When you're more worried about people in the streets temporarily delaying drivers and yelling at police officers, than you are about police officers shooting and killing people they're sworn to protect and serve - well, that's a problem.

In the post RNC melee, I saw people screaming at police, grabbing police. People have been throwing things at police throughout. No. just no. They are both not OKAY.

I've see the reports saying there may have been some impact, and they also point to other much more high-risk, indoor activities occurring at the same time. And I don't believe Osterholm said zero impact, just not very large. This is in keeping with numerous reports now coming out talking about how we really need to focus on the risk from indoor activities.

Have you listened to the Osterholm Update? It's brilliant and as far as you can get from political. He even said masks aren't a panacea and got a lot of flack for it from the left. Sorry but he's a lot smarter than any of us. It really speaks to where we are as a country that even experts like him are seen as political.

COVID in CA skyrocketed. Did you not see the videos and pics of the protesters that were jam packed like sardines prior to CA's out of control COVID cases? The spike in COVID in CA literally perfectly coincides with the timing of the protests and a 2-3 week incubation period. The media and health authorities are just too PC to admit that the protesters contributed to the spread.

Houston also had large protests and a big surge a few weeks after.

[b]And everyone in Houston attributes the surge to the protests[/b].

False.

These surges also coincide with reopening restaurants and bars. You need to talk to the people who do contact tracing to know where the spread came from.

Governors across the country chose this summer to allow people to crowd into bars and restaurants for the sake of the economy. You are upset that people are protesting police brutality outdoors and with masks? That's the reason you think you should stop social distancing?
Not the people partying at Rehoboth, Dewey and Ocean City? Okay. I think your priorities are way off.

This may be true in other cities, but Houston actually has done the research and does blame their uptick in the protests. That may be inaccurate, however, that is what Houston believes and has published. You can access Houston newspapers online if you wish. They are still not over the World Series, but they allow access from DC IP's.

I did look at Houston newspapers and saw disagreement about what caused the surge, as well as research from Johns Hopkins stating other factors caused the surge. So no, not "everyone in Houston" believes the protests caused the surge.

NP: Fair point. Not everyone thinks so -- only those with a working brain.

I am really annoyed by the people trying to blind DC police with laser pointers. These protestors have no concept of how malicious their actions are. I think it's all a joke to them?

No dear. It’s not a “joke.” And next they are coming for you. Wake up.

Yes folks, we are seeing political violence in Trump's America. It's fascinating though how folks seem to think this is a reason to reelect Trump. Is he only President in red states? That is so interesting.

If only we had a communist dictatorship and there was no law hindering Trump from marching troops into democrat cities to stop the violence.

Because that worked super well when he did it illegally?
