Killer flower pots, explosive candles, concrete ice cream
There have been claims set forth by various police authorities to explain why violence against protesters was necessary. Whatever form of insanity Trump has, it seems to be contagious.
On Monday evening, the commissioner of the New York Police Department, Dermot Shea, put out a call urging New Yorkers to be vigilant against a dire threat. Warning that the NYPD had found concrete disguised as ice cream at George Floyd protests, Shea urged the public to report to detectives if they knew anything about this dire plot. This followed an earlier police alert saying that police had found cups filled with cement and made to look like chocolate chip ice cream in the area of protests.
In Seattle, there was the dastardly case of the improvised explosives reported by the police department there. Explosives that were clearly
smashed candles.
