It’s been a year of Antifa and unchecked anarchy: Devine

excerpt:
It was one year ago on Friday that Minneapolis’ soy-boy mayor, Jacob Frey, issued the order to police to evacuate the Third Precinct and leave the station to be overrun by the mob and
burned to the ground.
Protests had quickly
turned violent after George Floyd’s death under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin three days earlier, and the police surrender only empowered the domestic terrorists who were whipping up the crowd.
For the next four nights, criminals ransacked the city and terrorized its residents with little in the way of police intervention.
Frey’s craven capitulation to the forces of violence had lit the match on a summer of rage across the country that really lasted beyond the November 2020 presidential elections, in lawless places on the West Coast like Portland and Seattle. Statues were toppled, the White House was besieged, looters had a field day, and police were assaulted with bricks, Molotov cocktails, bottles of urine and lasers.
More than 30 people were killed, 700 police officers were injured, and insurance damages were estimated at over $2 billion.
The American people, already battered by a pandemic, had to endure six months of relentless terrorism from anarchist militants whose actions were minimized, normalized and, in some cases, applauded by the Democratic Party and Trump-deranged media in an election year.
Until he was against it,
candidate Joe Biden was all for “Defunding the Police” — or “absolutely” redirecting funds away from police, as he put it.
Kamala Harris promoted a bail fund for rioters.
No one will forget how Democrats played footsies with the thugs for political advantage. They fed the malicious lie that police are “systemically” racist murderers of black people.
“This is our moment to root out systemic racism and ensure justice finally rings out for all in America”, tweeted Biden while our cities were burning.
At the same time, far-left politicians such as Minnesota’s Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison, tried to divert blame onto Trump voters who he pretended were the external agitators in Minneapolis’ riots. “White supremacists,” he called them.
It was a narrative that would stick. ......
