Was this a Racial Slur?

There is a political aspect which has to be present for something to be accurately described as terrorism, see the definition which you kindly provided. The protests in Michigan were political in nature. The criminal acts you refer to were not. .
I can keep explaining it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Well if political means relating to government, and police are local government run....

Come on man. Be for real. You know good and damn well what the difference between politically motivated actions and common street crime is. Stop trying to make something fit a definition which it clearly doesn't. The behavior in the video you show is repugnant and should be punished. It's utterly unacceptable. It's just not terrorism.
 
Did anyone listen to the statement from the Rose garden today? “I am your president of law and order...a number of state and local governments have failed to take necessary action to safeguard their residents...we will succeed, 100%, our country always wins...that is why I am taking immediate presidential action to stop the violence and restore security and safety in America. I am mobilizing all available federal resources civilian and military to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson and to protect the rights of law abiding Americans (including your second amendment rights). Therefore the following measures are going into effect...I will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. As we speak I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers...to stop the looting...etc. One law and order, and that is what it is, one law, we have one beautiful law“. One beautiful law? No kidding, that’s what he said. He spent less than half a minute talking about Floyd. He spoke for almost eight minutes. He spent no time whatsoever speaking to the initial cause for the protests, no police reform, no ‘presidential action’ addressing the policing issues that are clearly evident to everyone else in this country. Just as an aside, who brought up our second amendment rights besides him?

trapping police and fire departments from responding to a burning building with people inside is not common street crime.

Burning multiple buildIngs and police cars is not common street crime.

beating innocents is not common street crime.

looting to this degree is not common street crime.

if this is common wherever you live then I’m glad I do not live there.

What is the political goal of "trapping" police? Burning buildings? Looting?
Beating innocent people is absolutely common street crime. By common I mean garden variety, typical crime. Not necessarily frequently occurring incidents.

At this point, are you really surprised? He's playing to the people who still believe in him. He desperately wants to appear tough, so he says what he thinks makes him sound tough. No leadership, no statesmanship, no acknowledgement of the problem. Nothing constructive at all. Just reckless talk that will stoke the fires of resentment and cost the lives of more Americans. He should just leave this to the professionals.

Me surprised at what he says? Not at all. And as you know nothing will change until November.
 
Joshua Dumas...if you read the definition word for word it could be used to describe perhaps 0 % of the "protestors." It is just NOT a term that any media source,average person,law enforcement or your president is using. Why? Because its not 911. Your attempt to push your interpretation of a word is not going to sway anybody. Continue on with your ideology and use of the word but it will just not catch on. The T word is used for things like 911 not for drunken hell raisers in the street. Terrorism usually requires some thought and extensive planning...some of YOUR terrorists...by YOUR definition woke up this morning,called a few buddies and said..."lets go burn some shi7 and loot a new TV." Effecting political change is the farthest notion from their minds.
To effect some sort of political change usually requires some intelligence,good planning and execution of political agenda.
This particular group are after free appliances and to burn shi7.
The "protestors" trying to effect political change ARE NOT TERRORISTS because they are peacefull demonstrators trying to make change with slogans and chants.
Now,if I have not spelled this out clearly enuff for you I would suggest you take your opinion and go get... a coffee.
Sorry...that was the "Old Rubb" he surfaces periodically from time to time to try and effect change when all else seems to have failed.A sort of CYBER TERRORIST if you will.

Well Rubb, the Prez actually did refer to the recent looters, arsonists, rioters and those who assault innocents as terrorists, domestic terrorists. Of course he’s incorrect. :confused:

Theres multiple videos posted of this very same thing. Bricks neatly staged and set at certain locations. Strange things and strange times we're in. What do you believe? Who can you trust. Like I've said before...narrow path God 1st.

Maybe the bricks have been carefully laid there to honor George.

I caught all five late night talk shows tonight and they were on topic and actually pretty good. They all had black guest speakers, some, writers on the shows and some, friends of the hosts. One of the best guests was on Fallon’s show, Jane Elliot, a white educator I’ve been familiar with since my college days. She’s the blue eyes brown eyes teacher if that sparks a memory. What a great ol girl! She addresses the notion that some whites have when they say stuff like, ‘I don’t see colors, I’m color blind‘. She related stories about Dr. King’s assassination which was on my birthday in 68 and the response from the Press including Cronkite’s response. Good show if you can find it again. I must also admit that I’m secretly in love with Amber Ruffin, a writer on Seth Myers show. I know it’s off topic but:rolleyes: Oh, I think it’s also necessary to point out that all five talk show hosts are white men.

Fair enough, maybe domestic terrorists is incorrect. What would you like to call these people?

I wouldn't watch late night liberal talk shows if they paid me!
 
:shocked: I know you are jesting.....would be a good way to start a civil war...
No, not jesting. They need to stop these people from destroying cities, killing people. I'm not talking about the peaceful protesters. They need to get them off the streets at curfew and then take care of the violent rioters. Use water cannons, tons of tear gas, rubber bullets, and if needed lethal force. These people are causing billons of dollars in damage. They stop traffic and break car windows trying to get innocent people out. People just coming home from work or whatever.

No one even talks about Covid 19 anymore.
