Their best tactic should be the body cams showing him resisting arrest, belligerent and them unable to put him peacefully in the back of a police car requiring they restrain him until a suitable transportation vehicle arrives.

If body cams don't show that, then some popo is going to jail for a few years.

They don't. eCat is pissed.

I'm betting e is debating about if he should take his Confederate flag down now from his compound. It's only a matter of time.

He knows what the right choice is.

George Will, the thinking man's conservative - once Professor Tiger's guiding light, his constant go-to for source material. Arbiter of truth and all that. Will was prof's guru - and he used big words. That was then...pre-Trump. The break-up followed.

‘Four More Years of This?’: George Will Says Trump and His Republican ‘Enablers’ Must Be ‘Removed’
By KJ EdelmanJun 1st, 2020, 10:14 pm https://www.mediaite.com/trump/four-mor ... e-removed/

The nation’s downward spiral into acrimony and sporadic anarchy has had many causes much larger than the small man who is the great exacerbator of them. Most of the causes predate his presidency, and most will survive its January terminus. The measures necessary for restoration of national equilibrium are many and will be protracted far beyond his removal. One such measure must be the removal of those in Congress who, unlike the sycophantic mediocrities who cosset him in the White House, will not disappear “magically,” as Eric Trump said the coronavirus would. Voters must dispatch his congressional enablers, especially the senators who still gambol around his ankles with a canine hunger for petting.
In life’s unforgiving arithmetic, we are the sum of our choices. Congressional Republicans have made theirs for more than 1,200 days. We cannot know all the measures necessary to restore the nation’s domestic health and international standing, but we know the first step: Senate Republicans must be routed, as condign punishment for their Vichyite collaboration, leaving the Republican remnant to wonder: Was it sensible to sacrifice dignity, such as it ever was, and to shed principles, if convictions so easily jettisoned could be dignified as principles, for . . . what? Praying people should pray, and all others should hope: May I never crave anything as much as these people crave membership in the world’s most risible deliberative body.

A Will term like "Vichyite collaboration" used to make prof swoon. Funny thing is - Trump, with his very limited vocabulary, could read that passage over and over and still not get it's meaning. Were he inclined to read, of course.

Imagine a world where peaceful protesters are rousted from their perch by tear gas and rubber bullets 35 minutes before an imposed curfew. Imagine next that said reason for the illegal disruption was just because our President wanted a photo op holding a bible in front of a church. Could you ever imagine that?

The fucker needs to go. Now.

Meth and fentanyl

Biden is completely destroying Trump right now. Awesome.

Where did crotch and prof go? Pussies. Just like their President

Couple of nice literary references in there as well (Shakespeare and TS Eliot) that would no doubt sail right over Trump's head...

Hopefully a bullet doesn't

That video doesnt seem to show bricks...them leaving anything...or the middle of a protest?

Where’s the humility? Where’s the cooperation? I think it just provokes...

Stock market has been up since the protests erupted. I guess the uber wealthy aren’t that worried. In fact, it would appear they like it.

I do.
