30 police officers were injured overnight in Philadelphia as BLM rioters threw bricks, started fires, & looted stores. One female sergeant was hit by a car & had leg broken. Rioters are angry a black man who charged at police w/a knife was shot dead.
But CNN and other likeminded networks are trying to ignore the story...wonder why?
I looked it up, and the 30 number is being reported by some pretty sketchy sources. Plus I know how police report the injured; they're ******* ******* (remember when they claimed that a candle was a bomb?)
Still pretty bad obviously. I've never supported violence against police officers. From what I understand of the story (and we don't have all the facts) the shooting could potentially be justified. I haven't seen anyone claim that he charged at the police; all I know is that he had a knife and had some mental health issues.
In a related statement, I think it's funny, talking to some on the right, that you can get the impression that entire cities are being burned down. I think some of them genuinely don't believe Portland exists anymore. Someone will say "I'm in Portland" and a right-winger will ask how they're surviving the leftist mob as if that's not contained to one or two blocks.
