   This Photo Was Taken Last Summer. Makes One Wonder What Is To Come?
   
   Rioters in Minneapolis reportedly smashed windows and lit a dumpster on fire Thursday night near a parking garage where an officer fatally shot a suspect wanted for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon earlier. 
   
   The suspect, accused in a homicide, didn’t follow commands from the U.S. Marshal Service taskforce –  made up of local law enforcement  – and pulled out a gun during the attempted arrest, FOX 9 in Minneapolis reported, citing authorities. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
   
   It did not take long for the fun to begin...  Summer Of Love was kicked off last night in Minneapolis. It will be exciting to see what the citizens of Minneapolis have in store for them tonight.

   This all seems so half-ass-backward, does it not.? Defund police  --- police leave in droves --- ask for funds to hire police... 
   
   It would seem IMO that Minneapolis officials are pretty much floundering idiots.
   
   It also seems like we are in for another summer of love...

   It's funny that defund and defend are words that mean the opposite by one letter.
   
   Is there a problem with  d e f e n d i n g  the police?
   
   G a s p ! ! ! !
   
   You know, Black Lives Matter is a hate group. You know what they hate?
   
                                       THE POLICE
   
   and isn't this hatred the reason for their connection to Antifa
   
   and anarchy in general?
   
   hmmmmmmm

   ... "Summer of LLLove?" Where is the L O V E again?
   
   Is it for the criminals who are high and resistant to officers doing their duty ... trying, against harsh odds, to do the job they were hired to do? Arresting and STOPPING those intent on destroying the livelihoods and/or lives of others?
   
   You can only love those who bring about goodness for others. Not destruction, ceaseless anger and self-righteous justification for breaking and disregarding laws.
   
   You can have compassion for people who end up as criminals.
   But remember, no one is born a criminal.
   
   It starts in childhood. If you want good people who are happy, healthy, strong, brave and truthful, who won't steal from others, who respect the laws and want to cooperate with others, you must raise them right.
   This is the science which is more important than anything in this world. We need to understand the art and science of raising children.
   ASAP!

      There is no love involved in this kind of protest or is there any reason for most of these so-called protests. We have in this case a thug wanted for possible homicide resisting arrest, and pulling a gun on a cop.  If black people see it as unjust --- oh well.
      
      Ultimately it is the black people that are left with burned-out neighborhoods, that need to live with the hate, destruction, and violence these protesters leave behind.  Plus, they are left to put up with slow rolls when a citizen from this neighborhood needs a policeman.
      
      However, it seems many black citizens put their faith in groups like BLM, and it's up to them to pick and choose their heroes. Me, if I need to call the police, I want to feel comfortable with the fact, they will show up with good speed.
