Seattle Black Lives Matter clashes spark 45 arrests, 21 police injured

Nice and quiet and warm in Florida, USA.

Riots somewhere?--yes, its all about power and money.

Governments not interested in improving anything.

No reason to worry--dictatorships will win.

"We saw what was happening in Portland and we wanted to make sure in our city we were standing in solidarity with other moms," said Lhorna Murray, who attended on behalf of the newly formed Wall of Moms Seattle, replicating a tactic from the Portland protests where mothers, dressed in yellow, form a human wall between protesters and law enforcement.

I read this article and thought, wow, moms out there marching. I thought of:

Moms walking their children to the school bus

Moms working all day then coming home to help their children with homework

Moms cooking dinner

Moms watching TV with their kids

Moms taking their kids to the zoo, etc

 

But never did it occur to me that "Wall of Moms" (@wallofmoms official twitter) is a group that describes themselves

as "PDX-based network of womxn and non-binary mother-identifying folx"

 

So what what does that even mean? Do they even have kids? So confused.

Any idea what is happening here in Seattle? I accept as I have been instructed multiple times that the "defund the police" movement does not mean defund the police. Sounds confusing, but fair enough. So what on earth is the Seattle police chief going on about? She thinks the left are trying to cut funding to the police by 50% (FIFTY PERCENT!!).

 Who is right? Who is wrong? What a mystery. 

 

"Seattle police chief pleads with city officials to 'do the right thing' and call for 'aggressive' protesters to stop marches on her home because she opposes 50 percent cut in cop funding"

So all the lives lost during this continuing BLM protest is worth the life of one man?  Or is it the lure of free Panasonic TVs and toiletries.

Rioting Protesting beats sitting in mummy's basement looking at social media all day, IMO.
