  1. I hope the powers that be let the cops do what needs to be done. Turn on loose with every bit of non-lethal they have, I guarantee you those lowlifes will learn a valuable lesson.

    1. Those cops wouldn’t know what non lethal force was if it stepped on their neck for nine minutes straight.

  2. I did not see a single mother at a school board meeting in that clip: So according to your president, the DOJ and the FBI those are not terrorists.

  3. But since it’s Atlanta, they’ll all have their charges dismissed by a Democrat judge after completing 10 hours of community service. 😐

  4. BS that this is considered domestic terrorism but blowing up actual power grids was “vandalism”

  5. protejense sus vidas. no hay precios uds son personas inportantes y los covardes terroristas no valen nada ellos solo cometen crime x y asaltos novienen atrabajar sino arobar.

  6. Maybe a android video game type platform could be used to avoid voilence like this , By being able to protest ect in the virtual world , and it could be geographicly correct , and people could chose from custom protest signs pepper spray ect , and pople could voice their opion and no one would get hurt , and the police could play as police . 🤔

    1. Bro you need to go outside if you think thats a good idea. The point of a protest is to cause trouble. No one is going to listen to your cause if you’re not making a big deal out of it. People *always* get hurt for progress. You know how they say regulations were written in blood? So is progress.
