And in Buffalo, all of our peaceful protests are organized by community leaders The majority of buffalonians were peaceful protesters. Majority While there were paid agitators Bussed in from other cities to cause disturbances.. I never said all... Majority I was downtown earlier in the day, there were people from New Jersey Ohio Pennsylvania being bussed in for the protest Of course protesters are bussing in to nearby major cities. That's normal. The majority of rioters/looters are local. That's also normal. I know you mean well, but you're sounding a little dillusional. 3

I 100% agree they were real protesters out there, not trying to cause a disturbance There's a difference between protesting and rioting. The rioting was incited from people not from this community i think you may be right. I also think there’s no way of knowing for sure unless they arrest main agitators and find out where they’re from. But trust, I’ve lived in Buffalo my whole life, I hope you’re right. 1

Then he walked it back. I’m just saying we don’t know. I know people that were down there I will ask them if they ran into BS like that and report back. Again, I am not calling you a liar I just don’t know.

Haven’t talked to many personally yet but the few that I did last night did say “a few” seemed like out of towners. So we’ll see.

No idea why that mayor made that statement with widely wrong info.

Perhaps a Buffalo news agency will check police records as well. Maybe another reason to use this tactic is to dissuade the President from calling out local Democratic leaders like he did to Minnesota, calling them weak. I'm saddened like you are that we can't seem to unite as a country, state, community; any level. Faith in your community is a good thing to have. Hang in there. 2
frostbitmic Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Great night for me, great night again for this country. Tonight I received a phone call from the company monitoring my business' at 11:20, my alarm system detected a problem. I told them to send the police tho I knew my biz would get hit, I told them I'm not going in (I get these calls 3 or 4 times a year) I go up there and I'm alone, cops have left cuz it's nothing, no problem... apparently not tonight. Tonight I was awoken about 1:30 by the police , pounding on my front door... thankfully the problem wasn't family etc, everybody dreads those calls late at night... however my business was looted, thousands of dollars in damage and theft. I answered the door in my skivives (picture not included)(your welcome), Thankfully my surveillance system got some great pics and they are in the posession of the Irondequoit PD. Saddest part is that I am a couple weeks shy of retiring., finalizing a sale now... Thanks for the nice sendoff #######. 1 4

We need a real leader to unite this country and elevate our society. All we have is a bunch of finger-pointers keeping us stuck in the mud. 1

" Do you collect bricks for a living?"

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 It's happening to everyone. No wonder people don't trust police. Even Jesus could come back and stumble following those instructions. 1

The other three cops need to be charged with something as well, IMO. That does not entitle anyone to loot Kroger for food or steal a big new TV. ALL the criminals need to face the music! Sorry if that’s too “real”, I’ll gladly delete. . The other three cops helped murder an unarmed American citizen and should be charged as such, we as a society need to hold the perpetrators of crimes responsible regardless if they happen to be the police or not, police killing unarmed citizens has to stop or our country is no better than any other tin horn dictatorship that murders their citizens. Enough already America! 4
