Seven months ago, I criticized the lack of police action and the stand-down which allowed the thugs to take over Minneapolis.
I stand by those words. I have the same criticism for today's lack of action. Those attempting a forceful takeover of buildings should be answered with force -- in all cases.
However, it's bullshit to say, "If this were BLM, the bodies would be piling up."
No, they wouldn't. We saw this for the past 7 months. Nobody on the left who kept quiet during the BLM riots has a right to bitch about the lack of police action today. Remember, Kamala Harris even promoted a fund to bail out the criminals in Minneapolis -- a fund which went on to bail out a serial rapist and other heinous criminals. Also recall that Antifa took over police stations and courthouses in various cities, and burned some down. They also took over entire city blocks for several weeks. Nothing was done.
People on the left who praised the BLM actions over the summer have no right to bitch about today.
People on the right who condemned BLM's actions in the summer are hypocrites if they don't speak out about today.
