This is disinformation, also known as lies. There was no riot in Portland on Friday, Jan 7, 2022 - there was a peaceful vigil calling for renewal of Voting Rights. Pete Simpson did not speak to CNN on this day. You are jumbling events from different dates to build your ridiculous narrative. This is the kind of foolishness that distorted the Virginia Governor's election - inaccurate reporting and dissembling.

The only person talking about Jan 7 2022 is you. We're all talking about Trump's inauguration day.

We are talking different languages. When I talk about police I talk about Robert Peel's London Bobbies who serve and belong to the community.

Maybe I am mistaken but don't American police act more like private security guards.

Peel's nine principles of policing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles

No. 9 is a doozey.

To recognize the absence of crime and disorder is the measure of police efficiency not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.

Policing is not an American concept. You can dress them up as gendarme, police, policia but they are not police they are militias.

In the 1960s we sang we shall overcome and today thing are worse than ever. We have been overcome and we are killing our brothers and sisters.

Maybe in honour of Joe Manchin and the people of West Virginia it is time to sing Which side are you on.

Good luck getting this version on MSNBC or FOX
