I remember the rioters burning down the police precinct building just a couple miles away from here in Minneapolis. So I think it’s fair to say there have been attacks on police.



[flagged]


There were people in the buildings that got burned, many people got injured in the mayhem.


How many people were in that Minneapolis precinct?

> At least 13 officers were inside the building at the time, Meuser said, and some wrote what they thought were final texts to family members and loved ones fearing they would be killed.


By cops and their lawyer who are trying to make a buck off of this.

The third precinct was abandoned when the fences started coming down. That's a full 30 minutes before any fires were started.


You can keep moving the goalposts, but it doesn’t really matter. You’ve shown your colors.


What goalposts did I move?

Please don't insult me.


That has been true in some cases, but it is not true in the general case as you suggest.


In Seattle recently they tried to use cement to seal the fire exits before burning the police station in order to kill the police inside. I would say that counts as an attack on the police.


Cement doesn't work like that. They would have been more successful nailing, screwing, or even gluing the door shut.

Incorrect.

Cement was at East Precinct.

Fire was at West Precinct.

You've received misinformation that filtered down from one very dishonest conservative source, MyNorthwest.


Yes, I'm sure they were just cementing the doors as a practical joke, not planning to set it on fire as they are doing across the country. /s


Parent is strictly incorrect and is being taken in by very poor and dishonest sources of information. Your comment is purely speculation, please don't muddy the waters.

Out of interest, if there was an intentional fire in a school, would consider this act to be an "attack on elementary school children"? Or would you consider there to be a distinction between setting a fire in a building and harm to actual human beings?
