I'm upset about the dangerous and stupid riots yesterday at the Capitol but the sudden amnesia on the left (which Lopez is pointing out) is infuriating. https://twitter.com/germanrlopez/status/1347277723849404417
From the NY Times, May 30, 2020:
Have people forgotten the videos of police officers being run down in the street during these riots? https://twitter.com/joemarino_/status/1267713729791131649
In Chicago there were 65,000 911 calls made in a 24-hour period and 132 police officers injured:
Many also seem to have forgotten about the storming and destruction of the 3rd police precinct in Minneapolis.
The riots this summer were estimated to have done $1-2 billion in damage, the most expensive civil disorder in recent history: https://www.axios.com/riots-cost-property-damage-276c9bcc-a455-4067-b06a-66f9db4cea9c.html
And more than the financial losses there were the human ones. Like the death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner in Atlanta. She went out to pick up soda with her mom and was shot by people manning a roadblock. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/us/secoriea-turner-murder-arrest.html
