Trump has made a statement.

"We will NOT stand for looting, arson, violence, and lawlessness on American streets. My team just got off the phone with Governor Evers who agreed to accept federal assistance (Portland should do the same!)...TODAY, I will be sending federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, WI to restore LAW and ORDER!"
-President Trump

This is nuts man.... We live in crazy times.

Ok, that is pretty insane. He was literally killing people, with police around, and left and turned himself in a day later.... this at a protest where a guy was shot 7 times in the back at point blank range, who didn't have a gun.

That is the circumstance, right? I honestly don't want to misrepresent it.

He was being chased and having bricks thrown at him. SO he shot the people chasing him.

I don't know where the police were when this happened and if they witnessed it

this was after he had already murdered a guy, that's why they were chasing him.

"We were all chanting 'Black lives matter' at the gas station and then we heard, boom, boom, and I told my friend, 'That's not fireworks,'" said Scott, 19. "And then this guy with this huge gun runs by us in the middle of the street and people are yelling, 'He shot someone! He shot someone!' And everyone is trying to fight the guy, chasing him and then he started shooting again."
 
Do NBA players really think that things are going to change by not playing a basketball game? LOL

This doesn't say what you think it says dude. It doesn't show what was happening when he made the first shot

Keep twisting yourself into knots defending this murderer. You really look bad here. I don't get it.

I haven't made a judgement on it.
You see, I like to wait for facts to come out.

A person on the scene that didn't see the initial shooting is not evidence.
I don't like condemning people of any color without evidence
