler had not invaded Russia, America would not have entered WWII….The purge of Communists after WWII should have ended them, but Hollywood & the MSM have keep them alive….

    Communism is Violence! first & foremost…. The Black Americans are used by the Communists to ferment resentment between races…The activists bring in other Blacks (Jamaican & Caribbean) creatures of Opportunity who are pretenders who get the benefits meant for BLACK Americans…. Black leadership in America are mostly gangsters like Jackson who trade influence for MONEY…Jackson got a bottling & distribution agency in the Chicago area….

    The real Black Americans need to forget the Agenda of Communism & get their share of the American dream without Riots… Reject the Democrat racists…We don’t need another group of Black Think-Tank Managers…..

    JMHO

  20. Actually at root it’s caused by lack of police accountability and Guiliani is one of the people most responsible for this state of affairs.

    1. Police accountability? -Giuliani- is the one to blame? After he pretty much ended crime in NYC by firing half the police force for corruption?

      Sorry. If you want to know what the real cause of all this is, here you go:

      https://phantomsoapbox.blogspot.com/2020/05/cosplay-is-now-life-threatening-pursuit.html

      Police policy and training has changed from working with the public (1950s pattern) to treating every citizen as an armed adversary. That’s the real cause. Loss of public support for the police due to bad training, bad SOP and bad leadership from the Left.

      The cops threw some girl off a balcony in Toronto the other day on a mental health call. Either they pitched her off or she jumped/fell off to get away from them. That’s pretty normal these days, medical calls ending with the patient hurt or dead because of -idiotic- training for handling individuals who don’t lie down and put the hands over their head at the first screamed command.

      But hey, let’s play partisan politics with the issue instead, right? Why try to solve the problem? Its Rudy’s fault the TORONTO cops are violent a-holes who can’t shoot straight.

      1. Under Giuliani’s reign NYC police were empowered and put on a pedestal. Shattered Windows, which had some credibility in its roots, mutated out of control. Cops were given a pedestal and empowered to Stop n Frisk people in violation of the 4A. It was a police state and still kinda is.

  21. Lack of leadership? No, not really. The Leftist leadership is getting exactly what they want here. Rioting, disorder and breakdown.

    The Leftist leadership has been -promoting- high levels of crime since the 1950s. They think destabilizing society will allow them to impose their utopian solutions on the stupid peasants. That’s how this all works.

    1. Well they haven’t been very successful. Crime is a tiny fraction of what it used to be.

      1. UnBrain said: “Crime is a tiny fraction of what it used to be…”

        …except in places where the socialists still rule. There, fixed it for you.

        Also of note, those socialist-run cities have the highest Corona infestations, with NYC topping the list.

        Those two things are related.

  22. Just a little sidebar to some of the incidents that are occurring and how many Liberal Canadians are sitting smug and safe in their own little bubble. It concerns the rapper that was murdered last week in Toronto and his underage, armed bodyguards that were involved. Background here.

    https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-trudeaus-gun-ban-focuses-on-the-wrong-target

    Now the kicker here is that the deterioration of American Law and Justice that is evident at the moment did not just happen last week. It has taken years to occur and it happens slowly, very slowly but it starts with the Democrat/Liberal mindset that is apparent in the following story.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/canada-wide-warrant-issued-for-teen-in-connection-with-shooting-death-of-toronto-rapper/ar-BB14NPlw?ocid=spartan-dhp-feeds

    The give away phrase is in the line “intent to wound”, this is how the decline into unlawfulness begins when we can’t call a spade a spade.
