Joy Reid is on fire.

If it was a Black Lives Matter protest people would already by shackled, arrested or dead.

Talked about the other side believes only they can choose the President and people like her are supposed to be allowed to vote.

She doesn't understand by Cruz and Hawley have not resigned.

Republicans and Conservative media have played a role in this.


Edit to Add: She is comparing Trump to Bin Laden. He is doing what Bin Laden did.

Shackled, arrested or dead if you are BLM.
If you are white, you do whatever crime you want.
White people not afraid of the police.

Black people killed by police are about 2.5 x more than whites PER CAPITA. That's NOT 2.5 x 0.

She should be ashamed of her depraved indifference to the murders, beatings, false arrests and all the other typical victimizations of those who aren't black. This isn't a new subject to her, and she's not some clueless fool ranting to no one in front of the TV. Nor am I. At a low point in my life I worked on internal affairs depositions for the internal affairs division of the LACSD.

AA are @13% of all Americans, whites nearly 75%, which means many thousands of tragedies-by-police that she doesn't admit even exist. And that kind of stunning dishonesty and hostility are not okay in anyone, but especially in a person in her position.

Did you really respond to a black woman's heartfelt expression of anger and hurt about the killing of black men a tone-deaf "All Lives Matter" diatribe?

Wow. There's some stunning dishonesty and hostility at play here, but it's not coming from Joy Reid.

and to the report that cabinet members are discussing the possibility of invoking the 25th against Trump, while others discuss impeachment, and to the interrupted business of finalizing President-Elect Biden's election which will continue through the night.

What is helicopter rotor downwash? Rotor downwash is a commonly ignored phenomenon that occurs during helicopter hover in close proximity to a ground surface. It has the potential to cause significant damage to nearby vehicles and objects, as well as people.

She spoke for all of us. I kept wondering all afternoon, where are the security forces? Why was it so easy to the thugs to break in? Where was law enforcement?
