I haven't done my homework on this particular incident, but is it possible the helicopter was there to dissuade any would be rioters, looters, and arson enthusiasts RATHER than the protesters themselves? If I were protesting, I think I would be more at ease knowing people were there to stop the ugliness, thereby keeping me safer. Maybe there is another perspective here?

Not sure but the NG is investigating the incident

Investigation is for their use on June 1 in DC. Just making sure it’s not for Tuesday's use.
 
I was just thinking this morning, remember when everyone was shaming the president for wanting to
open the country back up a couple weeks ago.. Completely shamed him for wanting to open 40 occupancy restaurants but now silence with the masses gathering in the streets. Not one word about it. Literally no one is thinking about Covid anymore. They pull the strings and we dance.

Now you know that Covid only spreads in churches, restaurants, small businesses, and sporting venues.
 
From the activists and organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement, here is some information as to what the true agenda behind it is. To summarize the article, the activists and organizers of this movement are using black lives merely as a vehicle to push America towards their own agenda; one of anti-capitalism, Marxist ideology. It’s scary stuff and keep in mind these goals and agendas listed were sourced from numerous interviews with prominent BLM activists and organizers. This isn’t to say all who agree with the message of the BLM movement are Marxist but rather how the leaders of the movement are using black people and the message of racial injustice to manipulate people’s emotions and push America towards their Marxist agenda.

“The Black Lives Matter Allies segment hopes to make amends for a sense of privilege and accompanying guilt through their involvement with Black Lives Matter. Allies told us one of most fulfilling aspects of their connection to Black Lives Matter was that it afforded them the opportunity to demonstrate to their peers that they were actively pursuing good. It is important that they demonstrate their solidarity with Black protesters and in doing so make amends for their culpability as unfairly privileged members of society.

First, Black Lives Matter has created an atmosphere where forces more emotionally compelling than “truth-seeking” encourage fealty through the threatened stigma of being an outsider, and discourage diversity of opinion. Through our research, we found that both the Activists and the Allies were united by the fear of being ostracized from the left’s cultural community and clung to the community they were provided by publicly supporting Black Lives Matter.

Black Lives Matter frequently uses shows of force – either by seeking them from university administrators or through aggressive demonstrations – to silence dissent, as well. Activists recounted to us that they found it appropriate to ask administrators to step in and stop perceived “hate speech,” although they considered themselves to be supporters of free speech.

Finally, by portraying criticism of their cause as an attempt tostifle their speech, they in effect demand freedom from criticism.

Black Lives Matter’s core message is built upon, depends upon, and has as its ultimate goal, the larger retelling of the American story as one of oppression and racism. There are two narratives that describe the foundational story of America, and they diverge both in how they view the past and the path they offer for the future.

The first is that America’s story is an attempt to match the institution of government with the premise that all men are created equal – that the system equalizes us and unites us through the law (Constitution) and that, despite failures to always deliver on this promise, the spirit of the country has been a departure from other cultures’ impediments to advancement. The second presents a different view: an America of competing groups that should not place their faith in the law (or a promise of equal treatment), for the system—the governing structures rooted in the Constitution—are designed to preserve elites’ power and preclude the rest of society from achieving equal status.

The second story, the story of division and systemic injustice, is the foundation for the Marxist “Haves and Have-Nots” class division, and reveals the philosophical underpinnings of the Black Lives Matter movement are deeply entwined with far-left Marxist ideology.


When The Frontier Lab spoke with Operatives in the Black Lives Matter movement, they revealed that they had all been involved with other leftist movements, including Occupy Wall Street, but found that their involvement with Black Lives Matter was far more rewarding due to its success in the media and ability to create a sustainable and more widespread perception of moral authority. Operatives’ prior association with Occupy Wall Street reveals that they goals are not particular to the Black Community but to the Marxist ideals instead.

With this in mind, we need to see the Black Lives Matter movement as a leftist, anti-Capitalist movement using Black Lives as the vehicle.”


 
Not even close. I watched the whole thing live. The protests were peaceful and lawful and dispersed only because the president wanted the photo op. They very clearly used tear gas. Not only did I watch several people have to wash their eyes out, other news agencies reported the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. All because the president wanted a photo op with a Bible. Disgusting.
 
This morning I woke to a curfew
Oh God I was a prisoner too
Could not recognize the faces standing over me
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality
How many rivers do we have to cross
Before we can talk to the boss
That's why we're going to be burning and looting tonight

Another massive load of conservatively spun garbage rhetoric intended to strike fear in its readers over supporting BLMs that it's somehow marxist. Truly pathetic argument. Lol.
 
Like I said. I know what I saw. I witnessed the entire event. Here’s an eyewitness account from the ground:

Everyone who said there was tear gas initially now is doing a 180 after proven to be completely false. Over 15 park police were taken to the hospital so I’m not sure that meets the definition of “peaceful”.
 
Are all the protestors and rioters in NC practicing those 3 W’s shoved down our throat for the past month? I saw Cooper must have forgot about that the other night. Dr Cohen better call him out!

There's no conspiracy here, tear gas was used to disperse the peaceful protestors, that's a fact. Not sure why so many republicans try to turn everything into a conspiracy theory.
