Let us all hope for the WORLD's sake it gets nowhere near to that inflection point moment.

(4,465 posts)11. I hope you are right,
but at this point I dont see any other outcome. Trump will never leave peacefully, so violence is what he will resort to. What we are seeing now is just a warm up for the election. The police will certainly side with Trump.

Your image has just reverted to what it was in 1968. You just spit in the face of every cop who has tried to be decent and do his/her job properly for the last 50+ years.
They started it in LA yesterday and got a lot of help from affluent white kids clad in black.

By the way, those baton headstrikes are use of deadly force.
