So when various mayors say they truly understand and respect peaceful protesters - yet then their own police get violent toward those protesters - does this mean the mayors do not have control of their police forces? Actions speak louder than words.

This was normalized a few years ago when the mayor of NYC addressed the NYPD and officers turned their back in “protest.” That sent a message to forces across the US: you don’t answer to elected officials, and, in rare circumstances, you will not be punished for abuses.

It doesn’t help that outside agitators from Antifa and George Soros are coming in and fucking things up. Police are tense. Everyone is tense. Say something relevant Marianne. Maybe you should have stopped after A Return To Love.

It means they are liars and hypocrites, or they are being held hostage by the Praetorian Guard

The mayors don’t have control over anything except creating chaos in every major city
