I hate when people protest in front of a figure's home. Because he has a job, the person the group is protesting over is probably not even there, Before BLM, Dallas had protests led by Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price. His groups used to protest in front of Mayor Ron Kirk's home.

Didn’t Carmen Best enable this kind of behavior in the beginning? It seems like once the “autonomous zone” went up, she changed her tune. Kudos to her for standing up for the men and women who work under her once the city council went full batshit crazy.

If by "changed her tune" you mean that she ordered the police chief to order the police department to stand down for weeks on end and it wasn't until multiple shootings, and a group of "protesters" that arrived in her front yard that she chose to actually do her job, then yeah.....she has been doing a fine job.

She only looks good contrasted against the batshit city council. I saw her interviewed on the local news a couple of weeks ago and she said that if her budget is cut her main priority will be ensuring layoffs don't affect officers "of color". frick the white officers, I guess. So that's a pretty good indicator of where her head is at.

Nope. It wasn't until protestors showed up at HER house did she decide this wasn't fun anymore.

Protests and riots to destroy thee, but me!

hopefully this continues in more places so normal folk get fed up and vote correctly


It will all come down to white women. Hopefully they realize that the death of a great nation is worse than Trump trying to grab their pussies.

You know it's bad when the Seattle lunatics are sick of it. They also probably supported the protests until it affected them.


It isn't Seattle. The Chief lives in Snohomish county which is the county directly north of King County (Seattle).

Such a shame when they are not willing to give up their life for the cause. How do they ever expect to get anything accomplished by just walking away when they had such a good opportunity to get shot?
