Weird, in this video of the alleged cop smashing the auto shop: https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=98PNX_1590738183
There's the same pink shirted person in this clip too: https://twitter.com/i/status/1266294275454627840
Hmm, am I going mad?
The auto zone is over the road from the police station so not surprising if he's trying to stop people smashing stuff up that he'd be seen at both spots.There's the same pink shirted person in this clip too: https://twitter.com/i/status/1266294275454627840

and the price of Diesel shown in the background is at 99c when the cheapest diesel at the pumps in the state is ~ $2.74.
the sign outside the Speedway gas station on Chicago Avenue doesn't show a price for diesel. It shows Unleaded petrol and COFFEE AT NINETY NINE CENTS. That took me another 20 seconds.Can anyone explain the hysteria behind the tweet Trump made?
Is the quote from a film or something?
Seems totally normal straight talking Trump to me. It’s why a lot of people love the guy in the US, I’m sure the majority of hard working, law abiding people there would probably welcome his comment, no?
Just seems to me the media love to stir the pot.
Haven’t we got things a bit backward when we’re outraged at a comment towards people stealing and looting intended to make them stop?

The quote the president tweeted — "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" — was said by former Miami Police Chief Walter Headley during a December 1967 news conference, according to The Washington Post.Is the quote from a film or something?
Miami had a long history of aggressive policing. The Post said that quote was cited by a national commission as a contributing factor in rioting that broke out in the mostly black Liberty City section of Miami in August 1968.
Seems a bit of an inflammatory statement to make.

I stand corrected, think I'll leave me tinfoil hat at home tomorrow.
Sorry about the shouting. I got a bit excited!I actually emigrated to America back in 2010 and didn't stay more than a year, glad I didn't stay now.

Ok, thanks. I had an feeling I’d heard the saying repeated before. Mind you, I had CNN on earlier and there was no mention of the history of the quote mentioned, just the outrage.

Interesting, if true
They knew each other and worked together in a restaurant

Original video of what has led to all this is rather shocking: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=101570...
I think what's worse is it's not one moment of poor behaviour like a questionable shooting or strike, he has minutes to reassess what he's doing.
Where's PH's very own police brutality expert when you need him? Hiding in his Belgian basement?I think what's worse is it's not one moment of poor behaviour like a questionable shooting or strike, he has minutes to reassess what he's doing.

There is something very strange about some of the images I've seen on twitter.
TV boxes stacked up high being moved around on a dolly by looters looked and moved like empty boxes.
The incident where the chap was killed by the officer leaning on his neck has some anomalies:- The cruiser has the VRM: POLICE and the price of Diesel shown in the background is at 99c when the cheapest diesel at the pumps in the state is ~ $2.74.
False flag event?

That's fascinating history. Typical mainstream media though; risking their lives, going to the front lines, poorly equipped and underfunded, but they took risks. Who on earth do they think they are?Well done Christiane taking on president Clinton.
