Here's what they were doing: They were engaging in performance theater, hence the filming of themselves.  They were behaving in a way intended to provoke a confrontation.  While the death of one of the pair was likely an unintended consequence, it was also the result of foolish choices, self-aggrandizing behavior, and a wanton disregard for the risks they posed to themselves and to others by trying to attract law enforcement attention and then trying to evade it in what can be a deadly weapon when operated recklessly and in contravention of law enforcement instructions.  Tragic, but self-inflicted.  [/quote]

This is an un-American take. Americans have the right to peaceful protest, including performative protest; including non-violent civil disobedience. In fact, we have a long history of it.

Why do you have America?

How many Minnesota politicians are on video urging residents to “fight back”, “put your body on the line”, “have to go through me.”   They are not calling for peaceful resistance and we are not witnessing peaceful resistance.  [/quote]

Zero politicians in Minnesota have called for violence. Zero. Fight is used metaphorically, give me a break. The rest of the words are perfect examples of peaceful resistance to injustice.[/quote]

These politicians are using inflammatory words to radicalize their base against law enforcement. The right to protest does not include obstructing, impeding and attacking law enforcement officers in the course of their duties. A lot of the actions of the so called “protestors” I’ve see have been unlawful. And what is the injustice? People who knowingly came here illegally are being removed. What is the injustice in that?

They still can’t murder people for hurting their fee fees.[/quote]
