Watching CNN and no matter how hard they try to make what’s happening in LA dramatic, it’s just a bunch of peaceful protesters with the occasional knuckleheads doing something stupid. This is not 2020.

CNN has blown this thing way out of proportion. They had wall to wall overage with excited reporters from the scene last night. Way over the top and provocative. Playing into Donald’s evil scheme. Shame on them.
CNNs agenda has always been "might makes right," that's why Wolf Blitzer (and others) would moan like a turned on poet when the US launched military force against anyone else. They love it.
That is because the executives in charge fear the administration. Feat a bs lawsuit by Trump, FCC phony claims or not being allowed in the White House. The real journalist are holding back not being allowed to speak anymore. This is just sad and only the beginning.
In 2020, in Police brutality protests in general, the cops ARE the counter protesters. Of course cops are going to riot because they can always blame the other guys.
I SO MUCH WISH someone with better GIS would show a map OF ALL of LA CO., and show where the teeny dots are for the various demonstrations. It would probably take someone 5-10 min. The news outlets, when have maps, zoom in, and don't provide people not familiar with SoCal HOW SMALL this all is.
They overhyped 2020 also. In a just world, 2020 would have been a lot worse after an innocent Black man was slaughtered at the hands of a white supremacist nazi pig.
So true it’s not Jan 6 2021 and these are not calling for the over throw of our democracy. They demonstrate with the protests our democracy. Power to the people.
2020 was pretty much the same....a HUGE bunch of peaceful protesters and a small number of knuckleheads (and right wing provocateurs) doing something stupid.
Just like when there's a wildfire they show the same big tree being consumed by large flames over and over, while not mentioning most of the land burning is extremely steep hillsides covered in chaparral, burning in little spots here and there.
They'll keep showing the guy on the dirt bike forever.
Agree, @cnn.com maybe call this out for what it is…a distraction from Trump’s failing economy and the big beautiful bill that takes benefits away from the American working class.
donny wants his war, so cnn provides. This is just the pre-game show leading up to his big boy parade on Saturday. And by the way, those tanks rolling into DC ain’t gonna leave after.

They have to do too much to convince a certain class...
Service members have a legal obligation to obey orders from their superiors that are lawful.
Military law also acknowledges the duty of service members to refuse orders that are unlawful.
