    The crime happened days ago. The country is in turmoil. My agenda is an expectation the the president of the United States would speak to the nation, instead of making things worse with tweets.

    Local 20 percent protestors trying to run around and preserve while 80 percent out of state rioters get a thrill out of destruction. It's difficult to discern who is who. So why not set up out of town check points or is that too difficult?

    Millions, maybe, not billions.

    Also, there must be something about looting that people just do it when the opportunity presents itself.

    I wonder how long this lasts, 1-2 more days? Not like anything will change. Nothing ever does.

    The president needs to put his big boy pants on and get on TV to try and calm this mess down. We need leadership and that’s something we’ve been lacking this entire administration.

    Trump is too quick to pass the buck to someone else and now he doesn’t know what to do.

    Serious reform is needed and I wouldn’t mind civilian oversight of police departments around the country.

    A lot of people are without jobs, are on unemployment, and are just plain tired of getting screwed over by the wealthy class. What’s the answer? I don’t know but I know things need to improve.

    We are the richest country in the world and the feds can pump trillions into the economy yet we can’t help the average Joe. We can’t expand health coverage to every citizen. The wealthy has to get all they can while wages have been stagnant for decades compared to inflation. The only thing that’s trickled down is bullshit.

    No leadership, no change.

    He can't. He magnifies and divides on non issues and shirks from real issues. He is not fit for office and it shocks me that he made it out of that GOP pack in 2016.

    It's clear these riots are now more than just about race. Race has been the spark that has ignited a bigger problem - a class divide. The low socio-economic class have little-to-nothing to lose in all of this and you're seeing it now, total anarchy.

    The issues are compounded when the POTUS is looking for someone to blame rather than unite the country.

    You don't have the right to block the police from getting to where they need to go. Also at that point, police are escaping for their safety

    Not what happened. There was a barricade in front of the police vehicle. They weren't trying to get some place else

    I think the people put the barricade there

    At least that's what I recall from a longer vid of incident. I could be mistaken though.
